Microchip Technology T6816-TISY

Description
The T6816 is a fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8 μm BCDMOS technology. It is suitable for truck or bus applications and industrial 24-V supply. It controls up to 12 different loads via a 16-bit dataword.
Each of the six high-side and six low-side drivers can drive currents up to 600 mA. The drivers are freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a standard serial data interface. This allows for the combination of various loads, including bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The IC can also be used to build H-bridges for driving DC motors in motion-control applications.
Protection is provided against short-circuit conditions, overtemperature, and undervoltage. Various diagnosis functions, such as shorted output, open load, overtemperature, and power supply fail, are also available. The low quiescent current in standby mode (Is < 20 μA) extends the range of applications.
Automotive qualification for conducted interferences, EMC protection, and 2 kV ESD protection ensures quality for automotive applications.
