16-Output Switch with SPI
and PWM Control
33999
The 33999 is a 16-output low-side switch with a 24-bit serial input
control. It is designed for a variety of applications including inductive,
incandescent, and LED loads. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
provides both input control and diagnostic readout. Eight parallel inputs
are also provided for direct Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control of
eight dedicated outputs. Additionally, an output-programmable PWM
input provides PWM of any combination of outputs. A dedicated reset
input provides the ability to clear all internal registers and turn all
outputs off.
The 33999 directly interfaces with microcontrollers and is
compatible with both 3.3 V and 5.0 V CMOS logic levels. The 33999,
in effect, serves as a bus expander and buffer with fault management
features that reduces the MCU’s fault management burden. This
device is powered by SMARTMOS technology.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The 33999 is designed and developed for automotive and
industrial applications. It is a 16-output power switch having
24-bit serial control. The 33999 incorporates SMARTMOS
technology having CMOS logic, bipolar / MOS analog
circuitry, and independent DMOS power output transistors.
Many benefits are realized as a direct result of using this
mixed technology. Figure 2, page 3, illustrates a simplified
internal block diagram of the 33999.
FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
CHIP SELECT (CS)
The system MCU selects which 33999 is to be
communicated with through the use of the Chip Select (CS)
pin. When the CS pin is in a logic low state, data can be
transferred from the MCU to the 33999 and vise versa.
Clocked-in data from the MCU is transferred from the 33999
Shift register and latched into the power outputs on the rising
edge of the CS signal. On the falling edge of the CS signal,
output fault status information is transferred from the Power
Outputs Status register into the device’s SO Shift register.
The SO pin output driver is enabled when CS is low, allowing
information to be transferred from the 33999 to the MCU. To
avoid any spurious data, it is essential the high-to-low
transition of the CS signal occur only when SCLK is in a logic
low state.
SYSTEM CLOCK (SCLK)
The System Clock (SCLK) pin clocks the Internal Shift
register of the 33999. The Serial Input (SI) pin accepts data
into the Input Shift register on the falling edge of the SCLK
signal while the Serial Output (SO) pin shifts data information
out of the Shift register on the rising edge of the SCLK signal.
False clocking of the Shift register must be avoided, ensuring
validity of data. It is essential the SCLK pin be in a logic low
state whenever the Chip Select (CS) pin makes any
transition. For this reason, it is recommended, though not
necessary, that the SCLK pin is commanded to a low logic
state as long as the device is not accessed (CS in logic high
state). When the CS is in a logic high state, any signal at the
SCLK and SI pins is ignored and the SO is tri-stated (high
impedance).
SERIAL INPUT (SI)
The Serial Input (SI) pin is used to enter one of seven
serial instructions into the 33999. SI SPI bits are latched into
the Input Shift register on each falling edge of SCLK. The
Shift register is full after 24 bits of information are entered.
The 33999 operates on the command word on the rising edge
of CS. To preserve data integrity, exercise care to not
transition SI as the SCLK transitions from high-to-low state
(see Figure 4, page 9).
SERIAL OUTPUT (SO)
The Serial Output (SO) pin transfers fault status data from
the 33999 to the MCU. The SO pin remains tri-state until the
CS pin transitions to a logic low state. All faults on the 33999
are reported to the MCU as logic [1]. Conversely, normal
operating outputs with nonfaulted loads are reported as
logic [0]. On the falling edge of the CS signal, output fault
status information is transferred from the Power Outputs
Status register into the device’s SO Shift register. The first
eight positive transitions of SCLK will provide Any Fault (bit
23), Overvoltage Fault (bit 22), followed by six logic [0]s
(bits 21 to 16). The next 16 successive positive clock
provides fault status for output 15 to output 0. The SI / SO
shifting of data follows a first-in, first-out protocol with both
input and output words transferring the Most Significant Bit
(MSB) first.
SO OUTPUT DRIVER POWER SUPPLY (SOPWR)
The SOPWR pin is used to supply power to the 33999 SO
output driver and Power-ON Reset (POR) circuit. To achieve
low standby current on VPWR supply, power must be
removed from the SOPWR pin. The 33999 will be in reset
with all drivers OFF when SOPWR is below 2.5 V. The 33999
does not detect overvoltage on the SOPWR supply pin.
OUTPUT/INPUT (OUT0 – OUT15)
These pins are low-side output switches controlling the
load.
RESET (RST)
The Reset (RST) pin is the active low reset input pin used
to turn OFF all outputs, thereby clearing all internal registers.
BATTERY INPUT (VPWR)
The VPWR pin is used as the input power source for the
33999. The voltage on VPWR is monitored for overvoltage
protection and shutdown. An overvoltage condition (> 50 s)
on the VPWR pin causes the 33999 to shut down all outputs
until the overvoltage condition is removed. Upon return to
normal input voltage, the outputs respond as programmed by
the overvoltage bit in the Global Shutdown/Retry Control
register. The overvoltage threshold on the VPWR pin is
specified as 27.5 V to 35 V with 1.4 V typical hysteresis.
Following an overvoltage shutdown of output drivers, the
Overvoltage Fault and the Any Fault bits in the SO bit stream
will be logic [1].

