driver featuring a very low supply current, with integrated SPI interface and high efficiency 100 mA micropower step-down switching regulator peak current control loop mode. The IC, realized in STMicroelectronics VIPowerTM technology, is intended to drive any kind of load with one side connected to ground. Active channel current limitation combined with thermal shutdown, independent for each channel, and automatic restart, protect the device against overload. Additional embedded functions are: loss of GND protection that automatically turns off the device outputs in case of ground disconnection, undervoltage shutdown with hysteresis, Power Good diagnostic for valid supply voltage range recognition, output enable function for immediate power outputs ON/OFF, and programmable watchdog function for microcontroller safe operation; case overtemperature protection to control the IC case temperature. The device embeds a four-wire SPI serial peripheral with selectable 8 or 16-bit operations; through a select pin the device can also operate with a parallel interface. Both the 8-bit and 16-bit SPI operations are compatible with daisy chain connection. The SPI interface allows command of the output driver by enabling or disabling each channel featuring, in 16-bit format, a parity check control for communication robustness. It also allows the monitoring of the status of the IC signaling Power Good, overtemperature condition for each channel, IC pre-warning temperature detection. Built-in thermal shutdown protects the chip from overtemperature and short-circuit. In overload condition, the channel turns OFF and ON again automatically after the IC temperature decreases below a threshold fixed by a temperature hysteresis so that junction temperature is controlled. If this condition makes case temperature reaching case temperature limit, TCSD, overloaded channels are turned OFF and restart, nonsimultaneously, when case and junction temperature decrease below their own reset threshold. If the case of thermal reset, the channels loaded are not switched on until the junction temperature reset event. Non-overloaded channels continue to operate normally. Case temperature above TCSD is reported through the TWARN open drain pin. An internal circuit provides a not latched common FAULT indicator reporting if one of the following events occurs: channel OVT (overtemperature), parity check fail. The Power Good diagnostic warns the controller that the supply voltage is below a fixed threshold. The watchdog function is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault of the host controller. The watchdog circuitry generates an internal reset on expiry of the internal watchdog timer. The watchdog timer reset can be achieved by applying a negative pulse on the WD pin. The watchdog function can be disabled by the WD_EN dedicated pin. This pin also allows the programming of a wide range of watchdog timings. An internal LED matrix driver circuitry (4 rows, 2 columns) allows the detection of the status of the single outputs. An integrated step-down voltage regulator provides supply voltage to the internal LED matrix driver and logic output buffers and can be used to supply the external optocouplers if the application requires isolation. The regulator is protected against short-circuit or overload conditions thanks to pulse-by-pulse current limit with a peak current control loop. 6/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 Block diagram DC-DC converter VCC PG DCVDD V REF P HAS E FB BOO T Figure 1: Block diagram Undervoltage and Power Good SEL1/IN1 WD_EN/IN2 OUT_EN/IN3 WD/IN4 SDI/IN5 SPI Logic CLK/IN6 SS/IN7 SDO/IN8 SEL2 Current limiter Junction temp. detection VREG ROW0 ROW1 ROW2 Vcc clamp Clamp power Case temp. detection LED drivng Pull- down resistor OUT1 OUT2 OUT3 OUT4 OUT5 OUT6 OUT7 OUT8 DocID027849 Rev 3 TWARN GND FAU LT CO L1 ROW3 CO L0 2 Block diagram GIPG020420151244LM 7/43 Pin connection 3 VNI8200XP-32 Pin connection Figure 2: Pin connection (top view) 1 2 SEL2 NC SEL1/IN1 NC 3 WD_EN/IN2 OUT1 4 OUT_EN/IN3 OUT2 WD/IN4 OUT3 SDI/IN5 OUT4 CLK/IN6 OUT5 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 SS/IN7 TAB=Vcc OUT6 SDO/IN8 OUT7 VREG OUT8 COL0 NC COL1 BOOT DCVDD PHASE GND VREF ROW0 FB ROW1 TWARN ROW2 FAULT ROW3 PG 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 GIPG020420151249LM Table 2: Pin description 8/43 Pin Name Type Description 1 SEL2 Logic input SPI/parallel selection mode 2 SEL1/IN1 Logic input 8/16-bit SPI selection mode/channel 1 input 3 WD_EN/ IN2 Logic/analog input 4 OUT_EN /IN3 Logic input Output enable/channel 3 input 5 WD/IN4 Logic input Watchdog input.

