VNI8200XP-32
Description
The VNI8200XP-32 is a monolithic 8-channel driver featuring a very low supply current,
with integrated SPI interface and high efficiency 100 mA micropower step-down switching
regulator peak current control loop mode. The IC, realized in STMicroelectronics
VIPower™ technology, is intended to drive any kind of load with one side connected to
ground.
Active channel current limitation combined with thermal shutdown, independent for each
channel, and automatic restart, protect the device against overload.
Additional embedded functions are: loss of GND protection that automatically turns off the
device outputs in case of ground disconnection, undervoltage shutdown with hysteresis,
Power Good diagnostic for valid supply voltage range recognition, output enable function
for immediate power outputs ON/OFF, and programmable watchdog function for
microcontroller safe operation; case overtemperature protection to control the IC case
temperature.
The device embeds a four-wire SPI serial peripheral with selectable 8 or 16-bit operations;
through a select pin the device can also operate with a parallel interface.
Both the 8-bit and 16-bit SPI operations are compatible with daisy chain connection.
The SPI interface allows command of the output driver by enabling or disabling each
channel featuring, in 16-bit format, a parity check control for communication robustness. It
also allows the monitoring of the status of the IC signaling Power Good, overtemperature
condition for each channel, IC pre-warning temperature detection.
Built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip from overtemperature and short-circuit. In
overload condition, the channel turns OFF and ON again automatically after the IC
temperature decreases below a threshold fixed by a temperature hysteresis so that junction
temperature is controlled. If this condition makes case temperature reaching case
temperature limit, TCSD, overloaded channels are turned OFF and restart, nonsimultaneously, when case and junction temperature decrease below their own reset
threshold. If the case of thermal reset, the channels loaded are not switched on until the
junction temperature reset event. Non-overloaded channels continue to operate normally.
Case temperature above TCSD is reported through the TWARN open drain pin.
An internal circuit provides a not latched common FAULT indicator reporting if one of the
following events occurs: channel OVT (overtemperature), parity check fail. The Power
Good diagnostic warns the controller that the supply voltage is below a fixed threshold.
The watchdog function is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault of the host
controller. The watchdog circuitry generates an internal reset on expiry of the internal
watchdog timer. The watchdog timer reset can be achieved by applying a negative pulse
on the WD pin. The watchdog function can be disabled by the WD_EN dedicated pin. This
pin also allows the programming of a wide range of watchdog timings.
An internal LED matrix driver circuitry (4 rows, 2 columns) allows the detection of the status
of the single outputs. An integrated step-down voltage regulator provides supply voltage to
the internal LED matrix driver and logic output buffers and can be used to supply the
external optocouplers if the application requires isolation. The regulator is protected against
short-circuit or overload conditions thanks to pulse-by-pulse current limit with a peak
current control loop.

Fault indication
The FAULT pin is an open drain active low fault indication pin. This pin is activated by
one or more of the following conditions:
Channel overtemperature (OVT)
This pin is activated when at least one of the channels is in junction overtemperature.
Unlike the SPI fault detection bits, this signal is not latched: the FAULT pin is low only
when the fault condition is active and is released if the input driving signal is OFF or after
the OVT protection condition has been removed. This last event occurs if the channel
temperature decreases below the threshold level and the case temperature has not
exceeded TCSD or is below TCR. This means that the FAULT pin is low only while the
junction overtemperature is active (T J > TTSD) and is released after this condition has
been removed (TJ < TR and TC < TCR).
Parity check fail
When SPI mode is used (SEL2 = H), if a parity check fault of the incoming SPI frame is
detected or counted, CLK rising edges are different by a multiple of 8, the FAULT pin is

kept low. When counted CLK rising edges are a multiple of 8 and parity check is valid, the
FAULT pin is kept high.

Power Good ( PG )
The PG terminal is an open drain, which indicates the status of the supply voltage. When
VCC supply voltage reaches the Vsth1 threshold, PG goes into a high impedance state. It
goes into a low impedance state when VCC falls below the Vsth2 threshold.
In 16-bit SPI mode, a PG bit is also available. This bit is set high when the Power Good
diagnostic is active, it is otherwise cleared.

