The main difference between the two devices is in the input types:
a) TLE7181EM uses the PWM/DIR interface and DRVDIS to disable all 4 MOSFETs: only two pins are needed and shoot-through event cannot happen by design.

b) on the other hand, TLE7182EM provides 4 independent control inputs to control the MOSFETs individually: the high-side MOSFET inputs are inverted to eventually simplify the connection wiring. Shoot-through events can be avoided if the short-circuit protection is activated by generating a minimum dead time by SCDL pin. TLE7182 offers the possibility to drive 4 low-side MOSFETs as well.

LITIX™ Basic and Basic+ devices are reverse polarity protected:
* LITIX™ Basic down to -16V
* LITIX™ Basic+ down to -18V
This means that if there is a *static pulse* higher than -18V and no external reverse polarity diode, the device could be destroyed.
For *transient* pulses a TVS diode, reverse polarity diode and ceramic capacitor are recommended, unless the surge pulses are filtered using system-level measures.