DocID027849 Rev 3 19/43 Pin function description VNI8200XP-32 9 Pin function description 9.1 SPI/parallel selection mode (SEL2) This pin allows the selection of the IC interfacing mode. The SPI interface is selected if SEL2 = H, while the parallel interface is selected if SEL2 = L, according to : Table 13: Pin function description a SEL2 = H SPI operation Pin 9.2 SEL2 = L parallel operation SDO/IN8 SDO Serial data output IN8 Input to channel 8 SS /IN7 SS Slave select IN7 Input to channel 7 CLK/IN6 CLK Serial clock IN6 Input to channel 6 SDI/IN5 SDI Serial data input IN5 Input to channel 5 WD/IN4 WD Watchdog input IN4 Input to channel 4 OUT_EN/IN3 OUT_EN IC OUTPUT enable / disable IN3 Input to channel 3 WD_EN/IN2 WD_EN Watchdog enable / disable and timing preset IN2 Input to channel 2 SEL1/IN1 SEL1 8/16-bit SPI selection mode IN1 Input to channel 1 Serial data in (SDI) If SEL2 = H, this pin is the input of the serial control frame. SDI is read on CLK rising edges and, therefore, the microcontroller must change SDI state during the CLK falling edges. After the SS falling edge, the SDI is equal to the most significant bit of the control frame (Figure 5: "SPI mode diagram"). 9.3 Serial data out (SDO) If SEL2 = H, this pin is the output of the serial fault frame. SDO is updated on CLK falling edges and, therefore, the microcontroller must read SDO state during the CLK rising edges. The SDO pin is tri-stated when SS signal is high and it is equal to the most significant bit of the fault frame after the SS falling edge (Figure 5: "SPI mode diagram"). 9.4 Serial data clock (CLK) If SEL2 = H, the CLK line is the input clock for serial data sampling. On CLK rising edge the SDI input is sampled by the IC and the SDO output is sampled by the host microcontroller. On CLK falling edge, both SDI and SDO lines are updated to the next bit of the frame, from the most to the less significant one (see Figure 5: "SPI mode diagram"). When the SS a 20/43 SEL2 has an internal weak pull-down. DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 Pin function description signal is high, slave not selected, the microcontroller should drive the CLK low (the settings for the MCU SPI port are CPHA = 0 and CPOL = 0). 9.5 Slave select If SEL2 = H, the slave select ( SS ) signal is used to enable the VNI8200XP-32 serial communication shift register; data is flushed-in through the SDI pin and flushed-out from the SDO pin only when the SS pin is low. On the SS pin falling edge the shift register (containing the fault conditions) is frozen, so any change on the power switches status is latched until the next SS falling edge event and the SDO output is enabled. On the SS pin rising edge event the 8/16 bits present on the SPI shift register are evaluated and the outputs are driven according to this frame. If more than 8/16 bits (depending on the SPI settings) are flushed inside only the last 8/16 are evaluated; the others are flushed out from the SDO pin after fault condition bits; in this way a proper communication is possible also in a daisy chain configuration. Figure 5: SPI mode diagram 9.6 8/16-bit selection (SEL1) If SEL2 = H, SEL1 is used to select between two possible SPI configurations: the 8-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = L) and the 16-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = H). 8/16-bit SPI operation is described below. 