The L9466 is a monolithic multifunction generator
Voltage regulator intended for use in automotive
charging applications.
Table 1.Device summary
L9466
Car alternator voltage regulator
Multiwatt8
This All Silicon Voltage Regulator regulates the
output of an automotive generator by controlling
the field winding current by means of a variable
frequency PWM high side driver.
Internal clock frequencyVDF = 32 - 35V; at 2.2kΩ4XHz
IRD, SS, LRC RateVDF = 32 - 35V; at 2.2kΩ÷ 16

DELAY
1. This condition can happen when the connection between the battery and VGO or the output terminal of the generator is
broken. The 1.1 second delay is not required, and current is sinked by ASVR.
2. When no fault is detected the Lamp terminal is pulled up by ASVR.
