FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Features
The L9848 IC is a monolithic integrated circuit, which provides high flexibility for driving medium loads. 8 outputs, whereof 6 (Output1-6) can be used as either internal low or high side drives in any combination and 2 are
dedicated low side outputs (Output7-8). The use of this device reduces the I/O port requirements of the microprocessor by having serially controlled outputs via a SPI interface. In addition, Output5-6 are capable of being
PWMed via an external pin (Input5-6). The 8bit SPI input is used to command the 8 output drivers either ON or
OFF and additional to indicate latched fault conditions that may have occurred. Multiple L9848s may be daisychained with one additional microprocessor I/O port (CSn) for each device. The implemented self-configuration
allows the user to connect a high or low side load to any of these outputs and the L9848 will drive them correctly

L9848
as well as provide proper fault mode operation with no other needed inputs. This device switch variable load
currents within the operation temperature range. The outputs are MOSFET drivers to minimize Vdd current requirements. There's no VBatt input pin however VBatt is connected to the drains of high side outputs. The L9848
meets all required specifications when the supply voltage applied to the drain(s) of the outputs is within the operating range. For supply voltages applied to the drain(s) down to 6.8V the part is functional however, it does
not meet all parametric limits, i.e. output on-state voltages.
Outputs - Common Characteristics
The 6 self-configuring outputs (Outputs1-6) are able to drive either incandescent lamps, inductive loads (nonPWMed), or resistive loads biased to VBatt. These outputs are enabled and disabled via the SPI bus. Each of
these outputs is short circuit current limited and has an over-temperature protection as described under "Functional Description - Thermal Shutdown". When a high side configured output is commanded OFF after having
been commanded ON, the source voltage will go to the lesser negative of (VBatt-45V). This is due to the design
of the circuitry and the transconductance of the MOSFET. When a low side configured output is commanded
OFF after having been commanded ON, the output voltage will rise to the internal zener clamp voltage (40Vdc
minimum) due to the flyback of the inductive load.
– Output 1-4
These four outputs can be used as either high or low side drives. Integrated current source pull-ups
and pull-downs are employed to correctly latch "open load" fault data. Both of these current sources
are needed to detect an open load state since these outputs self configure as either high or low side
drives.
Drain Connections of Output1-4 (DRN1-4)
These pins are connected to the drains of the n-channel MOSFET transistors.
Source Connections of Output1-4 (SRC1-4)
These pins are connected to the sources of the n-channel MOSFET transistors.
– Output 5-6
These two self-configuring outputs can be used to drive either high or low side loads. In addition to
be controlled by the SPI BUS these outputs can also be enabled and disabled via IN5 and IN6 inputs.
IN5 and IN6 inputs are logically ORed with the SPI commands to allow either the IN5-6 inputs or the
SPI commands to activate these outputs. The use of IN5-6 for PWM control on these outputs should
only be done with non-inductive loads. Integrated current source pull-ups and pull-downs are employed to correctly latch "open load" fault data. Both of these current sources are needed to detect
an open since these outputs self configure as either high or low side drives
Drain connections of Output5-6 (DRN5-6)
These pins are connected to the drains of the n-channel MOSFET transistors.
Source connections of Output5-6 (SRC5-6)
These pins are connected to the sources of the n-channel MOSFET transistors.
– Output7-8
These two outputs (DRN7-8) are dedicated low side drives. Integrated current source pull down are
required to correctly latch "open load" fault data.
Main Power Input (VDD)
The VDD input is the primary power source of the L9848. This supply is used as the power source for all of its
8/18
L9848
logic circuitry and other miscellaneous functions. Notice that if the L9848 is interfaced to a processor operating
with a lower voltage (e.g. 3.0 VDC), the microprocessor inputs connected to the L9848 will swing from 0 to 5.0
VDC.
Discrete Inputs (IN5-6)
These inputs allow Output5-6 to be enabled via this external pin without the use of the SPI. A logic "1" on these
inputs enables the corresponding output no matter what the status of the SPI command register. A logic "0" on
these inputs disables the corresponding output if the SPI command register is not commanding this output on.
