STMicroelectronics L9966
The L9966 is an automotive grade IC designed to be used as sensors interface. The L9966 allows replacing a number of discrete components and it gives the possibility to change the sensors across different applications without modifying the PCB hardware.FEATURES
● AEC-Q100 qualified● 12 V and 24 V systems compatible (operating battery supply voltage 5.5 V-36 V)
● Programmable interface with 15 total inputs: – 12 for connection to external analog loads (with connection to VVAR, VDD5 and clamped battery VPRE, with resistance measurement) ◦ 4 with also λ sensor functionality ◦ 4 with also SENT functionality – 3 for connection to external digital switches (with connection to VPRE)
● Programmable pull-up/down current sources
● Integrated precise resistance measurements
● 12-bit ADC for voltage measurements
● 15-bit ADC for resistance measurements
● Variable reluctance sensor / Hall sensor Interface
● 1 analog output channel + 4 digital output channels
● SPI interface for device configuration and data communication
● Overtemperature protection
● Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 3 K/W
DESCRIPTION
Up to 15 channels are available for analog sensing, resistance measurement and digital sensing (e.g. temperature, lambda, pressure, position sensors).
