80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
FEATURES AND BENEFITS  
DESCRIPTION  
The AMT49502 is an N-channel power MOSFET driver  
capable of controlling MOSFETs connected in a half-bridge  
arrangement and is specifically designed for automotive  
applicationswithhigh-powerinductiveloads,suchasbrushDC  
motors,BLDCmotors,VR/SRmotors,solenoids,andactuators.  
• Half-bridge MOSFET driver  
• Bootstrap gate drive for N-channel MOSFET bridge  
• Independent control of high-side and low-side gate drives  
with cross-conduction capability  
• Charge pump regulator for low supply voltage operation  
• 5.5 to 80 V supply voltage operating range  
• Integrated logic I/O supply  
• SPI-compatible serial interface  
• Bridge control by direct logic inputs or serial interface  
• Programmable gate drive  
Auniquechargepumpregulatorprovidesfullgatedriveoverthe  
fullsupplyvoltagerangefrom5.5to80Vformostapplications.  
A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above-battery  
supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs.  
EachMOSFETcanbe independentlycontrolledbylogic-level  
inputs or through the SPI-compatible serial interface. Fully  
independent control allows both external FETs to be turned  
on at the same time.  
• Current sense amplifier  
• Programmable diagnostics  
• A2SIL™ product—device features for  
safety-critical systems  
• AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified

-
Integrated diagnostics provide indication of multiple internal  
faults, system faults, and power bridge faults, and can be  
configured to protect the power MOSFETs under most short  
circuit conditions.  
In addition to providing full access to the bridge control, the  
serialinterfaceisalsousedtoalterprogrammablesettingssuch  
as VDS threshold and fault blank time. Detailed diagnostic  
information can be read through the serial interface.

AMT49502  
80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The AMT49502 is a half-bridge (H-bridge) MOSFET driver  
(pre-driver) requiring a single unregulated supply of 5.5 to  
80 V. It includes an integrated linear regulator to supply the  
internal logic. All logic inputs are compatible with 3.3 V logic  
(AMT49502KLPTR-3) or 5 V logic (AMT49502KLPTR-5)  
depending on part number selection.  
decoupled with ceramic capacitors connected close to the supply  
and ground terminals.  
VBRG: Sense input to the top of the external MOSFET bridge.  
Allows accurate measurement of the voltage at the drain of the  
high-side MOSFET in the bridge.  
CP1, CP2: Pump capacitor connection for charge pump. Con-  
nect a ceramic capacitor with a recommended nominal value of  
2.2 µF between CP1 and CP2. This should have a rated working  
voltage of at least 25 V and a tolerance of ±20% or better.  
The two high-current gate drives are capable of driving a wide  
range of N-channel power MOSFETs, and are configured as a  
half-bridge driver with one high-side drive and one low-side  
drive. The AMT49502 provides all necessary circuits to ensure  
that the gate-source voltage of both high-side and low-side exter-  
nal FETs are above 10 V, at supply voltages down to 7 V. For  
extreme battery voltage drop conditions, correct functional opera-  
tion is guaranteed at supply voltages down to 5.5 V, but with a  
reduced gate drive voltage.  
VREG: Regulated voltage, 11 V, used to supply the low-side gate  
drivers and to provide current for the above supply charge pump.  
A sufficiently large storage capacitor must be connected to this  
terminal to provide the required transient charging current.  
GND: Analog, digital, and power ground. Connect to supply  
Gate drives can be controlled directly through the logic input ter-  
minals or through an SPI-compatible serial interface. Fully inde-  
pendent control allows both external FETs to be turned on at the  
same time. All logic inputs, except RESETn, are standard CMOS  
levels and can be compatible with 3.3 V (AMT49502KLPTR-3)  
or 5 V (AMT49502KLPTR-5) logic outputs depending on part  
number selection. The logic inputs are battery voltage compliant,  
meaning they can be shorted to ground or supply without dam-  
age, up to the maximum battery voltage of 80 V.  
ground–see Layout Recommendations.  
C: High-side connection for the bootstrap capacitor and positive  
supply for the high-side gate driver.  
GH: High-side, gate-drive output for an external N-channel  
MOSFET.  
S: Source connection for high-side MOSFET providing the nega-  
tive supply connections for the floating high-side driver.  
GL: Low-side gate-drive output for an external N-channel MOS-  
FET.  
A low-power sleep mode allows the AMT49502, the power  
bridge, and the load to remain connected to a vehicle battery sup-  
ply without the need for an additional supply switch.  
LSS: Low-side return path for discharge of the capacitance on the  
low-side MOSFET gate, connected to the source of the low-side  
external MOSFET independently through a low-impedance track.  
The AMT49502 includes several diagnostic features to provide  
indication and/or protection against undervoltage, overtempera-  
ture, and power bridge faults. A single diagnostic output provides  
basic fault indication and detailed diagnostic information is avail-  
able through the serial interface. The serial interface also provides  
access to programmable fault blanking time and programmable  
VDS threshold for short detection.  
HS: Logic inputs with pull-down to control the high-side gate  
drive. Battery voltage compliant terminal.  
LSn: Logic input with pull-up to control the low-side gate drive.  
Active-low input. Battery voltage compliant terminal.  
The AMT49502 includes a low-side current sense amplifier  
with programmable gain and offset. The amplifier is specifically  
designed for current sensing in the presence of high voltage and  
current transients.  
ENABLE: Logic input to enable the gate drive outputs. Battery  
voltage compliant terminal.  
RESETn: Clears latched fault states that may have disabled the  
outputs when taken low for the reset pulse width, tRST. Forces  
low-power shutdown (sleep) when held low for more than the  
RESET shutdown time, tRSD. Battery voltage compliant terminal.  
Input and Output Terminal Functions  
VBB: Main power supply for internal regulators and charge  
pump. The main power supply should be connected to VBB  
through a reverse voltage protection circuit and should be

80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
terminals. This capacitor should have a nominal value of 2.2 µF,  
rated working voltage of at least 50 V, and a tolerance of ±20%  
or better. At supply voltage greater than 14 V, the pump regulator  
stops boosting and becomes a linear regulator.  
SDO: Serial data output. High impedance when STRn is high.  
Outputs bit 15 of the diagnostic register, the fault flag, as soon as  
STRn goes low.  
SCK: Serial clock logic input with pull-down. Data is latched  
in from SDI on the rising edge of SCK. There must be 16 rising  
edges per write and SCK must be held high when STRn changes.  
The regulated voltage, VREG, is available on the VREG terminal.  
A sufficiently large storage capacitor (see Applications section)  
must be connected to this terminal to provide the transient charg-  
ing current to the low side drivers and the bootstrap capacitors.  
STRn: Serial data strobe and serial access enable logic input  
with pull-up. When STRn is high, any activity on SCK or SDI  
is ignored and SDO is high impedance, allowing multiple SDI  
slaves to have common SDI, SCK, and SDO connections.  
Gate Drives  
The AMT49502 is designed to drive external, low on-resistance,  
power N-channel MOSFETs. It will supply the large transient  
currents necessary to quickly charge and discharge the external  
MOSFET gate capacitance in order to reduce dissipation in the  
external MOSFET during switching. The charge current for the  
low-side drive is provided by the capacitor on the VREG termi-  
nal. The charge current for the high-side drives is provided by  
the bootstrap capacitor connected between the C and S terminals.  
MOSFET gate charge and discharge rates may be controlled by  
setting a group of parameters via the serial interface or by using  
an external gate resistor between the gate drive output and the  
gate terminal of the MOSFET.  
CSP, CSM: Current sense amplifier inputs.  
CSO: Current sense amplifier output.  
OOS: Monitor point for programmable analogue output offset  
voltage applied to current sense amplifiers.  
DIAG: Diagnostic output. Provides general fault flag output.  
Power Supplies  
A single power supply voltage is required. The main power sup-  
ply, VBB, should be connected to VBB through a reverse voltage  
protection circuit. A 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor must  
be connected close to the supply and ground terminals.  
Operational Configurations  
A low power independent internal regulator provides the  
supply voltage, VDL, to the internal logic. A second integrated  
linear regulator provides the supply voltage, VIO, to all logic  
inputs and push-pull outputs. This digital I/O is set to 3.3 V  
(AMT49502KLPTR-3) or 5 V (AMT49502KLPTR-5).  
The high-side and low-side gate drives are completely indepen-  
dent. The AMT49502 permits any combination of active high-  
side and low-side MOSFETs and does not provide any lockout  
or internally generated dead time. This allows the AMT49502 to  
be used in a complemetary half-bridge configuration or to drive  
independent high-side and low-side MOSFETs.  
All internal logic is guaranteed to operate correctly to below the  
regulator undervoltage levels, ensuring that the AMT49502 will  
continue to operate safely until all logic is reset when a power-  
on-reset state is present.  
In a simple half-bridge configuration, this allows more precise  
control of the timing of the MOSFET switching. In some circum-  
stances, simultaneous activation of both high-side and low-  
side MOSFETs can be used to reduce diode conduction during  
synchronous rectification, which improves overall efficiency and  
reduces electromagnetic emissions. The precise timing and any  
required dead time must be provided by the external controller.  
The AMT49502 will operate within specified parameters with  
VBB from 7 to 80 V and will function correctly with a supply  
down to 5.5 V. This provides a rugged solution for use in the  
harsh automotive environment.  
An example of independent driving is to use one gate drive  
output as a PWM control and the other as an on-off control. For  
example, the low-side drive can be used to enable current flow  
through the load and the high-side drive can be used to provide  
PWM current control. This example is shown in Figure 7. The  
low-side MOSFET enables or disables the flow of current, and  
the high-side MOSFET is used with the low-side recirculation  
diode to provide PWM current control.  
Pump Regulator  
The gate drivers are powered by an internal regulator which  
limits the supply to the drivers and therefore the maximum gate  
voltage. This regulator uses a charge pump scheme with switch-  
ing frequency of 62.5 kHz. At low supply voltage, the regulated  
supply is maintained by a charge pump boost converter which  
requires a pump capacitor connected between the CP1 and CP2

