MPN: L9960 ✓ פעילL9960 סקירה
A motor driver is an integrated circuit that translates low-power control signals from a microcontroller into high-current, high-voltage signals to drive motors. It typically includes H-bridge topologies for bidirectional control, protection features such as overcurrent and thermal shutdown, and diagnostic interfaces. Motor drivers are a subset of power management ICs, which manage and distribute power within electronic systems.
Key features of the L9960 include a low RDS(on) of 0.15 ohm per switch, which minimizes power dissipation and improves efficiency. It integrates a 10-bit current sense ADC for precise motor current monitoring, and a SPI interface for configuration and diagnostics. The device also features PWM current regulation, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown, ensuring robust operation in harsh environments.
The L9960 uses a smart power technology that combines high-voltage power MOSFETs with CMOS control logic on a single die. This integration reduces external component count and enhances reliability. The SPI interface allows real-time monitoring of bridge currents and fault conditions, enabling advanced motor control algorithms and predictive maintenance.
Typical applications include automotive body control modules, electric power steering, HVAC actuators, and industrial automation. In automotive body control, the L9960 drives window lifters, seat adjusters, and mirror motors with precise current control. In industrial settings, it controls conveyor belts and robotic arms with high reliability.
When designing with the L9960, ensure adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation, especially at high currents. The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal via array to maintain junction temperature within limits. Proper decoupling capacitors on the supply and logic pins are essential to minimize voltage transients.

הערות תכנון
At 8 A per bridge and 0.15 ohm RDS(on), power dissipation per bridge is approximately 9.6 W. The TQFP-48 (EP) package has a thermal resistance of about 20 C/W, resulting in a junction temperature rise of 192C. A heatsink or substantial copper pour is required for reliable operation above 2 A continuous current.
Place decoupling capacitors (100 nF and 10 uF) close to the VS and VDD pins. Use a solid ground plane and connect the exposed pad to a thermal via array for heat dissipation. Keep SPI traces short and shielded to minimize noise.
Do not exceed the maximum supply voltage of 28 V. Ensure the SPI interface is properly configured before enabling the outputs. The current sense ADC requires a stable reference voltage for accurate readings. Avoid switching the H-bridge outputs without proper dead-time control to prevent shoot-through.
