Product details
Overview
SPSB081C5-TR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive power management IC integrating dual LDO regulators (V1 = 5 V / 250 mA, V2 = 3.3 V / 100 mA tracker), four 0.14 A high-side drivers with open-load and overcurrent diagnosis, CAN-FD transceiver (ISO 11898-2/2016, SAE J2284), contact wake-up inputs (WU1/WU2), and fail-safe DIAGN output - deployed in body control modules for LED lighting, sensor supply, and gateway-level power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the SPSB081C5-TR datasheet, SPSB081C5-TR pinout, SPSB081C5-TR application, or SPSB081C5-TR equivalent, this device supports SPI-configurable voltage tracking, thermal warning/shutdown (140 °C / 165–185 °C), ultra-low standby current (15 µA), and ASIL-aware diagnostics including current monitoring, window watchdog, and programmable reset generation.
Technical Context
The SPSB081C5-TR implements a dual-regulator architecture where V1 supplies MCU and internal CAN-FD logic at fixed 5 V, while V2 operates as a ±20 mV tracking regulator of V1 (3.3 V output), configurable via SPI register CR2 bit V2_TKR. Both LDOs require only ceramic capacitors (≥1 µF) and include overvoltage protection, short-to-ground detection, and thermal shutdown with hysteresis.
Its four HS drivers feature integrated RON = 7 Ω, 10-bit PWM per channel, current monitor multiplexing (CM pin), and open-load diagnosis. The CAN-FD physical layer supports local/bus failure diagnosis, and wake-up inputs WU1/WU2 support cyclic sensing with DIR functionality on WU2 - all operating across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Output | Fixed 5 V, 250 mA max - powers MCU and embedded CAN-FD transceiver; includes overvoltage pulldown and short-to-GND detection. |
| V2 Output | 3.3 V tracker of V1 (±20 mV), 100 mA max - supplies external peripherals; configured via SPI CR2.V2_TKR bit. |
| HS Drivers | 4× high-side outputs, RON = 7 Ω, 0.14 A continuous - drive LEDs/sensors with integrated PWM timers and open-load diagnosis. |
| CAN-FD Interface | ISO 11898-2/2016 & SAE J2284 compliant - supports bus failure diagnosis, local fault reporting, and VCANSUP selectable supply source. |
| Standby Current | 15 µA typical in VBAT_standby mode - enables always-on wake-up capability with WU1/WU2 cyclic sensing and timer-based wake. |
| Thermal Protection | Warning at 140–160 °C (TW), shutdown at 165–185 °C (TSD1), hysteresis ≥5 °C - ensures safe operation under sustained load conditions. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM ±8 kV on CAN_H/CAN_L/LIN pins; ±4 kV on OUT1–OUT4; ±2 kV on logic pins - meets automotive EMC requirements per ISO 7637-2 Pulse1/2a/3a/3b. |
Pinout & Package
SPSB081C5-TR is housed in a QFN32L Epad package (5.0 × 5.0 × 1.0 mm), thermally enhanced with exposed die pad for PCB heat dissipation. Pin layout follows top-view orientation with VSREG, V1, V2, OUT1–OUT4, CAN_H/CAN_L, DIAGN, NINT, CM, and SPI interface signals distributed across perimeter and center pads.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSREG | Main power input | Supplies internal regulators (V1/V2), CAN-FD, wake-up circuitry; requires ceramic + electrolytic capacitor decoupling. |
| V1 | Primary LDO output | 5 V / 250 mA regulated supply for MCU and CAN-FD core; includes overvoltage protection and short-to-GND detection. |
| V2 | Tracker LDO output | 3.3 V / 100 mA output tracking V1 ±20 mV; SPI-configurable via CR2.V2_TKR; reverse-bias protected. |
| OUT1–OUT4 | High-side driver outputs | Four independent 0.14 A HS switches with RON = 7 Ω, PWM control, current monitoring (via CM), and open-load diagnosis. |
| CAN_H / CAN_L | CAN-FD differential bus I/O | ISO 11898-2-compliant physical layer with bus failure detection, local fault reporting, and VCANSUP supply flexibility. |
| DIAGN | Fault signaling output | Active-low open-drain error indicator - asserts on thermal warning, regulator failure, watchdog timeout, or output fault. |
| NINT | Interrupt output | Push-pull signal indicating errors, warnings, or wake-up events (WU1/WU2/CAN/timer); configurable mask via SPI. |
