(1) Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltage values are with respect to GND.
(3) Absolute negative voltage on these pins must not go below 0.5 V.
(4) Not more than one output should be shorted at a time, and duration of the short circuit should not exceed 1 ms.
(5) The thermal data is based on using 1-oz copper trace with JEDEC 51-5 test board for PWP.
(6) The data is based on ambient temperature of 25°C max.
(7) The Human Body Model is a 100-pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5-kW resistor into each pin.

The power supply provides regulated 5-V output to power the system microcontroller and drive eight low-side switches. The brown-out detection output (BO_OUTZ) warns the TPIC9202 system if there is a temporary drop in the supply voltage, so the system can prevent potentially hazardous situations.

A serial communications interface controls the eight low-side outputs; each output has an internal snubber circuit to absorb the inductive load at turn OFF. Alternatively, the TPIC9202 system can use a fly-back diode to VIN to help recirculate the energy in an inductive load at turn OFF.
