Overview
Features
PG-DSO-20-65
PG-DSO-20-71
Functional Description
The TLE8209-2 is a SPI programmable H-bridge, designed for the control of DC motors in safety critical
automotive applications. It features four selectable current ranges, two selectable slew rate settings and extensive
diagnosis via SPI. The device monitors the digital supply voltage VDD and shuts down the output stages in case of
VDD over- or undervoltage, thus providing a safe switch off path in case of malfunction of the digital control circuitry.
In order to reduce power dissipation in extreme thermal conditions the current limitation threshold is reduced
linearly for junction temperatures over 165C. A thermal warning bit is set in the SPI.
The two half bridges can also be used independently to drive two separate loads like solenoids or unidirectional
DC motors.

Power Supply
Power Supply
5.1
The TLE8209-2 has three different supply pins: VDD, VS and VDDIO. VDD is used to supply the internal logic
circuitry. VS connects to battery voltage and supplies the output stages. The voltage at pin VDDIO defines the high
level output voltage at the pin SO of the SPI interface. VDDIO is also used as a mode select pin. If VDDIO is
connected to ground, the device is set to status flag mode (SPI inactive).
On power up the device will enter a functional state when VDD rises above the functional reset threshold VDD_RES.
In this state all output stages are inactive and internal registers are cleared. When VDD rises further above the
power on reset threshold VDD_POR the device starts operation with a delay time of tPOR.
5.2
VDD Monitoring
The logic supply voltage level at the pin VDD is monitored. If the voltage at pin VDD is out of the permissible range
of VDD_L VDD_H the power stages of TLE8209-2 are switched off and pin ABE is pulled to ground. To suppress
glitches in the VDD monitoring, a glitch filter is implemented.VDD is measured with reference to pin GNDABE. The
state of VDD monitoring is stored in STATCON_REG and can be read out via SPI.
The output stages can also be turned off by pulling the ABE pin to ground externally.
In case of VDD failure, the output stages are switched off, even if the pin ABE should be connected to a high level
signal because of external short circuit to VDD or battery voltage (up to 18V). OUT1 and OUT2 cannot be switched
on in over- or undervoltage condition, switching off is always possible. A power on reset (VDD < VDD_POR) switches
off all stages without delay.
Control of VDD-monitoring is possible in SPI mode only. Detailed information (differentiation of over and undervoltage detection) is only possible by SPI interface.
Behavior of VDD monitoring in SF mode:
- monitoring is present with the specified values for over- and undervoltage
- any test of over- and undervoltage threshold is not possible
- the latch for overvoltage is disabled
VDD Undervoltage
If the VDD voltage is lower than the supply voltage supervisory lower threshold (VDD_THL), output stages are shut
off after a filtering time (tFIL_OFF) and the bi-directional pin ABE is pulled low. At the transition from undervoltage to
normal voltage the signal at pin ABE goes high and the output stages will return to normal operation after a filtering
time (tFIL_ON) has expired. For output control via SPI the bits MUX and SINx in the config register have to be reprogrammed. New failures are not stored to diagnostic registers during undervoltage, register content remains
valid, writing new information to configuration registers is possible as far as they are not reset by ABE. If VDD falls
below the power-on-reset supply voltage (VDD_POR) all stages are shut off and ABE is switched active low. When
VDD is rising above the power-on-reset supply voltage threshold (VDD_POR) a power-on-reset is generated (tPOR),
setting all registers to its default state.
VDD Overvoltage
If the VDD voltage is higher than the supply voltage supervisory upper threshold (VDD_THH), all output stages are
shut off after a filtering time (tFIL_OFF) and the bi-directional pin ABE is pulled low. The behavior of the ABE level
and output stages on the return of VDD from overvoltage to the correct range is configured in STATCON_REG,
bit CONFIG0)
CONFIG0=1: ABE is latched and outputs remain off after overvoltage. Return to normal operation is only possible
with power-on reset or by changing this bit via SPI.
Data Sheet
10
TLE8209-2
Power Supply
CONFIG0=0: ABE is inactive after VDD returned to normal operating voltage and filtering time has expired.
At the transition from overvoltage to normal condition, the output stages will return to normal operation. For output
control via SPI the bits MUX and SINx in the config register have to be re-programmed. New failures are not stored
to diagnostic registers during overvoltage, register content remains valid, writing new information to configure
registers is possible as far as they are not reset by ABE.
VDD Monitoring Test Mode
Testing of VDD monitoring is possible in SPI mode only. The latch function for over voltage at VDD has to be
switched of (CONFIG0=0 in STATCON_REG)
Testing upper threshold:
By writing 00xxxxxxb into STATCON_REG, the overvoltage threshold is reduced to VDD_TEST_H.
STATCON_REG bit 2 and 0 have to be LOW then. After writing 1xxxxxxxb to STATCON_REG, bit 2 and 0 in
STATCON_REG must be HIGH again
Testing lower threshold:
By writing 01xxxxxxb into STATCON_REG, the undervoltage threshold is increased to VDD_TEST_L.
STATCON_REG bit 2 and 1 have to be LOW then. After writing 1xxxxxxxb to STATCON_REG, bit 2 and 1 in
STATCON_REG must be HIGH again.
5.3
The voltage at VDDIO is used to supply the output buffer at the SO pin (serial output of SPI-interface). The VDDIO
pin is also used to select SPI- or in status flag (SF) diagnostic mode. As soon as VDDIO is lower than VDDIO_L, the
device is put into status flag mode.