| WU1 / DIR/WU2 | Wake-up inputs | Static/cyclic contact monitoring inputs; WU2 doubles as direct HS drive enable (DIR mode) for synchronized output control. |
| CM | Current monitor multiplexer | Analog output sourcing scaled current image of selected HS driver (OUT1–OUT4); enables real-time load monitoring without external shunts. |
| CLK / DI / DO / CSN | SPI interface | ST-standard 32-bit SPI (ST-SPI) for configuration, status readback, and diagnostic register access; supports daisy-chaining. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual LDO architecture with tracking | V1 fixed 5 V for MCU/CAN; V2 tracks V1 at 3.3 V ±20 mV - eliminates need for external tracking IC and reduces BOM count. |
| Integrated CAN-FD PHY | Full ISO 11898-2/2016 compliance with bus/local failure diagnosis - enables robust vehicle network communication without discrete transceiver. |
| Programmable wake-up system | Cyclic sensing on WU1/WU2 + periodic timer wake - supports low-power always-on functions in BCM/gateway applications. |
| Fault-resilient HS drivers | Four drivers with RON = 7 Ω, open-load detection, overcurrent shutdown, and current monitor output - simplifies LED/sensor interface design. |
| ASIL-aware diagnostics | Window watchdog, programmable reset generator, thermal warning/shutdown, and latched fault registers - supports functional safety development per ISO 26262. |

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 | Same QFN32L package and pinout; includes LIN transceiver (ISO 17987-4) in addition to CAN-FD - not present in SPSB081C5-TR. | Required where LIN bus communication is needed alongside CAN-FD (e.g., door module with LIN mirror control). | Select SPSB0815-TR only if LIN interface is mandatory; otherwise SPSB081C5-TR offers identical power management with lower cost and footprint. |
| TLE9261-2QX | Infineon 32-pin HVPQFN; dual 5 V/3.3 V LDOs, 4× HS drivers, CAN FD, but no integrated current monitor (CM) or DIR/WU2 dual-function pin. | Used in HVAC and lighting modules where analog current feedback is not required and wake-up flexibility is less critical. | Choose TLE9261-2QX when leveraging Infineon's ecosystem or needing higher peak HS current (0.35 A vs. 0.14 A); avoid if CM-based diagnostics are essential. |
Compared with SPSB0815-TR, the SPSB081C5-TR removes LIN to reduce complexity and cost while retaining full CAN-FD and power management capability; versus TLE9261-2QX, it provides finer-grained diagnostics (CM, DIR/WU2) and tighter voltage tracking (±20 mV), better suited for ASIL-B–aligned designs requiring precise load monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for each high-side driver in SPSB081C5-TR?
Each of the four high-side drivers (OUT1–OUT4) supports a continuous output current of 0.14 A with RON = 7 Ω. This rating is validated under ambient temperatures up to +125 °C and includes built-in overcurrent shutdown and thermal foldback to prevent damage during sustained overload conditions.
Does SPSB081C5-TR support LIN communication?
No, SPSB081C5-TR does not integrate a LIN transceiver. Unlike SPSB0815-TR and SPSB0813-TR variants, the C5 version omits the LIN interface per its product configuration - it supports CAN-FD only (ISO 11898-2/2016, SAE J2284) and is intended for CAN-centric architectures.
How is V2 configured as a tracker of V1 in SPSB081C5-TR?
V2 is configured as a tracker by setting the V2_TKR bit (bit 6) in Control Register 2 (CR2) via SPI. When V2_TKR = 1, V2 outputs 3.3 V tracking V1 ±20 mV; this mode is only valid when V1 is set to 5 V (as on SPSB081C5-TR), per Table 6 in DS14048 Rev 3.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented in SPSB081C5-TR?
The device implements two-tier thermal protection: a warning threshold (TW = 140–160 °C) that asserts DIAGN and sets status bits, and dual shutdown thresholds (TSD1 = 165–185 °C, TSD2 > TSD1) that disable outputs progressively. After TSD2, V1 shuts down and wake-up sources are disabled until automatic restart succeeds or VBAT_standby mode activates.
