Description
The T6818/T6828 are fully protected driver interfaces designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS
technology. They are used 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 1.5 A.
The drivers are internally connected to form 3 half-bridges and can be controlled sep-
arately 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 und-
er voltage. Various diagnostic functions and a ver y low quiescent current in
stand-by-mode opens a wide range of applications. Automotive qualification (protec-
tion against conducted interferences, EMC protection and 2-kV ESD protection) gives
added value and enhanced quality for exacting requirements of automotive
applications.

Function
T6818: ground; reference potential; internal connection to pin 7, 8 and 14; cooling tab
T6828: additional connection to heat slug
Half-bridge output 3; formed by internally connected power MOS high-side switch 3 and low-side switch 3
with internal reverse diodes; short circuit protection; overtemperature protection; diagnosis for short and
open load
Power supply for output stages OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3, internal supply
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; see pin 1
Ground; see pin 1
Serial data output; 5-V CMOS logic level tristate output for output (status) register data; sends 16-bit
status information to the microcontroller (LSB is transferred first); output will remain tristated 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

Functional Description
Serial Interface
Data transfer starts with the falling edge of the CS signal. Data must appear at DI syn-
chronized to CLK and are accepted on the falling edge of the CLK signal. LSB (bit 0,
SRR) has to be transferred first. Execution of new input data is enabled on the rising
edge of the CS signal. When CS is high, pin DO is in tristate 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
