Description

The L9370 targets the specific application of

electric parking braking, suitable for system

configuration in cable-puller or Motor Gear Unit

(MGU).

The cores are two H-bridge driver stages to drive

8 external FETs for the rear wheels brakes

actuators. The stages are fully driven and

configurable via SPI, also in PWM control mode

and protected against overcurrent, with drainsource

and gate-source voltages monitoring.

A synchronized motor voltages and currents

acquisition, is performed via full differential

amplifiers with programmable and precise gain

and low offset and 10 ADC sigma-delta

modulators.

Two configurable HS/LS stages are present with

programmable output voltage to drive LED arrays,

with feedforward regulation.

2 Motor Speed Sensor interfaces (MSS) are

available to acquire position feedback from brake

actuators (shared with Lamp driver stage and

GPIO).

The set of the interfaces is completed by 4 GPIO

(General Purpose I/O) pins and a button interface

allows to manage specific customer requirements

from Electronic parking braking (EPB) button

console both in Normal and Sleep Mode.
