The 3PEAK TPM8860 is a versatile 48V, 8-channel smart low-side driver array designed for driving various inductive, resistive, and capacitive loads. With integrated diagnostics, protection features, and support for high-speed communication, this IC is well-suited for applications such as stepper motor control, relays, solenoids, and industrial automation systems.
- High-Voltage Operation: The TPM8860 supports up to 48V maximum operating voltage, enabling the control of high-power motors and inductive loads.
- Channel Control: Each of the 8 output channels can be controlled individually through a 16-bit shift register interface.
- Protection Features: The driver includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as over-current, short-circuit, over-temperature, and open-load diagnostics, ensuring robust operation in harsh environments.
- Integrated Free-Wheeling Diodes: Each of the 8 low-side drivers includes free-wheeling diodes to handle inductive loads such as motors and solenoids, making it a suitable choice for stepper motor control.
- Daisy-Chain Communication: The shift register-based communication interface allows multiple TPM8860 devices to be connected in a daisy-chain configuration, reducing MCU I/O requirements and enabling simplified system designs.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: With a 10 MHz, 16-bit serial interface, the TPM8860 supports high-speed communication for real-time control in precision motor applications .
