Pins
Function
VS
Positive supply voltage.
An internal circuit, monitoring the supply voltage, maintains the IC in off-state until VS
reaches 9V or when VS falls under 8.5V.
The diagnostic is availlable since VS = 5V.
7
VCP
Switch driver supply.
To minimize the output drop voltage, a supply of about 10V higher than VS is required. In
order to use the built-in charge pump, connect a filter capacitor from pin1 to pin.
The suggested value assures a fast transition and a low supply ripple even in worse
condition. Using the four channels contemporarily, values less than 68nF have to be
avoided.

GND
Ground and power dissipating pins.
These pins are connected to the bulk ground of the IC, so are useful for heat dissipation.

I1, I2, I3, I4
Control inputs.
Four independent control signals. The output is held off until the voltage at the
corresponding input pin reaches 1.35V and is turned off when the voltage at the pin goes
below 1.15V.
ON DELAY
Programmable ON duration in short circuit.
If an output is short circuited to ground or carryng a current exceeding the limit, the output
is turned-off and the diagnostic activation are delayed. This procedure allows the driving
of hard surge current loads.
The delay is programmed connecting a capacitor (50pF to 15nF) versus ground with the
internal time constant of 1.28µs/pF. The function can be disabled short circuiting this pin
to ground.
17
OFF DELAY
Programmable OFF duration in short circuit.
After the short circuit or overcurrent detection, the switch is held off before the next
attempt to switch on again.
The delay is programmed connecting a capacitor (50pF to 15nF) versus ground with the
internal time constant of 1.28µs/pF.
Short circuiting this pin to ground the OFF delay is 64 times the ON delay.

High side outputs.
Four independently controlled outputs with built-in current limitation.
Asyncronous reset input.
This active low input (with hysteresis), switch off all the outputs independently from the
input signal. By default it is biased low.
Diagnostic output.
This open drain output reports the IC working condition. The bad condition (as
undervoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature) turns the output low.
5
VC
Pump oscillator voltage.
At this pin is available the built-in circuitry to supply the switch driver at about 10V higher
than VS. To use this feature, connect a capacitor across pin 4 and pin 5.
The suggested value assures a fast transition and a minimum output drop voltage even in
worse condition. Using the four channels contemporarily, values less than 6.8nF have to
be avoided.

VP
Bootstrapped voltage.
At this pin is available the 11V oscillation for the charge pump, at a typical frequency of
200kHz.

DIP16+2+2. The thermal resistance is referred to the thermal path from the dissipating region on the top surface of the silicon
chip, to the points along the four central pins
of the package, at a distance of 1.5 mm
away from the stand-offs.
Rth j-amb1
If a dissipating surface, thick at least 35 µm,
and with a surface similar or bigger than the
one shown, is created making use of the
printed circuit.
Such heatsinking surface is considered on
the bottom side of an horizontal PCB (worst
case).
Rth j-amb2
If the power dissipating pins (the four central
ones), as well as the others, have a miniFigure 1: Printed Heatsink

mum thermal connection with the external
world (very thin strips only) so that the dissipation takes place through still air and
through the PCB itself.
It is the same situation of point above, without any heatsinking surface created on purpose on the board.

OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION (OVT)
If the chip temperature exceeds Θlim (measured in
a central position in the chip) the chip deactivates
itself.
The following actions are taken:
• all the output stages are switched off;
• the signal DIAG is activated (active low).
Normal operation is resumed as soon as (typically
after some seconds) the chip temperature monitored goes back below Θlim-ΘH.
The different thresholds with hysteretic behavior
assure that no intermittent conditions can be generated.
UNDERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (UV)
The supply voltage is expected to range from
9.5V to 35V, even if its reference value is considered to be 24V.
In this range the device operates correctly.
Below 9.5V the overall system has to be considered not reliable.
Consequently the supply voltage is monitored
continuously and a signal, called UV, is internally
generated and used.
The signal is “on” as long as the supply voltage
does not reach the upper internal threshold of the
Vs comparator Vsth. The UV signal disappears
above Vsth.
Once the UV signal has been removed, the supply voltage must decrease below the lower
threshold (i.e. Vsth-Vshys) before it is turned on
again.
The hysteresis Vshys is provided to prevent intermittent operation of the device at low supply voltages that may have a superimposed ripple
around the average value.
The UV signal switches off the outputs, but has
no effect on the creation of the reference voltages
for the internal comparators, nor on the continuous operation of the charge-pump circuits.
DIAGNOSTIC LOGIC
The situations that are monitored and signalled
with the DIAG output pin are:
• current limit (OVC) in action; there are 4 individual current limiting circuits, one per each
output; they limit the current that can be sunk
from each output, to a typical value of
800mA, equal for all of them;
• under voltage (UV);
• over temperature protection (OVT).
The diagnostic signal is transmitted via an open
drain output (for ease of wired-or connection of
several such signals) and a low level represents
the presence of at least one of the monitored conditions, mentioned above.
SHORT CIRCUIT OPERATION
In order to allow normal operation of the other inputs when one channel is in short cirtuit, an innovative non dissipative over current protection (patent pending) is implemented in the device.

In this way, the temperature of the device is kept
enough low to prevent the intervention of the thermal protection (in most of the cases) and so to
avoid the shut down of the whole device.
If a short circuit condition is present on one output, the current limiting circuit puts that channel in
linear mode — sourcing the ISC current (typically
800 mA) — for a time period (t ON) defined by an
external capacitor (CDON connected to the ON
DELAY pin).
After that period, if the short circuit condition is
still present the output is turned off for another
time period (tOFF ) defined by a second external
capacitor (CDOFF connected to the OFF DELAY
pin).
When also this period is expired:
• if the short circuit condition is still present the
output stays on for the tON period and the sequence starts again;
• if the short circuit condition is not present
anymore the normal operation of the output
is resumed.
The tON and tOFF periods are completely independent and can be set from 64 µs to 15 ms, using external capacitors ranging from 50 pF to
15 nF (1.28 µs/pF).
If the OFF DELAY pin is tied to ground (i.e. the
CDOFF capacitor is not used) the t OFF time period
is 64 times the tON period.
The diagnostic output (DIAG) is active when the
output is switched off, while it is not active when
the output is on (i.e. during the t ON period) even if
in that period a short circuit condition is present.
Typical waveforms for short circuit operation are
shown in figure 2.
If both the ON DELAY and the OFF DELAY pins
are grounded the non dissipative over current
protection is inhibited and the outputs in short circuit remain on until the thermal shutdown switch
off the whole device. In this case the short circuit
condition is not signalled by the DIAG pin (that
continues to signal the under voltage and over
temperature conditions).
PROGRAMMABLE DIAGNOSTIC DELAY
The current limiting circuits can be requested to
perform even in absence of a real fault condition,
for a short period, if the load is of capacitive nature or if it is a filament lamp (that exhibits a very
low resistance during the initial heating phase).
To avoid the forwarding of misleading — i.e. short
diagnostic pulses in coincidence with the intervention of the current limiting circuits when operating on capacitive loads — the activation of the
diagnostic can be delayed with respect to the intervention of one of the current limiting circuits.
This delay can be defined by an external capacitor (CDON) connected between the ON DELAY pin
and ground.
RESET INPUT
An external reset input R (pin 18) is provided to
simultaneously switch off all the outputs: this signal (active low) is in effect an asynchronous reset
that keeps the outputs low independently from the
input signals.
For example, this reset input can be used by the
CPU to keep the outputs low after a fault condition (signaled by the DIAG pin).
DEMAGNETIZATION OF INDUCTIVE LOADS
The device has four internal clamping diodes able
to demagnetize inductive loads.
The limitation is the peak power dissipation of the
packages, so — if the loads are big or if there is
the possibility to demagnetize more loads contemporarly — it is necessary to use external demagnetization circuits.
In figures 4 and 5 are shown two topologies for
the demagnetization versus ground and versus
VS.
The breakdown voltage of the external device
(VZ) must be chosen considering the minimum internal clamping voltage (Vcl) and the maximum
supply voltage (VS).
