Functional description L9758
22/30 DocID14273 Rev 5
The V
DDL
voltage is selectable with the VPROG3 pin: 2.5 V if connected to GND and 3.3 V
if left open (an internal pull-up is present). V
CORE
voltage is programmable connecting an
external resistor divider at the feedback pin (VCORE_FDBK).
Once programmed to a value at power-up, this value cannot change during the power cycle.
Purposely the system runs at a single fixed value for V
DDL
and V
CORE
for the life of the
product.
All the linear regulators start with a controlled slew rate when the pre-regulated voltage
reaches V
DDL_ENUP
threshold as indicated in the electrical characteristics table. All the
linear regulators are short circuit protected with a limited current.
5.4 Tracking regulators
Four low drop-out tracking regulators (VSA, VSB, VSC and VSD) are supplied by the output
of the switching pre-regulator. They track the output voltage of the VDD5 linear regulator
with the accuracy as specified in the electrical characteristic table.
The VSA regulator also tracks an external voltage reference (TRACK_REF pin) and the
tracking voltage is selected by the REF_SEL pin.
If REF_SEL is tied High (5 V) then V
TRK_REF
is tracked. If REF_SEL is left open then V
DD5
is tracked. There is an internal pull-down on REF_SEL.
The tracking supplies are intended to drive loads that are external to the ECU so they are
short circuit protected with the current limited. The outputs of the tracking regulators also
withstand short circuit to the battery.
A short circuit to GND, continuous or intermittent on one tracking supply will not affect any
other supply, including the preregulator output voltage V
B
. In addition to these requirements,
all sensor supplies shall be capable of operating with up to a 15 μF load on the supply line.
This load may be present during initial startup, or be applied after the supply has been
powered up. In either case, the application of this load shall not cause the tracking
regulators to be permanently disabled.
VSB, VSC and VSD regulators can be disabled with VS_EN pin.
5.5 VKAM and VSTBY linear regulators
These two outputs are fully integrated low quiescent current low drop out regulators. The
input VBAT is used as the source of these supplies. These outputs are operational during
both standby and run mode; these are the only outputs operational during standby (V
BAT
not
present).
The VKAM regulator has two programmable levels: 1.0 V (VPROG1 pin connected to GND)
or 1.5 V (if this pin is left open, an internal pull-up is present).
The V
STBY
regulator has two programmable levels: 2.6 V (VPROG2 pin connected to GND)
or 3.3 V (if this pin is left open, an internal pull-up is present).
The STBY_OK pin indicates when the V
STBY
is out of range (voltage below the threshold
indicated in the electrical characteristic table). Once driven low it should stay low for a
minimal amount of time allowing external circuitry to latch.

5.6 RESET monitors
RST5 is the reset signal tied to the V
DD5
supply. This is an open collector active low signal
that pulls low when V
DD5
is out of range.
RSTL is the reset signal for the V
DDL
supply. This is an open collector active low signal that
pulls low when V
DDL
is out of range. RST5 and RSTL are also driven low when STBY_OK
pin is driven low, regardless of the status of V
DD5
and V
DDL
.
Reset Delay is the time duration from when the output (V
DD5
or V
DDL
) is within range to
when the reset pin (RST5 or RSTL) is released. RST5 and RSTL use separate timers. This
delay is programmable via an external resistor connected to RST_TIM pin. A value of
4.7 kΩ corresponds to 1 ms and 47 kΩ to 10 ms. All values in between are linear
approximated. The timer delay is common however the attack and release times are only
dependant on the condition of the respective supplies (V
DD5
or V
DDL
).
5.7 Thermal protection
The tracking regulators incorporate thermal limit with shutdown. When the junction
temperature reaches the shutdown threshold, if there is a tracking regulator in current
limitation, it switches off and all the other regulators stay on. When the temperature
decreases the regulator restarts. The over temperature shutdown has a hysteresis to avoid
thermal pumping.
5.8 Reference current
The L9758 provides a DC voltage at the REXT pin. An external resistor to ground creates a
reference current which is mirrored internally for use in the device.
The reference current is used to supply all the analog blocks and to charge and discharge
an integrated capacitor to generate a 5 MHz clock for the switching functionality.
Figure 3. Current reference generator
The circuit is designed for a 10 kΩ resistor. For all affected parameters, this resistor value is
mentioned in the electrical characteristics section.

Operating modes L9758
24/30 DocID14273 Rev 5
6 Operating modes
There are two modes of operation of the power supply: standby and run mode. However
during RUN mode, there are three input voltage regions: low voltage, normal voltage and
high voltage. A brief definition and description of each of these operating regions is
described below.
6.1 Standby mode
STANDBY mode is defined by the following conditions:
VBAT is within the required voltage range
VBAT_SW may or may not be present
IGN is in the OFF state
PSU_EN is not asserted by the microprocessor
During standby mode, all functions are shutdown except the two standby supplies, VKAM
and VSTBY, and the circuitry monitoring IGN and PSU_EN. During standby mode, current
consumption is minimized. The standby functions are powered from VBAT.
There is no currents drawn from VBAT_SW or any other input except those required to
perform the standby functions. Outputs, other than IGN_ON are disabled, sourcing nor
sinking current.
6.2 Run mode
RUN mode is defined by the following conditions:
VBAT is within the required range
VBAT_SW is within the required range
Either IGN is in the Run state and/or PSU_EN is in the active state
During RUN mode, all functions can be enabled. All functions listed above, with the
exception of the standby functions, are powered by VBAT_SW.
If VBAT is not present, the circuit is fully running with the exception of PSU_EN and the
standby functions (VKAM and VSTBY). In this condition the entry into the RUN MODE can
only be performed by the IGN pin and the circuit is kept running until IGN pin is pulled low.
6.2.1 Entry into RUN mode
RUN mode is entered when at least one of the two signals IGN_SW or PSU_EN goes in the
active state. These two signals may be applied in any order or simultaneously.
When the IGN input is valid, the active low IGN_ON signal is asserted.
The design of VDD5, VDDL and VCORE regulators limits the slew rate of the output
voltages during the start-up as indicated in the electrical characteristic table and ensures
that V
DD5
is always greater than V
DDL
and V
CORE
.
As indicated in Figure 4, the switching regulator starts first with soft start control or reduced
current limitation. When the VB voltage reaches the VDDL_ENUP threshold all the linear
regulators start with controlled slew-rate. The slew-rate control is done controlling the slew
