TPIC8101: unused pins

Part Number: TPIC8101


Tool/software:

Hi team,

I only use single channel of TPIC8101. In this case could you please advise how should I connect the unused input pins?

For example, if I only use CH1, then how should I connect CH2FB and CH2P and CH2N pins?

regards,

  • Shinji,

    Inputs pins should not be left floating on any device since this could result with unpredictable behavior on the amplifier and possibly result in increased supply current or leakage.  

    I think what I might do here is to ground CH2P, and then short CH2N to CH2FB.  This should configure the input amplifier as a unity buffer with 0V at the output. 

    Thanks,

    Scott
