APPLICATION INFORMATION
DEMAGNETIZATION OF INDUCTIVE LOADS
An internal zener diode, limiting the voltage
across the Power MOS to between 50 and 60V
(V
inductive loads without external clamping devices.
The maximum energy that can be absorbed from
an inductive load is specified as 1J (at
T
To define the maximum switching frequency three
points have to be considered:
1) The total power dissipation is the sum of the
2) The total energy W dissipated in the device

If the demagnetization energy exceeds the rated
value, an external clamp between output and +V
must be externally connected (see fig. 5).
The external zener will be chosen with V
value lower than the internal V
value and significantly (at least 10V) higher than
the voltage that is externally supplied to pin 10,
i.e. than the supply voltage.
Alternative circuit solutions can be implemented
to divert the demagnetization stress from the
TDE1890/1, if it exceeds 1J. In all cases it is rec-
ommended that at least 10V are available to de-
magnetize the load in the turn-off phase.
A clamping circuit connected between ground and
the output pin is not recommended. An interrup-
tion of the connection between the ground of the
load and the ground of the TDE1890/1 would
leave the TDE1890/1 alone to absorb the full
amount of the demagnetization energy.
