TQFP100 exposed pad package
Description
The L9390 is a twelve output low side valve driver
designed for use in an ABS/ESP vehicle system.
All outputs are PWM configurable, while six out of
twelve are current regulated. Each of the twelve
outputs is open drain configured and has a built-in
35V clamp. Eight of the twelve have integrated
active freewheeling diodes for active rectification
of the PWM controlled load.
In order to minimize electromagnetic emissions
during load actuation, the possibility to control
output slopes is provided.
Two separate communication interfaces are
present: the SPI port is primarily designated to
provide diagnostics and secondary control. The
serial High End Timer Interface (HET) provides
the primary output control functions from on/off
switching to current level control commands.
Diagnostic includes over current protection, under
current detection, open load detection, loss of
ground detection, loss of freewheeling diode, and
over temperature detection, output integrity
check, SVDT, leakage current test, PWM integrity
and functionality check, valve resistance sense
check, loss of freewheeling diode detection and
more.
Power supply monitoring is also included.