Programmable watchdog counter reset (WD)
If SEL2 = H, the VNI8200XP-32 embeds a watchdog counter that must be erased, with a
negative pulse on the WD pin, before it expires. If the WD counter elapses, the
VNI8200XP-32 goes into an internal reset state where all the outputs are disabled; to
restart normal operation a negative pulse must be applied to the WD pin.
The watchdog enable/disable pin should be connected through an external divider to V REG.
The watchdog time is fixed in the following table:

8-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = L)
If SEL2 = H, the 8-bit SPI mode is based on an 8-bit command frame sent from the
microcontroller to the IC; each bit directly drives the corresponding output where LSB
drives output 0 and MSB drives output 7. Each bit, set to ‘1’, activates (closes) the
corresponding output.
At the same time, the IC transfers the channel fault conditions (OVT) to the microcontroller.
These fault conditions are latched at the occurrence and cleared after each communication
(each time the SS signal has a positive transition). Each bit, set to ‘1’, indicates an OVT
condition for the corresponding channel.

16-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = H)
The 16-bit SPI mode is based on a 16-bit command frame sent from the microcontroller to
the IC; the first 8 bits directly drive the output channels (each bit, set to ‘1’, activates the
corresponding output), the other 8 bits contain a 4-bit parity check code where the last bit
(the inversion of the previous one) is used to detect a communication error condition
(providing at least a transition in each frame):
P0 = IN0 +IN1+ IN2 +IN3 +IN4+ IN5+ IN6 +IN7
P1 = IN1 + IN3 + IN5 + IN7
P2 = IN0 + IN2 + IN4 + IN6

At the same time, the IC transfers to the microcontroller a 16-bit fault frame where the first

the DC-DC regulation: at the DC-DC turn-on, this bit is low and becomes high after FB
rises above 90% of the nominal VFB voltage and a correct SPI communication occurred. If
the FB voltage falls below 80% of the nominal VFB voltage, this bit is zero; TWARN (IC
warning case temperature), PC (parity check fail, the bit, set to ‘1’, indicates a PC fail or the
length is not a multiple of 8) and PG (Power Good, see Section 9.10: "Power Good

LED driving array
The LED driving array carries out the status of the output channels (ON or OFF).
Figure 9: LED driving array
The following equation is an indication how to choose the Rext resistor value:
Rext= (VCOLmin.) - (VROWmax.)- VF(LED) / IF(LED)
where IF(LED) ≤ 7 mA and (VCOL min.) and (VROW max.) can be found in Table 11: "LED
driving array" and VF(LED) and IF(LED) depend on the electrical characteristics of the LEDs.

Step-down switching regulator

VNI8200XP-32
Step-down switching regulator
The IC embeds a high efficiency 100 mA micropower step-down switching regulator. The
regulator is protected against short-circuit or overload conditions. Pulse-by-pulse current
limit regulation is obtained in normal operation through a current loop control.
A low ESR output capacitor connected to the VREG pin helps to limit the regulated voltage
ripple; a low ESR (less than 10 mΩ) capacitor is preferable. The control loop pin FB allows
3.3 V to be regulated, connecting it directly to VREG, or 5 V connecting it through a voltage
divider Rl/Rfbl. The DC-DC converter can be turned off by connecting the feedback pin to
the DCVDD pin. In some applications it is possible to supply a 5 V or 3.3 V voltage
externally or, in the case of two or more VNI8200XP-32 inside the same board, it's possible
to configure the DC-DC converter on only one device and also supply the other ICs.
if the DC-DC converter is adjusted to provide 3.3 V regulation and the VDC_out is used to
power an external load and not the device, a 33 kΩ resistor has to be connected on V DC_out
pin.

Thermal management
The power dissipation in the IC is the main factor that sets the safe operating condition of
the device in the application. Therefore, it must be taken into account very carefully.
Heatsinking can be achieved using copper on the PCB with proper area and thickness. The
following image shows the junction-to-ambient thermal impedance values for the
PowerSSO-36 package.
Figure 13: PowerSSO-36 thermal impedance vs. time
For instance, three cases have been considered using a PowerSSO-36 packaged with
copper slug soldered on a 1.6 mm thickness FR4 board with dissipating footprint (copper
thickness of 70 µm):
