L9973 概要
A motor driver is an integrated circuit that translates low-power control signals from a microcontroller into the higher voltage and current needed to drive an electric motor. In the system hierarchy, a motor driver sits between the logic-level controller and the motor itself, providing the necessary power amplification, protection, and control features. The L9973 belongs to the category of power management ICs, specifically motor drivers, which are essential in automotive body control modules, HVAC systems, and industrial automation.
Key features of the L9973 include a wide operating voltage range, low quiescent current, and integrated protection features such as overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage lockout. The device also features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for advanced diagnostics and control, allowing the microcontroller to read fault status and configure the driver. The package is a PowerSO-20, which provides excellent thermal performance for high-current applications.
The L9973 uses a standard H-bridge topology with four power MOSFETs per channel, enabling bidirectional motor control. The SPI interface allows for daisy-chaining multiple devices, simplifying PCB layout in multi-motor systems. The device is designed to meet automotive quality standards, including AEC-Q100 qualification, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.
Typical applications include automotive power windows, seat adjustment, mirror control, and HVAC flap control. The wide voltage range and robust protection make it ideal for industrial actuators and robotics as well. The SPI interface provides real-time diagnostics, which is critical for safety-critical applications.
When designing with the L9973, ensure proper PCB layout with adequate copper area for heat dissipation, especially when driving high currents. The SPI lines should be kept short and shielded to avoid noise, and the supply pins should be decoupled with a 100nF ceramic capacitor close to the device.

設計ノート
The L9973 in PowerSO-20 package can dissipate up to 2W without a heatsink, but for continuous operation at 1.2A per channel, ensure adequate copper area on the PCB. Use a thermal pad connected to the exposed pad (if available) and provide vias to the ground plane for heat spreading.
Place a 100nF ceramic capacitor close to each VS pin and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor at the power input. Keep the SPI lines short and route them away from high-current traces to avoid noise. Use a ground plane to minimize EMI.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the SPI lines are properly terminated to avoid ringing. When driving inductive loads, add freewheeling diodes across the motor terminals to protect the H-bridge from back-EMF.
