1.Description
The ATA6832 is a fully protected driver IC specially designed for high temperature
applications. In mechatronic solutions, for example turbo charger or exhaust gas recirculation systems, many flaps have to be controlled by DC motor driver ICs which are
located very close to the hot engine or actuator where ambient temperatures up to
150°C are usual. Due to the advantages of SOI technology junction temperatures up
to 200°C are allowed. This enables new cost effective board design possibilities to
achieve complex mechatronic solutions.
The ATA6832 is a triple half-bridge driver to control up to 3 different loads by a microcontroller in automotive and industrial applications. Each of the 3 high-side and 3
low-side drivers is capable of driving currents up to 1.0A. Due to the enhanced PWM
signal (up to 25 kHz) it is possible to generate a smooth control of, for example, a DC
motor without any noise. The drivers are internally connected to form 3 half-bridges
and can be controlled separately from a standard serial data interface, enabling all
kinds of loads, such as bulbs, resistors, capacitors and inductors, to be combined.
The IC design especially supports the application of H-bridges to drive DC motors.
Protection is guaranteed with respect to short-circuit conditions, overtemperature and
undervoltage. Various diagnostic functions and a very low quiescent current in
standby mode enable a wide range of applications. Automotive qualification (protection against conducted interferences, EMC protection and 2-kV ESD protection) gives
added value and enhanced quality for exacting requirements of automotive
applications.

3.Functional Description
3.1Serial Interface
Data transfer starts with the falling edge of the CS signal. Data must appear at DI synchronized
to CLK and is accepted on the falling edge of the CLK signal. The LSB (bit 0, SRR) has to be
transferred first. Execution of new input data is enabled on the rising edge of the CS signal.
When CS is high, pin DO is in tri-state condition. This output is enabled on the falling edge of
CS. Output data will change their state with the rising edge of CLK and stay stable until the next
rising edge of CLK appears. LSB (bit 0, TP) is transferred first.
Status register reset (high = reset; the bits PSF and OVL in the output
data register are set to low)
Software inhibit; low = standby, high = normal operation
(data transfer is not affected by the standby function because the digital
part is still powered)

The following patterns are used to enable internal test modes of the IC. Do not use these patterns during normal operation.
If undervoltage is detected at pin VS, the power-supply fail bit (PSF) in the output register is set
and all outputs are disabled. To detect an undervoltage, its duration has to last longer than the
undervoltage detection delay time t

3.4Overtemperature Protection
If the junction temperature of one or more output stages exceeds the thermal prewarning threshold, T
temperature falls below the thermal prewarning threshold, T
bit can be read without transferring a complete 16-bit data word. The status of TP is available at
pin DO with the falling edge of CS. After the microcontroller has read this information, CS is set
high and the data transfer is interrupted without affecting the status of input and output registers.

, the bit TP is reset. The TP
If the junction temperature of an output stage exceeds the thermal shutdown threshold, T
the affected output is disabled and the corresponding bit in the output register is set to low. Additionally, the overload detection bit (OVL) in the output register is set. The output can be enabled
again when the temperature falls below the thermal shutdown threshold, T
bit in the input register is set to high. The hysteresis of thermal prewarning and shutdown threshold avoids oscillations.
3.5Short-circuit Protection
The output currents are limited by a current regulator. Overcurrent detection is activated by writing a high to the overcurrent shutdown bit (OCS) bit in the input register. When the current in an
output stage exceeds the overcurrent limitation and shut-down threshold, it is switched off, following a delay time (t
bit in the output register is set to low. For OCS = low, the overcurrent shutdown is inactive and
the OVL bit is not set by an overcurrent. By writing a high to the SRR bit in the input register the
OVL bit is reset and the disabled outputs are enabled.
3.6Inhibit
The SI bit in the input register has to be set to zero to inhibit the ATA6832.
In this state, all output stages are then turned off but the serial interface remains active. The output stages can be reactivated by setting bit SI to “1”.
3.7PWM Mode
The common input for all six outputs is pin PWM (Figure 3-2). The selection of the outputs,
which are controlled by PWM, is done by input data register PLx or PHx. In addition to the PWM
input register, the corresponding input registers HSx and LSs have to be set.
