BTS 712 N1
Timing diagrams
Timing diagrams are shown for chip 1 (channel 1/2). For chip 2 (channel 3/4) the diagrams
are valid too. The channels 1 and 2, respectively 3 and 4, are symmetric and consequently
the diagrams are valid for each channel as well as for permuted channels

Heating up of the chip may require several milliseconds, depending
on external conditions (t vs. T see page 10)
The initial peak current should be limited by the lamp and not by
the initial short circuit current IL(SCp) = 7.5 A typ. of the device.