If for any reason the bootstrap capacitor cannot be sufficiently  
ꢂꢃAꢄ  
charged, a bootstrap fault will occur—see Diagnostics section for  
further details.  
Note that when the AMT49502 is used in the configuration shown  
in Figure 7 with an inductive load, the bootstrap capacitor is  
charged in two ways depending on the current flowing in the load.

ꢅSP  
or  
ꢆꢀ  
When no current is flowing in the load, the high-side MOSFET  
will be off and the bootstrap capacitor can be charged directly  
through the load by turning on the low-side MOSFET. This pro-  
cedure should be followed before the first attempt to turn on the  
high-side MOSFET.  
ꢅiagnostics  
ꢀꢁrrent Sense  
When current is flowing in the load and is controlled by PWM  
switching the high-side MOSFET, the bootstrap capacitor is  
charged through the load during a PWM off time. During the  
PWM off time, the current will continue to flow through the load  
inductance, pulling the voltage at the S terminal to a negative  
value in order to forward bias the recirculation diode.  
Figure 7: PWM Load current control  
Note that in this configuration the low-side VDS monitor should  
be disabled by setting the LO bit to 1 in the Mask 1 register. This  
is necessary as the reference voltage for the drain of the low-side  
MOSFET is the S terminal, which will be pulled to the supply  
when the high-side MOSFET is on and will cause a false low-  
side VDS fault if the low-side VDS monitor is active.  
Top-Off Charge Pump  
If the high-side MOSFET is used as an enabling switch—for  
example, with a simple resistive load or when using low-side  
PWM switching—then once the MOSFET has been switched on,  
it will be held in the on state by an additional charge pump in the  
AMT49502 referred to as the “top-off” charge pump.  
Bootstrap Supply  
When the high-side drivers are active, the reference voltage for  
the driver will rise to close to the bridge supply voltage. The  
supply to the driver will then have to be above the bridge supply  
voltage to ensure that the driver remains active. This temporary  
high-side supply is provided by a bootstrap capacitor connected  
between the bootstrap supply terminal, C, and the high-side refer-  
ence terminal, S.  
The top-off charge pump will allow the high-side drive to  
maintain the gate voltage on the external MOSFET indefinitely  
if required. This is a low current trickle charge pump and is only  
operated after a high side has been turned on. A small amount of  
bias current is drawn from the C terminal to operate the floating  
high-side circuit and the charge pump simply provides enough  
drive to ensure the bootstrap voltage, and hence the gate voltage,  
will not droop due to this bias current.  
The bootstrap capacitor is independently charged to approxi-  
mately VREG when the associated reference S terminal is low.  
When the output swings high, the voltage on the bootstrap supply  
terminal rises with the output to provide the boosted gate voltage  
needed for the high-side N-channel power MOSFETs.  
In some applications, a safety resistor is added between the gate  
and source of each MOSFET in the bridge. When a high-side  
MOSFET is held in the on state, the current through the associ-  
ated high-side gate-source resistor (RGSH) is provided by the high  
side driver and therefore appears as a static resistive load on the  
top-off charge pump. The minimum value of RGSH for which the  
top-off charge pump can provide current, without dropping below  
the bootstrap undervoltage threshold, is defined in the Electrical  
Characteristics table.  
Bootstrap Charge Cycle Considerations  
The user must ensure that the bootstrap capacitor does not  
become discharged below the bootstrap undervoltage threshold,  
VBCUV, or a bootstrap fault will be indicated and the outputs  
disabled. This can happen if the S terminal is not low enough  
for a long enough period to charge the bootstrap capacitor—for  
example, when the PWM duty cycles is very high and the charge  
time for the bootstrap capacitor is insufficient to ensure a suffi-  
cient recharge to match the MOSFET gate charge transfer during  
turn on.  
In all cases, the charge required for initial turn-on of the high-side  
gate is always supplied by the bootstrap capacitor. If the bootstrap  
capacitor becomes discharged, the top-off charge pump alone will  
not provide sufficient current to allow the MOSFET to turn on.

AMT49502  
80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
High-Side Gate Drive  
Gate Drive Control  
A high-side gate-drive output for external N-channel MOSFETs is  
provided on the GH terminal. GH = 1 (or “high”) means that the  
upper half of the driver is turned on and its drain will source cur-  
rent to the gate of the high-side MOSFET in the external load-driv-  
ing bridge, turning it on. GH = 0 (or “low”) means that the lower  
half of the driver is turned on and its drain will sink current from  
the external MOSFET’s gate circuit to the S terminal, turning it off.  
MOSFET gate drives are controlled according to the values set in  
Config 6, 7, and 8 registers.  
MOSFET off-to-on transitions are controlled as detailed in Figure  
8a. When a gate drive is commanded to turn on a current, I1 (as  
defined by IR1[3:0]), is sourced on the GH or GL terminal for a  
duration, t1 (defined by TR[3:0]). These parameters should typically  
be set to quickly charge the MOSFET input capacitance to the start  
of the Miller region as drain-source voltage does not change during  
this period. Thereafter the current sourced on GH or GL is set to a  
value of I2 (as defined by IR2[3:0]) and remains at this value while  
the MOSFET transitions through the Miller region and reaches the  
fully on state. For low-side gate drives, the MOSFET fully on state  
is defined as the voltage on GL gate drive output rising to a value  
within 1 V(typ) of VREG. For the high-side gate drives the MOSFET  
fully on state is defined as the voltage on GH gate drive output ris-  
ing to a value within 1 V(typ) of the C terminal. I2 should be set to  
achieve the required input capacitance charge time. Once in the fully  
on state, the GH or GL output switches from current to voltage drive  
to hold the MOSFET in the on state.  
The reference point for the high-side drive is the load connections,  
S. This terminal senses the voltage at the load connections. This  
terminal is also connected to the negative side of the bootstrap  
capacitor and is the negative supply reference connections for the  
floating high-side driver. The discharge current from the high-side  
MOSFET gate capacitance flows through these connections which  
should have low-impedance traces to the MOSFET bridge.  
Low-Side Gate Drive  
The low-side gate-drive output on GL is referenced to the LSS  
terminal. This output is designed to drive an external N-channel  
power MOSFET. GL = 1 (or “high”) means that the upper half of  
the driver is turned on and its drain will source current to the gate  
of the low-side MOSFET in the external power bridge, turning it  
on. GL = 0 (or “low”) means that the lower half of the driver is  
turned on and its drain will sink current from the external MOS-  
FET’s gate circuit to the LSS terminal, turning it off.  
If the values of IR1[3:0] and IR2[3:0] are set to 0, GH or GL  
produces maximum drive to turn on the MOSFET as quickly as  
possible without attempting to control the MOSFET input capaci-  
tance charge time (Figure 8b). The value of TR[3:0] has no effect  
on switching speed.  
The LSS terminal provides the return path for discharge of the  
capacitance on the low-side MOSFET gate. This terminal is  
connected independently to the source of the low-side external  
MOSFETs through a low-impedance track.  
MOSFET on-to-off transitions are controlled as detailed in Figure  
8c. When a gate drive is commanded to turn off a current, I1  
(as defined by IF1[3:0]), is sunk by the GH or GL terminal for  
a duration, t1 (defined by TF[3:0]). These parameters should  
typically be set to quickly discharge the MOSFET input capaci-  
tance to the start of the Miller region as drain-source voltage  
does not change during this period. Thereafter, the current sunk  
by GH or GL is set to a value of I2 (as defined by IF2[3:0]) and  
remains at this value while the MOSFET transitions through the  
Miller region and reaches the fully off state. For the low-side  
gate drives, the MOSFET fully off state is defined as the voltage  
on the GL gate drive output falling to a value within 1 V(typ)  
of LSS. For the high-side gate drives, the MOSFET fully off  
is defined as the voltage on the GH gate drive output falling  
to a value within 1 V(typ) of the S terminal. I2 should be set to  
achieve the required MOSFET input capacitance discharge time.  
Once in the fully off condition, the GH or GL output switches  
An integrated slew control feature allows the MOSFET gate  
charge and discharge rates to be controlled via the serial interface  
as detailed in the Gate Drive Control section.  
Either the internal slew control or an external resistor between  
the gate drive output and the gate connection to the MOSFET (as  
close as possible to the MOSFET) can be used to control the slew  
rate seen at the gate, thereby controlling the di/dt and dv/dt of the  
voltage at the S terminal.  
Gate Drive Passive Pull-Down  
Each gate drive output includes a discharge circuit to ensure that  
any external MOSFET connected to the gate drive output is held  
off when the power is removed. This discharge circuit appears as  
950 kΩ between the gate drive and the source connections for each from current to voltage drive to hold the MOSFET in the off  
MOSFET. It is only active when the AMT49502 is not driving the  
state. If the values of IF1[3:0] and IF2[3:0] are set to 0, GH or  
output to ensure that any charge accumulated on the MOSFET gate GL produces maximum drive to turn off the MOSFET as quickly  
has a discharge path even when the power is not connected.