Logic Inputs and Outputs
The threshold specifications for the logic inputs are compatible to both 5 and 3.3 V standard CMOS microcontroller ports. All inputs (except ABE) feature internal pull-up current sources. The logic output SO is supplied
by VDDIO. VDDIO can be supplied with either 5 or 3.3 V, so the output thresholds of SO can be configured to the
required I/O voltage.

Power Stages
Power Stages
The TLE8209-2 contains four n-channel power-DMOS transistors that can be used in an H-bridge or in dual half
bridge configuration.
Integrated circuits protect the outputs against overcurrent and over-temperature, in case of short-circuit to ground,
to the supply voltage or across the load. Positive and negative voltage spikes, which occur when switching
inductive loads, are limited by integrated freewheeling diodes (body diodes of power-DMOS).
7.1
By default the setting of the power switches is controlled by the Inputs IN1, IN2 (parallel control). The outputs
OUT1 and OUT2 are set to High (high-side switch ON, low-side switch OFF) or Low (high-side switch OFF, lowside switch ON) by the parallel inputs IN1 and IN2, respectively. In SPI mode there is also the option to control the
outputs via the SPI bits SIN1 and SIN2 of the SPI configuration register. To switch to SPI control the bit MUX has
to be set to 0.
In addition, the outputs can be disabled (set to tristate, high- and low-side switch OFF) by the disable input DIS
and the bidirectional reset pin ABE. Disabling sets the device to parallel control
Table 1 shows the different options for the output control.
7.2
The IC can be set to H-bridge mode or single-switch mode by SPI. This setting changes the behavior of the device
in the following features:

Protection and Monitoring
Both output stages of the TLE8209-2 are equipped with fault diagnostic functions:
Short to battery voltage (SCB). Can be detected when low side-switches are turned on
Short to ground (SCG). Can be detected when high side-switches are turned on
Open load (OL). Can be detected in inactive mode
Over-temperature (OT). Can be detected in active and inactive mode
VDD over- and under voltage (Chapter 5.2)
Battery under voltage detection. Can be detected in active and inactive mode
Individual detection for each output in single switch operation mode (SCB, SCG, OL) is possible. The
corresponding diagnostics bits for each failure will be set in the SPI according to Table 8 Failure Encoding on
Page 31.
8.1
Instead of using the SPI interface for control and diagnosis of the TLE8209-2, the device can also be set into status
flag mode by connecting pin VDDIO to GND as described in Chapter 5.3.
In status flag mode the pin SF will be pulled low in the following cases:
undervoltage at VS
bridge disabled by ABE or DIS
bridge disabled by VDD monitoring
bridge disabled by short circuit detection
overtemperature shut down
SF will not be pulled low if VDD is below the power on reset threshold (VDD_POR).
8.2
Current Limitation
To limit the output current at low power loss, a chopper current limitation is integrated. Current measurement for
current limitation is done in the high side path. This requires high side freewheeling in case of active current
limitation.

