The HI-84216 is a smart 16-channel low-side driver designed for high reliability applications. The device uses a 40 MHz Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for intelligent switch control, monitoring and advanced diagnostics. It is capable of sinking 250mA per channel with up to 4A total sink current for parallel channel operation. An 8-bit ADC provides accurate measurement of channel current and temperature while an internal PWM clock generator with 16-bit resolution provides application flexibility.
