Switching Channels in Parallel
In case of appearance of a short circuit with connected in parallel to drive a single load, it may happen that the
two channels switch OFF asynchronously, therefore bringing an additional thermal stress to the channel that
switches OFF last. For this reason it is not recommended to use the device with channels in parallel.
7.3.3
Cross Current robustness with H-Bridge configuration
When BTS7012-2EPA is used as high-side switch e.g. in a bridge configuration (therefore paired with a low-side
switch as shown in Figure 21), the maximum slew rate applied to the output by the low-side switch must be
lower than | dVOUT / dt |.
