The TLE7231G is a four channel low-side relay switch.
The power stages are made of N-channel vertical power MOSFET transistors.
6.1
The TLE7231G has an input pin, that can be configured to be used for control of the output stages. The INn
parameter of the SPI provide the following operation modes:

The current sink to ground ensures that the channels switch off in case of open input pin. The zener diode protects
the input circuit against ESD pulses. After power-on reset, the device enters idle mode.

When switching off inductive loads, the potential at pin OUT rises to V
intends to continue driving the current. The voltage clamping is necessary to prevent destruction of the device,
