Key Features
- Quad N-channel output driver delivering 2.5A continuous and 5A peak current per channel, suitable for driving solenoids, relays, and DC motors
- Integrated overcurrent and thermal protection circuitry safeguarding both the IC and load without external protection components
- 4-channel current sink architecture with buffer/inverter-based peripheral driver interface, simplifying MCU-to-load signal routing
- PowerSO-36 package with exposed bottom pad for enhanced thermal dissipation, enabling compact high-current PCB designs
Applications
The L9352B is designed for automotive body control modules and industrial PLC output stages where multiple inductive loads such as solenoid valves, relays, and small DC motors must be driven simultaneously from a single IC. Its 4-channel architecture with 5A peak current per channel supports direct drive of automotive actuators operating from 12V or 24V battery rails. The built-in thermal and overcurrent protection makes it well-suited for under-hood automotive environments where load faults and temperature extremes are routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the peak output current the L9352B can sink per channel, and how many independent output channels does it provide?
The L9352B provides 4 independent N-channel output drivers, each capable of sinking up to 5A peak current with a 2.5A continuous rating. This makes each channel sufficient to drive medium-sized solenoids and relays directly from a microcontroller logic signal. The 4-channel count allows a single L9352B to replace four discrete power transistors in automotive body control or industrial output modules.
What built-in protections does the L9352B include, and how do they benefit automotive designs?
The L9352B integrates overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown circuitry on-chip. Overcurrent protection limits current during short-circuit conditions on any of the 4 output channels, preventing board damage. Thermal shutdown activates when the junction temperature exceeds safe limits, which is critical in automotive under-hood environments where ambient temperatures can reach 85°C or higher. Together these protections eliminate the need for external fuses or current-sense circuits on each channel.
How does the PowerSO-36 package with exposed bottom pad help manage heat in a 4-channel 5A driver design?
The PowerSO-36 package includes an exposed thermal pad on the bottom that connects directly to the die, significantly reducing the junction-to-board thermal resistance compared to standard SSOP36 packages without bottom pads. In a 4-channel design where all channels simultaneously sink 2.5A continuous each — a total of 10A — effective heat sinking through the bottom pad to the PCB copper pour is essential to maintain junction temperature within the rated limit and avoid thermal shutdown.
For an industrial PLC output card driving 4 solenoid valves at 24V, why is the L9352B a suitable single-chip solution?
A typical 24V solenoid valve draws 200mA to 500mA steady-state, well within the L9352B's 2.5A per-channel continuous rating, leaving ample headroom for inrush transients up to 5A peak. The 4-channel N-channel sink configuration matches the standard PLC output topology where the high side is tied to the 24V rail and the IC pulls the low side to ground. Built-in overcurrent and thermal protection removes the need for individual channel fusing, simplifying the output card BOM and layout.
