SCLK
The system clock pin (SCLK) clocks the internal shift registers of the L9823. The serial input
pin (SI) accepts data into the input shift register on the falling edge of the SCLK signal while
the serial output pin (SO) shifts data information out of the shift register on the rising edge of
the SCLK signal. False clocking of the shift register must be avoided to guarantee validity of
data. It is essential that the SCLK pin be in a logic low state whenever chip select bar pin
(CSB) makes any transition. For this reason, it is recommended though not necessary, that
the SCLK pin be kept in a low logic state as long as the device is not accessed (CSB in logic
high state). When CSB is in a logic high state, any signal at the SCLK and SI pin is ignored
and SO is tri-stated (high-impedance).
4
SI
This pin is for the input of serial instruction data. SI information is read in on the falling edge of
SCLK. A logic high state present on this pin when the SCLK signal rises will program a
specific output OFF, and in turn, turns OFF the specific output on the rising edge of the CSB
signal. Conversely, a logic low state present on the SI pin will program the output ON, and in
turn, turns ON the specific output on the rising edge of the CSB signal. To program the eight
outputs of the L9823 ON or OFF, an eight bit serial stream of data is required to be entered
into the SI pin starting with Output 7, followed by Output 6, Output 5, etc., to Output 0. For
each rise of the SCLK signal, with CSB held in a logic low state, a databyte instruction (ON or
OFF) is loaded into the shift register per the databyte SI state. The shift register is full after
eight bits of information have been entered. To preserve data integrity, care should be taken to
not transition SI as SCLK transitions from a low-to-high logic state.

Description
SO
The serial output (SO) pin is the tri-stateable output from the shift register. The SO pin
remains in a high impedance state until the CSB pin goes to a logic low state. The SO data
reports the drain status, either high or low. The SO pin changes state on the rising edge of
SCLK and reads out on the falling edge of SCLK. When an output is OFF and not faulted, the
corresponding SO databyte is a high state. When SO an output is ON, and there is no fault,
the corresponding databyte on the SO pin will be a low logic state. The SI / SO shifting of data
follows a first-in-first-out protocol with both input and output words transferring the Most
Significant Bit (MSB) first. The SO pin is not affected by the status of the Reset pin.
10
CSB
The system MCU selects the L9823 to be communicated with through the use of the CSB pin.
Whenever the pin is in a logic low state, data can be transferred from the MCU to the L9823
and vise versa. Clocked-in data from the MCU is transferred from the L9823 shift register and
latched into the power outputs on the rising edge of the CSB signal. On the falling edge of the
CSB signal, drain status information is transferred from the power outputs and loaded into the
device's shift register. The CSB pin also controls the output driver of the serial output pin.
Whenever the CSB pin goes to a logic low state, the SO pin output driver is enabled allowing
information to be transferred from the L9823 to the MCU. To avoid any spurious data, it is
essential that the high-to-low transition of the CSB signal occur only when SCLK is in a logic
low state.

SFPD
The Short Fault Protect Disable (SFPD) pin is used to disable the overcurrent latch-OFF. This
feature allows control of incandescent loads where in-rush currents exceed the device's
analog current limits. Essentially the SFPD pin determines whether the L9823 output(s) will
instantly shutdown upon sensing an output short or remain ON in a current limiting mode of
operation until the output short is removed or thermal shutdown is reached. If the SFPD pin is
tied to VDD the L9823 output(s) will remain ON in a current limited mode of operation upon
encountering a load short to supply. If the SFPD pin is grounded, a short circuit will
immediately shutdown only the output affected. Other outputs not having a fault condition will
operate normally.

Not Connected
The Reset pin is active low and used to clear the SPI shift register and in doing so sets all
output switches OFF. With the device in a system with an MCU; upon initial system power up,
the MCU holds the Reset pin of the device in a logic low state ensuring all outputs to be OFF
until the VDD pin voltages are adequate for predictable operation. After the L9823 is Reset,
the MCU is ready to assert system control with all output switches initially OFF. The Reset pin
is active low and has an internal pull-down incorporated to ensure operational predictability
should the external pull-down of the MCU open circuit. The internal pull-up is to afford safe
and easy interfacing to the MCU. The Reset pin of the L9823 should be pulled to a logic low
state for a duration of at least 160ns to ensure reliable Reset.