These pins can be left "open" if the outputs are controlled only via the SPI (internally pulled down). These inputs
are ideally suited for non-inductive loads that are pulse width modulated (PWMed). This allows PWM control
without the use of the SPI. The TTL level compatible input voltages allow proper operation with microprocessors
that are using 5.0V or 3.0V for their Vdd supply.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
A standard serial peripheral interface, consisting of Serial Clock (SCLK), Data Out (DO), Data In (DI), and Chip
Select (CS) is implemented to allow access to the internal registers of the L9848. All outputs are controlled via
the SPI.The input pins CS, SCLK, and DI have TTL level compatible input voltages allowing proper operation
from microprocessors that are using 5.0V or 3.0V for their VDD supply. The design of the L9848 allows a "daisychaining" of multiple L9848's to further reduce the need for controller pins.
– Serial Data Output (DO)
This output pin is in a tri-state condition when CS is a logic "0" (LOW). When CS is a logic "1" (HIGH),
this pin always transmits 8bits of data from the fault register to the digital controller. After the first 8bits
data are transmitted the DO output then sequentially transmits the digital data that was just received
(8 SCLK cycles earlier) on the DI pin. The DO output continues to transmit the 8 SCLK delayed bit
data from the DI input until CS eventually transitions from a logic "1" to a logic "0". DO data changes
state 10 ns or later, after the falling edge of SCLK. By definition, the MSB (Table 3) is the first bit of
the byte transmitted on DO and the LSB is the last bit of the byte transmitted on DO, once CS transitions from a logic "0" to a logic "1".
– Serial Data Input (DI)
This input takes data from the digital controller while CS is HIGH. The L9848 accepts an 8bit data
stream to command the outputs ON or OFF. By definition, the MSB (Table 1) is the first bit of each
byte received on DI and the LSB is the last bit of each byte received on DI, once CS transitions from
a logic "0" to a logic "1".
– Chip Select (CS)
This is the chip select input pin. On the rising edge of CS, the DO pin switches from tri-state to activeout mode. While CS is high, register data is shifted in and shifted out by the DI and DO pin, respectively, on each subsequent SCLK. On the falling edge of CS, the DO pin switches back to tri-state
mode and the fault register will be "Cleared" if a valid DI byte was received.
A valid DI byte is defined as such:
1st
A multiple of 8 bits was received
2nd
SCLK was low when CS went low
3rd
Current SPI cycle started when SCLK was low
The fault data is not cleared unless all of the 3 previous conditions have been met. A SCLK transition
must be seen before CS is interpreted as active. To allow sufficient time to reload the fault registers,
the CS pin must remain low for a minimum of 1µs prior to going high again, before it starts shifting
9/18
L9848
the fault data bits out on the DO pin. CS has an integrated glitch filter for spurious pulses of 50ns or
shorter (i.e. no fault data and Outputs1-8 enable status will be altered). For open circuit condition the
CS is internally pulled down to GND.
– Serial Clock (SCLK)
This is the clock signal input for synchronization of serial data transfer. DI data is shifted into the DI
input on the rising edge of SCLK and DO data changes on the falling edge of SCLK.
SPI DI Input Command Register
An input byte (8bits) is routed to the Command Register. The content of this Command Register is given in Table
1 and Table 2. Additional DI data will continue to be wrapped around to the DO pin. If CS will go low before a
complete reception of the current byte, this just transmitted byte will be ignored

Fault Operation
The fault diagnostic capability consists of one internal 8bit shift register. Open or shorted load detection is provided by comparing the source or drain voltage with the VDD voltage. When an output connected as either a
low side device or a high side device is commanded OFF, an open load can be detected. When an output connected as either a low side device or a high side device is commanded ON a shorted load can be detected. The
fault bit is "set" for each channel if a short, open, or over-temperature condition occurs for Outputs1-8. The content of this Fault Register is given in Table 3. The output load status of each individual channel is defined in
Table 4. Open and shorts are subsequently re-latched provided they meet the minimum duration criterion and
thermal faults will be re-latched provided they meet the duration criterion after CS goes "LOW", if these fault
conditions are still present. The fault register is capable of detecting and latching multiple fault conditions
(among the 8 outputs) that have occurred between clearing of the fault flags.
All of the faults will be cleared on the falling edge of Chip Select (CS).

L9848
– Initial Fault Register SPI Cycle
After initial application of VDD to the L9848, the fault register is "Cleared" by the POR circuitry during
the initial SPI cycle, and all subsequent cycles, valid fault data will be clocked out of DO (fault bits).
The bits that are "Set" indicate which particular output(s) have a fault condition.
– Incandescent Lamp Outputs
Software filtering may be needed to ignore fault signals due to the long turn on delay associated with
lamp loads. For example, the lamp load channel gets enabled during one SPI cycle. Approximately
20ms-100ms later, a SPI cycle is required to read the correct fault latch data, which will be cleared
after the falling edge of CS of that SPI cycle.