MCU INTERFACE DESCRIPTION
In operation the 33999 functions as a 16-output serial
switch serving as a microcontroller unit (MCU) bus expander
and buffer with fault management and fault reporting
features. In doing so, the device directly relieves the MCU of
the fault management functions.
The 33999 directly interfaces to an MCU, operating at
system clock serial frequencies up to 6.0 MHz using a Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) for control and diagnostic readout.
Figure 9 illustrates the basic SPI configuration between an
MCU and one 33999.

33999. Data from the MCU is clocked daisy chain through
each device while the Chip Select bit (CS) is commanded low
by the MCU. During each clock cycle, output status from the
daisy-chained 33999s is being transferred back to the MCU
via the Master In Slave Out (MISO) line. On rising edge of CS,
data stored in the input register is then transferred to the
output driver. Daisy chain control of the 33999 requires
24 bits per device.

Figure 9. 33999 SPI Interface with Microcontroller
All inputs are compatible with 3.3 V/ 5.0 V CMOS logic
levels and incorporate positive logic. An input programmed to
a logic low state (< 0.8 V) has the corresponding output OFF.
Conversely, an input programmed to a logic high state
(> 2.2 V) has the output being controlled ON. Diagnostics is
treated in a similar manner—outputs with a fault will feed
back (via SO) to the microcontroller a logic [1], while normal
operating outputs will provide a logic [0].
The 33999 may be controlled and provide diagnostics
using a daisy chain configuration or in parallel mode.

POWER CONSUMPTION
SPI INTEGRITY CHECK
The 33999 is designed with one Sleep mode and one
Operational mode. In Sleep mode (SOPWR  2.0 V), the
current consumed by the VPWR pin is less than 50 A.To
place the 33999 in Sleep mode, turn all outputs OFF and
remove power from the SOPWR pin. During normal
operation, 500 A is drawn from the SOPWR supply and
8.0 mA from the VPWR supply.
Checking the integrity of the SPI communication is
recommended upon initial power-up of the SOPWR pin. After
initial system startup or reset, the MCU writes one 48-bit
pattern to the 33999.
The first 24 bits read by the MCU is the fault status of the
outputs, while the second 24 bits is the first bit pattern sent.
By the MCU receiving the same bit pattern it sent, bus
integrity is confirmed. Please note the second 24 bits the
MCU sends to the 33999 are the command bits to program
registers or activate outputs on the rising edge of CS.
PARALLELING OF OUTPUTS
Using MOSFETs as output switches allows the connection
of any combination of outputs together. The RDS(ON) of
MOSFETs has an inherent positive temperature coefficient
providing balanced current sharing between outputs without
destructive operation. This mode of operation may be
desirable in the event the application requires lower power
dissipation or the added capability of switching higher
currents. Performance of parallel operation results in a
corresponding decrease in RDS(ON), while the Output Current
Limit increases correspondingly. Output OFF Open Load
Detect current may increase based on how the Output OFF
Open Load Detect is programmed. Paralleling outputs from
two or more different IC devices is possible but not
recommended.
Care must be taken when paralleling outputs for inductive
loads. The Output Voltage Clamp of the output drivers may
not match. One MOSFET output must be capable of the
inductive energy from the load turn OFF.
OUTPUT OFF OPEN LOAD FAULT
An Output OFF Open Load Fault is the detection and
reporting of an open load when the corresponding output is
disabled (input bit programmed to a logic low state). The
Output OFF Open Load Fault is detected by comparing the
drain-to-source voltage of the specific MOSFET output to an
internally generated reference. Each output has one
dedicated comparator for this purpose.
Each 33999 output has an internal 50 A pulldown current
source. The pulldown current is disabled on power-up and
must be enabled for Open Load Detect to function. Once
enabled, the 33999 will only shut down the pulldown current
in Sleep mode or when disabled via SPI.
During output switching, especially with capacitive loads,
a false Output OFF Open Load Fault may be triggered. To
prevent this false fault from being reported, an internal fault

