Protection Functions
8.1
Over Load Protection
The TLE75080-EMH is protected in case of over load or short circuit of the load. There are two over load current
thresholds (see Figure 19):
• IL(OVL0) between channel switch ON and tOVLIN
• IL(OVL1) after tOVLIN
Every time the channel is switched OFF for a time longer than 2 * tSYNC the over load current threshold is set back
to IL(OVL0).

Figure 19 Over Load current thresholds
In case the load current is higher than IL(OVL0) or IL(OVL1), after time tOFF(OVL) the over loaded channel is switched
OFF and the according diagnosis bit ERRn is set. The channel can be switched ON after clearing the protection
latch by setting the corresponding HWCR_OCL.OUTn bit to “1”. This bit is set back to “0” internally after de-latching
the channel. Please refer to Figure 20 for details.

Over Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor is integrated for each channel, causing an overheated channel to switch OFF to prevent
destruction. The according diagnosis bit ERRn is set (combined with Over Load protection). The channel can be
