Product details
Overview
L9953XPTR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade multifunctional door actuator driver IC integrating five half-bridge outputs (OUT1–OUT5), three high-side drivers (OUT6–OUT8), SPI interface, current monitoring, and comprehensive diagnostics. It delivers 6 A peak through two full/half-bridge channels (rON = 150 mΩ typ at 25°C), 1.5 A through three half-bridges (rON = 800 mΩ), and supports PWM-controlled mirror fold, lock, defroster, and lighting loads in vehicle door modules.
For engineers reviewing the L9953XPTR datasheet, L9953XPTR pinout, L9953XPTR application, or L9953XPTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its PowerSSO-36 package thermal performance, programmable softstart for inrush-limited motor startup, integrated open-load/overload/overtemperature diagnostics via SPI, and dual-supply operation (VS: 7–28 V, VCC: 4.5–5.3 V).
Technical Context
The L9953XPTR implements a microcontroller-driven architecture with a 24-bit SPI interface enabling precise control of forward/reverse/brake/high-Z states across all eight outputs. Its diagnostic engine reports real-time fault status-including open load, overload, overtemperature (Tj shutdown at 170°C), and VS undervoltage (5.7 V) or overvoltage (18 V)-via dedicated status registers.
It integrates a charge pump (VCP = VS + 6 to VS + 13 V) for external reverse-polarity protection MOSFET gate drive, and features bidirectional CM/PWM2 pin supporting current sensing (1/10,000 ratio) or secondary PWM input for OUT7. All outputs are protected against short-circuit and thermal runaway.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Configuration | 5 half-bridges (OUT1–OUT5) + 3 high-side drivers (OUT6–OUT8); enables independent control of 3 DC motors and 3 resistive loads |
| Max Output Current | ±10.5 A sink/source on OUT4/OUT5; ±3 A on OUT1–OUT3/OUT6–OUT8 - supports door lock, mirror axis, and defroster loads |
| rON (Typ, 25°C) | 150 mΩ (OUT4/OUT5), 800 mΩ (OUT1–OUT3), 100 mΩ (OUT8), 500 mΩ (OUT6/OUT7) - determines conduction loss and thermal derating |
| Standby Current | <6 µA (Tj ≤ 85°C) - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode for always-on vehicle systems |
| SPI Interface | 24-bit serial control with CSN/CLK/DI/DO; provides full configuration and real-time diagnostic readback |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Open-load, overload, overtemperature (130°C warning, 170°C shutdown), VS UV/OV detection - reduces need for external monitoring circuitry |
| Softstart Programmability | Configurable ramp time for inductive loads >6 A or >1.5 A - prevents voltage sag and contact arcing during motor startup |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-36 - thermally enhanced exposed-pad SO package with 36 leads, optimized for automotive under-hood thermal dissipation (RthJA = 30°C/W typical).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,18,19,36) | Ground reference | All four pins must be externally connected to minimize ground bounce and support full output current capability |
| VS (Pins 6,7,14,15,23,25,28,32) | Main power supply input | 8–28 V battery rail; eight pins required for low-impedance path and thermal spreading |
| OUT1–OUT5 (Pins 3,4,5,16,17,20,21,24,23) | Half-bridge outputs | Each pair drives bidirectional DC motors (e.g., mirror vertical/horizontal, lock/unlock); internal DMOS with bulk-drain diodes |
| OUT6–OUT8 (Pins 31,33,2,35) | High-side drivers | OUT6/OUT7: 1.5 A resistive loads (mirror fold); OUT8: 6 A defroster/lighting - no GND-referenced body diode |
| CSN, CLK, DI, DO (Pins 10,13,8,11) | SPI interface | CMOS-level 4-wire SPI with tristate DO; enables daisy-chaining and fault reporting without MCU GPIO overhead |
| CM/PWM2 (Pin 9) | Bidirectional monitor/control | Current sense output (1/10,000 scaling) or secondary PWM input for OUT7 - eliminates extra signal routing |
| PWM1 (Pin 27) | External PWM input | Direct hardware PWM control of OUT1–OUT6 and OUT8 - bypasses SPI latency for time-critical actuation |
| CP (Pin 29) | Charge pump output | Drives gate of external N-MOS for reverse polarity protection - avoids need for costly discrete protection ICs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated diagnostic engine | Real-time open-load, overload, overtemperature, and supply UV/OV detection reported via SPI status register - reduces BOM count and software validation effort |
| Programmable softstart | Adjustable current ramp for high-inrush loads (e.g., cold mirror motors) - prevents battery dip and relay chatter in 12 V systems |
| Dual-supply architecture | Independent VS (7–28 V) and VCC (4.5–5.3 V) rails - isolates logic integrity from noisy battery transients during load switching |
| Current monitor per critical output | 1/10,000-ratio analog current sense on OUT1, OUT4, OUT5, OUT8 - enables closed-loop torque estimation without shunt resistors |
| Thermal robustness | Junction temperature range −40°C to +150°C with 170°C thermal shutdown and 20°C hysteresis - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual half-bridge (OUT1/OUT2 for vertical, OUT4/OUT5 for horizontal) with independent PWM control and current feedback. Use Value: Enables stall detection and position calibration via monitored current slope - no encoder required. |
| Mirror Fold & Defroster | Door Lighting Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar door actuator driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE9201SG | Single-package 4-channel half-bridge (max 3.5 A), no integrated current monitor or charge pump | Lacks OUT8-level 6 A capability and mirror defroster support; requires external UVLO and reverse protection | Preferred for cost-sensitive 2-motor systems without defroster or lighting integration |
| VNQ7E100AJ | Quad high-side driver (10 A peak), no half-bridges or SPI interface - standalone protection IC | Cannot drive bidirectional motors; limited to resistive loads only; diagnostics require external MCU polling | Used as supplemental high-current stage alongside simpler motor drivers, not as full replacement |
Compared with L9953XPTR, TLE9201SG offers lower channel count and no current sensing, while VNQ7E100AJ lacks motor control logic entirely - making L9953XPTR uniquely suited for integrated door module designs requiring mixed bridge/high-side topology and full diagnostic visibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal shutdown behavior of the L9953XPTR?
The L9953XPTR operates from −40°C to +150°C junction temperature. Thermal shutdown activates at 170°C (rising) and releases at 150°C (falling), providing 20°C hysteresis. A temperature warning flag asserts at 130°C via SPI status register, allowing preemptive derating before shutdown.
How does the programmable softstart function work, and which outputs support it?
The softstart function applies to all eight outputs (OUT1–OUT8) and is configured via SPI register bits. It controls the slew rate of output current during turn-on, limiting inrush for high-inductance loads like cold mirror motors. The ramp time is adjustable in discrete steps to match specific load characteristics.
Can the L9953XPTR drive both resistive and inductive loads simultaneously, and how are they differentiated in the pinout?
Yes - OUT6–OUT8 are high-side-only drivers intended for resistive loads (e.g., defrosters, bulbs) and lack GND-referenced body diodes; OUT1–OUT5 are half-bridges with internal DMOS body diodes optimized for inductive motor commutation. This separation prevents shoot-through and enables safe freewheeling paths.
What is the role of the CP (charge pump) pin, and what external component is required?
The CP pin supplies a boosted voltage (VS + 6 to VS + 13 V) to drive the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET used for reverse-polarity protection. A single external N-MOS (e.g., STP16NF06L) is required between battery and VS input; no additional charge pump IC or capacitors are needed.
