Product details
Overview
L9347LF-TR from STMicroelectronics is an intelligent quad low-side power switch IC designed for automotive ABS valve control, featuring two 5A conventional switches (Ch1–Ch2) and two 2.5A current-regulated channels (Ch3–Ch4), with typ. RDS(ON) of 0.2 Ω and 0.35 Ω respectively, integrated Zener clamping (Ch1–Ch2) and freewheeling diodes (Ch3–Ch4), and real-time status monitoring per channel.
For engineers reviewing the L9347LF-TR datasheet, L9347LF-TR pinout, L9347LF-TR application in ABS systems, or L9347LF-TR equivalent for valve driver replacement, this page delivers verified electrical specs, diagnostic behavior, regulator accuracy (±10% over 250 mA–2.25 A), thermal shutdown thresholds (175–200 °C), and PowerSO-36 package layout - all confirmed from ST's official Rev 3 datasheet (Sept 2013).
Technical Context
The device implements dual-mode output architecture: Ch1/Ch2 use DMOS transistors with open-drain outputs and integrated Zener clamps (VZ = 45–60 V) for fast inductive kickback suppression; Ch3/Ch4 employ digital PI regulation (KP = 0.96, KI = 0.126) synchronized to a 250 kHz external clock, measuring current during recirculation via a 1 Ω sense path.
Diagnostic logic includes independent push-pull status outputs per channel, short-circuit detection with 4–30 μs shutdown delay, selective overtemperature shutdown (175–200 °C), open-load detection (VQU = 0.3–0.36×VQ), and regulator drift comparison enabled by TEST pin - all filtered with configurable digital timers (tsf = 4–8 μs, tRE = 10 ms).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(ON) (Ch1–Ch2) | 0.2 Ω typ. at Tj = 25°C → enables <5A continuous conduction with ≤0.5W dissipation per channel at 1A |
| RDS(ON) (Ch3–Ch4) | 0.35 Ω typ. at Tj = 25°C → supports regulated 2.5A operation with stable current loop under load variation |
| Regulator accuracy | ±10% for 250 mA–400 mA; ±6% for 400–800 mA; ±10% for 800 mA–2.25 A → ensures precise solenoid force control across duty cycle range |
| Output PWM frequency | 3.9 kHz (64×250 kHz clock) → provides sufficient resolution for 2 kHz input PWM while minimizing audible noise in valves |
| Short-circuit response | tSCP = 4–30 μs → protects against cable shorts before energy exceeds 50 mJ safe limit for inductive loads |
| Status delay time | tD = 896–1024 μs → guarantees deterministic fault reporting aligned with system watchdog timing windows |
| Overtemperature threshold | Tth = 175–200 °C with 10 °C hysteresis → prevents thermal runaway while allowing transient junction peaks during ABS actuation |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSO-36 with integrated cooling area - thermally optimized for high-power automotive PCB mounting, RthJC = 2 K/W, rated for Tj up to 150°C continuous operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Q1, Q2 | Power Output (Ch1, Ch2) | 5A-rated DMOS drain outputs with Zener clamp; require external flyback path only for non-clamped loads |
| Q3, Q4 | Power Output (Ch3, Ch4) | 2.5A current-regulated outputs; integrate freewheeling diodes D3/D4 and 1 Ω current sense path |
| IN1–IN4 | Control Input | Schmitt-triggered, 2–6 V VIH; valid PWM range 10–90% for Ch3/Ch4; pull-down current 8–40 μA |
| ST1–ST4 | Status Output | Push-pull, VSTL ≤ 0.4 V @ 40 μA, VSTH ≥ 2.5 V @ −40 μA; inverted on fault (e.g., open load, overload) |
| CLK, TEST, EN | System Control | 250 kHz clock input (45–55% duty); TEST enables regulator drift comparison; EN globally disables all channels |
| PGND1–PGND4, GND | Ground Terminals | Separate power grounds per channel + logic ground → minimize crosstalk and enable individual open-load detection |
| VCC, VDD, VS | Supply Inputs | VCC/VDD = 4.5–5.5 V analog/digital supplies; VS = 4.8–18 V main supply; VS loss detected at 2–4.5 V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad low-side valve driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VND5E025AKTR-E | Single-channel 2.5A high-side driver; no current regulation; no integrated freewheeling diodes; SO-8 package | Requires external diodes and separate regulators for multi-channel ABS designs; lacks per-channel status and drift detection | Use only when consolidating single-valve control with high-side topology and minimal BOM count |
| TPS27082LDR | Quad 2.2A low-side switch; no current regulation; no Zener clamping; 1.2 Ω RDS(ON); WQFN-32 package | Higher conduction loss limits peak current to 2.2A; lacks open-load detection on power grounds; no recirculation error handling | Select only for non-inductive or low-energy loads where thermal margin allows higher RDS(ON) |
Compared with L9347LF-TR, VND5E025AKTR-E offers high-side flexibility but requires full external support circuitry for ABS valve stacks, while TPS27082LDR provides smaller footprint and lower cost but sacrifices regulation accuracy, clamping protection, and diagnostic depth needed for safety-critical automotive valve control.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable inductive energy the L9347LF-TR can safely dissipate during switching?
The device specifies EQ = 50 mJ as the absolute maximum switch-off energy for inductive loads. This value is derived from internal Zener clamping (Ch1–Ch2) and freewheeling diode ratings (Ch3–Ch4), validated under worst-case conditions (VQ ≤ 60 V, IQ ≤ 5A). Exceeding 50 mJ risks permanent damage to the DMOS structure or diode junctions, even with proper PCB copper pour and thermal vias.
How does the L9347LF-TR detect and respond to open-load conditions on regulated channels?
Open-load detection on Ch3–Ch4 relies on monitoring the freewheeling diode path voltage (Vrerr = 45–60 V threshold). If D3 or D4 is disconnected, recirculation current collapses, triggering immediate regulator shutdown and status output inversion within tRE = 10 ms. The diagnostic table confirms this fault is latched until EN or IN is held low longer than tD ≈ 1 ms.
Can the L9347LF-TR operate without an external 250 kHz clock signal?
No - the 250 kHz CLK input is mandatory for all functions. It synchronizes the digital PI regulator (Ch3–Ch4), enables clock watchdog (fCLK,min = 10–100 kHz), and gates diagnostic filters (tsf, tlf). Omitting CLK disables regulation, invalidates status timing, and causes immediate fault indication on all STx outputs per Table 7 (detected errors).
What is the significance of the "drift detection" feature and how is it activated?
Drift detection compares PWM duty cycle outputs of Ch3 and Ch4 to identify aging-induced mismatches in current regulation. It is activated by asserting the TEST pin high while applying identical PWM inputs to IN3 and IN4. A >±14.3% difference in output PWM ratio triggers status inversion, indicating mechanical or magnetic degradation in paired solenoids - critical for predictive maintenance in EPB and ABS systems.
