3.1
Dual Power Supply: VS and VCC
The power supply voltage VS supplies the half bridges and the highside drivers. An internal charge-pump
is used to drive the highside switches. The logic supply voltage VCC (stabilized 5 V) is used for the logic
part and the SPI of the device.
Due to the independent logic supply voltage the control and status information will not be lost, if there are
temporary spikes or glitches on the power supply voltage. In case of power-on (VCC increases from undervoltage to VPOR OFF = 4.2 V) the circuit is initialized by an internally generated power-on-reset (POR). If
the voltage VCC decreases under the minimum threshold (VPOR ON = 3.4 V), the outputs are switched to
tristate (high impedance) and the status registers are cleared.
3.2
Standby-Mode
The standby mode of the L9950 is activated by clearing the bit 23 of the Input Data Register 0. All latched
data will be cleared and the inputs and outputs are switched to high impedance. In the standby mode the
current at VS (VCC) is less than 6 µA (50µA) for CSN = high (DO in tristate). By switching the VCC voltage
a very low quiescent current can be achieved. If bit 23 is set, the device will be switched to active mode.
3.3
Inductive Loads
Each half bridge is built by an internally connected highside and a lowside power DMOS transistor. Due
to the built-in reverse diodes of the output transistors, inductive loads can be driven at the outputs OUT1
to OUT6 without external free-wheeling diodes. The highside drivers OUT7 to OUT11 are intended to drive
resistive loads. Hence only a limited energy (E<1mJ) can be dissipated by the internal ESD-diodes in freewheeling condition. For inductive loads (L>100µH) an external free-wheeling diode connected to GND and
the corresponding output is needed.
3.4
Diagnostic Functions
All diagnostic functions (over/open load, power supply over-/undervoltage, temperature warning and thermal shutdown) are internally filtered and the condition has to be valid for at least 32 µs (open load: 1ms,
respectively) before the corresponding status bit in the status registers will be set. The filters are used to
improve the noise immunity of the device. Open load and temperature warning function are intended for
information purpose and will not change the state of the output drivers. On contrary, the overload and thermal shutdown condition will disable the corresponding driver (overload) or all drivers (thermal shutdown),
respectively. Without setting the over-current recovery bits in the Input Data Register, the microcontroller
has to clear the over-current status bits to reactivate the corresponding drivers.
3.5
Overvoltage and Undervoltage Detection
If the power supply voltage VS rises above the overvoltage threshold VSOV OFF (typical 21 V), the outputs
OUT1 to OUT11 are switched to high impedance state to protect the load. When the voltage VS drops
below the undervoltage threshold VSUV OFF (UV-switch-OFF voltage), the output stages are switched to
the high impedance to avoid the operation of the power devices without sufficient gate driving voltage (increased power dissipation). If the supply voltage VS recovers to normal operating voltage the outputs stages return to the programmed state (input register 0: bit 20=0).
If the undervoltage/overvoltage recovery disable bit is set, the automatic turn-on of the drivers is deactivated. The microcontroller needs to clear the status bits to reactivate the drivers. It is recommended to set
bit 20 to avoid a possible high current oscillation in case of a shorted output to GND and low battery voltage.
3.6
Temperature Warning and Thermal Shutdown
If junction temperature rises above Tj TW a temperature warning flag is set and is detectable via the SPI.
If junction temperature increases above the second threshold Tj SD, the thermal shutdown bit will be set
and power DMOS transistors of all output stages are switched off to protect the device. In order to reactivate the output stages the junction temperature must decrease below Tj SD - Tj SD HYS and the thermal
shutdown bit has to be cleared by the microcontroller.

