An electric parking brake (EPB) is an automated parking brake system that replaces the traditional mechanical handbrake with electronic controls. The L9370 is a motor driver IC that sits between the vehicle's microcontroller and the brake actuator motors, providing the high-current H-bridge switching needed to drive the motors in both directions. In the broader system hierarchy, the L9370 is a specialized motor driver within the automotive power management and actuation domain, working alongside microcontrollers, power supplies, and sensor interfaces to deliver safe and reliable parking brake operation.
Key features of the L9370 include dual H-bridge driver stages capable of driving eight external FETs, enabling bidirectional motor control for brake apply and release. The device is designed for automotive environments, with support for VDA 3.0 compliance (as noted in ST community discussions), ensuring compatibility with industry-standard safety and communication protocols. The 64-pin TQFP package offers a compact footprint while providing adequate thermal performance for automotive under-hood or in-cabin mounting.
Technically, the L9370 integrates gate driver circuitry for the external FETs, with the gate driver block being identical to that of the L9369, another ST automotive IC. This design reuse ensures proven performance and simplifies qualification. The device operates over an extended automotive temperature range, typically -40°C to +125°C, and is designed to meet stringent automotive reliability standards, including AEC-Q100 qualification (though this should be verified from the datasheet).

設計ノート
The L9370 drives external FETs for high-current motor applications, which can generate significant heat. Ensure adequate PCB copper area and thermal vias to dissipate heat from the 64-pin TQFP package. The thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient) is not specified in the available data, but typical TQFP packages have theta_JA around 30-40 C/W. For continuous high-current operation, consider adding a heatsink or forced airflow.
Place decoupling capacitors (e.g., 100nF and 10uF) close to the VCC and GND pins to filter high-frequency noise. For the motor supply, use a bulk capacitor (e.g., 100uF) to handle current transients. Keep high-current paths short and wide to minimize parasitic inductance and resistance. Follow the layout guidelines in the datasheet for optimal performance.
Ensure that the external FETs are properly selected to match the gate drive voltage and current capability of the L9370. Incorrect FET selection can lead to insufficient switching or overheating. Also, verify the VDA 3.0 compliance requirements for your specific application, as this may affect system integration. Always refer to the official datasheet for complete specifications and application notes.
