CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The L9346 is a quad low side driver for inductive
loads like valves in automotive environment. The
internal pull down current sourcesat the ENABLE and INPUT pins assure in case of open input conditionsthat the device is switched off. An
output voltage slope limitation for du/dt is implemented to reduce the EMI. An integrated active
flyback voltage limitation clamps the output voltage during the flyback phase to 50 V.
Each driver is protected against short circuit at
OUT < 32V and thermal overload. In short circuit
V
condition the output will be disabled after a short
DOL
delay time t
. The thermal disable for TJ >
180°C of the output will be reseted if the junction
temperaturedecreasesabout 20°Cbelow the disable threshold temperature.
Theov er temperatureinformationisstoreduntilIN=L.
For the real time error diagnosis the voltage and
the current of the outputs are compared with internal fixed values V
conditions to recognize open load (R
R
L >38Ω) in OFFand ON conditions.
Also the output voltages V
OUV for OFF and IOUC for ON
L ≥ 20 KΩ,

- 4 are compared to
each other output in OFF condition with a fixed

offset of ∆V
suppress the ∆V
OUV to recognize load bypasses. To
OUV diagnoses duringthe flyback
phases of thecomparedoutput, the∆VOUVdiagnostic includesa latch function.
Reaching the flyback clamping voltage V
OCL the
diagnostic signalisresetedby a latch. To activate
again this kind of diagnostic a low signal at the
correspondent INPUT or the ENABLE pin must
be applied (see also Fig.3). The outputs 1 and 4
are compared for ∆V
OUV and also outputs 2 and 3
are compared.
The diagnosticoutput level in connectionwith dif-
ferent ENABLE and INPUT conditions allows to
recognize differentfailstates,like overtemp,short
SS, short to GND, bypass to GND and dis-
to V
connectedload (see diagnostictable).
The diagnostic output is protected against short
circuit. Exceeding the over load current threshold
OOC
, the output current will be limited internally
I
during the diagnostic overload delay switch-off
time t
DOL.
The device complies the ISO pulses imposed to
the supply voltage of the valves without any failures of the functionality.
