1. Description
The T6817 is a fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS technol-
ogy. It can be used to control up to 6 different loads by a microcontroller in automotive
and industrial applications.
Each of the 3 high-side and 3 low-side drivers is capable of driving currents up to
600 mA. The drivers are freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a
standard serial data interface. Therefore, all kinds of loads such as bulbs, resistors,
capacitors and inductors can be combined. The IC design is especially supportive of
H-bridges applications to drive DC motors.
Protection is guaranteed in terms of short-circuit conditions, overtemperature, under-
and overvoltage. Various diagnosis functions and a very low quiescent current in
standby mode open a wide range of applications. Meeting automotive qualifications in
the area of conducted interferences, EMC protection and 2 kV ESD protection provide
added value and enhanced quality for the exacting requirements of automotive
applications.

Function
Ground; reference potential; internal connection to pin 10, 11, 13 and 20; cooling tab
Serial data input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull-down; receives serial data from the control
device, DI expects a 16-bit control word with LSB being transferred first
Chip-select input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull-up;
low = serial communication is enabled, high = disabled
Serial clock input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull down;
controls serial data input interface and internal shift register (f
max
= 2 MHz)
Inhibit input; 5-V logic input with internal pull-down; low = standby, high = normal operating
Power supply output stages HS1, HS2 and HS3
Low-side driver output 3; power-MOS open drain with internal reverse diode: overvoltage protection by
active zenering; short-circuit protection; diagnosis for short and open load
Not connected

High-side driver output 3; power-MOS open drain with internal reverse diode: overvoltage protection by
active zenering; short-circuit protection; diagnosis for short and open load
Ground (see pin 1)
High-side driver output 2 (see pin 12) be consistant
Low-side driver output 2 (see pin 8)
High-side driver output 1 (see pin 12)
Low-side driver output 1 (see pin 8)
Serial data output; 5-V CMOS logic level tri-state output for output (status) register data; sends 16-bit
status information to the microcontroller (LSB is transferred first); output will remain tri-stated unless
device is selected by CS = low, therefore, several ICs can operate on only one data output line only.

3. Functional Description
3.1
Serial Interface
Data transfer starts with the falling edge of the CS signal. Data must appear at DI synchronized
to CLK and are accepted on the falling edge of the CLK signal. LSB (bit 0, SRR) has to be trans-
ferred first. Execution of new input data is enabled on the rising edge of the CS signal. When CS
is high, pin DO is in tri-state condition. This output is enabled on the falling edge of CS. Output
data will change their state with the rising edge of CLK and stay stable until the next rising edge
of CLK appears. LSB (bit 0, TP) is transferred first.