Logic Control Inputs  
Two logic level digital inputs provide direct control for the gate  
drives, one for each drive. These are standard CMOS levels refer-  
enced to the voltage of the logic I/O regulator. All have a typical  
hysteresis of 500 mV to improve noise performance. Each input  
can be shorted to the VBB supply, up to the absolute maximum  
supply voltage, without damage to the input.

its correct operating condition. The charge pump will stabilize in  
approximately 2 ms under nominal conditions.  
Diagnostic Monitors  
Multiple diagnostic features provide three levels of fault moni-  
toring. These include critical protection for the AMT49502,  
monitors for operational voltages and states, and detection of the  
power bridge and load fault conditions. All diagnostics, except  
for POR, serial transfer error, EEPROM fault, and overtempera-  
ture, can be masked by setting the appropriate bit in the mask  
registers.  
To allow the AMT49502 to start up without the need for an exter-  
nal logic input, the RESETn terminal can be pulled to VBB with  
an external pull-up resistor.  
RESETn can also be used to clear any fault conditions without  
entering sleep mode by taking it low for the reset pulse width,  
tRST. Any latched short detection fault, which disables the out-  
puts, will be cleared, as will the serial fault register.

When power is first applied to the AMT49502, the internal logic is  
prevented from operating, and all gate drive outputs are held in the

The serial interface allows detailed diagnostic information to be  
read from the diagnostic registers on the SDO output terminal at  
any time.  
off state until the internal regulator voltage, VDL, exceeds the logic  
supply undervoltage lockout rising (turn-on) threshold. At this  
point, all serial control registers will be reset to their power-on state  
and all fault states will be reset. The FF bit and the POR bit in the  
status register will be set to one to indicate that a power-on-reset  
has taken place. Other Diagnostic and Status register bits including  
VIO, VREG, and VBB undervoltages may immediately then be set  
as a result of startup conditions within the part. It is recommended  
A system status register provides a summary of all faults in a  
single read transaction. The status register is always output on  
SDO when any register is written.  
The first bit (bit 15) of the status register contains a common fault  
flag, FF, which will be high if any of the fault bits in the status  
register have been set. This allows fault condition to be detected  
using the serial interface by simply taking STRn low. As soon as  
STRn goes low, the first bit in the status register can be read on  
SDO to determine if a fault has been detected at any time since  
the last fault register reset. In all cases the fault bits in the diag-  
nostic registers are latched and only cleared after a fault register  
reset.  
that the Diagnostic and Status registers are read after VIO, VREG  
,
and VBB have settled within their respective operating ranges to  
clear any fault indications of this type. The AMT49502 then goes  
into its fully operational state and begins operating as specified.  
Once the AMT49502 is operational, the internal logic supply  
continues to be monitored. If, during the operational state, VDL  
drops below logic supply undervoltage lockout falling (turn-  
off) threshold, derived from VBBR, then the logical function of  
the AMT49502 cannot be guaranteed and the outputs will be  
immediately disabled. The AMT49502 will enter a power-down  
state and all internal activity, other than the logic regulator volt-  
age monitor will be suspended. If the logic supply undervoltage  
is a transient event, then the AMT49502 will follow the power-  
up sequence above as the voltage rises. As long as VBB remains  
above the POR voltage, VBBRmax, the logic within the AMT49502  
will remain active.  
FF provides an indication that a fault has occurred since the last  
fault reset and one or more fault bits have been set.  
Note that FF (bit 15) does not provide the same function as the  
general fault flag output on the DIAG terminal. The fault flag  
output on the DIAG terminal provides an indication that either a  
fault is present or the outputs have been disabled due to a latched  
fault state. FF provides an indication that a fault has occurred  
since the last fault reset and one or more fault bits have been set.  
CHIP FAULT STATE: OVERTEMPERATURE  
Chip-Level Protection  
If the chip temperature rises above the over temperature thresh-  
old, TJF, the over temperature bit, OT, will be set in the status  
register. If FOT = 1 when an overtemperature is detected, all gate  
drive outputs will be disabled automatically. If FOT = 0, then no  
circuitry will be disabled and action must be taken by the user to  
limit the power dissipation in some way so as to prevent overtem-  
perature damage to the chip and unpredictable device operation.  
When the temperature drops below TJF by more than the hystere-  
sis value, TJFHys, the fault state is cleared, and when FOT = 1, the  
outputs re-enabled. The overtemperature bit remains in the status  
register until reset.  
Chip-wide parameters critical for correct operation of the  
AMT49502 are monitored. These include maximum chip tem-  
perature, minimum internal logic supply voltage, and the serial  
interface transmission. These three monitors are necessary to  
ensure that the AMT49502 is able to respond as specified.  
CHIP FAULT STATE: INTERNAL LOGIC UNDERVOLTAGE  
The AMT49502 has an independent internal logic regulator to  
supply the internal logic. This is to ensure that external events,  
other than loss of supply, do not prevent the AMT49502 from  
operating correctly. The internal logic supply regulator will  
continue to operate with a low supply voltage, for example, if the  
main supply voltage drops to a very low value during a severe  
cold crank event. In extreme low supply circumstances, or during  
power-up or power-down, an undervoltage detector ensures that  
the AMT49502 operates correctly. The logic supply undervoltage  
lockout cannot be masked as it is essential to guarantee correct  
operation over the full supply range.  
CHIP FAULT STATE: SERIAL ERROR  
If there are more than 16 rising edges on SCK or if STRn goes  
high and there are fewer than 16 rising edges on SCK or the  
parity is not odd, then the write will be cancelled without writing  
data to the registers and the SE bit will be set to indicate a data  
transfer error. If the transfer is a write, then the status register will  
not be reset. If the transfer is a diagnostic register read, then the

