FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General
The L9825 integrated circuit features 8 power low-side-driver outputs. Data is transmitted to the device using
the Serial Peripheral Interface, SPI protocol. Outputs 1 and 2 can be controlled parallel or serial. The power
outputs features voltage clamping function for flyback current recirculation and are protected against short circuit to Vbat.
The diagnostics recognizes two outputs fault conditions: 1) overcurrent for outputs 1 to 6 , overcurrent and thermal overload for outputs 7 and 8 in switch-on condition and 2) open load or short to GND in switch-off condition
for all outputs. The outputs status can be read out via the serial interface.
The chip internal reset is a OR function of the external nRes signal and internally generated undervoltage nRes
signal.
Output Stages Control
Each output is controlled with its latch and with common reset line, which enables all eight outputs. Outputs 1
and 2 can be controlled also by its NON1, NON2 inputs. It allows PWM control independently on the SPI. These
inputs features internal pull-up resistors to assure that the outputs are switched off, when the inputs are open.
The control data are transmitted via the SDI input, the timing of the serial interface is shown in Fig. 1.
The device is selected with low NCS signal and the input data are transferred into the 8 bit shift register at every
falling CLK edge. The rising edge of the NCS latches the new data from the shift register to the drivers.

The SPI register data are transferred to the output latch at rising NCS edge. The digital filter between NCS and
the output latch ensures that the data are transferred only after 8 CLK cycles or multiple of 8 CLK cycles since
the last NCS falling edge. The NCS changes only at low CLK.

Power outputs characteristics for flyback current, outputs short circuit protection and diagnostics
For output currents flowing into the circuit the output voltages are limited. The typical value of this voltage is 50V.
This function allows that the flyback current of a inductive load recirculates into the circuit; the flyback energy is
absorbed in the chip.
Output short circuit protection for outputs 1 to 6 (dedicated for loads without inrush current): when the output
current exceeds the short circuit threshold, the corresponding output overload latch is set and the output is
switched off immediately.
Output short circuit protection for outputs 7 and 8 (dedicated for loads with inrush current, as lamps): when the
load current would exceed the short circuit limit value, the corresponding output goes in a current regulation
mode. The output current is determined by the output characteristics and the output voltage depends on the
load resistance. In this mode high power is dissipated in the output transistor and its temperature increases rapidly. When the power transistor temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold, the overload latch is set
and the corresponding output switched off.
For the load diagnostic in output off condition each output features a diagnostic current sink, typ 60µA.
Diagnostics
The output voltage at all outputs is compared with the diagnostic threshold, typ 0.38 · VCC.
Outputs 1 and 2 features dedicated fault latches. The output status signal is filtered and latched. The fault latches are cleared during NCS low. The latch stores the status bit, so the first reading after the error occurred might
be wrong. The second reading is right.

Fault condition 1) "output short circuit to Vbat" : the output was switched on and the voltage at the output exceeded the diagnostics threshold due to overcurrent, the output overload latch was set and the output has been
switched off. The diagnostic bit is low.
7/11
L9825
Fault condition 2) "open load" or "output short circuit to GND" : the output is switched off and the voltage at the
output drops below the diagnostics threshold, because the load current is lower than the output diagnostic current source, the load is interrupted. The diagnostic bit is low.
For outputs 3 to 8 the output status signals, are fed directly to the SPI register.

The fault condition 1) "output short circuit to Vbat" :
For outputs 3 to 6 is the same as of outputs 1 and 2.
For outputs 7 and 8 : the output was switched on and the voltage at the output exceeds the diagnostics threshold. The output operates in current regulation mode or has been switched off due to thermal shutdown. The status bit is low.
Fault condition 2) "open load" or "output short circuit to GND" is the same as of outputs 1 and 2.
At the falling edge of NCS the output status data are transferred to the shift register. When NSC is low, data bits
contained in the shift register are transferred to SDO output et every rising CLK edge.

L9825
L9825
For higher current driving capability two outputs of the same kind can be paralleled. In this case the maximum
flyback energy should not exceed the limit value for single output.
The immunity of the circuit with respect to the transients at the output is verified during the characterization for
Test Pulses 1, 2 and 3a, 3b, DIN40839 or ISO7637 part 3. The Test Pulses are coupled to the outputs with
200pF series capacitor. All outputs withstand testpulses without damage.
The correct function of the circuit with the Test Pulses coupled to the outputs is verified during the characterization for the typical application with R = 16W to 200W, L= 0 to 600mH loads. The Test Pulses are coupled to the
outputs with 200pF series capacitor.
