1. Description
The ATA6827 is a fully protected driver IC specially designed for high temperature
applications. In mechatronic solutions, for example turbo charger or exhaust gas recir-
culation systems, many flaps have to be controlled by DC motor driver ICs which are
located very close to the hot engine or actuator where ambient temperatures up to
150°C are usual. Due to the advantages of SOI technology junction temperatures up
to 200°C are allowed. This enables new cost effective board design possibilities to
achieve complex mechatronic solutions.
The ATA6827 is a fully protected Triple Half-Bridge to control up to 3 different loads by
a microcontroller in automotive and industrial applications. Each of the 3 high-side and
3 low-side drivers is capable to drive currents up to 1.0A. The drivers are internally
connected to form 3 half-bridges 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 especially supports the application of
H-bridges to drive DC motors.
Protection is guaranteed regarding short-circuit conditions, overtemperature and
undervoltage. Various diagnostic functions and a very low quiescent current in
standby mode opens a wide range of applications. Automotive qualification gives
added value and enhanced quality for exacting requirements of automotive
applications.

Half-bridge output 3
Chip select input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull up;
low = serial communication is enabled, high = disabled
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
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)
Ground; reference potential
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 one data output line only.
Inhibit input; 5-V logic input with internal pull down; low = standby, high = normal operation

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.

Short circuit detected: set high when at least one high-side or low-side
switch is switched off by a short-circuit condition. Bits 1 to 6 can be used
to detect the shorted switch.
Open load detected: set high, when at least one active high-side or
low-side switch sinks/sources a current below the open load threshold
current.
Power-supply fail: undervoltage at pin VS detected
