The TLE 6214 L is a dual-low-side power switch which has two parallel inputs to control the 2
power DMOS switches, as well as by an 8-Bit SPI for control and diagnostic feedback. The
power transistors are protected1) against short circuit, overload (current limitation), overtem-
perature and against overvoltage by an active zener clamp. The IC has a load current propor-
tional current output for current control applications.
The diagnostic logic recognises a fault condition which can be read out via the SPI or the par-
allel status outputs (depending on the IC configuration).
Output Stage Control: Parallel Control or SPI Control
The Output stages can be controlled by parallel Inputs or by SPI command. The IC can be pro-
grammed (by SPI) to switch the outputs according to the parallel input signal, to the corresponding SPI
command bit or to a combination of these two signals.
Both, parallel inputs and respective SPI databits are high

Each output is independently controlled by an output latch.
A logic high input ‘data bit’ turns the respective output chan-
nel ON, a logic low ‘data bit’ turns it OFF.

Switching speed / Slew rate:
The switching speed / slew rate of both channels can be configured by SPI for slow or fast switching
speed (1:5) for each channel individually.
Overtemperature Behaviour:
Each channel has an overtemperature sensor and is individually protected against overtemperature.
As soon as overtemperature occurs the channel is immediately turned off (without fault filtering time)
and the overtmperature information is reported by diagnosis. In this case there are two different behav-
iours of the affected channel that can be selected by SPI (for all channels generally).
Autorestart: as long as the input signal of the channel remains on (e.g. parallel input high) the channel
turns automatically on again after cooling down.
Latching: After overtemperature shutdown the channel stays off until the overtemperature latch is re-
set by a new LÆH transition of the input signal.
Note: The overtemperature sensors of the output channels are only active if the channel is turned on.
As soon as the IC temperature (Temperature of the whole IC) reaches a specified level an overtem-
perature warning will be indicated.
1 )The integrated protection functions prevent an IC destruction under fault conditions and may not be used in
normal operation or permanently.
