Product details
Overview
SPSB081C3-TR from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive power management IC integrating dual LDO regulators (V1 = 3.3 V, V2 = 3.3 V tracker), four 0.14 A high-side drivers (RON = 7 Ω), CAN-FD transceiver (ISO 11898-2/2016, SAE J2284), contact monitoring (WU1/WU2), and programmable watchdog/reset. It supplies microcontrollers and peripherals in body control modules while enabling fail-safe diagnostics and ultra-low standby current (15 µA).
For engineers reviewing the SPSB081C3-TR datasheet, SPSB081C3-TR pinout, SPSB081C3-TR application, or SPSB081C3-TR equivalent, this device supports critical automotive functions including system wake-up via cyclic sensing, open-load diagnosis on all HS outputs, V1 overvoltage protection, thermal warning/shutdown (TW = 140–160 °C, TSD1 = 165–185 °C), and SPI-controlled configuration of regulator rails and safety features.
Technical Context
The SPSB081C3-TR implements a dual-regulator architecture where V1 delivers fixed 3.3 V @ 250 mA for MCU supply, and V2 operates as a ±20 mV tracking regulator of V1 at identical 3.3 V output, configurable via SPI bit V2_TKR. Both regulators require no electrolytic capacitors and support ceramic loads ≥1 µF.
Its CAN-FD physical layer complies with ISO 11898-2/2016 and SAE J2284, includes local/bus failure diagnosis, and draws power from V1, V2, or external VCANSUP. Four independent HS drivers feature internal 10-bit PWM timers, current monitoring (CM pin), open-load detection, and short-circuit protection with thermal cluster management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Output Voltage | 3.3 V fixed (OTP-configured); powers MCU and integrated CAN-FD transceiver |
| V2 Output Mode | Tracker of V1 (±20 mV tolerance); enables synchronized peripheral supply without separate reference |
| HS Driver Current | 0.14 A continuous per channel; supports LED modules and high-capacitance sensors |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 15 µA typical; enables battery-sensitive applications like passive keyless entry |
| CAN-FD Compliance | ISO 11898-2/2016 + SAE J2284; includes bus failure and local fault diagnosis |

| Wake-up Inputs | WU1 and DIR/WU2 support static or programmable cyclic sensing for door/tailgate modules |
Pinout & Package
SPSB081C3-TR uses QFN32L Epad (5.0 × 5.0 × 1.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad; pin 32 (TAB) must be connected to PGND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| WU1 | Wake-up input 1 | Static or cyclic monitoring of external contacts (e.g., door latch status) |
| DIR/WU2 | Dual-function pin | Configurable as direct HS drive enable or second wake-up input with DIR capability |
| V2 | Tracker regulator output | 3.3 V output tracking V1; protected against reverse bias and short-circuit |
| OUT1–OUT4 | High-side driver outputs | Each drives 0.14 A loads with RON = 7 Ω, open-load diagnosis, and current monitor multiplexing |
| VS | Power stage supply | External supply for HS drivers; requires reverse-battery protection and local ceramic decoupling |
| VSREG | Main regulator input | Feeds V1/V2, CAN/LIN analog blocks, and wake-up circuitry; needs ceramic + electrolytic backup |
| CAN_H / CAN_L | CAN-FD differential bus interface | Compliant I/O with ±40 V fault tolerance and integrated bus failure detection |
| DIAGN | Failsafe error indicator | Active-low open-drain output signaling thermal, overcurrent, or regulator faults |
| CM | Current monitor output | Multiplexed analog output reflecting real-time current of selected HS driver (fixed scaling) |
| NINT | Interrupt notification | Push-pull output indicating errors, warnings, or local/remote wake-up events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPSB0815-TR | V1 = 5 V (not 3.3 V); supports LIN transceiver (SPSB081C3 does not) | Suitable for legacy 5 V MCU platforms requiring LIN bus; lacks 3.3 V optimization for modern low-voltage SoCs | Select when system MCU requires 5 V supply and LIN communication is mandatory |
| TLE9261-2QX | Single 5 V LDO (no V2 tracker); 4-channel HS drivers with 0.5 A rating; no integrated CAN-FD | Requires external CAN-FD transceiver and separate 3.3 V regulator; higher drive strength but less integration | Select when higher current HS drive (0.5 A) is needed and CAN-FD can be added externally |
Compared with SPSB0815-TR, the SPSB081C3-TR offers optimized 3.3 V supply for modern MCUs and eliminates LIN overhead, while versus TLE9261-2QX it provides tighter system integration (CAN-FD + tracker LDO) at lower per-channel drive current-favoring compact, cost-sensitive body electronics.

FAQ
Does SPSB081C3-TR support LIN communication?
No. The SPSB081C3-TR integrates only CAN-FD (ISO 11898-2/2016, SAE J2284) and omits the LIN transceiver present in SPSB0815-TR and SPSB0813-TR. Its pinout excludes LIN-specific pins (RxD_L, TxD_L), and documentation confirms LIN functionality is limited to those variants. System-level LIN connectivity requires an external transceiver.
What is the maximum continuous current per high-side driver?
Each of the four high-side drivers (OUT1–OUT4) supports 0.14 A continuous current with RON = 7 Ω. Absolute maximum ratings specify up to 1.25 A peak per output, but sustained operation above 0.14 A risks thermal violation under typical PCB conditions. Derating is required above ambient temperatures of 85 °C per thermal data in DS14048 Rev 3.
How is V2 configured as a tracker of V1?
V2 is configured as a tracker by setting the V2_TKR bit (bit 6 of Control Register CR2) to '1' via SPI. This mode is only valid when V1 and V2 are set to the same nominal voltage (3.3 V for SPSB081C3-TR). In tracker mode, V2 output follows V1 within ±20 mV and retains full short-circuit and thermal protection.
Is external reverse-battery protection required for VS and VSREG inputs?
Yes. Both VS (power stage supply) and VSREG (regulator input) require external reverse-battery protection-typically implemented using a P-channel MOSFET or diode-as explicitly stated in the datasheet. Failure to include this protection risks damage during jump-start or load-dump transients exceeding absolute maximum ratings (−0.3 V to 40 V).
