L9986 Présentation
A low-side driver is a type of power switch that connects the load to ground when activated, allowing the load to be powered from a positive supply rail. In automotive systems, low-side drivers are commonly used to control actuators, lights, and motors, where the load is connected between the battery positive terminal and the driver output. The L9986 belongs to the family of smart power switches, which integrate protection and diagnostic functions to simplify system design and improve safety.
Key features of the L9986 include four independent output channels, each capable of delivering up to 1.5 A continuous current, with a maximum supply voltage of 40 V. The device features overcurrent, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection, as well as an open-load detection function for diagnostic purposes. The outputs are protected against inductive load demagnetization, and the device is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
The L9986 is built using STMicroelectronics' VIPower M0-5 technology, which combines vertical P-channel power MOSFETs with CMOS control logic on a single chip. This integration allows for low quiescent current consumption and fast switching performance, while maintaining high thermal efficiency. The device is available in a PowerSO-16 package, which provides excellent thermal dissipation for high-current operation.
Typical applications include automotive body control modules, relay drivers, solenoid drivers, and LED lighting control. The L9986 is also suitable for industrial automation and general-purpose switching applications where multiple low-side loads need to be controlled with minimal external components.
When designing with the L9986, it is important to consider the thermal dissipation at high output currents and to provide adequate PCB copper area for heat sinking. Additionally, proper decoupling of the supply voltage and careful layout of the output traces are essential to minimize EMI and ensure reliable operation.

Notes de conception
The L9986 can dissipate significant power when driving high currents. For example, at 1.5A per channel with a 0.35 ohm on-resistance, each channel dissipates approximately 0.79W. With all four channels active, total dissipation is about 3.15W. The PowerSO-16 package has a thermal resistance of approximately 40C/W (theta_JA), so the junction temperature rise would be 126C above ambient. Ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow to keep the junction temperature within the rated range.
Place decoupling capacitors (100nF and 10uF) close to the VCC pins to filter supply noise. For each output, add a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4007) across inductive loads to protect the switch from back-EMF. Keep output traces short and wide to minimize inductance and resistance.
Do not exceed the maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the input logic levels are compatible with the microcontroller (3.3V/5V). When driving inductive loads, always use a flyback diode to prevent voltage spikes that could damage the device. Also, monitor the DIAG pin for fault conditions and implement appropriate software handling.
