Protection
The LMD18400 is a fully protected quad high side
driver. It contains four common-drain DMOS N-

• Two Direct-output Error Flags
built in to provide extensive diagnostic information.
This information includes switch status readback,
output load fault conditions and thermal and
overvoltage shutdown status. There are also two
direct-output error flags to provide an immediate
indication of a general system fault and an indication
of excessive operating temperature.
The LMD18400 is packaged in a special power
dissipating leadframe that reduces the junction to
case thermal resistance to approximately 20°C/W.
