Product details
Overview
L99DZ70XPTR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade multifunctional door actuator driver IC integrating six half-bridge outputs (including three 6 A full bridges and three 3 A half bridges), five high-side drivers (up to 6 A), programmable soft-start, current monitoring, open-load/over-current/thermal protection, and SPI-controlled electrochromic glass control. It drives up to five DC motors and five resistive loads in vehicle door modules for lock, mirror fold/axis, defroster, and lighting functions.
For engineers reviewing the L99DZ70XPTR datasheet, L99DZ70XPTR pinout, L99DZ70XPTR application, or L99DZ70XPTR equivalent, this device supports SPI-configurable motor direction/brake/Hi-Z states, real-time diagnostics via status registers, current-sense feedback on all high-side outputs, and reverse-polarity protection via external charge-pump MOSFET - critical for robust automotive body electronics design.
Technical Context
The L99DZ70XPTR implements a fully SPI-driven control architecture with 24-bit command frames, global status byte reporting, and eight configurable control/status registers enabling precise per-output state management (forward/reverse/brake/Hi-Z) and diagnostic readback. Its integrated electrochromic control block uses ECDR and ECV pins to drive external MOSFETs for charging/discharging smart mirror glass.
It features dual power domains (VS for power stage, VCC for logic), separated half-bridges dedicated to door lock motors, PWM input capability on multiple outputs, and cross-current protection. All 11 outputs include open-load detection, over-current shutdown, and thermal warning with automatic shutdown at Tj ≥ 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Configuration | Six half-bridges (3×6 A full bridge, 2×3 A, 1×0.75 A) + five high-side drivers (1×6 A, 2×1.5/0.4 A configurable, 2×0.5 A) |
| RON (max) | 90 mΩ (6 A high-side), 150 mΩ (6 A full bridge), 300 mΩ (3 A half-bridge), 1600 mΩ (0.75 A/0.5 A outputs) |
| Standby Current | <6 µA typical at Tj ≤ 85 °C - enables ultra-low-power vehicle sleep-mode compliance |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Open-load detection, over-current protection, temperature warning/shutdown, and current monitor output on all high-side drivers |
| SPI Interface | ST-SPI 3.0 compliant: 24-bit command frame, CSN/CLK/DI/DO, status register readback, error flag reporting |
| Package | PowerSSO-36 - thermally enhanced exposed-pad SO package with 36 pins, optimized for automotive under-hood thermal dissipation |
| Supply Range | VS: −0.3 V to 28 V (40 V transient); VCC: −0.3 V to 5.5 V - supports 12 V/24 V battery systems with reverse polarity tolerance |
Pinout & Package
Package: PowerSSO-36 - thermally optimized 36-pin exposed-pad surface-mount package with multiple GND, VS, and output pins paralleled for low-inductance, high-current routing in automotive door modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1,18,19,36) | Ground reference | All four pins must be externally connected to minimize voltage drop and ensure full 6 A output capability |
| VS (Pins 6,7,14,15,23,24,28,29) | Main power supply input | Eight parallel pins required for low-impedance connection to battery rail; ceramic decoupling mandatory |
| OUT1–OUT6 | Half-bridge motor outputs | Configurable for bidirectional DC motor control (lock, mirror fold/axis); internal bulk-drain diodes enable freewheeling |
| OUT7–OUT11, ECV | High-side resistive load drivers | Drive bulbs, LEDs, defrosters; no internal GND-referenced diode - external flyback required for inductive loads |
| ECDR, ECV | Electrochromic control interface | ECDR drives gate of external N-MOS; ECV senses voltage and provides fast discharge path for smart mirror glass |
| CSN, CLK, DI, DO | SPI interface signals | CMOS-level serial interface for configuration, command, and diagnostic readback; tristate DO enables bus sharing |
| CM/PWM2 | Bidirectional current monitor / secondary PWM input | Provides 1/10,000 or 1/2,000 current-sense scaling; microcontroller can override as PWM input for OUT5/OUT8/OUT10 |
| CP | Charge pump output | Drives gate of external N-channel MOSFET for reverse-polarity protection - eliminates need for series diode loss |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable soft-start | Adjustable current-limit threshold during turn-on - prevents inrush tripping when driving high-inductance door lock solenoids |
| Integrated electrochromic controller | Dedicated ECDR/ECV interface with SPI-configurable charge/discharge timing - enables seamless integration of auto-dimming mirrors without external MCU GPIO overhead |
| Per-output diagnostic visibility | Real-time open-load, over-current, and thermal fault flags accessible via SPI status registers - eliminates need for discrete sense circuitry |
| Multi-rail power architecture | Independent VS (power stage) and VCC (logic) supplies - allows safe operation during battery brown-out while maintaining SPI communication |
| Reverse polarity protection support | On-chip charge pump (CP pin) drives external N-MOS - achieves <100 mΩ reverse-path resistance vs. >500 mΩ with Schottky diode solutions |
Applications
| Door Lock Actuation | Mirror Fold & Axis Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Simultaneous bi-directional control of dual latch/unlatch solenoids in automotive front/rear doors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar door actuator driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| L99DZ70GXPTR | Same die, green (RoHS-compliant) variant with identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference; used where lead-free compliance is mandated | Select for automotive programs requiring ECOPACK® certification and Pb-free assembly |
| L99DZ71XPTR | Enhanced version with extended temperature range (−40 °C to 150 °C vs. −40 °C to 140 °C) and improved ESD rating (±6 kV HBM) | Required for engine bay or high-ambient zones; supports higher peak load cycling | Choose when operating ambient exceeds 105 °C or system-level ESD immunity >±4 kV is specified |
Compared with L99DZ70XPTR, L99DZ70GXPTR offers identical performance in RoHS-compliant manufacturing, while L99DZ71XPTR delivers extended thermal and ESD robustness at the cost of slightly higher quiescent current (8 µA vs. 6 µA) - selection depends strictly on compliance and environmental requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for OUT1–OUT3?
OUT1–OUT3 are rated for 6 A continuous DC current per channel at Tj ≤ 140 °C with adequate PCB copper pour and airflow. Their RON is 150 mΩ max, resulting in ≤540 mW conduction loss at 6 A. Derating to 5 A is recommended above 125 °C junction temperature per ST's thermal data in Section 2.3.
How does the electrochromic control block operate without external microcontroller intervention?
The electrochromic block operates autonomously once enabled via SPI configuration register bit. ECDR drives the external MOSFET gate using internally generated timing; ECV actively discharges the EC glass through its low-side switch. No continuous MCU polling is needed - only initial setup and periodic status reads.
Can CM/PWM2 be used simultaneously as current monitor and PWM input?
No - CM/PWM2 is time-multiplexed. When configured as current monitor (via MUX bits in Control Register 0), it outputs scaled current; when reconfigured as PWM2 input, it disables current sensing and accepts external PWM for OUT5/OUT8/OUT10. Switching requires SPI write and 10 µs settling.
Is external reverse polarity protection required despite the CP pin?
Yes - CP drives the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET, but the MOSFET itself and its gate-drive loop must be implemented externally. The CP pin provides regulated ~10 V output; no reverse-protection FET is integrated. Layout must minimize CP loop inductance to prevent oscillation.
