ADVANCE INFORMATION
During demagnetization of inductive loads, magnetic energy is dissipated in the DRV81004-Q1. Equation 1 shows how to calculate the energy for low-side switches:
The maximum energy, which is converted into heat, is limited by the thermal design of the component. The EAR value provided in Section 5.1 assumes that all channels can dissipate the same energy when the inductances connected to the outputs are demagnetized at the same time.
