ADVANCE INFORMATION
During demagnetization of inductive loads, magnetic energy is dissipated in the DRV81620-Q1. Equation 2 and Equation 3 can be used for high-side switches (auto-configurable switches can use all equations, depending on the load position):
The maximum energy, which is converted into heat, is limited by the thermal design of the component. The EAR value provided in Section 6.5 assumes that all channels can dissipate the same energy when the inductances connected to the outputs are demagnetized at the same time.
