TPIC8101DWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPIC8101DWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPIC8101DWR?
  The maximum current rating of the TPIC8101DWR is 1.5A per channel, with a total current rating of 3A for all channels combined.
• How do I ensure proper thermal management for the TPIC8101DWR?
  To ensure proper thermal management, it is recommended to provide a heat sink or thermal pad to dissipate heat, and to keep the device away from other heat sources. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPIC8101DWR?
  The minimum input voltage required for the TPIC8101DWR is 4.5V, although it is recommended to use a minimum of 5V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the TPIC8101DWR in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the TPIC8101DWR is rated for operation up to 125°C, making it suitable for use in high-temperature environments. However, it is recommended to derate the current output at higher temperatures to prevent overheating.
• How do I protect the TPIC8101DWR from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions?
  It is recommended to use a voltage regulator or overvoltage protection circuit to prevent damage from overvoltage conditions. For undervoltage conditions, a voltage supervisor or reset IC can be used to ensure the device is not operated outside of its specified voltage range.
