Description
The L9954LXP is a microcontroller driven
multifunctional door actuator driver for automotive
applications. Up to two DC motors and three
grounded resistive loads can be driven with three
half bridges and three high-side drivers. The
integrated standard Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) controls all operation modes (forward,
reverse, brake and high impedance). All
diagnostic information is available via SPI.
* Note: Value of capacitor has to be choosen carefully to li mit the VS voltage below absolute
maximum ratings in case of an unexpected freewheeling condition ( e.g. TSD, POR)

reference potential.
Important: for the capability of driving the full current at the outputs all
pins of GND must be externally connected.
High-side driver output 6
The output is built by a high-side 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 high-side driver is a power
DMOS transistor with an internal parasitic reverse diode from the
output to V
(bulk-drain-diode). The output is over-current and open-
S
load protected.
Important: for the capability of driving the full current at the outputs both
pins of OUT6 must be externally connected.
Half-bridge output 1,2,3
The output is built by a high-side and a low-side 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: high-side driver from output to V
, switchs driver
S
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.
S
Important: for the capability of driving the full current at the outputs all
pins of V
must be externally connected.
S
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 high-side 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 output OUT5.
Chip select not input
This input is low active and requires CMOS logic levels. The serial data
transfer between L9954LXP and micro controller is enabled by pulling
the input CSN to low-level.
Serial data output
The diagnosis data is available via the SPI and this 3-state output. The
output remains in 3-state, if the chip is not selected by the input CSN
(CSN = high)

Each output is built by a high-side switch and is intended for resistive

which can be dissipated is limited. Each high-side driver is a power

3 Application information
3.1 Dual power supply: VS and V
The power supply voltage VS supplies the half bridges and the high-side drivers. An internal
charge-pump is used to drive the high-side switches. The logic supply voltage V
(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 not are lost, if
there are temporary spikes or glitches on the power supply voltage. In case of power-on

3.2 Standby mode
The standby mode of the L9954LXP is activated by clearing the bit 23 of the input data
register 0. All latched data is cleared and the inputs and outputs are switched to high
impedance. In the standby mode the current at V
CSN = high (DO in 3-state). By switching the V
be achieved. If bit 23 is set, the device is switched to active mode.
3.3 Inductive loads
Each half bridge is built by an internally connected high-side and a low-side power DMOS
transistor. Due to the built-in reverse diodes of the output transistors, inductive loads can be
driven at the outputs OUT1 to OUT3 without external free-wheeling diodes. The high-side
drivers OUT4 to OUT6 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-/under voltage, 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 is 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 not changes the
state of the output drivers. On contrary, the overload condition disables the corresponding
driver (over-current) and overtemperature switchs off all drivers (thermal shutdown). 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 under voltage detection
If the power supply voltage VS rises above the overvoltage threshold V
the outputs OUT1 to OUT6 are switched to high impedance state to protect the load. When
the voltage V
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

If the under voltage/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 strongly recommended to set bit 20 to avoid a possible high current oscillation in
case of a shorted output to GND and low battery voltage.

threshold T

3.8 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 (t
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. 3 ms) can be used to test the open-load status without
changing the mechanical/electrical state of the loads.

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 t

3.10 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 high-side driver. Signal at
output CM is blanked after switching on of driver until correct settlement of circuitry (at least
for 32 µs).
The bits 18 and 19 of the input data register 0 control which of the outputs OUT1, OUT4,
OUT5 and OUT6 is 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).
3.11 PWM inputs
Each driver has a corresponding PWM enable bit which can be programmed by the SPI
interface. If the PWM enable bit in Input data register 1 is set, the output is controlled by the
logically AND-combination of the PWM signal and the output control bit in input data
register 0. The outputs OUT1-OUT4 and OUT6 are controlled by the PWM1 input and the
output OUT5 is 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.
3.12 Cross-current protection
The three half-bridges 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 is
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 is changed to a fast
turn-off phase and the opposite driver is turned-on with slew-rate limitation. Due to this
behavior it is always guaranteed that the previously activated driver is totally turned-off
before the opposite driver starts to conduct.

3.13 Programmable soft start function to drive loads with higher
inrush current
Loads with start-up currents higher than the overcurrent limits (e.g. inrush current of lamps,
start current of motors and cold resistance of heaters) can be driven by using the
programmable soft start function (i.e. overcurrent recovery mode). Each driver has a
corresponding over-current recovery bit. If this bit is set, the device switchs automatically 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 15 %...25 %. The PWM
modulated current provides sufficient average current to power up the load (e.g. heat up the
bulb) until the load reaches operating condition. The PWM frequency settles at 1.5 kHz or
3 kHz. 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 is automatically disabled if the overload
condition still exits.

Functional description of the SPIL9954LXP
4 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 are needed to communicate with the device. A fault condition
can be detected by setting CSN to low. If CSN = 0, the DO pin reflects 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:In contrast to the SPI standard the least significant bit (LSB) is transferred first
(see Figure 3).
4.2 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) is in high impedance state. A low signal activates the output driver and a
serial communication can be started. The state when CSN is going low until the rising edge
of CSN is called a communication frame.
4.3 Serial Data In (DI)
The input pin is used to transfer data serial into the device. The data applied to the DI is
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 is 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 is ignored. This safety function is
implemented to avoid an activation of the output stages by a wrong communication frame.
Note: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.
4.4 Serial Data Out (DO)
The data output driver is activated by a logical low-level at the CSN input and goes 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 transfers the
content of the selected status register into the data out shift register. Each subsequent
falling edge of the CLK shifts the next bit out.
24/35Doc ID 16186 Rev 2
Page 25
L9954LXPFunctional description of the SPI
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) changes 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 is 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 is transferred to DO during the current communication frame. Bit
1-17 controls the behavior of the corresponding driver.
If bit 23 is zero, the device goes 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 is 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. No
error bit (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. If one of the over-current bits is set, the corresponding driver
is 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
goes into a high impedance state. Again the microcontroller has to clear the bit to enable the
drivers.
