TPL9202

8-CHANNEL RELAY DRIVER

WITH INTEGRATED 5-V LDO AND BROWN-OUT DETECTION

SLIS124D – JUNE 2006 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2008

The serial communications are an 8-bit format, with data transfer synchronized using a serial clock from the

microcontroller (see Figure 1). A single register controls all the outputs. The signal gives the instruction to control

the output of TPL9202.

The NCS signal enables the SCLK and MOSI data when it is low. After NCS is set to low for T1, synchronization

clock and data begin to transmit and, after the 8-bit data has been transmitted, NCS is set high again to disable

SCLK and MOSI and to transfer the serial data to the control register. SCLK must be held low when NCS is high.
