SPOC - BTS6460SF
Overview
Configuration and status diagnosis are done via SPI. The SPI is daisy chain capable. The device provides a
current sense signal per channel that is multiplexed to the diagnosis pin IS. It can be enabled and disabled via SPI
commands. An over load and over temperature flag is provided in the SPI diagnosis word. A multiplexed switch
bypass monitor provides short-circuit to VBB diagnosis. In OFF state a current source can be switched to the output
of one selected channel in order to detect an open load.
Additionally, there is an integrated PWM generator implemented, which allows autonomous PWM operation with
programmable phase shifts, duty cycles and PWM frequencies. The status diagnosis and the current sense signal
is available for each channel.
The SPOC - BTS6460SF provides a fail-safe feature via limp home input pin.
The power transistors are built by N-channel vertical power MOSFETs with charge pumps.
