Logic supply voltage - nominally 5V

GROUND

Device Ground.This ground applies for the logic cir-

cuits as well as the power output stages.

RESET

Asynchronousreset for the outputstages,the paral-

lel latch and the shift register inside the L9822ESP.

This pin is active low and it must not be left floating.

A power on clear function may be implemented con-

to ground with an external capacitor.

CE

Chip Enable. Data is transferred from the shift regi-

sters to the outputs on the rising edge of this signal.

The falling edge of this signal sets the shift register

with the output voltage sense bits coming from the

output stages. The output driver for the SO pin is

enabled when this pin is low.

SO

Serial Output. This pin is the serial output from the

shift register and it is tri-stated when CE is high. A

high for a data bit on this pin indicates that the par-

ticular output is high. A low on this pin for a data bit

indicates that the output is low.

Comparing the serial output bits with the previous

serial input bits the external microcontroller imple-

ments the diagnostic data supplied by the L9822.

SI

Serial Input. This pin is the serial data input. A high

on thispin will program a particular outputto be OFF,

while a low will turn it ON.

SCLK

Serial Clock. This pin clocks the shift register. New

SO data will appear on every rising edge of this pin

and new SI data will be latched on every SCLK’s fal-

ling edge into the shift register.

OUTPUTS 00-07

Power output pins. The input and outputbits corres-

pondingto 07 are sent and received first via the SPI

bus and 00 is the last. The outputsare provided with

current limiting and voltage sense functions for fault

indication and protection. The nominal load current

for these outputs is 500mA, but the current limiting

is set to a minimum of 1.05A.The outputsalso have

on board clamps set at about 36V for recirculation

of inductive load current.