9.7 Output enable (OUT_EN) If SEL2 = H, the OUT_EN pin provides a fast way to disable all the outputs simultaneously. When the OUT_EN pin is driven low for at least TRES, the outputs are disabled while fault conditions in the SPI register are latched. To enable the outputs, the OUT_EN pin should be raised and the IC should be re-programmed through the SPI interface. As fault conditions are latched inside the IC and SPI interface also works while the OUT_EN pin is driven low, the SPI can be used to detect if a fault condition occurred before than the reset event. DocID027849 Rev 3 21/43 Pin function description VNI8200XP-32 The device is ready to operate normally after a T SU period. The OUT_EN pin is the fastest way to disable all outputs when a fault occurs. Figure 6: Output channel enable/disable behavior 9.8 IC warning case temperature detection The TWARN pin is an active low open drain output. This pin is active if the IC case temperature exceeds TCSD. According to the PCB thermal design and RthJC value, this function allows a warning about a PCB overheating condition to be given. The TWARN bit is also available through SPI. This bit is not latched: the TWARN pin is low only while the case overtemperature condition is active (T C > TCSD) and is released when this condition is removed (T C < TCR). 9.9 Fault indication The FAULT pin is an open drain active low fault indication pin. This pin is activated by one or more of the following conditions: Channel overtemperature (OVT) This pin is activated when at least one of the channels is in junction overtemperature. Unlike the SPI fault detection bits, this signal is not latched: the FAULT pin is low only when the fault condition is active and is released if the input driving signal is OFF or after the OVT protection condition has been removed. This last event occurs if the channel temperature decreases below the threshold level and the case temperature has not exceeded TCSD or is below TCR. This means that the FAULT pin is low only while the junction overtemperature is active (T J > TTSD) and is released after this condition has been removed (TJ < TR and TC < TCR). Parity check fail When SPI mode is used (SEL2 = H), if a parity check fault of the incoming SPI frame is detected or counted, CLK rising edges are different by a multiple of 8, the FAULT pin is 22/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 Pin function description kept low. When counted CLK rising edges are a multiple of 8 and parity check is valid, the FAULT pin is kept high. 9.10 Power Good ( PG ) The PG terminal is an open drain, which indicates the status of the supply voltage. When VCC supply voltage reaches the Vsth1 threshold, PG goes into a high impedance state. It goes into a low impedance state when VCC falls below the Vsth2 threshold. In 16-bit SPI mode, a PG bit is also available. This bit is set high when the Power Good diagnostic is active, it is otherwise cleared. Figure 7: Power Good diagnostic PG VPGH2 Vcc VPGH1 GIPG030420151221LM 9.11 Programmable watchdog counter reset (WD) If SEL2 = H, the VNI8200XP-32 embeds a watchdog counter that must be erased, with a negative pulse on the WD pin, before it expires. If the WD counter elapses, the VNI8200XP-32 goes into an internal reset state where all the outputs are disabled; to restart normal operation a negative pulse must be applied to the WD pin. The watchdog enable/disable pin should be connected through an external divider to V REG. The watchdog time is fixed in the following table: Table 14: Programmable watchdog time VWD_EN tWM 0.25 VREG > VWD_EN Disable 0.25 VREG VWD_EN < 0.5 VREG 40 25% ms 0.25 VREG VWD_EN < 0.75 VREG 80 25% ms 0.75 VREG VWD_EN = VREG 160 25% ms DocID027849 Rev 3 23/43 Pin function description VNI8200XP-32 Figure 8: Watchdog reset 24/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 SPI operation (SEL2 = H) 10 SPI operation (SEL2 = H) 10.1 8-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = L) If SEL2 = H, the 8-bit SPI mode is based on an 8-bit command frame sent from the microcontroller to the IC; each bit directly drives the corresponding output where LSB drives output 0 and MSB drives output 7. Each bit, set to `1', activates (closes) the corresponding output. At the same time, the IC transfers the channel fault conditions (OVT) to the microcontroller. These fault conditions are latched at the occurrence and cleared after each communication (each time the SS signal has a positive transition). Each bit, set to `1', indicates an OVT condition for the corresponding channel. Table 15: Command 8-bit frame (master-to-slave) MSB IN7 LSB IN6 IN5 IN4 IN3 IN2 IN1 IN0 Table 16: Fault 8-bit frame (slave-to-master) MSB F7 10.2 LSB F6 F5 F4 F3 F2 F1 F0 16-bit SPI mode (SEL1 = H) The 16-bit SPI mode is based on a 16-bit command frame sent from the microcontroller to the IC; the first 8 bits directly drive the output channels (each bit, set to `1', activates the corresponding output), the