Smart 18-channels Low-Side Switch in Smart Power Technology. The TLE8718SA is the most advanced Low-Side Switch designed for Powertrain applications. It's equipped with the Micro Second Channel (MSC) communication interface for High Speed control and diagnosis. All channels are protected against over-current/temperature and enhanced with an active clamping circuitry for driving inductive loads. Load status detection is possible over the MSC for: Short to GND (SCG), Open Load (OL), and Short to Battery (SCB).
