The features, the behaviour, protection function described up to now are valid f or all three
devices, the TLE 6220, 6230, 6240 GP.
The octal switch (TLE 6230 GP) is now used to describe the output stage control and the
diagnostic feedback in principle.
4.1 Output Stage Control (TLE 6230 GP)
Each output is independently controlled by an output latch and a common reset line, which
disables all outputs. The Serial Input (SI) is read on the falling edge of the serial clock. A
logic high input ’data bit’ turns the respective output channel ON, a logic low ’data bit’ turns
it OFF. CS must be low whilst shifting all the serial data into the device. A low-to-high
transition of CS transfers the serial data input bits to the output control buffer.
The input data consist of two bytes- a control byte and a data byte. The control byte is
used to program the device, to operate it in a certain. The eight data bits contain the input
information for the eight channels, and are high active.
4.1.1 Parallel Control for Channel 1 to 4
In addition to the serial control of the outputs it is possible to control channel 1 to 4 directly
in parallel for PWM applications.
A Boolean AND operation is performed on each of the parallel inputs and respective SPI
data bits, in order to determine the states of the respective outputs.
The parallel inputs are high or low active depending on the PRG pin. If the parallel input
pins are not connected (independent of high or low activity) it is guaranteed that the out-
puts 1 to 4 are switched OFF. PRG pin itself is internally pulled up when it is not con-
nected.
PRG - Program pin. PRG = High (VS): Parallel inputs Channel 1 to 4 are high active
PRG = Low (GND): Parallel inputs Channel 1 to 4 are low active.
The AND operation implies that the output can be switched off by the SPI data bits, even if
the corresponding parallel input is in the ON state.
⇒ SPI Priority for OFF-state
This also implies that the serial input data
bit can only switch the output channel ON if
the corresponding parallel input is in the
ON state.
