Octal Configurable
Low/High Side Driver
The NCV7608 integrates 8 output drivers configurable in any
combination of highside, lowside, or HBridge configurations. The
integrated standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows digital
control of all output stages and provides diagnostic fault information.
In addition, four channels (#58) can be PWM controlled via external
control input pins.
Integrated clamping circuits (both in high and lowside operational
modes), waveshaping, positive and negative transient protection, and
dedicated channel pair overtemperature shutdown circuits provide for
a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Normal Operation
Power Outputs
The NCV7608 provides eight independent power
transistors with pins D1D8, and S1S8 as drain and source
outputs respectively. For Highside Drive configurations
(sourcing), the drain pins are connected to the battery supply.
In LowSide configurations (sinking), the drain pins are
connected to the load. All outputs may be configured as
highside, lowside, halfbridge, or Hbridge. Internal
clamping structures are provided to limit transient voltages
when switching inductive loads.
SPIInterface
The device provides a 16 bit SPIinterface. Data is
imported into the NCV7608 through the SI (serial input) pin.
Data is exported out of the NCV7608 through the SO (serial
output) pin. The inputframe (SI) is used to command the
output stages and program individual channel open load
diagnostics. The response frame (SO) provides
channelspecific (1bit / channel) status information and
fault information. See Table 1 for channel status decoding.
Words should be composed of 16 bits LSB (least significant
bit) transmitted first.

An output driver (Driver Status) fault is either open load,
over current, or over temperature.

Driver Enable (bits 07)
A zero turns the driver off.
A one turns the driver on.
Open Load Diagnostic (bits 815)
A zero programming bit disables the detection of an open
load condition.
A one programming bit enables the detection of an open load
condition.
Parallel Input (INx) State (bits 912)
The state of the parallel (PWM) input pins (Inx) are
mirrored to SPI output bits #912. When overcurrent or
thermal shutdown fault occurs, bits 9 through 12 record the
state of INx. This enables the user to distinguish an open load
fault from an over current fault when the NCV7608 is
operated from two isolated controllers for the SPI input and
the Parallel input.

Frame Detection
Input word integrity (SI) is evaluated by the use of a frame
consistency check. The word frame length is compared to an
n * 16 bit (where n is an integer) 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.

Channels 5, 6, 7, and 8 can be controlled via the serial port
(SPI) or via the respective parallel port input pins
(IN5IN8).
The SPI information is OR’d with the respective Parallel

Special attention should be paid to detection of over
current and open load conditions when operated in a pwm
mode. These faults are detected in a 100 ms (typ) time
window. Faults will not be detected at higher frequencies if
the time period of the input signal does not allow for 100 ms
detection time.

