L9698 - Automotive Quad Low-Side Driver | STMicroelectronics
MPN: L9698 ✓ פעילL9698 סקירה
A low-side driver is a type of power switch that connects the load to ground when activated, commonly used to drive relays, solenoids, lamps, and resistive loads. In automotive systems, low-side drivers are essential for controlling actuators and indicators, where the load is connected between the battery positive and the driver output. The L9698 belongs to the family of smart power switches, which integrate protection and diagnostic functions to enhance system reliability and reduce external component count.
Key features of the L9698 include four independent channels with a maximum output current of 1.5A per channel, a low ON-state resistance of 0.5 ohm, and a standby current of only 10 uA. The device also features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for advanced diagnostics and control, allowing the microcontroller to read fault status and control each output independently. The SPI interface operates at up to 5 MHz, enabling fast communication in real-time control systems.
From a technical perspective, the L9698 utilizes a smart power technology that integrates CMOS control logic with high-voltage power MOSFETs on a single chip. This architecture ensures efficient switching with minimal power loss, while the built-in protection circuits prevent damage from overload conditions. The device also includes a thermal shutdown feature that disables the outputs if the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, protecting the IC and the load from thermal stress.
Typical applications for the L9698 include automotive body control modules, where it drives exterior lights, interior lighting, and small motors. It is also used in industrial automation for controlling solenoids and relays, and in smart power distribution systems. The wide supply voltage range and robust protection make it ideal for harsh environments.
When designing with the L9698, it is important to consider the thermal dissipation, especially when driving multiple channels at high current. The PowerSO-20 package has a thermal resistance of 35°C/W, and adequate PCB copper area should be provided for heat sinking. Additionally, the SPI interface requires proper pull-up resistors on the data lines to ensure reliable communication.

הערות תכנון
The L9698 in PowerSO-20 package has a thermal resistance of 35°C/W. When driving all four channels at 1.5A each, the total power dissipation can be significant. For example, with a supply voltage of 12V and a load voltage drop of 2V, each channel dissipates 3W, totaling 12W. This would cause a junction temperature rise of 420°C, which is unacceptable. Therefore, it is critical to provide adequate heat sinking, such as a large copper area on the PCB and possibly a heatsink. Ensure the junction temperature stays below 150°C.
Place decoupling capacitors (100nF and 10uF) close to the VCC pin to filter high-frequency noise. For the SPI lines, use series resistors (e.g., 33 ohm) to reduce ringing and improve signal integrity. Ensure the ground plane is solid and connected to the exposed pad of the PowerSO-20 package for thermal and electrical performance.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. When driving inductive loads, ensure freewheeling diodes are connected across the loads to prevent voltage spikes. The SPI interface requires pull-up resistors on the SDO line to ensure proper communication. Also, avoid enabling multiple channels simultaneously without considering the total current draw and thermal limits.
