Protection & Diagnosis
The TLE94112EL is equipped with an SPI interface to control and diagnose the state of the half-bridge drivers.
This device has embedded protective functions which are designed to prevent IC destruction under fault
conditions described in the following sections. Fault conditions are treated as “outside” normal operating
range. Protection functions are not designed for continuous repetitive operation.
The following table provides a summary of fault conditions, protection mechanisms and recovery states
embedded in the TLE94112EL device.
