Product details
Overview
L9954LXPTR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade multifunctional door actuator driver IC integrating three half-bridge outputs (RDS(on) = 1600 mΩ, ±0.75 A), two configurable high-side drivers (500 mΩ/1.5 A or 1800 mΩ/0.35 A), and one 6 A high-side driver (RDS(on) = 100 mΩ), all SPI-controlled with current monitoring, open-load/overload diagnostics, and programmable soft-start for mirror axis control and defroster/LED loads.
For engineers reviewing the L9954LXPTR datasheet, L9954LXPTR pinout, L9954LXPTR application, or L9954LXPTR equivalent, this device supports precise PWM-controlled bidirectional motor driving, resistive load switching with reverse-polarity protection via charge pump, and real-time fault reporting through SPI status registers in automotive door module designs.
Technical Context
The L9954LXPTR implements a dual-supply architecture (VS: 7–28 V, VCC: 4.5–5.3 V) with integrated charge pump (VCP = VS + 10 to VS + 13 V) enabling external N-MOS reverse polarity protection. Its six output channels-OUT1–OUT3 (half-bridges), OUT4/OUT5 (configurable high-side), and OUT6 (6 A high-side)-are individually protected against overtemperature (Tj shutdown at 170 °C), short-circuit, open-load, and overload conditions.
SPI interface (24-bit command word, CSN/CLK/DI/DO) enables full configuration of forward/reverse/brake/high-Z states and real-time readback of diagnostic flags including thermal warning (130 °C), UV/OV detection (VSUV = 5.7–7.2 V, VSOV = 17.5–24.5 V), and current monitor scaling (1:10000 for OUT6, 1:3800–1:10200 for OUT4/OUT5 depending on RDS(on) mode).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Configuration | Three half-bridges (OUT1–OUT3), two configurable high-side (OUT4/OUT5), one 6 A high-side (OUT6) |
| RDS(on) (OUT1–OUT3) | 1600 mΩ typ @ 25 °C - limits conduction loss for 0.75 A DC motor drive |
| RDS(on) (OUT4/OUT5) | 500 mΩ low-R mode or 1800 mΩ high-R mode - selectable per load current requirement |
| RDS(on) (OUT6) | 100 mΩ typ @ 25 °C - enables 6 A continuous resistive load switching (e.g., mirror defroster) |
| Standby Current | < 6 µA typ @ Tj ≤ 85 °C - meets automotive low-power sleep mode requirements |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Open-load, overload, overtemperature, short-circuit, UV/OV detection - reported via SPI status register |
| Current Monitor Accuracy | ±4% + 1%FS for OUT6, ±8% + 2%FS for OUT1/OUT4–OUT5 - supports closed-loop current sensing |
| Soft-Start Programmability | Configurable ramp time for inrush current limiting - prevents voltage droop during incandescent bulb or motor startup |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-36 (exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, ECOPACK®)
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1–OUT3 (Pins 2, 3, 4) | Half-bridge outputs | Internally connected HS/LS DMOS stages for bidirectional DC motor control; each includes bulk-drain diodes for freewheeling |
| OUT4/OUT5 (Pins 31, 33) | Configurable high-side drivers | Power DMOS outputs for resistive loads (e.g., 10 W bulbs); no internal GND-referenced diode - external flyback required |
| OUT6 (Pins 1, 34) | 6 A high-side driver | Dual-pin connection for low-inductance 6 A switching; parasitic bulk-drain diode to VS provides limited reverse recovery path |
| VS (Pins 6, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30) | Main power supply input | 10-pin parallel connection required to sustain full output current; ceramic decoupling mandatory near GND |
| GND (Pins 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 36) | Ground reference | All six GND pins must be externally tied to minimize ground bounce and ensure accurate current sensing |
| DI / DO / CSN / CLK (Pins 5, 8, 10, 13) | SPI interface | CMOS-level serial interface supporting 24-bit command/status transfer; DO is 3-state when CSN high |
| CM/PWM2 (Pin 9) | Bidirectional current monitor / PWM input | Provides scaled current image (1:10000) for OUT6 or accepts external PWM signal for OUT5 control |
| PWM1 (Pin 27) | External PWM input | Direct hardware PWM control for OUT1–OUT4 and OUT6, bypassing SPI for timing-critical actuation |
| CP (Pin 26) | Charge pump output | Drives gate of external N-MOSFET for reverse-polarity protection; output voltage tracks VS + 10–13 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable ramp time prevents inrush-induced voltage sag during startup of incandescent bulbs or high-L motors |