up. If FVRU = 1, all gate drives will be low until VREG is greater  
than the rising threshold, VRON. If FVRU = 0, the gate drive out-  
puts will be active as soon as there is sufficient voltage on VREG  
to activate the gate drive outputs.  
If a serial error is detected and FSE = 1, then all gate drive  
outputs will be driven low (disabled) until the next valid frame is  
sent to the AMT49502. If FSE = 0, then no further action will be  
taken.  
Note that this is sufficient to turn on standard threshold external power  
MOSFETs at a battery voltage as low as 5.5 V, but the on-resistance of  
the MOSFET may be higher than its specified maximum.  
CHIP FAULT STATE: EEPROM  
Configuration and calibration information is stored within  
internal EEPROM and loaded into working registers to configure  
the device at power up. As part of this process, a data integ-  
rity check is carried out. If the check returns a single bit error,  
automatic error correction is applied and the part starts up. If the  
check returns a multiple bit error, all gate drives are disabled, the  
general fault flag is set low, and the EEPROM error bit, EE, is set  
in the Status register. EEPROM faults can only be cleared by a  
power-on-reset (POR).  
The VREG undervoltage monitor can be disabled by setting the  
VRU bit in the mask register. Although not recommended, setting  
VRU to 1 or FVRU to 0 can allow the AMT49502 to operate  
below its minimum specified supply voltage level with a severely  
impaired gate drive. The specified electrical parameters will not  
be valid in this condition.  
The output of the VREG regulator is also monitored to detect any  
overvoltage applied to the VREG terminal.  
If VREG goes above the VREG overvoltage threshold, VROV, the  
VREG overvoltage bit, VRO, will be set in the diagnostic regis-  
ter. If FVRO = 1, all gate drive outputs go low, the motor drive is  
disabled, and the motor coasts. If FVRO = 0, no action is taken  
and the outputs are protected from overvoltage by independent  
Zener clamps. When VREG falls below VROV by more than the  
hysteresis voltage, VROVHys, the fault state is cleared but the VRO  
bit remains in the diagnostic register until cleared.  
Operational Monitors  
Parameters related to the safe operation of the AMT49502 in a  
system are monitored. These include parameters associated with  
external active and passive components, power supplies, and  
interaction with external controllers.  
Voltages relating to driving the external power MOSFETs are  
monitored, specifically VREG, the bootstrap capacitor voltage,  
and the VGS of each gate drive output. The bridge supply voltage,  
VBRG, is monitored for both overvoltage and undervoltage events.  
MONITOR: TEMPERATURE WARNING  
If the chip temperature rises above the temperature warning  
threshold, TJW, the hot warning bit, TW, will be set in the status  
register and if FTW = 1, all gate drives will be low. If FTW = 0,  
gate drives will remain active. When the temperature drops below  
TJW by more than the hysteresis value, TJWHys, the fault state is  
cleared and the TW bit remains in the status register until reset.  
MONITOR: VREG VOLTAGE  
The internal charge-pump regulator supplies the low-side gate  
driver and the bootstrap charge current. It is critical to ensure that  
the regulated voltage, VREG, at the VREG terminal is sufficiently  
high before enabling any of the outputs.  
If VREG goes below the VREG undervoltage threshold, VROFF  
the VREG undervoltage bit, VRU, will be set in the diagnostic  
register.

OVERVOLTAGE AND UNDERVOLTAGE  
The main battery voltage supply to the bridge, VBRG, is moni-  
tored by the AMT49502 on the VBRG terminal to indicate if  
the supply voltage has exceeded its normal operating range (for  
example, during a load dump transient). If VBRG rises above the  
VBRG overvoltage warning threshold, VBRGOV, then the gen-  
eral fault flag will be set, the VSO bit will be set in Diagnostic 2  
register, the VS bit (which indicates the logical OR of the VSO  
and VSU bits) will be set in the Status register. When VBRG drops  
below the falling VBRG overvoltage falling threshold, VBRGOV  
– VBRGOVHys, the general fault flag will be cleared but the VSO  
and VS bits will remain set until the Diagnostic 2 register is read.  
If a VREG undervoltage state is present and FVRU = 1, all  
gate drive outputs go low. When VREG rises above the rising  
threshold, VRUON, the fault is cleared and, if FVRU = 1, the  
gate drive outputs are re-enabled. The VRU bit remains in the  
diagnostic register until cleared. If FVRU = 0, fault reporting  
will be the same but the gate drive outputs are not disabled and  
appropriate action to avoid potential misoperation or damage to  
the AMT49502 and/or bridge MOSFETs must be taken by the  
external controller.  
The VREG undervoltage monitor circuit is active during power

The VBRG overvoltage warning threshold can be set to one of  
two levels using the VPO bit.  
OCT[3:0], RS is the sense resistor value in Ω and AV is the sense  
amp gain defined by SAG[2:0].  
The output from the overcurrent comparator is filtered by an  
overcurrent qualifier circuit. This circuit uses a timer to verify  
that the output from the comparator is indicating a valid over-  
current event. The qualifier can operate in one of two ways,  
debounce or blanking, selected by the OCQ bit.  
If VBRG falls below the VBRG undervoltage warning threshold,  
VBRGUV, then the VSU bit will be set in the Diagnostic 2 regis-  
ter and the VS bit (which indicates the logical OR of the VSO  
and VSU bits) will be set in the Status register. If FVSU = 1,  
the general fault flag will be set and all the drive outputs will be  
driven low (disabled) causing the motor to coast. When VBRG  
moves above the rising VBRG undervoltage threshold, VBRGUV  
+ VBRGUVHys, the general fault flag will be cleared and the gate  
drive outputs will be re-enabled but the VSU and VS bits will  
remain set until the Diagnostic 2 register is read. If FVSU = 0,  
fault reporting will be the same but the gate drive outputs will not  
be disabled. The VBRG undervoltage warning threshold can be  
set to one of two level using the VPU bit.  
In the default debounce mode, a timer is started each time the  
comparator output indicates an overcurrent. This timer is reset  
when the comparator changes back to indicate normal operation.  
If the debounce timer reaches the end of the timeout period, set  
by tOCQ, then the overcurrent event is considered valid and the  
overcurrent bit, OC, will be set in the Diag 2 register.  
In the optional blanking mode, a timer is started when a low-  
side gate drive is turned on. The output from the comparator  
is ignored (blanked) for the duration of the timeout period, set  
by tOCQ. If a comparator output indicates an overcurrent event  
when the blanking timer is not active then the overcurrent event  
is considered valid and the overcurrent bit, OC, will be set in the  
Diag 2 register.  
MONITOR: VIO UNDERVOLTAGE  
The logic I/O voltage, VIO, is monitored to ensure that the logic  
interface voltage is high enough to permit correct operation of  
the logic input buffers. If VIO drops below the falling undervolt-  
age threshold, VIOOFF, the regulator undervoltage bit, VLU, will  
be set in the status register, the general fault flag will be set low,  
and all gate drive outputs will be disabled. When VIO rises above  
the rising threshold, VIOON, the gate drive outputs will revert to  
the commanded state and the general fault flag will be reset. The  
VLU fault bit remains in the status register until cleared.  
When a valid overcurrent is detected with FOC = 1, the general  
fault flag is not affected, all gate drive outputs are driven inactive  
(low), and the OC bit is set. If FOC = 0, and an overcurrent is  
detected, the general fault flag is not affected, the outputs remain  
active, and only the OC bit is set.  
Power Bridge and Load Faults  
BRIDGE: BOOTSTRAP CAPACITOR UNDERVOLT-  
AGE FAULT  
BRIDGE: OVERCURRENT DETECT  
The AMT49502 monitors the bootstrap capacitor charge volt-  
age to ensure sufficient high-side drive. The user must ensure  
that the bootstrap capacitor does not become discharged below  
the bootstrap undervoltage threshold, VBCUV, or a bootstrap  
fault will be indicated and the outputs disabled. This can happen  
with very high PWM duty cycles when the charge time for the  
bootstrap capacitor is insufficient to ensure a sufficient recharge  
to match the MOSFET gate charge transfer during turn on. The  
user must also ensure that the bootstrap capacitor is sufficiently  
charged before attempting to turn on the high-side MOSFET. If  
the bootstrap voltage is below the undervoltage threshold when  
the high-side MOSFET is being switched on, then the bootstrap  
undervoltage is immediately detected.  
The output from the sense amplifier can be compared to an over-  
current threshold voltage, VOCT, to provide indication of overcur-  
rent events. VOCT, is generated by a 4-bit DAC with a resolution  
of 300 mV and defined by the contents of the OC[3:0] variable  
and the contents of the SAO[3:0] variable. VOCT is approximately  
defined as:  
VOCT = [(n + 1) × 300 mV]  
where n is a positive integer defined by OCT[3:0]  
Any offset programmed on SAO[3:0] is applied to both the cur-  
rent sense amplifier output, VCSO, and the Overcurrent threshold,  
VOCT, and has no effect on the overcurrent threshold, IOCT. The  
relationship between the threshold voltage and the threshold cur-  
rent is approximately defined as:  
The action taken when a valid bootstrap undervoltage fault is  
detected and the fault reset conditions depend on the state of the  
FVBU bit.  
IOCT = VOCT / (RS × AV)  
If FVBU = 0, the fault state will be latched, the bootstrap under-  
where VOCT is the overcurrent threshold voltage programmed by

