The input section is a high impedance differential stage with high common and differential
mode range. Built-in offset of +1.4 V (typical value) and a hysteresis of 400 mV (maximum
value) assure high noise immunity.

Diagnostic logic
The operating conditions of the device are permanently monitored and the following
occurrences are indicated by DIAG1/DIAG2 open drain output pins:
Short-circuit versus ground. A current limit circuit fixes Isc = 3.2 A (typical value) the

Circuit description
3.4
L6370Q
Short-circuit operation
In order to minimize the power dissipation when the output is shorted-to-ground, an
innovative, non-dissipative short-circuit protection (patent pending) is implemented,
avoiding the thermal protection.
Whenever the output is shorted-to-ground, or, an overcurrent is sinked by the load, the
output devices are driven to linear mode, sourcing the Isc current (3.2 A typ.) for a time
interval (tON) defined by the external CON capacitor connected between the ON-DELAY pin
and GND. If the short-circuit increases within the tON interval the DIAG2 output status is not
affected, acting as a programmable diagnostic delay.
This function allows the device to drive a capacitive load or a filament lamp (that exhibits a
very low resistance during the initial heading phase) without the diagnostic. If the shortcircuit lasts for the whole tON interval, the output DMOS is switched off and the DIAG2 goes
low, for a time interval tOFF lasting tON 64 times.
At the end of the tOFF interval if the short-circuit condition is still present, the output DMOS is
turned on (and the DIAG2 goes high - see Figure 7) for another tON interval and the
sequence starts again, otherwise, the normal condition operation is resumed.
The tON interval can be set to last between 64 ms and 2.56 ms for a CON capacitor value
ranging between 50 pF and 2 nF:
Equation 1
tON (μs) = 1.28 CON (pF)
If the ON-DELAY pin is grounded, the non-dissipative short-circuit protection is disabled and
the Isc current is delivered until the overtemperature protection shuts the device off. The
behavior of the DIAG2 output is, in this situation, showed in Table 7.
3.5
Overtemperature protection (OVT)
If the chip temperature exceeds lim (measured in a central position in the chip) the chip
deactivates itself.
The following actions are taken:
the output stage is switched off
the signal DIAG2 is activated (active low)
Normal operation is resumed as soon as (after some seconds) the chip temperature
monitored goes back below lim-th.
The different thresholds with hysteretic behavior assure that any intermittent condition can
be generated.
3.6
Undervoltage protection (UV)
The supply voltage is expected to range from 9.5 V to 35 V, even if its reference value is
24 V.
In this range, the device operates correctly. Below 9.5 V the overall system is not reliable.
12/17
DocID022313 Rev 3
L6370Q
Circuit description
Protection shuts off the output whenever the supply voltage falls below the mask fixed by
Vsth1(9 V typ.) and Vsth2 (8.5 V typ.).
The hysteresis (see Figure 4) assures a non-intermittent behavior at low supply voltage with
a superimposed ripple. The undervoltage status is indicated by the DIAG1 and DIAG2
outputs (see Table 7).
3.7
Demagnetization of inductive loads
An internal Zener diode, limiting the voltage across the power MOSFET between 50 and
60 V (Vcl), provides safe and fast demagnetization of inductive loads without external
clamping devices. The maximum energy that can be absorbed by an inductive load is
specified in Table 3.
