Triple Half-Bridge Driver
with SPI Control
NCV7703C
The NCV7703C is a fully protected Triple Half−Bridge Driver
designed specifically for automotive and industrial motion control
applications. The three half−bridge drivers have independent control.
This allows for high side, low side, and H−Bridge control. H−Bridge
control provides forward, reverse, brake, and high impedance states
(with EN = 0). The drivers are controlled via a standard Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI).

SPI Communication
Frame Detection
Standard 16−bit communication has been implemented to
this IC to turn drivers on/off, and to report faults. (See
Figure 12). The LSB (Least Significant Bit) is clocked in
first.
Input word integrity (SI) is evaluated by the use of a frame
consistency check. The word frame length is compared to an
h x 16 bit acceptable word length before the data is latched
into the input register. This guarantees the proper word
length has been imported and allows for daisy chain
operation applications.
The frame length detector is enabled with the CSB falling
edge and the SCLK rising edge.
SCLK must be low during the CSB rising edge. The fault
register is cleared with a valid frame detection. Existing
faults are re−latched after the fault filter time.
Communication is Implemented as Follows:
1. CSB goes low to allow serial data transfer.
2. A 16 bit word is clocked (SCLK) into the SI
(Serial Input) pin.
3. CSB goes high to transfer the clocked in
information to the data registers.
NOTE: SO is tristate when CSB is high.
Frame detection starts
after the CSB falling edge
and the SCLK rising edge.
Frame detection mode ends with
CSB rising edge.

communication between SPI compatible IC’s is possible by
connection of the Serial Output pin (SO) to the input of the
sequential IC (SI) (Reference the Daisy Chain Section).

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
Power Up/Down Control
The NCV7703C Triple Half Bridge Driver provides drive
capability for 3 Half−Bridge configurations. Each output
drive is characterized for a 500 mA load and has a typical
1.4 A surge capability. Strict adherence to integrated circuit
die temperature is necessary, with a maximum die
temperature of 150°C. This may limit the number of drivers
enabled at one time. Output drive control and fault reporting
are handled via the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) port.
An Enable function (EN) provides a low quiescent sleep
current mode when the device is not being utilized. A pull
down is provided on the EN, SI and SCLK inputs to ensure
they default to a low state in the event of a severed input
signal. A pull−up is provided on the CSB input disabling SPI
communication in the event of an open CSB input.
A feature incorporated in the IC is an under voltage
lockout circuit that prevents the output drivers from turning
on unintentionally. VCC and VS are monitored for
undervoltage conditions supporting a smooth turn−on
transition. All drivers are initialized in the off (high
impedance) condition, and will remain off during a VCC or
VS undervoltage condition. This allows power up
sequencing of VCC, and VS up to the user. Once VCC is above
the Power−On−Reset threshold, SPI communication can
begin regardless of the voltage on VS. The VS supply input
does not ever affect the SPI logic. However, drivers will
remain off if VS is in an undervoltage condition. Hysteresis
in both VCC and VS circuits results in glitch free operation
during power up/down.

Overvoltage Shutdown (Table 2)
to “1”, all outputs will turn off during this overvoltage
condition. Turn On/Off status is maintained in the logic
circuitry, so that when proper input voltage level is
reestablished, the programmed outputs will turn back on.
The PSF output bit is reset with SRR = 1.
Overvoltage lockout circuitry monitors the voltage on the
VS pin. The response to an overvoltage condition is selected
by SPI input bit 15. PSF output bit 15 is set when a VS
overvoltage condition exists. If input bit 15 (OVLO) is set

