STMicroelectronics L99MH98 Automotive Octal Half-Bridge Pre-Driver

STMicroelectronics L99MH98 Automotive Octal Half-Bridge Pre-Driver controls up to 16 N-channel MOSFETs and is intended for DC motor control applications such as automotive power seat control. The STMicroelectronics L99MH98 is hosted in a VFQFPN48L package with an exposed pad. This package also features wettable flanks for easy visual inspection of the solder joint. A 24-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) configures and controls eight half-bridges or four H-bridges. The SPI status registers provide high-level diagnostic information such as supply voltage monitoring, charge pump voltage monitoring, temperature warning, and overtemperature shutdown. Each gate driver independently monitors the external MOSFET drain-source voltage for fault conditions.

The STMicroelectronics L99MH98 supports indirect current measurement on external MOSFETs, allowing cost savings and lower system complexity, avoiding the usage of shunt resistors. A more efficient gate current control of the external MOSFETs, called “three-stage gate current,” decreases and optimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI). Protection features (drain-source monitoring for short circuit detection, overtemperature warning/shutdown, timeout watchdog for MCU control, and detailed off-state diagnostic via SPI) ensure the ASIL-B achievement according to ISO 26262 standard.
