L99MH98-TR

L99MH98 Automotive Octal Half-Bridge Pre-Driver

STMicroelectronics L99MH98 Automotive Octal Half-Bridge Pre-Driver controls up to 16 N-channel MOSFETs and is intended for DC motor control applications such as automotive power seat control. The STMicroelectronics L99MH98 is hosted in a VFQFPN48L package with an exposed pad. This package also features wettable flanks for easy visual inspection of the solder joint. A 24-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) configures and controls eight half-bridges or four H-bridges. The SPI status registers provide high-level diagnostic information such as supply voltage monitoring, charge pump voltage monitoring, temperature warning, and overtemperature shutdown. Each gate driver independently monitors the external MOSFET drain-source voltage for fault conditions.
