TPS2212IDBG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TPS2212IDBG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating of the TPS2212IDBG4?
  The maximum current rating of the TPS2212IDBG4 is 2A per channel, with a total current limit of 4A for both channels combined.
• How do I configure the TPS2212IDBG4 for active-high or active-low enable inputs?
  The TPS2212IDBG4 has active-low enable inputs by default. To configure for active-high enable inputs, connect the ENx pin to VCC through a pull-up resistor and use an inverting logic signal to control the enable input.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TPS2212IDBG4 to operate?
  The minimum input voltage required for the TPS2212IDBG4 to operate is 2.7V, but it is recommended to use a minimum input voltage of 3.3V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the TPS2212IDBG4 as a high-side switch?
  No, the TPS2212IDBG4 is a low-side switch, meaning it can only switch the ground connection of a load. It is not suitable for high-side switching applications.
• How do I protect the TPS2212IDBG4 from inductive kickback when switching inductive loads?
  To protect the TPS2212IDBG4 from inductive kickback, use a flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) in parallel with the load, and consider adding a snubber circuit to reduce voltage spikes.
