Product details
Overview
E-L9823013TR from STMicroelectronics is an octal low-side driver IC designed for automotive bulb, resistive, and inductive load control. It delivers 0.5 A per channel, features cascaded SPI interface up to 3.0 MHz, programmable 50 V output clamping, independent thermal shutdown (SOA protection), and open-load detection - deployed in vehicle lighting and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the E-L9823013TR datasheet, E-L9823013TR pinout, E-L9823013TR application, or E-L9823013TR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current capability (0.5 A), flyback voltage clamp (50 V typ), SFPD-configurable short-circuit response, diagnostic readback via SO pin, and SO24 package compatibility with automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The L9823 implements eight independent low-side power switches controlled by an 8-bit serial shift register synchronized to CSB and SCLK. Each output includes integrated voltage clamping (50 V typ) for inductive flyback recirculation and supports dual fault-handling modes via the SFPD pin: latch-off on overcurrent (SFPD = low) or sustained current limiting (SFPD = high).
Diagnostic feedback is provided through the same SPI interface: status bits reflect real-time conditions including open load (output off + VOUT < 0.55·VDD), short-to-battery (output on + VOUT > 0.55·VDD), and thermal shutdown. Reset is active-low and OR-combined with internal undervoltage detection at 2.5–3.95 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 0.5 A continuous per channel - sufficient for automotive incandescent lamps and solenoids |
| Output clamp voltage | 50 V typical - enables safe flyback energy absorption without external snubbers |
| SPI clock frequency | Up to 3.0 MHz - supports fast configuration and diagnostics in real-time body control systems |
| Standby current | 35 µA typical at VDD < 0.5 V - minimizes battery drain during vehicle sleep mode |
| RDS(on) | 0.8 Ω max at Tj = 25°C - ensures low conduction loss and thermal efficiency |
| Open-load detection | 60 µA sink current - reliably identifies disconnected loads with output disabled |
| Thermal shutdown | 155–180°C threshold - protects against sustained overload or ambient overheating |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO24 (Small Outline, 24-pin, 0.60 mm pitch, 15.4 mm × 7.5 mm body). Pin count and layout conform to JEDEC MS-013AC standard with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT0–OUT7 | Power output terminals | Eight low-side switch drains - directly drive bulbs, relays, or solenoids to GND |
| CSB | Chip select (active low) | Enables SPI communication and latches data into output registers on rising edge |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Controls timing of SI data sampling (falling edge) and SO data shifting (rising edge) |
| SI | Serial data input | Accepts 8-bit command stream (MSB first: OUT7 → OUT0) to set output states |
| SO | Serial data output | Tri-stateable diagnostic readback - reports 8-bit status (MSB first) on rising SCLK edges |
| SFPD | Short-fault protect disable | Selects between latch-off (SFPD = low) or current-limit mode (SFPD = high) for inrush-tolerant loads |
| RESET | Active-low reset | Clears shift register and forces all outputs OFF; internally pulled down for fail-safe startup |
| VDD | Logic supply | Single 4.5–5.5 V rail powers logic and gate drivers - no separate VGS supply needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable output clamping | 50 V typical clamp voltage - eliminates need for external flyback diodes in relay/inductor drives |
| Per-output thermal protection | Independent SOA monitoring per channel - prevents single-fault thermal runaway from disabling full device |
| Configurable short-circuit response | SFPD pin selects between immediate latch-off (for resistive loads) or current-limit mode (for lamp inrush) |
| Integrated open-load detection | 60 µA diagnostic sink per output - detects broken filaments or disconnected connectors without external circuitry |
| High EMS immunity | Controlled dV/dt (0.7–3.5 V/µs) and built-in ESD protection (±2 kV HBM) - meets automotive EMC requirements |
Applications
| Headlamp Control Module | Seat Motor Driver |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal low-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE6232GP | Higher RDS(on) (1.2 Ω typ), no SFPD pin - fixed latch-off only | Lacks configurable short-circuit response; requires external clamp for >40 V inductive loads | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs inrush tolerance and diagnostic flexibility |
| BD8940FV-M | Lower current rating (0.35 A), no open-load detection, SO20 package | Missing diagnostic readback and thermal SOA protection - limited to non-safety-critical loads | Used in entry-level body electronics where full diagnostics are not required |
Compared with TLE6232GP and BD8940FV-M, E-L9823013TR uniquely combines 0.5 A per channel, programmable 50 V clamping, SFPD-selectable fault response, and full 8-bit diagnostic readback - making it suitable for ASIL-B–aligned lighting and actuator subsystems requiring traceable fault reporting.

FAQ
What is the function of the SFPD pin on E-L9823013TR?
The SFPD (Short Fault Protect Disable) pin configures the device's overcurrent response: when tied to GND, it enables immediate latch-off upon short-circuit detection; when tied to VDD, it forces current-limiting operation to tolerate lamp inrush currents. This dual-mode behavior eliminates need for external current-sense circuitry and supports both resistive and inductive load types without redesign.
How does E-L9823013TR report open-load faults?
E-L9823013TR detects open loads by sinking 60 µA (typ) through each output when disabled; if the output voltage falls below 0.55·VDD due to missing load, the corresponding diagnostic bit reads low during SPI status readback. This occurs independently per channel and requires no external components - enabling automated end-of-line testing and runtime filament integrity checks.
Can E-L9823013TR drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?
Yes - E-L9823013TR integrates internal voltage clamping with a typical 50 V threshold, allowing flyback current from relays, solenoids, or motors to recirculate safely within the die. This eliminates external freewheeling diodes in most 12 V automotive applications, reducing board space and component count while maintaining robustness against inductive kickback.
What is the minimum RESET pulse width required for reliable initialization?
E-L9823013TR requires a minimum RESET pulse width of 160 ns (low state) to ensure complete clearing of the internal shift register and forced OFF state of all outputs. This specification is guaranteed across temperature and voltage ranges, and the internal pull-down ensures safe default behavior even if the external MCU reset signal is absent or floating during power-up.
