Maximum Load Inductance

During demagnetization of inductive loads, energy has to be dissipated in the SPIDER - TLE 7240SL. This energy

can be calculated with following equation:

The maximum energy, which is converted into heat, is limited by the thermal design of the component.

5.2.2

Timing Diagrams

The power transistors are switched on and off with a dedicated slope via the IN bits of the serial peripheral

Switching a Resistive Load

In input mode, a high signal at the input pin is equivalent to a SPI ON command and a low signal to SPI OFF

command respectively. Please refer to Section 8.3 for details on operation modes.

Note: The listed switching times are not valid, when switching to or from stand-by mode.
