L9826 is a protected octal low-side driver IC designed for the automotive environment. It features 8 channels with 450mA output current capability, typical RDSON of 1.5Ω at TJ = 25 °C, parallel control for output 1 and 2, SPI control on all outputs, reset function, diagnostic through 8 bit SPI, intrinsic output voltage clamping of 50V (Typ) for protection of inductive load drive, short circuit current limitation and thermal shutdown for outputs 1 and 2, and overcurrent and short circuit shutdown for outputs 3 to 8. The L9826 is packaged in SO20.