OPERATIONAL MODES
filter of 100 µs to 450 µs is incorporated. The duration for
which a false fault may be reported is a function of the load
impedance, RDS(ON), COUT of the MOSFET, as well as the
supply voltage, VPWR. The rising edge of CS triggers the builtin fault delay timer. The timer must time out before the fault
comparator is enabled to detect a faulted threshold. Once the
condition causing the Open Load Fault is removed, the
device resumes normal operation. The Open Load Fault,
however, will be latched in the output SO Response register
for the MCU to read.
SHORTED LOAD FAULT
A shorted load (overcurrent) fault can be caused by any
output being shorted directly to supply, or by an output
experiencing a current greater than the current limit.
Three safety circuits progressively in operation during load
short conditions afford system protection:
1. The device’s output current is monitored in an analog
fashion using a SENSEFET approach and is current
limited.
2. With the output in current limit, the drain-to-source
voltage increases. By setting the SFPD bit to 0, the
output shuts down on VDS > 2.7 V typical after 450 s.
3. The output thermal limit of the device is sensed and,
when attained, causes only the specific faulted output
to shut down. The device remains OFF until cooled.
The device then operates as programmed by the
shutdown / retry bit. The cycle continues until the fault is
removed or the command bit instructs the output OFF.
All three protection schemes set the Fault Status bit (bit 23
in the SO Response register) to logic [1].
UNDERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
An undervoltage SOPWR condition results in the global
shutdown of all outputs and reset of all control registers. The
undervoltage threshold is between 2.0 V and 3.0 V.
An undervoltage condition at the VPWR pin results in an
output shutdown and reset. The undervoltage threshold is
between 3.2 V and 3.5 V. When VPWR is between 5.0 V and
3.5 V, the output may operate per the command word and the
status is reported on SO pin, though this is not guaranteed.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE CLAMP
each output. Each clamp independently limits the drain-tosource voltage to 50 V. The total energy clamped (EJ) can be
calculated by multiplying the current area under the current
curve (IA) times the clamp voltage (VCL) (see Figure 12).
Characterization of the output clamps, using a single pulse
non-repetitive method at 0.3 A, indicates the maximum
energy to be 50 mJ at 150C junction temperature per output.

REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION
The 33999 device requires external reverse battery
protection on the VPWR pin.
All outputs consist of a power MOSFET with an integral
substrate diode. During reverse battery condition, current will
flow through the load via the substrate diode. Under this
circumstance relays may energize and lamps will turn on. If
load reverse battery protection is desired, a diode must be
placed in series with the load.
OVERTEMPERATURE FAULT
Overtemperature Detect circuits are specifically
incorporated for each individual output. The shutdown
following an overtemperature condition depends on the
control bit set in the Retry / Shutdown Control register. Each
independent output shuts down at 155C to 180C. When an
output shuts down due to an Overtemperature Fault, no other
outputs are affected. The MCU recognizes the fault by a
logic [1] in the Fault Status bit (bit 23 in the SO Response
register). After the 33999 has cooled below the switch point
temperature and 10C hysteresis, the output functions as
defined by the retry / shutdown bit 17 in the Global Shutdown /
Retry Control register.
Each output of the 33999 incorporates an internal voltage
clamp to provide fast turn-OFF and transient protection of

INTRODUCTION
The 33999 message set consists of seven messages as
shown in Table 6. Bits 23 through 18 determine the specific
command and bits 15 through 0 determine how a specific
output will operate. The 33999 operates on the command
word on the rising edge of CS.
Note Upon Power-ON Reset all bits are defined as shown
in Table 6.
The 33999 provides flexible control of 16 low-side driver
outputs. The device allows PWM and ON /OFF control
through the use of several input command words. This

