- AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (vs DRV8701-Q1)
Design Notes
The L9369-TR in the 64-LQFP package has a thermal resistance of 25 C/W. For continuous high-current operation, ensure adequate copper area on the PCB for heat dissipation. A large ground plane and thermal vias are recommended to keep the junction temperature within safe limits. For example, at 8.5 A peak current with an RDS(on) of 0.15 ohm, power dissipation per switch is approximately 10.8 W, requiring substantial thermal management.
Place the L9369-TR close to the motor connectors to minimize trace inductance and resistance. Use wide, short traces for high-current paths (H-bridge outputs) to reduce voltage drops and heat generation. Decouple the VCC pin with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor and a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor near the IC. Ensure the SPI lines are routed away from high-current traces to avoid noise coupling.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 28 V. Ensure the SPI interface is properly configured to enable fault reporting and diagnostic functions. The current sense amplifier outputs should be connected to the ADC inputs of the microcontroller with appropriate filtering to avoid noise. Verify the external FETs are properly sized for the peak current and have adequate gate drive voltage.