voltage fault bit in the status register, VBS, will be set, and the  
high-side MOSFET will be disabled. The fault state, but not the  
bootstrap undervoltage fault bit, will be reset by a low pulse on  
the RESETn input or the next time the MOSFET is commanded  
to switch on. If the MOSFET is being driven with a PWM signal,  
then this will usually mean that the MOSFET will be turned on  
again each PWM cycle. If this is the case, and the fault condi-  
tion remains, then a valid fault will again be detected and the  
sequence will repeat. The fault state will be reset by a low pulse  
on the RESETn input, by a serial read of the diagnostic or status  
register, or by a power-on reset.  
drain of the low-side MOSFET, as shown in Figure 6, the low-  
side VDS monitor should be disabled by setting the LO bit to 1 in  
the Mask 1 register. This is necessary as the reference voltage for  
the drain of the low-side MOSFET is the S terminal which will  
be pulled to the supply when the high-side MOSFET is on and  
will cause a false low-side VDS fault if the low-side VDS moni-  
tor is active.  
The drain-source voltage for the high-side MOSFET is measured  
between the S terminal and the VBRG terminal. Using the VBRG  
terminal rather than the VBB avoids adding any reverse diode  
voltage or high-side current sense voltage to the real high-side  
drain-source voltage and avoids false VDS fault detection.  
If FVBU = 1, the fault will be latched, the associated bootstrap  
undervoltage fault bit will be set, and all MOSFETs will be dis-  
abled. The fault state will be reset by a low pulse on the RESETn  
input, by a serial read of the Diagnostic 2 register, or by a power-  
on reset.  
The VBRG terminal is an independent sense input to the top of  
the MOSFET bridge. It should be connected independently and  
directly to the common connection point for the drain of the power  
bridge MOSFET at the positive supply connection point in the  
bridge. The input current to the VBRG terminal is proportional to  
the drain-source threshold voltage, VDST, and is approximately:  
The bootstrap undervoltage monitor can be disabled by setting  
the VBS bit in the mask register. Although not recommended, this  
can allow the AMT49502 to operate below its minimum speci-  
fied supply voltage level with a severely impaired gate drive. The  
specified electrical parameters may not be valid in this condition.  
IVBRG = 72 × VDSTH + 52  
where IVBRG is the current into the VBRG terminal in µA and  
VDSTH is the drain-source threshold voltage described above.  
BRIDGE: MOSFET VDS OVERVOLTAGE FAULT  
Note that the VBRG terminal can withstand a negative voltage  
up to –5 V. This allows the terminal to remain connected directly  
to the top of the power bridge during reverse battery conditions  
where the body diodes of the power MOSFETs are used to clamp  
the negative voltage.  
Faults on the external MOSFETs are determined by monitoring  
the drain-source voltage of the MOSFET and comparing it to a  
drain-source overvoltage threshold. There are two thresholds:  
VDSTH for the high-side MOSFET and VDSTL for the low-side  
MOSFET. VDSTH and VDSTL are generated by internal DACs and  
are defined by the values in the VTH[5:0] and the VTL[5:0] vari-  
ables respectively. These variables provide the input to two 6-bit  
DACs with a least significant bit value of typically 50 mV. The  
output of the DAC produces the threshold voltage approximately  
defined as:  
The output from each VDS overvoltage comparator is filtered by  
a VDS fault qualifier circuit. This circuit uses a timer to verify  
that the output from the comparator is indicating a valid VDS  
fault. The duration of the VDS fault qualifying timer, tVDQ, is  
determined by the contents of the TVD[9:0] variable. tVDQ is  
approximately defined as:  
VDSTH = n × 50 mV  
tVDQ = n × 100 ns  
where n is a positive integer defined by VT[5:0]  
where n is a positive integer defined by TVD[9:0].  
or:  
The qualifier can operate in one of two ways: debounce mode or  
blanking mode, selected by the VDQ bit.  
VDSTL = n × 50 mV  
where n is a positive integer defined by VT[5:0].  
In the default debounce mode, a timer is started each time the  
comparator output indicates a VDS fault detection when the  
corresponding MOSFET is active. This timer is reset when  
the comparator changes back to indicate normal operation. If  
the debounce timer reaches the end of the timeout period, set  
by tVDQ, then the VDS fault is considered valid and the corre-  
sponding VDS fault bit, LO or HO, will be set in the diagnostic  
register.  
The drain-source voltage for the low-side MOSFET is measured  
between the D terminal and the LSS terminal. Using the LSS  
terminal rather than the ground connection avoids adding any  
low-side current sense voltage to the real low-side drain-source  
voltage and avoids false VDS fault detection.  
When the AMT49502 is used in applications where the load is  
connected between the source of the high-side MOSFET and the

In the optional blanking mode, a timer is started when a gate  
drive is turned on. The output from the VDS overvoltage com-  
parator for the MOSFET being switched on is ignored (blanked)  
for the duration of the timeout period, set by tVDQ. If the com-  
parator output indicates an overvoltage event when the MOSFET  
is switched on and the blanking timer is not active, then the VDS  
fault is considered valid and the corresponding VDS fault bit, LO  
or HO, will be set in the diagnostic register.  
esis voltage, VGSUVHys, the general fault flags goes inactive. The  
fault bits remain in the diagnostic register until cleared.  
For the high-side VGS comparator, the VGSUV threshold is set  
1 V(typ) below the voltage on the C terminal, and for the low-side  
gate comparator, the VGSUV threshold is set 1 V(typ) below VREG  
.
The output from each VGS undervoltage comparator is filtered  
by a VGS fault qualifier circuit. This circuit uses a timer to verify  
that the output from the comparator is indicating a valid VGS  
fault. The duration of the VGS fault qualifying timer, tVDQ, is  
determined by the contents of the TVD[9:0] variable. tVDQ is  
approximately defined as:  
The VDQ and TVD[9:0] qualifier parameters apply to the VDS  
overvoltage, VGS undervoltage and the off-state VGS overvolt-  
age monitors.  
If a valid VDS fault is detected, the fault will be latched and the  
associated MOSFET will be disabled. This state will remain until  
reset depending on the value set in the FDSO bit.  
tVDQ = n ×100 ns  
where n is a positive integer defined by TVD[9:0].  
The qualifier can operate in one of two ways: debounce mode or  
blanking mode, selected by the VDQ bit.  
If FDSO = 1, the fault state will only be reset by a low pulse on  
the RESETn input, by a serial read of the diagnostic register, or  
by a power-on reset.  
In debounce mode (the default setting), a timer is started each time  
the comparator output indicates a VGS fault detection when the  
corresponding MOSFET is active. This timer is reset when the  
comparator changes back to indicate VGS is within 1 V of the volt-  
age on the C terminal (high-side gate drive) or VREG (low-side gate  
drive). If the debounce timer reaches the end of the timeout period,  
set by tVDQ, then the VGS fault is considered valid.  
If FDSO = 0, the fault state, but not the VDS fault bit, will be  
reset the next time the MOSFET is commanded to switch on. If  
the MOSFET is being driven with a PWM signal, then this will  
usually mean that the MOSFET will be turned on again each  
PWM cycle. If this is the case, and the fault conditions remains,  
then a valid fault will again be detected after the timeout period  
and the sequence will repeat. The fault state will be reset by a  
low pulse on the RESETn input, by a serial read of the diagnostic  
register, or by a power-on reset.  
In blanking mode (optional), a timer is started when any gate  
drive is turned on. The outputs from the VGS undervoltage com-  
parators for all MOSFETs are ignored (blanked) for the duration  
of the timer’s active period, set by tVDQ. If any comparator output  
indicates a VGS fault and the blanking timer is not active, then  
the VGS fault is considered valid.  
If FDSO = 0, care must be taken to avoid damage to the MOSFET  
where the VDS fault is detected. Although the MOSFET will be  
switched off as soon as the fault is detected at the end of the fault  
validation timeout, it is possible that it could still be damaged by  
excessive power dissipation and heating. To limit any damage to  
the external MOSFETs or the load, the MOSFET should be fully  
disabled by logic inputs from the external controller.  
The VDQ and TVD[9:0] qualifier parameters apply to the VDS  
overvoltage, VGS undervoltage, and the off-state VGS overvolt-  
age monitors.  
BRIDGE: OFF-STATE VGS OVERVOLTAGE  
BRIDGE: VGS UNDERVOLTAGE  
To ensure that the gate drives are successfully driven low when  
requested by the microcontroller, each gate drive output voltage  
is independently monitored, when commanded off, to ensure the  
voltage, VGS, is below the overvoltage threshold and it is not suf-  
ficient to start conduction in the MOSFET.  
To ensure that the gate drive output is operating correctly, each  
gate drive output voltage is independently monitored, when  
active, to ensure the drive voltage, VGS, is sufficient to fully  
enhance the power MOSFET in the external bridge.  
If VGS on any active gate drive output goes below the gate drive  
undervoltage warning, VGSUV, the general fault flag will be active  
and the corresponding gate drive undervoltage bit, HU or LU,  
will be set in the diagnostic register. If FGSU = 1, all gate drive  
outputs will be inactive (low). If FGSU = 0, no other action will  
be taken. When VGS rises above VGSUV by more than the hyster-  
If VGS on any inactive gate drive output does not fall below the  
off-state VGS overvoltage warning, VGSOV, the general fault flag  
will be active and the corresponding bit, HGO or LGO, will be  
set in Diagnostic 0 register. In addition, the FF and GSO bits will  
be set in the Status register. No further action will be taken. The  
fault bits remain set in the diagnostic register until cleared.

