The Infineon TLE6240GP is a 16‑channel smart low‑side power switch IC designed for automotive and industrial load‑switching applications. It belongs to Infineon’s Smart Power Technology (SPT) family and is controlled via an SPI serial interface. 

🔌 Key Characteristics

• Channels: 16 independent low‑side outputs (open‑drain DMOS) for driving inductive and resistive loads. 

• Interface: SPI serial data input and diagnostic output (2 bits per channel) for status/reporting. 

• Parallel Control: Supports direct parallel control of eight channels for PWM applications with programmable active levels. 

• Protection: Integrated protection features including:

  • Short‑circuit protection

  • Overtemperature shutdown

  • Overvoltage protection

  • Open load and short to ground detection per channel. 

• Diagnostics: General fault flag plus detailed diagnostic output via SPI. 

• Logic Compatibility: Designed for 5 V supply and compatible with 3 V microcontrollers. 

• Temperature Range: Typically −40 °C to +150 °C operating junction temperature. 

• Package: PG‑DSO‑36 surface‑mount package with exposed heatslug.