Figure 10
Figure 10 shows the behavior of the current limitation for over current detection in HS1. It applies accordingly also
for HS2:
When the current in high-side switch of OUT1 (HS1) exceeds the limit IL longer than the blanking time tb, OUT2 is
switched to high (e.g. LS2->OFF, HS2->ON), independent of the input signal at IN2. This leads to a slow-decay
current decrease in the load and in HS1. As soon as the current falls below IL-Ihys, OUT2 is switched back to normal

operation, i.e. the outputs follow the inputs according to the truth table. The current limit IL can be programmed to
four different values by setting the SPI bits CL1 and CL2 in the SPI configuration register. To avoid high chopper
frequencies the time between two transients ttrans is limited.
Current limitation is available in H-bridge operation mode, not in single switch operation mode. This means, that
the current limit, current limit hysteresis and blanking time has no effect in single switch operation mode.
Note: Usage of current limitation level IL4 (8,6A typ.) is limited to the TLE8209-2SA in the 430 mil package.
8.3
For TILR < Tj < TSD the current limit decreases from IL as set by the SPI to IL_TSD = 2.5 A typ. as shown in

Protection and Monitoring
The short circuit to ground detection is activated when the current through one of the high side switches rises over
the threshold IOUK and remains higher than IOUK for at least the filter time tDF_H within the blanking time tb.
The output stage in which the short circuit was detected will be switched off within tDF_OFF.
In H-bridge mode also the other output will be switched off after a short delay of tDF_del .
In single switch mode only the affected output will be switched off.
8.5
A short circuit to battery is detected in the same way as a short circuit to ground, only in the low side switch instead
of the high side switch.
8.6
Short circuit over load is indicated by two failures - short circuit to ground on one output and short circuit to battery
on the other output. Both failure bits will be set in the SPI diagnostics register. Both output stages will be turned off.
8.7
Overtemperature
In case of high DC-currents, insufficient cooling or high ambient temperature, the chip temperature may rise above
the thermal shut-down temperature TSD (see Figure 11). In that case, all output transistors are turned off.
8.8
Undervoltage Shut-Down
If the supply voltage at the VS pins falls below the undervoltage detection threshold VUV_OFF, the outputs switches
are turned off. As soon as VS rises above VUV_ON again, the device is returning to normal operation.
8.9
Open load diagnosis is only possible if outputs are switched off by DIS or ABE. The diagnostic current sources are
deactivated in status flag mode. Diagnostic current sources are disconnected if outputs are active. That means
that the diagnostic current sources are also disconnected if the outputs are deactivated due to short circuit. The
open load detection in H-bridge mode is different from the open load detection in single switch mode.

TLE8209-2
SPI Interface
SPI Interface
The serial SPI interface establishes a communication link between TLE8209-2 and the systems microcontroller.
The TLE8209-2 always operates in slave mode whereas the controller provides the master function. The
maximum baud rate is 2 MBaud.
By applying an active slave select signal at SS the TLE8209-2 is selected by the SPI-master. SI is the data input
(Slave In), SO the data output (Slave Out). Via SCK (Serial Clock Input) the SPI-clock is provided by the master.
In case of inactive slave select signal (High) the data output SO goes into tristate.
The first two bits of an instruction may be used to establish an extended device-addressing. This gives the
opportunity to operate up to 4 Slave-devices sharing one common SS signal from the Master-Unit (see Figure 17).