Fault Filters
The NCV7608 detects overtemperature, over current, VS
Power Supply and open load faults. Faults are reported in the
Output Data fault register. The fault filter timer for over
current or open load is 100 ms (typ). An over current or open
load event must exist for this period of time to be recognized.
There are eight fault timers, one dedicated to each driver for
use for both over current and open load. Thermal Warning,
Thermal Shutdown and VS Power Supply Fail each have
there own dedicated timers.
Open Load
Open Load conditions are detected in the off mode. See
“OFFMode Open Load Diagnostics” for details.
Over Current
The output current is limited in both highside and
lowside configuration. Over Current is detected in the turn
on mode. High power dissipation during over current can
cause overtemperature shutdown. Over Current is a latched
off event. Latching off a driver in over current is especially
useful in systems utilizing a hierarchical software
architecture whereby the microprocessor sends a command
(such as turning a device on when a short circuit exists) and
then proceeds to other focused microprocessor activity.
Eliminating an auto retry upon over current fault detection
scheme reduces IC stress by reducing the frequency of
attempts to turn back on.
Thermal Warning & Overtemperature Shutdown
Four independent Overtemperature shutdown circuits are
featured (one common sensor for each drive pair). Channels
are sequentially paired together with its own thermal
detection circuit as Channels 1 and 2, Channels 3 and 4,
Channels 5 and 6, and Channels 7 and 8. Each thermal
detection circuit senses two temperature levels, one to give
a Thermal Warning (145°C typ) (TW, bit = 0), and one to
shut the driver pair off (Overtemperature) at a higher
temperature 30°C above TW (175°C typ). When the thermal
detection circuit reaches the temperature point of Thermal
Warning, the output data bit 0 (TW) will be set to a 1, and the
outputs will remain on. Overtemperature events will be
recorded as faults to the offending Output Driver pair
NCV7608
http://onsemi.com
18
independently of the input state (serial or parallel).
Overtemperature shutdown is a latched event.
Since thermal warning precedes an overtemperature
shutdown, software polling of this bit will allow for load
control and possible prevention of overtemperature
shutdown conditions.
Thermal Warning Retrieval
Thermal warning information can be retrieved
immediately without performing a complete SPI access
cycle. Figure 26 below displays how this is accomplished.
Bringing the CSB pin from a 1 to a 0 condition immediately
displays the information on the output data bit 0, thermal
warning, even in the absence of a SCLK signal. As the
temperature of the NCV7608 changes from a condition from
below the thermal warning threshold to above the thermal
warning threshold, the state of the SO pin changes and this
level is available immediately when the CSB goes to 0. A 0
on SO indicates there is no thermal warning, while a 1
indicates the IC is above the thermal warning threshold.
Figure 26. Accessing Thermal Warning Bit
Power Supply Monitoring
Undervoltage shutdown
Both supply voltages (VCC and VS) are monitored for
undervoltage. When VCC goes below the threshold, all
outputs are turned OFF and the input and output registers are
cleared. An undervoltage condition on VS will cause all
channels to shut down. The fault bit (Bit #15) is latched in
the Output Data Register. The channels will return to the
commanded status after reaching operational VS levels
provided VCC UVLO is not breached. The SPI port remains
active during VS undervoltage within a valid VCC voltage.
Drivers are guaranteed to operate with automotive cranking
voltages down to 3 V on VS per the undervoltage shutdown
thresholds. Bit# 15 is cleared with a valid SPI frame and VS
within the operating limits.
Overvoltage shutdown
VS is continuously monitored for overvoltage conditions.
The threshold is set above automotive jump start conditions
allowing operation of the IC during jump start. The
minimum overvoltage threshold is 32 V. When VS goes
above the overvoltage threshold voltage, all outputs are
turned OFF. The fault bit (Bit #15) is latched in the Output
Data Register. Input and output registers maintain all
information. The channels will return to the commanded
status after reaching operational VS levels provided VCC
UVLO is not breached. The SPI port remains active during
VS overvoltage within a valid VCC voltage. Bit #15 is
cleared with any valid SPI frame and VS within the
operating limits.
OFFMode Open Load Diagnostics
Open load diagnostics are performed when the drivers are
off (provided the channel is programmed to perform the
operation via Bits #8 through #15). Open load diagnostics
are performed by connecting two tracking current sources
(IDIAGHSx and IDIAGLSx) to the corresponding outputs.
To support both operation modes (highside and lowside)
and provide minimum delay due to external capacitances,
both Drain and Source pin voltages of the device are
monitored to generate the diagnostic information. Channel
diagnostic information is directed to the output data register.
Open load diagnostics are disabled during VS undervoltage
or overvoltage events or when EN is low.
Figure 27 shows the NCV7608 open load diagnostics
principles.
Figure 28 shows the internal circuitry used with the device
set up as a lowside driver.
Figure 29 shows the internal circuitry used with the device
set up as a highside driver.

Open Load Diagnostic Performance
System design sometimes requires open load diagnostics
to be turned off to prevent unintended operation. Input Bits
815 control this function.
One application example would be driving LED’s.
Leaving the diagnostic circuitry turned on would result in
visible illumination of the LED’s because of the currents
used in open load detection. Open load detection may still be
utilized by testing at low time intervals.
Miscellaneous
Enable
A logic low on EN puts the device in a current saving
mode. Quiescent current (VCC) with EN low is less than
5 mA. A logic high on EN powers up the device allowing
operation through the parallel inputs (IN5...IN8). An
internal pulldown resistor is provided to ensure device
turnoff in the event the enable signal is lost.
A low on EN will result in a poweronreset to the logic.
All outputs will be shut off and all registers reset.
Loss of Ground
The NCV7608 output drivers will not be active during a
loss of ground condition. No damage to the device will occur
during this condition for VS less than or equal to 16 V.
Diagnostic Implementation
To provide maximum flexibility in using the device as an
HBridge driver, a current ratio between the HS and LS
diagnostic currents is implemented (the diagnostic source
current is always higher in magnitude than the diagnostic
NCV7608
http://onsemi.com
20
sink current). Equal diagnostic currents would result in
unpredictable results due to process variation.
Timing Information
Open Load
Open Load is reported if open load is enabled and an open
load fault exists.
Open Load is not a latched condition and is not reported
when drivers are on.
To be captured, Open Load must be present when CSB goes
low.

Over Current
Over current is reported if the drivers’ over current
detection threshold is breached.
The driver is latched off after 100 ms from the over current
detection.
To reset the driver status bit for over current, a valid SPI
frame with ENx = 0 is required. This will reset the driver
status bit and the driver can be turned back on in the next
valid SPI frame.

Thermal Warning and Thermal Shutdown
Thermal Warning is reported in bit #0 when the die
temperature goes above 145°C (typ)
and does not fall below 145°C (typ) – 30°C hysteresis
(typ). Thermal Warning is only sampled and reported when
CSB is low.
Thermal Shutdown will turn off the two drivers associated
with the thermal sensor when the die temperature is above
175°C (typ). The driver status bit will be latched.
The driver status is reset if the die temperature falls below
175°C (typ) – 30°C (typ) and a valid SPI frame with the
Driver(s) x Enable bit = 0. The driver(s) can then be turned
on in the next valid SPI frame with the Driver x Enable(s) =
