Low-Side Output Error Detection
Note: An over-temperature fault results in driver output cycling.
4.1.1.1. Low-side output connections
When connecting low-side outputs, note that
▪ low-side outputs are connected to a common internal ground point that is
connected to the battery ground (GND).
▪ low-side outputs provide switched ground to any load type in a vehicle.
▪ low-side outputs can sink up to 0.5 A.
When connecting a load to a low-side output, ensure that the load will not drive
currents greater than the maximum specified peak current or the maximum
specified continuous current.