H−Bridge Driver Configuration
Detection shutdown protects the device during current limit
because the Overcurrent threshold is below the Current
Limit threshold. The Overcurrent Detection Shutdown
Control Timer is initiated at the Overcurrent Shutdown
Threshold which starts before the Current Limit is reached.
Note: High currents will cause a rise in die temperature.
Devices will not be allowed to turn on if the die temperature
exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature.
The NCV7703C has the flexibility of controlling each half
bridge driver independently. This allows for high side, low
side and H−bridge control. H−bridge control provides
forward, reverse, brake and high impedance states.
Overvoltage Clamping − Driving Inductive Loads
Each output is internally clamped to ground and VS by
internal freewheeling diodes. The diodes have ratings that
complement the FETs they protect. A flyback event from
driving an inductive load causes the voltage on the output to
rise up. Once the voltage rises higher than VS by a diode
voltage (body diode of the high−side driver), the energy in
the inductor will dissipate through the diode to VS. If a
reverse battery diode is used in the system, care must be
taken to insure the power supply capacitor is sufficient to
dampen any increase in voltage to VS caused by the current
flow through the body diode so that it is below 40 V.
Negative transients will momentarily occur when a
high−side driver driving an inductive load is turned off. This
will be clamped by an internal diode from the output pin
(OUT1 or OUT2) to the IC ground.
Shoot−Through Attempt
The NCV7703C provides detection for attempting to turn
on common drivers of the same channel (OUTL1&OUTH1,
OUTL2&OUTH2, OUTL3&OUTH3) simultaneously. An
attempt to turn on common drivers if allowed would result
in a high current event from VS to GND. Any attempt to
create this setup is recorded in bit 12 of the output data and
forces the common high−side and low−side driver to an off
state. The STA output bit is reset with SRR = 1. The STA bit
must be cleared before an affected driver can turn on.
Overcurrent Shutdown
Effected outputs will turn off when the Overcurrent
Shutdown Threshold has been breached for the Overcurrent
Shutdown Delay Time. The respective OCDR status bit will
be set to a “1” and the driver will latch off. The driver can
only be turned back on via the SPI port with a SPI command
that includes an SRR = 1.
Note: High currents will cause a rise in die temperature.
Devices will not be allowed to turn on if the die temperature
exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature.
Current Limit
OUTx current is limited per the Current Limit electrical
parameter for each driver. The magnitude of the current has
a minimum specification of 2 A at VCC = 5 V and Vs =
13.2 V. The output is protected for high power conditions
during Current Limit by thermal shutdown and the
Overcurrent Detection shutdown function. Overcurrent

Overcurrent Detection Shut Down Control Timer
There are two protection mechanisms for output current,
overcurrent and current limit.
1. Current limit − Always active with a typical
threshold of 3 A (typ).
2. Overcurrent Detection − Selectable shutdown time
via Bit 13 with a 1.45 A (typ) threshold.
Figure 13 shows the typical performance of a part which
has exceeded the 1.45 A (typ) Overcurrent Detection
threshold and started the shutdown control timer. When Bit
13 = 1, the shutdown time is 25 msec (typ). When Bit 13 =
0, the shutdown time is 200 msec (typ).
Once an Overcurrent Shutdown Delay Time event has
been detected by the NCV7703C, the timer setting cannot be
interrupted by an attempted change via a SPI command of
Bit 13.

UnderLoad Detection (Table 5)
under load occurs in another channel after the global timer
has been started, the delay for any subsequent under load
will be the remainder of the initially started timer. The timer
runs continuously with any persistent under load condition
and will impact multi−underload situations. The under load
detect bit is reset by setting input data bit 0, SRR = 1. Figures
14 and 15 highlight the timing conditions for an underload
state where the global timer is reset (discontinuous time) and
the conditions where the global timer is not reset
(continuous time).
The underload detection circuit monitors the current from
each output driver. A minimum load current (this is the
maximum open circuit detection threshold) is required when
the drivers are turned on. If the under−load detection
threshold has been detected continuously for more than the
under−load delay time, the ULDR bit (output bit #14) will
be set to a “1”. In addition, the offending driver will be
latched off if input Bit 14 (ULDSD) is set to 1 (true).
The NCV7703C uses a global under load timer. An under
load condition starts the global under load delay timer. If
