Description
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.
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.

Detailed failure diagnostics on each channel is
provided via SPI: short circuit to battery, short
circuit to ground, short circuit overload, over
temperature.
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.
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.
A multiple wire bonding technique, as well as ST
proprietary package design is making L9958
compatible with three power packages, for
maximum flexibility:
PowerSO-20 package (medium power, JEDEC
standard MO166);
PowerSO16 package (medium power, lower
cost);
PowerSSO24 package (low power, very low cost
JEDEC standard MO271A).