ON /OFF CONTROL REGISTER
To program the 16 outputs of the 33999 ON or OFF, a 24bit serial stream of data is entered into the SI pin. The first 8
bits of the control word are used to identify the on / off
command and the remaining 16 bits are used to turn ON or
OFF the specific output driver.
OPEN LOAD CURRENT ENABLE CONTROL
REGISTER
The Open Load Enable Control register is provided to
enable or disable the 50 A open load detect pulldown
current. This feature allows the device to be used in LED
applications. Power-ON Reset (POR) or the RST pin or the
RESET command disables the 50 A pulldown current. No
open load fault will be reported with the pulldown current
disabled. For open load to be active, the user must program
the Open Load Current Enable Control register with logic [1].
GLOBAL SHUTDOWN/RETRY CONTROL
REGISTER
The Global Shutdown/Retry Control register allows the
user to select the global fault strategy for the outputs. The
Overvoltage control bit (bit 16) sets the operation of the
outputs when returning from overvoltage. Setting the
Overvoltage bit to logic [0] will force all outputs to remain OFF

when VPWR returns to normal level. Setting the Overvoltage
bit to logic [1] will command outputs to resume their previous
state when VPWR returns to normal level. Bit 17 is the global
thermal bit. When bit 17 is set to logic [0], all outputs will shut
down when thermal limit is reached and remain off even after
cooled. With bit 17 set to logic [1], all outputs will shut down
when thermal limit is reached and will retry when cooled.
SHORT FAULT PROTECT DISABLE (SFPD)
CONTROL REGISTER
All outputs contain a current limit and thermal shutdown
with programmable retry. The SFPD control bits are used for
fast shutdown of the output when an overcurrent condition is
detected but thermal shutdown has not been achieved.
The SFPD Control register allows selection of specific
outputs for incandescent lamp loads and specific outputs for
inductive loads. By programming the specific SFPD bit as
logic [1], output will rely on Overtemperature Shutdown only.
Programming the specific SFPD bit as logic [0] will shut down
the output after 100 s to 450 s during turn on into short
circuit. The decision for shutdown is based on output drainto-source voltage (VDS ) > 2.7 V. This feature is designed to
provide protection to loads that experience more than
expected currents and require fast shutdown. The 33999 is
designed to operate in both modes with full device protection.

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
PWM ENABLE REGISTER
SERIAL OUTPUT (SO) RESPONSE REGISTER
The PWM Enable register determines the outputs that are
PWM controlled. The first 8 bits of the 24 bit SPI message
word are used to identify the PWM enable command, and the
remaining 16 bits are used to enable or disable the PWM of
the output drivers.
A logic [1] in the PWM Enable register allows the user to
OR / AND the PWM input with SPI Control bit and disables the
specific parallel control input (PWM0, PWM1, PWM6, PWM7,
PWM8, PWM9, PWM14, and PWM15).
A logic [0] in the PWM Enable register will disable the
PWM to a specific output and allow the user to use the
parallel PWM control inputs (PWM0, PWM1, PWM6, PWM7,
PWM8, PWM9, PWM14, and PWM15) and the SPI ON /OFF
Control bits. Power-ON Reset (POR) or the RST pin or the
RESET command will set the PWM enable register to
logic[0].
Fault reporting is accomplished through the SPI interface.
All logic [1]s received by the MCU via the SO pin indicate
fault. All logic [0]s received by the MCU via the SO pin
indicate no fault. All fault bits are cleared on the positive edge
of CS. SO bits 15 to 0 represent the fault status of outputs 15
to 0. SO bits 21 to 16 will always return logic [0]. Bit 22
provides overvoltage condition status, and bit 23 is set when
any fault is present in the IC. The timing between two write
words must be greater than 450 s to allow adequate time to
sense and report the proper fault status.
RESET COMMAND
The RESET command turns all outputs OFF and sets all
internal registers to their Power-ON Reset state (refer to
Table 6).
FAULT OPERATION
AND /OR Control Register
The AND /OR Control register describes the condition by
which the PWM pin controls the output driver. A logic [0] in
the AND / OR Control register will AND the PWM pin with the
control bit in the SPI Control register. Likewise, a logic [1] in
the AND / OR Control register will OR the PWM pin with the
control bit in the ON/OFF Control register (see Figure 13).
On/Off Control Bit
On/Off Control Bit
On each SPI communication, a 24-bit command word is
sent to the 33999 and a 24-bit fault word is received from the
33999.
The Most Significant Bit (MSB) is sent and received first.