For the high-side VGS comparator, the VGSOV threshold is set  
1 V(typ) above the voltage on the S terminal, and for the low-side  
VGS comparator, the VGSOV is set 1 V(typ) above the voltage on  
LSS terminal.  
MOSFET FAULT STATE: SHORT TO GROUND  
A short from the load connection to ground is detected by moni-  
toring the voltage across the high-side MOSFET using the S  
terminal and the voltage at VBRG. This drain-source voltage is  
then compared to the high-side Drain-Source Threshold Voltage,  
VDSTH. If the blanking timer is active, the output from the VDS  
overvoltage comparator will be ignored for tVDQ. While the high-  
side VDS fault is detected, the VDS fault bit, HO, will be set in  
the diagnostic register and the high-side MOSFET will be dis-  
abled. When FDSO is set to 1, both MOSFETs will be disabled.  
The output from each off-state VGS overvoltage comparator is  
filtered by a VGS fault qualifier circuit. This circuit uses a timer  
to verify that the output from the comparator is indicating a valid  
off-state VGS fault. The duration of the VGS fault qualifying  
timer, tVDQ, is determined by the contents of the TVD[9:0] vari-  
able. tVDQ is approximately defined as:  
Fault Action  
tVDQ = n × 100 ns  
where n is a positive integer defined by TVD[9:0].  
The action taken when one of the diagnostic functions indicates a  
fault is listed in Table 5.  
The qualifier can operate in one of two ways: debounce mode or  
blanking mode, selected by the VDQ bit.  
When a fault is detected a corresponding fault state is consid-  
ered to exist. In some cases the fault state only exists during the  
time the fault is detected. In other cases, when the fault is only  
detected for a short time, the fault state is latched (stored) until  
reset. The faults that are latched are indicated in table 5. Latched  
fault states are always reset when RESETn is taken low, a power-  
on-reset state is present or when the associated fault bit is read  
through the serial interface. Any fault bits that have been set in  
the status or diagnostic register are only reset when a power-  
on-reset state is present or when the associated fault bit is read  
through the serial interface. RESETn low will not reset the fault  
bits in the status or diagnostic registers.  
In debounce mode (the default setting), a timer is started each time  
the comparator output indicates a VGS fault detection when the  
corresponding MOSFET is commanded off. This timer is reset  
when the comparator changes back to indicate VGS is within  
1 V(typ) of the voltage on the S terminal (high-side) or LSS termi-  
nal (low-side). If the debounce timer reaches the end of the timeout  
period, set by tVDQ, then the VGS fault is considered valid.  
In blanking mode (optional), a timer is started when any gate  
drive is turned off. The outputs from the off-state VGS overvolt-  
age comparators for both MOSFETs are ignored (blanked) for the  
duration of the timer’s active period, set by tVDQ. If any com-  
parator output indicates a VGS fault and the blanking time is not  
active, then the VGS fault is considered valid.  
For most of the diagnostic functions, the action taken when a fault  
state is detected can be programmed to force the gate drive outputs  
into the inactive (low) state or to leave them active. The action is  
selected by a 1 or a 0 in specific stop on fault (SoF) bit associated  
with the diagnostic. The specific SoF bits for each diagnostic and  
the action taken for each setting are listed in Table 5.  
The VDQ and TVD[9:0] qualifier parameters apply to the VGS  
undervoltage, VDS overvoltage, and the off-state VGS overvolt-  
age monitors.  
The fault condition power-on-reset is considered critical to the  
safe operation of the AMT49502 and the system. If this fault is  
detected, then the gate drive outputs are automatically driven low  
and both MOSFETs in the bridge held in the off state. This state  
will remain until the fault is removed.  
MOSFET FAULT STATE: SHORT TO SUPPLY  
A short from the load connections to the battery or VBB connec-  
tion is detected by monitoring the voltage across the low-side  
MOSFET using the S terminal and the LSS terminal. This drain-  
source voltage is then compared to the low-side Drain-Source  
Threshold Voltage, VDSTL. If the blanking timer is active, the  
output from the VDS overvoltage comparator will be ignored for  
tVDQ. While the low-side VDS fault is detected, the VDS fault  
bit, LO, will be set in the diagnostic register and the low-side  
MOSFET will be disabled. When FDSO is set to 1, both MOS-  
FETs will be disabled.  
Setting any of the FVRU, FVRO, FVSU, FOT, FTW, FSE, FVBU,  
FOC, FDSO, or FGSU bits in the Stop-on-Fault register to 0 such  
that the gate drive outputs are not disabled in the event of the cor-  
responding fault being detected means that the AMT49502 will not  
take any action to protect itself or the external bridge MOSFETs  
and damage may occur. Appropriate action must be taken by the  
external controller.

Fault Masks  
Individual diagnostics—except power-on reset, EEPROM error,  
serial transmission error and over temperature—can be disabled  
by setting the corresponding bit in the mask register. Power-on-  
reset cannot be disabled because the diagnostics and the output  
control depend on the logic regulator to operate correctly. If a bit  
is set to one in the mask register, then the corresponding diagnos-  
tic will be completely disabled. No fault states for the disabled  
diagnostic will be generated and no fault flags or diagnostic bits  
will be set. See Mask Register definition for bit allocation. Care  
must be taken when diagnostics are disabled to avoid potentially  
damaging conditions.

