Product details
Overview
TLE9201SGAUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an automotive-grade 6 A H-bridge driver IC with integrated SPI diagnostics, PWM/DIR control interface, and latch-type protection (short-circuit, overtemperature, undervoltage). It features 100 mΩ typical RDS(on) per switch at Tj = 25 °C, 3.3 V/5.0 V logic-compatible inputs, and PG-DSO-12-17 package with exposed thermal slug. Used for bidirectional DC motor control in power seats, HVAC actuators, and throttle valves.
For engineers reviewing the TLE9201SGAUMA1 datasheet, TLE9201SGAUMA1 pinout, TLE9201SGAUMA1 application, or TLE9201SGAUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include chopper current limitation (8 A typ.), open-load detection in ON/OFF states, SPI-based diagnosis resolution, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood environments.
Technical Context
The device implements a fully integrated H-bridge using four n-channel MOSFETs with charge-pump-driven high-side gates-no external capacitor required. Control logic accepts DIR/PWM inputs to define direction and duty cycle, while DIS enables tristate output disable independent of sleep mode.
SPI interface (CSN/SCK/SI/SO) supports 16-bit read/write access to status registers including fault flags (short-circuit, overtemperature, open-load), current sense data, and configuration bits. Sleep mode is activated by pulling VSO to GND, reducing quiescent current and providing secondary output disable functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 6 A continuous (8 A chopper-limited peak); enables direct drive of mid-power automotive actuators without external heatsinking. |
| RDS(on) per Switch | 100 mΩ typ. at Tj = 25 °C; ensures <1.2 W conduction loss per channel at 6 A, supporting thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| PWM Frequency Support | Up to 20 kHz; compatible with standard microcontroller PWM peripherals and avoids audible noise in motor applications. |
| Logic Compatibility | 3.3 V and 5.0 V TTL/CMOS inputs; eliminates level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with diverse MCU families. |
| Diagnostic Interface | SPI (4-wire, CSN/SCK/SI/SO); delivers real-time fault classification (e.g., short-to-battery vs. short-to-ground) and current measurement data. |
| Protection Features | Latch-mode shutdown for short-circuit, overtemperature, VS undervoltage, and open-load detection in active/inactive states; prevents uncontrolled re-enabling after fault. |
Pinout & Package
Delivered in PG-DSO-12-17 package: thermally enhanced 12-pin SOIC with exposed copper heat slug (GND-connected), optimized for automatic optical inspection and high-power dissipation in automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DIR | Direction control input | Defines motor rotation direction (forward/reverse); logic-level compatible with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs without buffering. |
| VSO | SO output supply | Sets SO logic level (3.3 V or 5 V); also serves as sleep-mode enable when pulled to GND. |
| SO | SPI serial output | Push-pull SPI data output referenced to VSO; requires VSO ≥ SO voltage − 0.3 V to avoid parasitic conduction. |
| VS | Main supply input | Provides power for internal circuitry and gate charge pump; operates from 5.5 V to 28 V, covering cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| OUT1 / OUT2 | H-bridge outputs | Drive inductive loads bidirectionally; each rated for 6 A continuous with integrated current sensing and short-circuit protection. |
| DIS | Output disable input | Hardwired disable: forces both high-side and low-side MOSFETs OFF regardless of PWM/DIR state, enabling safe fail-safe operation. |
| PWM | Pulse-width modulation input | Controls duty cycle of output switching; combined with DIR, reduces MCU resource usage versus dual-PWM control schemes. |
| CSN / SCK / SI | SPI interface inputs | Enable register-level access to diagnostics and configuration; CSN active-low allows daisy-chaining multiple devices on shared SCK/SI/SO lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper current limitation | Automatically limits peak current to ~8 A during overload, maintaining regulation without external current-sense resistors or feedback loops. |
| Open-load detection | Identifies disconnected loads during both static (output disabled) and dynamic (PWM-active) operation, critical for safety-critical actuator monitoring. |
| Thermal robustness | PG-DSO-12-17 package with GND-connected heat slug achieves low junction-to-board thermal resistance, enabling 6 A operation at 105 °C ambient without forced air. |
| SPI diagnostic granularity | 16-bit status register reports individual fault sources (e.g., "short to battery on OUT1", "open load on OUT2"), eliminating ambiguity in root-cause analysis. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), ensuring reliability across automotive temperature ranges and vibration profiles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar H-bridge motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTS716G | Lower current rating (4.5 A continuous), no SPI interface-only single error flag output. | Lacks register-level diagnostics; suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications without detailed fault logging. | Select when diagnostic depth is unnecessary and board space is constrained; verify thermal margin at 6 A loads. |
| DRV8876-Q1 | Higher RDS(on) (150 mΩ), integrated current sense amplifier (analog output), no latch-mode shutdown. | Requires external ADC and fault-handling firmware; better suited for closed-loop current control than discrete fault reporting. | Prefer when analog current feedback is needed for torque control, but avoid if latch-type safety shutdown is mandated. |
Compared with BTS716G and DRV8876-Q1, TLE9201SGAUMA1 uniquely combines 6 A drive capability, SPI-accessible diagnostics, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification-making it optimal for applications requiring traceable fault classification and fail-safe behavior without MCU overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage (VS) for continuous operation?
The TLE9201SGAUMA1 supports VS from 5.5 V to 28 V under normal operating conditions. Absolute maximum rating is 36 V for transient events such as load dump, but sustained operation above 28 V risks permanent damage. Designers must ensure TVS clamping and filtering meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements.
Does the device support independent half-bridge control, or is it strictly H-bridge only?
The TLE9201SGAUMA1 operates exclusively as a full H-bridge with fixed OUT1/OUT2 pairing; it does not support independent high-side or low-side switching. The DIR/PWM control scheme inherently couples both outputs for bidirectional motor drive-no provision exists for split-half-bridge use cases like LED matrix driving or synchronous rectification.
How does open-load detection function during PWM operation?
Open-load detection remains active during PWM operation by sampling output voltage during off-time intervals. When OUT1 or OUT2 floats above threshold (indicating no load path), the SPI status register sets the corresponding open-load bit. This works for inductive loads because flyback energy discharges through body diodes, allowing reliable voltage sampling in freewheeling phases.
Can the VSO pin be driven directly by a microcontroller GPIO without external buffering?
Yes-VSO can be driven directly by a 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIO to enable sleep mode, provided the GPIO can sink ≥2 mA (typical VSO pull-down current). However, due to SO output's internal current return path to VSO, ensure the GPIO's absolute maximum rating exceeds VSO voltage plus 0.3 V to prevent latch-up or damage during SO transitions.
