L9974-TR - Automotive Quad Half-Bridge Driver | STMicroelectronics
MPN： L9974-TR ✓ 啟用中L9974-TR 概覽
A half-bridge driver is a power management IC that controls the direction and speed of DC motors by selectively connecting the motor terminals to the supply or ground. In a full H-bridge configuration, two half-bridges are combined to drive a motor bidirectionally. The L9974-TR simplifies this by integrating four half-bridges, allowing control of two DC motors or one stepper motor with minimal external components. This category sits within the broader hierarchy of motor drivers, which are essential in automotive systems such as power windows, seat adjustment, and mirror positioning.
Key features of the L9974-TR include a low quiescent current of 10uA in standby mode, making it suitable for battery-powered automotive applications. It offers overcurrent, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection, ensuring robust operation in harsh environments. The device also features a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for advanced diagnostics and control, allowing the microcontroller to read fault status and configure output states. The PowerSO-20 package has a thermal resistance of 35 C/W, enabling efficient heat dissipation.
Technically, the L9974-TR uses a smart power technology that integrates CMOS control logic with high-current DMOS output stages. This architecture provides low on-resistance (0.5 ohm typical) and fast switching, reducing power losses. The SPI interface operates at up to 5 MHz, enabling real-time monitoring and control. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified, meeting the stringent reliability standards for automotive electronics.
Typical applications include automotive body control modules, DC motor drivers for power windows and mirrors, and industrial automation systems. The wide input voltage range and robust protection make it ideal for 12V and 24V systems. In a power window application, the L9974-TR drives the window motor bidirectionally, with the SPI providing diagnostic feedback for stall detection.
When designing with the L9974-TR, ensure proper PCB layout with adequate copper area for thermal dissipation. Place the supply decoupling capacitor close to the VCC pin to minimize voltage spikes during switching. The SPI lines should be kept short and shielded to avoid noise coupling.

主要差異化特點
- Four half-bridges in one package (對比L9973-TR)
- AEC-Q100 qualified (對比DRV8804)
- Wide supply voltage range (對比DRV8804)
設計說明
The PowerSO-20 package has a thermal resistance of 35 C/W. At 1.2A per channel with 0.5 ohm on-resistance, each channel dissipates 0.72W. With all four channels active, total dissipation is 2.88W, causing a 100C temperature rise. Ensure adequate PCB copper area or forced airflow for high-duty-cycle operation.
Place a 100nF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin and a 10uF electrolytic capacitor nearby to handle current transients. Keep SPI traces short and shielded to prevent noise coupling. Use a ground plane to minimize inductance.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 40V. Ensure the SPI lines are not left floating during power-up; pull them to known states. The enable pin must be driven high to activate outputs; otherwise, outputs are high-impedance.