| Multi-level RDS(on) selection | OUT4/OUT5 support dual conduction modes - low-R for 1.5 A lighting, high-R for 0.35 A indicator LEDs |
| Integrated current monitor | Hardware-scaled analog output (CM/PWM2) enables real-time current feedback without external shunt amplifiers |
| Comprehensive diagnostics | Per-output open-load, overload, and overtemperature detection reported via dedicated SPI status bits |
| Reverse polarity protection support | On-chip charge pump (CP) drives external N-MOSFET gate - eliminates need for discrete charge pump IC |
| Low standby consumption | < 6 µA quiescent current ensures compliance with automotive ISO 16750-2 sleep-mode leakage limits |
Applications
| Automotive Door Mirror Control | Door Lock / Folder Actuation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional positioning of side-view mirror vertical/horizontal axes using two DC motors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-bridges OUT1–OUT3 provide H-bridge drive with cross-current protection and PWM-controlled speed regulation.

Use Scenario: Driving solenoid-based door lock mechanism and folder (e.g., fuel cap or tailgate) actuator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side drivers OUT4/OUT5 deliver 1.5 A (low-R mode) to solenoids with open-load detection confirming mechanical engagement. Use Value: Configurable RDS(on) allows same IC to drive both high-current locks and low-current position indicators. |

Use Scenario: Dimmable control of 10 W LED or incandescent bulbs in door panel illumination circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUT4/OUT5 operate in high-R mode (1800 mΩ) for 0.35 A LED strings; PWM1 input enables analog dimming without SPI overhead. Use Value: Programmable soft-start eliminates visible flicker during bulb turn-on; overload detection prevents thermal runaway in LED arrays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive door actuator driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD37020FV | Single-package 4-channel high-side driver (no half-bridges); max 1.2 A per channel; no integrated current monitor | Lacks bidirectional motor control capability - suitable only for resistive loads like defrosters or lamps | Select when only unidirectional switching is needed and system already includes separate H-bridge ICs |
| VNQ5E050K-E | Quad-channel high-side driver with 5 A rating per channel; no half-bridges or SPI interface; analog current sense only | No diagnostic reporting or programmable soft-start; requires external MCU GPIOs for control instead of SPI | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where SPI communication and advanced diagnostics are not required |
Compared with BD37020FV and VNQ5E050K-E, the L9954LXPTR uniquely integrates half-bridge motor control, configurable high-side drivers, SPI diagnostics, and current monitoring in one package - eliminating board space and BOM count for multi-function door modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for OUT6?
OUT6 supports 6 A continuous current with RDS(on) = 100 mΩ typ at 25 °C. Absolute maximum pulsed current is ±10 A per Table 3, but sustained operation above 6 A requires derating based on junction temperature (Tj ≤ 150 °C) and PCB copper area per Figure 10 thermal data.
How does the programmable soft-start function work?
The soft-start is configured via SPI register bits controlling internal slew-rate limiting on OUT1–OUT6. It extends turn-on time to limit inrush current during cold filament or motor coil energization - critical for preventing VS droop below 5.7 V UV threshold during startup of 10 W bulbs or mirror motors.
Can OUT4 and OUT5 be used simultaneously in different RDS(on) modes?
No - OUT4 and OUT5 share the same configuration register for RDS(on) mode selection. Both must operate in either low-R (500 mΩ/1.5 A) or high-R (1800 mΩ/0.35 A) mode simultaneously; independent mode control is not supported per Section 2.4 and Table 11.
Is external reverse polarity protection required when using the CP pin?
Yes - the CP pin drives the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET (e.g., STB11NK60Z) placed between battery and VS input. The L9954LXPTR provides the gate drive voltage (VS + 10–13 V) but does not include the MOSFET; external FET and gate resistor are mandatory for reverse-polarity protection.