*Power-on reset value shown below each input register bit.  
A three-wire synchronous serial interface, compatible with SPI, is fifth bit, WR (D[11]), is the write/read bit. When WR is 1, the  
following 10 bits, D[10:1], clocked in from the SDI terminal are  
written to the addressed register. When WR is 0, then no data is  
written to the serial registers and the contents of the addressed  
register are clocked out on the SDO terminal.  
used to control the features of the AMT49502. The SDO terminal  
can be used during a serial transfer to provide diagnostic feed-  
back and readback of the register contents.  
The AMT49502 can be operated without the serial interface  
using the default settings and the logic control inputs; however,  
application-specific configurations are only possible by setting  
the appropriate register bits through the serial interface. In addi-  
tion to setting the configuration bits, the serial interface can also  
be used to control the bridge MOSFETs directly.  
The last bit in any serial transfer, D[0], is a parity bit (P) that is  
set to ensure odd parity in the complete 16-bit word. Odd parity  
means that the total number of 1s in any transfer should always  
be an odd number. This ensures that there is always at least one  
bit set to 1 and one bit set to 0 and allows detection of stuck-at  
faults on the serial input and output data connections. The parity  
bit is not stored but generated on each transfer.  
The serial interface timing requirements are specified in the Electri-  
cal Characteristics table and illustrated in Figure 4. Data is received  
on the SDI terminal and clocked through a shift register on the  
rising edge of the clock signal input on the SCK terminal. STRn  
is normally held high, and is only brought low to initiate a serial  
transfer. No data is clocked through the shift register when STRn  
is high, allowing multiple slave units to use common SDI and  
SCK connections. Each slave then requires an independent STRn  
connection. The SDO output assumes a high-impedance state when  
STRn is high, allowing a common data readback connection.  
In addition to the addressable registers, a read-only status register  
is output on SDO for all register addresses when WR is set to 1.  
For all serial transfers, the five bits output on SDO will always be  
the first five bits from the status register. Register data is output  
on the SDO terminal msb first while STRn is low and changes  
to the next bit on each falling edge of SCK. The first bit, which  
is always the FF bit from the status register, is output as soon as  
STRn goes low.  
Registers 12, 13, and 14 contain diagnostic fault indicators and  
are read-only. If the WR bit for these registers is set to 1, then the  
data input through SDI is ignored and the contents of the status  
register are clocked out on the SDO terminal then reset as for a  
normal write. No other action is taken. If the WR bit for these  
registers is set to 0, then the data input through SDI is ignored  
and the contents of the addressed register are clocked out on the  
SDO terminal and the addressed register is reset.  
When 16 data bits have been clocked into the shift register, STRn  
must be taken high to latch the data into the selected register.  
When this occurs, the internal control circuits act on the new data  
and the registers are reset depending on the type of transfer.  
If there are more than 16 rising edges on SCK, or if STRn goes  
high and there are fewer than 16 rising edges on SCK—either  
being described as a framing error—the write will be cancelled  
without latching data to the register. The Status register will not  
be reset.  
If a framing or parity error is detected, the SE bit is set in the  
Status register to indicate a data transfer error. This fault condi-  
tion can be cleared by a subsequent valid serial write or by a  
power-on-reset.  
The first four bits, D[15:12], in a serial word are the register  
address bits, giving the possibility of 16 register addresses. The

• IF2[3:0] , a 4-bit integer to set the MOSFET turn-off I2 current  
in 8 mA increments.  
Configuration Registers  
Eight registers are used to configure the operating parameters of  
the AMT49502.  
Stop On Fault Register  
Config 1: Bridge monitor setting:  
A register to control whether the gate drive outputs are to remain  
enabled or disabled in response to faults. One bit per fault type  
defines stop on fault behaviour for VRU, VRO, VSU, OT, TW, SE,  
VBS, OC, DSO, and GSU diagnostics.  
• OCT[3:0], a 4-bit integer to set the overcurrent threshold volt-  
age, VOCT, in 300 mV increments.  
• VTH[5:0], a 6-bit integer to set the drain-source threshold  
voltage, VDSTH, in 50 mV increments.  
Diagnostic Registers  
In addition to the read-only status register, five registers provide  
detailed diagnostic management and reporting. Two mask registers  
allow individual diagnostics to be disabled and three read-only  
diagnostic registers provide fault bits for individual diagnostic tests  
and monitors. If a bit is set to one in the mask register, then the cor-  
responding diagnostic will be completely disabled. No fault states  
for the disabled diagnostic will be generated and no fault flags or  
diagnostic bits will be set. These bits in the diagnostic registers are  
reset on completion of a successful read of the register.  
Config 2: Bridge monitor setting:  
• OCQ,selectstheovercurrentqualifiermode,blankordebounce.  
• VDQ, selects the VDS and VGS qualifier mode, blank or  
debounce.  
• VTL[5:0], a 6-bit integer to set the low-side drain-source  
threshold voltage, VDSTL, in 50 mV increments.  
Config 3: Bridge monitor setting:  
Mask 0:  
• TVD[9:0], a 10-bit integer to set the VDS and VGS fault veri-  
fication time, tVDQ, in 100 ns increments.  
Individual bits to disable bootstrap undervoltage (VBS), temperature  
warning (TW), the VGS undervoltage diagnostic monitors (HU and  
LU), and the off-state VGS overvoltage monitors (HGO and LGO).  
Config 4: Regulator configuration:  
• VPO, selects the VBRG overvoltage warning threshold.  
• VPU, selects the VBRG undervoltage threshold.  
Config 5: Sense amplifier setting:  
Mask 1:  
Individual bits to disable the voltage regulator (VRO, VRU,  
VSO, VSU, and VIO) and the VDS overvoltage diagnostic moni-  
tors (HO and LO).  
• SAO[3:0], a 4-bit integer to set the sense amplifier offset up  
between 0 and 2.5 V.  
Diagnostic 0 (read only):  
• SAG[2:0],a3-bitintegertosetthesenseamplifiergainbetween  
10 and 50 V/V.  
Individual bits indicating faults detected in VGS undervoltage  
diagnostic monitors (HU and LU) and off-state VGS overvoltage  
monitors (HGO and LGO).  
Config 6: Gate drive time setting:  
Diagnostic 1 (read only):  
• TR[3:0], a 4-bit integer to set the high-side and low-side I1 time  
in 16 ns increments.  
Individual bits indicating faults detected in voltage regulator  
(VRO and VRU) and VDS overvoltage diagnostic monitors (HO  
and LO).

The Control register contains one control bit for each MOSFET:  
• HSR and LSR, MOSFET Control bits.  
Config 8: Gate drive current setting:  
• IR2[3:0] , a 4-bit integer to set the MOSFET turn-on I2 current  
in 8 mA increments.

AMT49502  
80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
The first most significant bit in the register is the diagnostic status  
flag, FF. This is high if any bits in the status register are set. When  
Status Register  
There is one status register in addition to the 16 addressable  
registers. When any register transfer takes place, the first five  
bits output on SDO are always the most significant five bits of  
the status register regardless of whether the addressed register is  
being read or written (see serial timing diagram).  
STRn goes low to start a serial write, the SDO outputs the  
diagnostic status flag. This allows the main controller to poll the  
AMT49502 through the serial interface to determine if a fault has  
been detected. If no faults have been detected, then the serial  
transfer may be terminated without generating a serial read fault  
by ensuring that SCK remains high while STRn is low. When  
STRn goes high, the transfer will be terminated and SDO will go  
into its high-impedance state.  
The content of the remaining eleven bits will depend on the state  
of the WR bit input on SDI. When WR is 1, the addressed register  
will be written and the remaining eleven bits output on SDO will  
be the least significant ten bits of the status register followed by a  
parity bit. When WR is 0, the addressed register will be read and  
the remaining eleven bits will be the contents of the addressed  
register followed by a parity bit.  
The second most significant bit is the POR bit. At power-up or  
after a power-on-reset, the FF bit and the POR bit are set, indi-  
cating to the external controller that a power-on-reset has taken  
place. All other diagnostic bits are reset and all other registers are  
returned to their default state. Note that a power-on-reset only  
occurs when the output of the internal logic regulator rises above  
its undervoltage threshold. Power-on-reset is not affected by the  
state of the VBB supply or the VREG regulator output. In general  
VIO, VREG, and VBB undervoltages may immediately be set as a  
result of startup conditions within the part.  
The read-only status register provides a summary of the chip  
status by indicating if any diagnostic monitors have detected a  
fault. The most significant three bits of the status register (FF,  
POR, SE, and EE) indicate critical system faults. Bits OT and  
TW provide indicators for specific individual monitors and the  
remaining bits are derived from the contents of the three diagnos-  
tic registers. The contents and mapping to the diagnostic registers  
are listed in Table 7.  
The third bit in the status register is the SE bit, which indicates  
that the previous serial transfer was not completed successfully.

The fourth bit in the Status register is the EE bit, which indicates  
that an EEPROM error was detected at device power-up.

Bits OT, TW, and VLU are the fault bits for the two temperature  
monitors and the logic I/O regulator monitor, respectively. If one  
or more of these faults, along with the POR and SE faults, are  
no longer present, then the corresponding fault bits will be reset  
following a successful read of the status register. Resetting only  
affects latched fault bits for faults that are no longer present. For  
any static faults that are still present, for example overtemperature,  
the fault flag will remain set after the reset.

fault if the fault condition has cleared.

