SNOSDJ3 May 2024 TLV1812-EP
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The TLV1812-EP features a push-pull output stage capable of both sinking and sourcing current. This allows driving loads such as LED's and MOSFET gates, as well as eliminating the need for a power-wasting external pull-up resistor. The push-pull output must never be connected to another output.
Directly shorting the output to the opposite supply rail (V+ when output "low" or V- when output "High") can result in thermal runaway and eventual device destruction at high (>12V) supply voltages. If output shorts are possible, a series current limiting resistor is recommended to limit the power dissipation.
Unused push-pull outputs mustbe left floating, and never tied to a supply, ground, or another output.
