Operating battery supply voltage 4.0 V to 28 V
Operating Vdd supply voltage 4.5 V to 5.5 V
PowerSO-20 PowerSSO24
PowerSO16
All pins withstand 19 V, Vs and output pins
withstand 40 V
Detailed failure diagnostics on each channel is
provided via SPI: short circuit to battery, short
circuit to ground, short circuit overload, over
temperature.
■
Full path Ron from 100 mΩ (at Tj = -40 °C) to
300 mΩ (at Tj =150 °C)
Logic inputs TTL/CMOS-compatible

Open-load can be detected in ON condition, for
the widest application ranges. Current regulation
threshold can be set by SPI from 2.5 A to 8.6 A
(Typ.), in 4 steps. Guaranteed accuracy is ±10 %
on all temp range, using an external reference
resistor with 1% accuracy over all temp range.
Operating frequency up to 20 kHz
16-bit SPI interface for
configuration/diagnostics, daisy chain

Over temperature and short circuit protection
VS undervoltage disable function
Vdd undervoltage and overvoltage protection
Vdd overvoltage detection
Current limitation threshold is linearly reduced by
temperature over 165 °C.and a thermal warning
bit is set by SPI. The H-Bridge contains integrated
free-wheel diodes. In case of free-wheeling
condition, the low side transistor is switched on in
parallel of its diode to reduce power dissipation.

Full diagnostics in OFF state

A multiple wire bonding technique, as well as ST
proprietary package design is making L9958
compatible with three power packages, for
maximum flexibility:
Low stand by current (<10 µA)
Voltage and current slew-rate control for low
EMI, programmable through SPI
■
Available in three power packages
PowerSO-20 package (medium power, JEDEC
standard MO166);
Description
PowerSO16 package (medium power, lower
cost);
The L9958 is an SPI controlled H-Bridge,
designed for the control of DC and stepper motors
in safety critical applications and under extreme
environmental conditions.
PowerSSO24 package (low power, very low cost
JEDEC standard MO271A).
The H-Bridge is protected against over
temperature, short circuits and has an
undervoltage lockout for all the supply voltages Vs
and Vdd, and for overvoltage on Vdd. All
malfunctions cause the output stages to go
tristate.
