■ Charge pump voltage monitoring with

shutdown

■ Active clamping during load dump

Description

The L9524C is a control IC for up to six glow

plugs of diesel engines. The glow plugs are

switched by up to four external PWM-controlled

N-channel Power MOSFETs or a single relay in

high-side configuration.

Supply voltage, battery voltage, junction

temperature, switches, currents through the glow

plugs, and charge pump voltage are monitored.

A two-wire interface is used to communicate with

the diesel engine management system.
