TPIC7218-Q1: Datasheet Clarification

Part Number: TPIC7218-Q1

Hello Guys,

Looking at the datasheet of TPIC7218-Q1, figure 5-6 (page30) and figure 6-1 (page47), there seems to be a conflict on the connection of  WSLS and WSS. On page 30 you can see WSLS connected to the sensor and to WSS via a resistor, on page 47 the pins are swapped, WSS is connected to the sensor.

Which of the two connection is correct?

Thanks to confirm!

    Due to the US holidays our replies are delayed. Please expect a response by January 7th for this request.

  • Hi Art,

    After looking at the datasheet the figure 6-1 is the correct configuration. If you look at the detailed internal diagram in figure 5-7 it makes sense. The current flows from WSP to WSLS. WSS measures the voltage difference across the load resistor, which allows the device to measure the current.

    Edit: Figure would not load originally. 

    Thanks,