1. During active reset conditions the SPI is driven into its default state. The output SO is set to high impedance
(tristate). When reset becomes inactive, the state machine enters into a wait state for the next instruction.
2. If the slave select signal at SS is inactive (high), the state machine is forced to wait for the following instruction.
3. During active (low) state of the select signal SS the falling edge of the serial clock signal SCK will be used to
latch the input data at SI. Output data at SO are driven with the rising edge of SCK. Further processing of the
data according to the instruction (i.e. modification of internal registers) will be triggered by the rising edge of
the SS signal.
4. In order to establish the option of extended addressing the upper two bits of the instruction byte (i.e. the first
two SI bits of a frame) are reserved to send a chip address. To avoid a bus conflict the output SO will remain
tristate during the addressing phase of a frame (i.e. until the address bits are recognized as a valid chip
Data Sheet
26
TLE8209-2
SPI Interface
address). If the chip address does not match, the according frame will be ignored and SO remains tristate for
the complete frame.
5. Verification byte: Simultaneously to the receipt of an SPI instruction the TLE8209-2 transmits a verification byte
via the output SO to the controller. This byte indicates regular or irregular operation of the SPI. It contains an
initial bit pattern and a flag indicating an invalid instruction of the previous access.
6. On a read access the data bits at the SPI input SI are rejected. During a valid write access the SPI will transmit
the data byte "00hex" at the output SO after having sent the verification byte.
7. An instruction is invalid if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
- an unused instruction code is detected (see tables with SPI instructions).
- the previous transmission is not completed in terms of internal data processing.
- the number of SPI clock pulses (falling edge) counted during active SS differs from exactly 16 clock pulses.
If an unused instruction code occurres, the data byte FFhex (no error) will be transmitted after having sent the
verification byte. This transmission takes place within the same SPI-frame that contained the unused
instruction byte.
If an invalid instruction is detected, bit TRANS_F in the following verification byte (next SPI-transmission) is set
to HIGH. The TRANS_F bit must not be cleared before it has been sent to the microcontroller.
9.2
SPI Communication
The 16 input bits consist of the SPI instruction byte and an input data byte. The 16 output bits consist of the
verification byte and the output data byte (see also Figure 16). The definition of these bytes is given in the
subsequent sections. The access mode of the registers is described in the column Type (r = read, w = write).

The upper 2 bit of the instruction byte contain the chip address. The chip address of the TLE8209-2 is 00. During
read access, the output data according to the register requested in the instruction byte are applied to SO within
the same SPI frame. That means, the output data corresponding to an instruction byte sent during one SPI frame
are transmitted to SO during the same SPI-frame

The ICs identifier (device ID) and revision number are used for production test purposes and features plug & play
functionality depending on the systems software release. The two numbers are read-only accessible via the SPIinstructions RD_ID and RD_REV as described in Section 9.2.1. The device ID is defined to allow identification of
different IC-types by software and is fixed for the TLE8209-2.
The revision number may be utilized to distinguish different states of hardware and is updated with each redesign
of the TLE8209-2. It is divided into an upper 4 bit field reserved to define revisions (SWR) corresponding to specific
software releases and a lower 4 bit field utilized to identify the actual mask set revision (MSR).

The bit ABE/DIS shows directly the status of inputs ABE and DIS. It is set to 0 if the power stages are disabled

The bits OT, CurrRed and CurrLim are latched. They will be reset with each read access. If the failure condition is
still present the according bits are set again.
Undervoltage at VS is reported and the outputs are switched off as long as the undervoltage condition is present.
The previous setting of the DIAx bits is masked but not reset. Once the supply voltage is back in the operating
range the diagnostic bits DIAxx will return to their setting before VS undervoltage. The outputs will return to normal
operation.
Detection of short circuit will switch of the output stages. In single half bridge operation only the affected output is
switched off. In H-Bridge mode both outputs are shut down. The outputs remain off until the failure condition is
removed and the diagnosis register is reset.
A short across the load may also be reported as SCG at one output and SCB at the other.
The diagnostic information DIAxx in the SPI interface is reset in the following cases:
