1. Description
The ATA6829 is a fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS tech-
nology. It is used to control up to six different loads by a microcontroller in automotive
and industrial applications.
Each of the three high-side and three low-side drivers is capable to drive currents up
to 1.5A. Each driver is freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a
standard serial data interface. Therefore, all kinds of loads such as bulbs, resistors,
capacitors and inductors can be combined. The IC design especially supports the
applications of H-bridges to drive DC motors. The capability to control each output
with an external PWM signal opens additional applications.
Protection is guaranteed regarding short-circuit conditions, overtemperature and
undervoltage. Various diagnostic functions and a very low quiescent current in
stand-by mode opens a wide range of applications. Automotive qualification (protec-
tion against conducted interferences, EMC protection and 2-kV ESD protection) gives
added value and enhanced quality for exacting requirements of automotive
applications.

Function
Ground; reference potential; internal connection to pin 9 and pin 16; connection to heat slug
Low-side driver output 1; power MOS open drain with internal reverse diode; short-circuit protection;
overtemperature protection; diagnosis for short and open load; PWM ability
Low-side driver output 3; see pin 2
High-side driver output 3; power MOS open source with internal reverse diode; short-circuit protection;
overtemperature protection; diagnosis for short and open load; PWM ability
Chip select input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull up;
low = serial communication is enabled, high = disabled
Serial data input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull down; receives serial data from the control
device; DI expects a 16-bit control word with LSB being transferred first
Serial clock input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull down; controls serial data input interface
and internal shift register (f
max
= 2 MHz)
PWM input; 5-V CMOS logic level input with internal pull down; receives PWM signal to control outputs
which are selected for PWM mode by the serial data interface, high = outputs on, low = outputs off
Ground; see pin 1
Serial data output; 5-V CMOS logic-level tri-state output for output (status) register data; sends 16-bit
status information to the microcontroller (LSB is transferred first); output will remain tri-stated unless
device is selected by CS = low, therefore, several ICs can operate on one data-output line only.

3. Functional Description
3.1
Serial Interface
Data transfer starts with the falling edge of the CS signal. Data must appear at DI synchronized
to CLK and are accepted on the falling edge of the CLK signal. LSB (bit 0, SRR) has to be trans-
ferred first. Execution of new input data is enabled on the rising edge of the CS signal. When CS
is high, pin DO is in tri-state condition. This output is enabled on the falling edge of CS. Output
data will change their state with the rising edge of CLK and stay stable until the next rising edge
of CLK appears. LSB (bit 0, TP) is transferred first.