80 V Automotive Half-Bridge MOSFET Driver  
APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Bootstrap Capacitor Selection  
CBOOT × ∆V  
tCHARGE  
=
The AMT49502 requires a bootstrap capacitor C. To simplify this  
description of the bootstrap capacitor selection criteria, generic  
naming is used here. So, for example, CBOOT, QBOOT, and VBOOT  
refer to the bootstrap capacitor, and QGATE refers to the high-side  
MOSFET. CBOOT must be correctly selected to ensure proper  
operation of the device—too large and time will be wasted charg-  
ing the capacitor, resulting in a limit on the maximum duty cycle  
and PWM frequency; too small and there can be a large volt-  
age drop at the time the charge is transferred from CBOOT to the  
MOSFET gate.  
100  
where CBOOT is the value of the bootstrap capacitor in nF and ∆V  
is the required voltage of the bootstrap capacitor. At power up and  
when the drivers have been disabled for a long time, the bootstrap  
capacitor can be completely discharged. In this case, ∆V can be  
considered to be the full high-side drive voltage, 12 V. Otherwise,  
∆V is the amount of voltage dropped during the charge transfer,  
which should be 400 mV or less. The capacitor is charged when-  
ever the S terminal is pulled low and current flows from the capaci-  
tor connected to the VREG terminal through the internal bootstrap  
To keep the voltage drop due to charge sharing small, the charge  
in the bootstrap capacitor, QBOOT, should be much larger than  
QGATE, the charge required by the gate:  
diode circuit to CBOOT  
.
VREG Capacitor Selection  
QBOOT >> QGATE  
A factor of 20 is a reasonable value, so  
QBOOT = CBOOT × VBOOT = QGATE × 20  
The internal reference, VREG, supplies current for the low-side  
gate-drive circuits and the charging current for the bootstrap  
capacitors. When a low-side MOSFET is turned on, the gate-  
drive circuit will provide the high transient current to the gate that  
is necessary to turn the MOSFET on quickly. This current, which  
can be several hundred milliamperes, cannot be provided directly  
by the limited output of the VREG regulator but must be supplied  
by an external capacitor, CREG, connected between the VREG  
terminal and GND.  
or  
QGATE × 20  
CBOOT  
=
VBOOT  
where VBOOT is the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor.  
The turn-on current for the high-side MOSFET is similar in value  
but is mainly supplied by the bootstrap capacitor. However, the  
bootstrap capacitor must then be recharged from CREG through  
the VREG terminal. Unfortunately, the bootstrap recharge can  
occur a very short time after the low-side turn on occurs. This  
means that the value of CREG between VREG and GND should  
be high enough to minimize the transient voltage drop on  
VREG for the combination of a low-side MOSFET turn on and  
a bootstrap capacitor recharge. For block commutation control  
(trapezoidal drive), where only one high side and one low side  
are switching during each PWM period, a minimum value of 20 ×  
CBOOT is reasonable. For sinusoidal control schemes, a minimum  
value of 40 × CBOOT is recommended. As the maximum work-  
ing voltage of CREG will never exceed VREG, the part’s voltage  
rating can be as low as 15 V. However, it is recommended that  
a capacitor rated to at least twice the maximum working volt-  
age should be used to reduce any impact operating voltage may  
have on capacitance value. For best performance, CREG should be  
ceramic rather than electrolytic. CREG should be mounted as close  
to the VREG terminal as possible.  
The voltage drop, ∆V, across the bootstrap capacitor as the MOS-  
FET is being turned on, can be approximated by:  
QGATE  
V  
=
CBOOT  
so for a factor of 20, ∆V will be 5% of VBOOT  
.
The maximum voltage across the bootstrap capacitor under  
normal operating conditions is VREG (max). However in some  
circumstances the voltage may transiently reach a maximum of  
18 V, which is the clamp voltage of the Zener diode between the  
C terminal and the S terminal. In most applications with a good  
ceramic capacitor, the working voltage can be limited to 16 V.  
Bootstrap Charging  
It is necessary to ensure the high-side bootstrap capacitor is com-  
pletely charged before a high-side PWM cycle is requested. The time  
required to charge the capacitor, tCHARGE, in µs, is approximated by:

AV = 20 (SAG[2:0] = 0b010)  
Current Sense Amplifier Configuration  
• VOOS = 1 V (SAO[3:0] = 0b1001)  
Amplifier gain, AV, and output offset zero point voltage, VOOS  
,
may be set to a range of values by the SAG[2:0] and SAO[3:0]  
variables respectively as defined in the Current Sense Ampli-  
fiers section above. It is important that both values are selected  
to ensure the absolute voltage at the CSO output, VCSO, remains  
within the amplifier’s dynamic range, VCSOUT, and the dynamic  
range of any downstream signal processing circuitry. Allowance  
must be made for both positive and negative current flows within  
the sense resistor.  
VID ranges between –20 mV and +40 mV and VCSO between  
0.6 V and 1.8 V. VCSO remains within the amplifier dynamic  
range, VCSOUT, of 0.3 V to 4.8 V. However, if AV is increased  
to 50, VCSO attempts to drive to 0 V and 3.0 V, the amplifier  
dynamic range limits are not complied with, and the amplifier  
output saturates at its negative limit. This situation could be rem-  
edied by reducing AV to 30 (0.4 V < VCSO < 2.2 V) or increasing  
VOOS to 1.5 V (0.5 V < VCSO < 3.5 V).  
With reference to Figure 3, the relationship between phase cur-  
rent IPH, sense resistor value, RS, and differential amplifier input  
voltage, VID is given by:  
Current Sense Amplifier Output Signals  
As defined in Figure 3, the current sense amplifier output signals  
on the CSO pin is internally referenced to the output offset which  
can be made available on the CSO terminal by setting the SAT bit  
to 1. The sense amp output voltage and the output offset voltage  
may be measured consecutively with respect to ground, and the  
values subtracted to give the required output signal voltages as  
VID = VCSP – VCSM = IPH × RS  
The current sense amplifier’s output voltage on CSO with respect  
to the programmed value of output offset is:  
VCSD = (VCSP – VCSM) × AV  
VCSD = VCSO – VOOS  
.
The absolute voltage on CSO when SAT = 1 with respect to  
ground is therefore:  
The Input Offset Voltage, VIOS, and the associated drift, ΔVIOS  
,
VCSO = [(VCSP – VCSM) × AV] + VOOS  
multiplied by the selected amplifier gain, AV, represent the offset  
and offset drift limits that apply to VCSD. The Output Offset Error  
limits, EVO, and Output Offset Drift limits, VOOSD, apply directly  
to VOOS. EVO and VOOSD do not affect current sense output  
accuracy.  
If, for example, the following parameter values are assumed:  
• RS = 1 mΩ  
• IPH = –20A to +40A

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS  
Careful consideration must be given to PCB layout when design-  
ing high-frequency, fast-switching, high-current circuits:  
• Supply decoupling should be connected between VREG and  
GND as close to the AMT49502 terminals as possible.  
• Check the pick voltage excrusion of the transients on the LSS  
terminal with reference to the GND terminal using a close-  
grounded (‘tip & barrel’) probe. If the voltage at any LSS  
terminal exceeds the absolute maximum in the datasheet,  
add additional clamping and/or capacitance between the LSS  
terminal and the GND terminal.  
• The exposed thermal pad should be connected to the GND  
terminal.  
• Minimize stray inductance by using short, wide copper tracks  
at the drain and source terminals of all power MOSFETs. This  
includes load lead connections and the input power bus. This  
will minimize voltages induced by fast switching of large load  
currents.  
• Gate charge drive paths and gate discharge return paths may  
carry a large transient current pulse. Therefore the traces from  
GH, GL, S, and LSS should be as short as possible to reduce  
the track indictance.  
• Consider the addition of small (100 nF) ceramic decoupling  
capacitor across the source and drain of the power MOSFETs  
to limit fast transient voltage spikes caused by track  
inductance.  
• Provide an independent connection between the LSS terminal  
to the source of the low-side MOSFET in the power bridge.  
Connection of the LSS terminal directly to the GND terminal  
is not recommended as this may inject noise into sensitive  
functions such as the various voltage monitors.  
• Keep the gate discharge return connections S and LSS  
as short as possible. Any inductance on these tracks will  
cause negative transitions on the corresponding AMT49502  
terminals, which may exceed the absolute maximum ratings. If  
this is likely, consider the use of clamping diodes to limit the  
negative excursion on these terminals with respect to the GND  
terminal.  
• A low-cost diode can be placed in the connection to VBB  
to provide reverse battery protection. In reverse battery  
conditions, it is possible to use the body diodes of the power  
MOSFETs to clamp the reverse voltage to approximately 4 V.  
In this case, the additional diode in the VBB connection will  
prevent damage to the AMT49502 and the VBRG input will  
survive the reverse voltage.  
• Supply decoupling, typically a 100 nF ceramic capacitor,  
should be connected between VBB and GND as close to the  
AMT49502 terminals as possible.