L9950
3.7
Open Load Detection
The open load detection monitors the load current in each activated output stage. If the load current is
below the open load detection threshold for at least 1 ms (tdOL) the corresponding open load bit is set in
the status register. Due to mechanical/electrical inertia of typical loads a short activation of the outputs
(e.g. 3ms) can be used to test the open load status without changing the mechanical/electrical state of the
loads.
3.8
Over Load Detection
In case of an over-current condition a flag is set in the status register in the same way as open load detection. If the over-current signal is valid for at least tISC = 32 µs, the over-current flag is set and the corresponding driver is switched off to reduce the power dissipation and to protect the integrated circuit. If the
over-current recovery bit of the output is zero the microcontroller has to clear the status bits to reactivate
the corresponding driver.
3.9
Current monitor
The current monitor output sources a current image at the current monitor output which has a fixed ratio
(1/10000) of the instantaneous current of the selected highside driver. The bits 18 and 19 of the Input Data
Register 0 control which of the outputs OUT1, OUT4, OUT5, OUT6 and OUT11 will be multiplexed to the
current monitor output. The current monitor output allows a more precise analysis of the actual state of the
load rather than the detection of an open- or overload condition. For example this can be used to detect
the motor state (starting, free-running, stalled). Moreover, it is possible to regulate the power of the defroster more precise by measuring the load current. The current monitor output is bidirectional (c.f. PWM
inputs).
3.10 PWM inputs
Each driver has a corresponding PWM enable bit which can be programmed by the SPI interface. If the
PWM enable bit is set, the output is controlled by the logically AND-combination of the PWM signal and
the output control bit in Input Data Register. The outputs OUT1-OUT8 and OUT11 are controlled by the
PWM1 input and the outputs OUT9/10 are controlled by the bidirectional input CM/PMW2. For example,
the two PWM inputs can be used to dim two lamps independently by external PWM signals.
3.11 Cross-current protection
The six half-brides of the device are cross-current protected by an internal delay time. If one driver (LS or
HS) is turned-off the activation of the other driver of the same half bridge will be automatically delayed by
the cross-current protection time. After the cross-current protection time is expired the slew-rate limited
switch-off phase of the driver will be changed to a fast turn-off phase and the opposite driver is turned-on
with slew-rate limitation. Due to this behaviour it is always guaranteed that the previously activated driver
is totally turned-off before the opposite driver will start to conduct.
3.12 Programmable Softstart Function to drive loads with higher inrush currrent
Loads with start-up currents higher than the over-current limits (e.g. inrush current of lamps, start current
of motors and cold resistance of heaters) can be driven by using the programmable softstart function (i.e.
overcurrent recovery mode). Each driver has a corresponding over-current recovery bit. If this bit is set,
the device will automatically switch-on the outputs again after a programmable recovery time. The duty
cycle in over-current condition can be programmed by the SPI interface to be about 12% or 25%. The
PWM modulated current will provide sufficient average current to power up the load (e.g. heat up the bulb)
until the load reaches operating condition.
The device itself cannot distinguish between a real overload and a non linear load like a light bulb. A real
overload condition can only be qualified by time. As an example the microcontroller can switch on light
bulbs by setting the over-current Recovery bit for the first 50ms. After clearing the recovery bit the output
will be automatically disabled if the overload condition still exits

Function
Ground:
Reference potential
Important: For the capability of driving the full current at the outputs all pins of GND must
be externally connected !
Highside-driver-output 11:
The output is built by a highside switch and is intended for resistive loads, hence the
internal reverse diode from GND to the output is missing. For ESD reason a diode to GND
is present but the energy which can be dissipated is limited. The highside driver is a power
DMOS transistor with an internal parasitic reverse diode from the output to VS (bulk-draindiode). The output is over-current and open load protected.
Important: For the capability of driving the full current at the outputs both pins of OUT11
must be externally connected !
Halfbridge-output 1,2,3:
The output is built by a highside and a lowside switch, which are internally connected. The
output stage of both switches is a power DMOS transistor. Each driver has an internal
parasitic reverse diode (bulk-drain-diode: highside driver from output to VS, lowside driver
from GND to output). This output is over-current and open load protected.
Power supply voltage (external reverse protection required):
For this input a ceramic capacitor as close as possible to GND is recommended.
Important: For the capability of driving the full current at the outputs all pins of VS must be
externally connected !
Serial data input:
The input requires CMOS logic levels and receives serial data from the microcontroller.
The data is an 24bit control word and the least significant bit (LSB, bit 0) is transferred
first.
Current monitor output/PWM2 input:
Depending on the selected multiplexer bits of Input Data Register this output sources an
image of the instant current through the corresponding highside driver with a ratio of 1/
10.000. This pin is bidirectional. The microcontroller can overdrive the current monitor
signal to provide a second PWM input for the outputs OUT9 and OUT10.
Chip Select Not input / Testmode :
This input is low active and requires CMOS logic levels. The serial data transfer between
L9950 and micro controller is enabled by pulling the input CSN to low level. If an input
voltage of more than 7.5V is applied to CSN pin the L9950 will be switched into a test
mode.
Serial data output:
The diagnosis data is available via the SPI and this tristate-output. The output will remain
in tristate, if the chip is not selected by the input CSN (CSN = high)
Logic supply voltage:
For this input a ceramic capacitor as close as possible to GND is recommended.
Serial clock input:
This input controls the internal shift register of the SPI and requires CMOS logic levels.
→
see OUT1 (pin 3).
Halfbridge-output 4,5,6:
Important: For the capability of driving the full current at the outputs both pins of OUT4
(OUT5, respectively) must be externally connected !
Charge Pump Output:
This output is provided to drive the gate of an external n-channel power MOS used for
reverse polarity protection (see FIGURE 1)
PWM1 input:
This input signal can be used to control the drivers OUT1-OUT8 and OUT11 by an
external PWM signal.
Highside-driver-output 7,8,9,10:
The output is built by a highside switch and is intended for resistive loads, hence the
internal reverse diode from GND to the output is missing. For ESD reason a diode to GND
is present but the energy which can be dissipated is limited. The highside driver is a power
DMOS transistor with an internal parasitic reverse diode from the output to VS (bulk-draindiode). The output is over-current and open load protected.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SPI
4.1
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
This device uses a standard SPI to communicate with a microcontroller. The SPI can be driven by a microcontroller with its SPI peripheral running in following mode: CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0.
For this mode, input data is sampled by the low to high transition of the clock CLK, and output data is
changed from the high to low transition of CLK.
This device is not limited to microcontroller with a build-in SPI. Only three CMOS-compatible output pins
and one input pin will be needed to communicate with the device. A fault condition can be detected by
setting CSN to low. If CSN = 0, the DO-pin will reflect the status bit 0 (fault condition) of the device which
is a logical-or of all bits in the status registers 0 and 1. The microcontroller can poll the status of the device
without the need of a full SPI-communication cycle.
Note:
4.2
In contrast to the SPI-standard the least significant bit (LSB) will be transferred first (see FIGURE 6).
Chip Select Not (CSN)
The input pin is used to select the serial interface of this device. When CSN is high, the output pin (DO)
will be in high impedance state. A low signal will activate the output driver and a serial communication can
be started. The state when CSN is going low until the rising edge of CSN will be called a communication
frame. If the CSN-input pin is driven above 7.5V, the L9950 will go into a test mode. In the test mode the
DO will go from tri-state to active mode.
10/23
L9950
4.3
Serial Data In (DI)
The input pin is used to transfer data serial into the device. The data applied to the DI will be sampled at
the rising edge of the CLK signal and shifted into an internal 24 bit shift register. At the rising edge of the
CSN signal the contents of the shift register will be transferred to Data Input Register. The writing to the
selected Data Input Register is only enabled if exactly 24 bits are transmitted within one communication
frame (i.e. CSN low). If more or less clock pulses are counted within one frame the complete frame will be
ignored. This safety function is implemented to avoid an activation of the output stages by a wrong communication frame.
Note:
4.4
Due to this safety functionality a daisy chaining of SPI is not possible. Instead, a parallel operation of the SPI bus by controlling
the CSN signal of the connected ICs is recommended.
Serial Data Out (DO)
The data output driver is activated by a logical low level at the CSN input and will go from high impedance
to a low or high level depending on the status bit 0 (fault condition). The first rising edge of the CLK input
after a high to low transition of the CSN pin will transfer the content of the selected status register into the
data out shift register. Each subsequent falling edge of the CLK will shift the next bit out.
4.5
Serial Clock (CLK)
The CLK input is used to synchronize the input and output serial bit streams. The data input (DI) is sampled at the rising edge of the CLK and the data output (DO) will change with the falling edge of the CLK
signal.
4.6
Input Data Register
The device has two input registers. The first bit (bit 0) at the DI-input is used to select one of the two Input
Registers. All bits are first shifted into an input shift register. After the rising edge of CSN the contents of
the input shift register will be written to the selected Input Data Register only if a frame of exact 24 data
bits are detected. Depending on bit 0 the contents of the selected status register will be transferred to DO
during the current communication frame. Bit 1-17 controls the behaviour of the corresponding driver.
If bit 23 is zero, the device will go into the standby-mode. The bits 18 and 19 are used to control the current
monitor multiplexer. Bit 22 is used to reset all status bits in both status registers. The bits in the status
registers will be cleared after the current communication frame (rising edge of CSN).
4.7
Status Register
This devices uses two status registers to store and to monitor the state of the device. Bit 0 is used as a
fault bit and is a logical-NOR combination of bits 1-22 in both status registers. The state of this bit can be
polled by the microcontroller without the need of a full SPI-communication cycle (see FIGURE 11). If one
of the over-current bits is set, the corresponding driver will be disabled. If the over-current recovery bit of
the output is not set the microcontroller has to clear the over-current bit to enable the driver. If the thermal
shutdown bit is set, all drivers will go into a high impedance state. Again the microcontroller has to clear
the bit to enable the drivers.
4.8
Test Mode
The Test Mode can be entered by rising the CSN input to a voltage higher than 7.0V. In the test mode the
inputs CLK, DI, PWM1/2 and the internal 2MHz CLK can be multiplexed to data output DO for testing purpose. Furthermore the over-current thresholds are reduced by a factor of 4 to allow EWS testing at lower
current. For EWS testing a special test pad is available to measure the internal bandgap voltage, the TW
and TSD thresholds.
The internal logic prevents that the Hi-Side and Lo-Side driver of the same half-bridge can be switchedon at the same time. In the testmode this combination is used to multiplex the desired signals according
to following table 8:

In case of an thermal shutdown all
outputs are switched off.
The microcontroller has to clear the
TSD bit by setting the Reset Bit to

OUT11 – HS overcurrent
In case of an over-current event the
corresponding status bit is set and
the output driver is disabled. If the

set (Input Register 1) the output will
be automatically reactivated after a
delay time resulting in a PWM

high. The outputs of OUT1OUT8 – HS on/off OUT6 are half bridges. If the
bits of HS- and LS-driver of the
same half bridge are set, the
OUT7 – HS on/off
internal logic prevents that both
drivers of this output stage can
OUT6 – HS on/off be switched on simultaneously
in order to avoid a high internal

The open load detection
monitors the load current in
each activated output stage.
If the load current is below
the open load detection
threshold for at least 1 ms
(tdOL) the corresponding
open load bit is set. Due to
mechanical/electrical inertia
of typical loads a short
activation of the outputs (e.g.
3ms) can be used to test the
open load status without
changing the mechanical/
electrical state of the loads.