Configuration for Output1-6
The drain and source pins for each output must be connected in one of the two following configurations (see
Figure 6a and Figure 6b).
– Low Side Drivers
When any combination of Output1-6 are connected in a low side drive configuration the source of the
applicable output (SRC1-6) has to be connected to ground. The drain of the applicable output (DRN16) has to be connected to the low side of the load.
– High Side Drivers
When any combination of Output1-6 are connected in a high side drive configuration the drain of the
applicable output (DRN1-6) has to be connected to VBatt. The source of the applicable output
(SRC1-6) has to be connected to the high side of the load.
DRN1-6 Susceptibility to Negative Voltage Transients
For any output(s) connected and used for a high side drive a fast negative transient slew rate does not inadvertently issue a POR (power on reset) or cause parasitic latching to occur. Nevertheless under some conditions it
may be necessary to have a ceramic chip capacitor of 10nF to 100nF connected from drain to GND to aid in
preventing the occurance of a problem due to very fast negative transient(s) on the drain(s) of the device.
Thermal Shutdown
Each of the 8 outputs have independent thermal protection circuitry that disables each output driver once the
local n-channel MOSFET device temperature reaches the overtemperature shutdown limit. Due to the hysteresis of the enable and disable temperature levels the faulted channel will periodically turn off and on until the fault
condition is cleared, the ambient temperature is decreased sufficiently or the output is commanded OFF.
Once any individual channel goes into thermal shutdown, a logic "1" is latched into the Fault Register if it meets
the thermal fault filter (Note: does NOT go through the open/short fault filter).
Note:
Due to the design of the L9848 each output's thermal limit "may not" be truly independent to the extent that if one output is shorted,
it may impact the operation of other outputs (due to lateral heating in the die). The user may be required to monitor the fault bits
periodically. If a fault bit is "Set" for the last enabled output, and subsequently, fault bits for other enabled outputs start to be "Set",
the user will send two SPI write cycles within 100ms of each other. The first SPI write cycle will "Clear" the fault latches. If multiple
faults are indicated after the second SPI write cycle, these faults are most likely thermal faults. The user will then disable this output
that was most recently enabled. The fault register should be subsequently interrogated to verify proper operations of the other enabled output channels.
Charge Pump Usage
The L9848 uses a separate charge pump and oscillator for each of the 6 configurable output channels to provide
low RDSON values when connected in a high side configuration These oscillators are operating in a non-synchronous mode of operation. The frequency range of these charge pumps is designed to be above the AM radio

band and below 8.0MHz so that harmonics do not get within the FM radio band.
Waveshaping
Both the turn on and the turn off slew rates on all outputs (OUTPUT1-8) are limited to reduce conducted EMC
energy in the vehicle's wiring harness.
The characteristic of the turn-on and turn-off voltage is linear, with no discontinuities, during the output driver
state transition.
POR Register Initialization
L9848 wakes up if the VDD supply increases from 0 to 5VDC in 0.3ms to 3ms.
The L9848 has a POR circuit, which monitors the VDD voltage. When the VDD voltage reaches roughly
4.1VDC, and remains above this trip level for minimum 20µs, the Command and Fault Registers are "cleared".
Before VDD reaches this trip level, all eight outputs are guaranteed in OFF-state.
After a valid POR has occurred and the VDD voltage falls below the valid high level for a required amount of
time, the L9848 is powered down in a fully controlled manner. No outputs will glitch "ON" and no erroneous fault
data is allowed on the DO output.
Abnormal Voltage Conditions
The L9848 survives the following abnormal voltage conditions.
– Reverse Battery
applied either directly, or through a load to the drain pins (DRN1-6) with the source pins (SRC1-6)
connected to a load or to ground (cold lamp, solenoid, etc).
– Maximum Negative Transients
that force the drains or sources of the outputs going -20V below the module ground.
– Ground Offsets
with a maximum of -0.5V to 1.0V between the L9848 ground and any load directly connected to a
chassis ground in the case of high side loads. If driving a low side load there will not be an offset between the L9848 ground and the load ground. In addition there may be a maximum ground difference
between the L9848 ground and any other module interfacing with it of -0.5V to 1.0V or ±VAC (10200Hz).
– Loss of Ground Operation
Any outputs are protected to become active in case of lost ground of the L9848 module with the supply is still applied.