other 8 bits contain a 4-bit parity check code where the last bit (the inversion of the previous one) is used to detect a communication error condition (providing at least a transition in each frame): P0 = IN0 +IN1+ IN2 +IN3 +IN4+ IN5+ IN6 +IN7 P1 = IN1 + IN3 + IN5 + IN7 P2 = IN0 + IN2 + IN4 + IN6 nP0 = not P0 Table 17: Command 16-bit frame (master-to-slave) MSB IN7 LSB IN6 IN5 IN4 IN3 IN2 IN1 IN0 P2 P1 P0 At the same time, the IC transfers to the microcontroller a 16-bit fault frame where the first 8 bits indicate a channel fault (OVT) condition (each bit, set to `1', indicates an OVT event), the following 4 bits provide general fault condition information. FB_OK: this bit is related to the DC-DC regulation: at the DC-DC turn-on, this bit is low and becomes high after FB rises above 90% of the nominal VFB voltage and a correct SPI communication occurred. If the FB voltage falls below 80% of the nominal VFB voltage, this bit is zero; TWARN (IC warning case temperature), PC (parity check fail, the bit, set to `1', indicates a PC fail or the length is not a multiple of 8) and PG (Power Good, see Section 9.10: "Power Good DocID027849 Rev 3 25/43 nP0 SPI operation (SEL2 = H) VNI8200XP-32 (PG)"). The last 4 bits are used as parity check bits and communication error condition (see command 16-bit frame): P0 = F0+ F1+ F2 + F3 + F4 + F5 + F6 + F7 P1 = PC+ FB_OK + F1 + F3 + F5 + F7 P2 = PG + TWARN + F0 + F2 + F4 + F6 nP0 = not P0 Table 18: Fault 16-bit frame (slave-to-master) MSB F7 LSB F6 F5 F4 F3 F2 F1 F0 FB_OK TWARN PC PG Channel indications are latched and cleared after a communication only. 26/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 P2 P1 P0 nP0 VNI8200XP-32 11 LED driving array LED driving array The LED driving array carries out the status of the output channels (ON or OFF). Figure 9: LED driving array The following equation is an indication how to choose the Rext resistor value: Rext= (VCOLmin.) - (VROWmax.)- VF(LED) / IF(LED) where IF(LED) 7 mA and (VCOL min.) and (VROW max.) can be found in Table 11: "LED driving array" and VF(LED) and IF(LED) depend on the electrical characteristics of the LEDs. DocID027849 Rev 3 27/43 Step-down switching regulator 12 VNI8200XP-32 Step-down switching regulator The IC embeds a high efficiency 100 mA micropower step-down switching regulator. The regulator is protected against short-circuit or overload conditions. Pulse-by-pulse current limit regulation is obtained in normal operation through a current loop control. A low ESR output capacitor connected to the VREG pin helps to limit the regulated voltage ripple; a low ESR (less than 10 m) capacitor is preferable. The control loop pin FB allows 3.3 V to be regulated, connecting it directly to VREG, or 5 V connecting it through a voltage divider Rl/Rfbl. The DC-DC converter can be turned off by connecting the feedback pin to the DCVDD pin. In some applications it is possible to supply a 5 V or 3.3 V voltage externally or, in the case of two or more VNI8200XP-32 inside the same board, it's possible to configure the DC-DC converter on only one device and also supply the other ICs. if the DC-DC converter is adjusted to provide 3.3 V regulation and the VDC_out is used to power an external load and not the device, a 33 k resistor has to be connected on V DC_out pin. 28/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 13 Typical circuits and conventions Typical circuits and conventions Figure 10: Typical circuit for switching regulation VDC-out = 3.3 V DocID027849 Rev 3 29/43 Typical circuits and conventions VNI8200XP-32 Figure 11: Typical circuit for switching regulation VDC-out = 5 V 30/43 DocID027849 Rev 3 VNI8200XP-32 Typical circuits and conventions Figure 12: SPI directional logic convention SDI VREG SS CLK OUT1 OUT2 SDO OUT3 OUT4 WD OUT_EN WD_EN TAB=Vcc OUT5 OUT6 SEL1 OUT7 SEL2 OUT8 PG FAULT TWARN GND GIPG030420151337LM DocID027849 Rev 3 31/43 Thermal management 14 VNI8200XP-32 Thermal management The power dissipation in the IC is the main factor that sets the safe operating condition of the device in the application. Therefore, it must be taken into account very carefully. Heatsinking can be achieved using copper on the PCB with proper area and thickness. The following image shows the junction-to-ambient thermal impedance values for the PowerSSO-36 package.
