Product details
Overview
L99H92QF-TR from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified dual half-bridge pre-driver IC for automotive DC motor control, supporting configurable full-bridge or independent half-bridge operation with programmable gate drive current (up to 170 mA), dual current sense amplifiers (gain 10×–100×), and SPI 4.1 interface. It operates from 4.51 V to 28 V supply (gate drivers active ≥5.41 V), features fail-safe input, and targets electric park brake systems, sun-roof actuators, and power trunk lift gates.
For engineers reviewing the L99H92QF-TR datasheet, L99H92QF-TR pinout, L99H92QF-TR application, or L99H92QF-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its TQFP32 package with exposed pad, dual-stage charge pump enabling 100% PWM duty cycle down to 5.41 V, programmable cross-current protection time, off-state open-load/short-circuit diagnostics, and ASIL B–supporting fault handling via SPI and dedicated DIAGN pin.
Technical Context
The device integrates two independent high-side/low-side gate drivers with dual-stage charge pump architecture, delivering ≥6.2 V gate-source voltage at VDH = 5.5 V (ICPLOAD = 5 mA) and ≥8.2 V at VDH ≥ 8 V (ICPLOAD = 10 mA). Its SPI 4.1 interface enables real-time register access for configuration, status monitoring, and fault clearing-including VSOVW, VDHOV, VDHUV, VDDOV, DIOOV, CPLOW, TW, and TSD flags.
Two fully programmable current sense amplifiers support high-side, in-line, or low-side sensing with analog outputs centered at VDD/2 or VDD/22, and thermal management includes junction temperature warning (TjTW_ON) and shutdown (TjSD_ON) with forced sink-switch MOSFET turn-off during faults. Standby mode draws <5 µA (ISq) with EN low and registers reset to default.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VS) | 4.51 V to 28 V - powers internal logic regulator; overvoltage warning/protect thresholds programmable via SPI. |
| Gate Driver Enable Voltage (VDH) | ≥5.41 V - minimum voltage for gate driver operation; undervoltage protection triggers MOSFET shutdown. |
| Charge Pump Output | Supports 100% PWM duty cycle down to 5.41 V battery - enables continuous motor control without PWM dropout. |
| Gate Drive Current | Programmable up to 170 mA - controls MOSFET slew rate to minimize EMI in noisy automotive environments. |
| Current Sense Gain | 10×, 20×, 50×, or 100× - selectable per amplifier for precise motor current measurement across load ranges. |
| Diagnostic Interface | SPI 4.1 + dedicated DIAGN pin - provides fast fault alert (<1 µs latency) and full register-level status/control. |
| Thermal Protection | ASIL B–compliant warning (TjTW_ON) and shutdown (TjSD_ON) - forces active sink-switch MOSFET turn-off with configurable filtering. |
Pinout & Package
TQFP32 (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad recommended to be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | I/O and CSA output stage supply | 3.3 V/5 V compatible; must match MCU supply; withstands short-to-battery up to absolute max rating. |
| VS | Main logic supply input | Powers internal regulator; monitored for overvoltage warning (VSOVW) and POR sequencing. |
| VDH | Charge pump and CSA input stage supply | Enables gate drivers; protected against over/undervoltage (VDHOV/VDHUV) with automatic shutdown. |
| PWM/IN1 & DIR/IN2 | Motor control inputs | Configurable for full-bridge (direction + PWM) or dual half-bridge; internal pull-down ensures safe state if MCU disconnects. |
| GH1, GH2, GL1, GL2 | Gate drive outputs | Drive external N-channel MOSFETs; support programmable slew rate and cross-current protection dead-time. |
| CSI1±, CSI2± | Current sense differential inputs | Enable high-accuracy motor current measurement in high-side, in-line, or low-side configurations. |
| CSO1, CSO2 | Current sense analog outputs | Centered at VDD/2 or VDD/22; gain programmable per channel for dynamic range optimization. |
| DIAGN | Asynchronous fault alert | Open-drain output asserting on critical faults (e.g., TSD, VDHOV) faster than SPI response time. |
| FSINB | Fail-safe input (active-low) | Hardware-independent shutdown: forces all MOSFETs OFF via sink-switch mode regardless of SPI/OUTE state. |
| CPOUT | Charge pump output | Drives external reverse-battery NMOS protection FET; monitored for low-voltage condition (CPLOW flag). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual half-bridge pre-driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BD3572FS-E2 (ROHM) | Single-chip H-bridge driver (not pre-driver); no integrated CSAs; lacks SPI interface and ASIL B–certified diagnostics. | Targeted at cost-sensitive non-safety motor control (e.g., HVAC fans); no off-state diagnostics or reverse-battery protection support. | Select only for non-automotive or non-safety applications where CSA feedback and functional safety are not required. |
| TPIC2603DWR (TI) | Quad high-side driver only; no low-side or charge pump; supports 40 V abs max but no VDH/VS separation or dual CSA capability. | Used in solenoid/valve control-not suitable for bidirectional DC motor commutation or torque regulation. | Choose only when driving unidirectional loads with high-side-only topology and no current sensing needs. |
Compared with BD3572FS-E2 and TPIC2603DWR, L99H92QF-TR uniquely combines ASIL B–ready diagnostics, dual programmable CSAs, full-bridge/half-bridge configurability, and reverse-battery protection integration-making it the only drop-in solution for EPB, lift-gate, and sliding-door ECUs requiring ISO 26262 compliance.

FAQ
What is the minimum battery voltage at which L99H92QF-TR maintains full gate drive capability?
The dual-stage charge pump sustains ≥6.2 V gate-source voltage for high-side and low-side MOSFETs down to 5.41 V battery voltage (VDH), enabling uninterrupted 100% PWM duty cycle operation in cold-cranking scenarios. Below this threshold, the NRDY flag asserts and gate drivers remain disabled until VDH recovers above the startup threshold with sufficient filtering time (tCP).
How does the off-state diagnostic function detect open-load conditions?
During off-state, internal comparators monitor drain-source voltage (VDS) of each MOSFET using SH1/SH2 and SL1/SL2 nodes. An open load produces VDS ≈ battery voltage, triggering the OL flag; short-to-battery yields VDS ≈ 0 V (SB flag); short-to-ground yields VDS ≈ VBAT − VFWD (SG flag)-all reported via SPI status register and optionally asserted on DIAGN pin.
Can L99H92QF-TR drive both high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs in a single H-bridge configuration?
Yes-its dual half-bridge architecture supports full-bridge mode where GH1/SL1 and GH2/SL2 form two legs, with SH1/SH2 serving as shared source/drain nodes. The INPMODE bit configures full-bridge operation, and AFWE/FWS bits select active/passive freewheeling paths on high-side or low-side MOSFETs-enabling efficient regenerative braking and directional control.
Is the CPOUT pin intended solely for reverse-battery protection, or can it supply other circuitry?
CPOUT is primarily designed to drive the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection, with output current capability limited by the internal charge pump (ICP_lim). It is not rated for general-purpose power supply use-connecting loads beyond the specified NMOS gate capacitance may destabilize charge pump regulation or trigger CPLOW fault detection.
