3 Description

The DRV3946-Q1 is a highly integrated solution to drive two solenoids for automotive applications such

as contactor relays in EV battery management systems. It includes power supplies, current sensing and

current regulation, configurable peak and hold currents and associated timings, and diagnostics and protection

functions. It also incorporates several unique functions that enhance performance compared to traditional

discrete solenoid drivers. These functions include integrated redundant clamp circuits to quickly discharge the

load current, an addressable SPI, and modified half-bridge driver stage with low on-resistance switches.

The device controls solenoid loads through a single wire low-side connection and can pair with an external

high-side switch (that can be shared) for redundant shut-off function. Integrated switches perform charging,

recirculation and clamping. The device supports internal and external current control modes. The PWM

frequency is configurable, with added low frequency dithering using automatic pseudo random frequencies

generation and wave shaping. Internal PWM current control loop leads to reduced software development, since

MCU current control loop is not needed. The DRV3946-Q1 supports flexible current control parameters to

support wide range of solenoid types. Configurable peak and hold current and corresponding timing parameters

allow system level power saving.

The DRV3946-Q1 is targeted to be functional safety-compliant, with ASIL-C rated functional safety goal for

relay control and avoiding unintended operation. The device supports comprehensive protection and diagnostic

features, such as continuous monitoring of load for open and short detection, on and off-state diagnostics,

voltage monitors, short protection and high voltage rated IOs.

An addressable SPI allows multiple devices to be controlled on a shared SPI bus. In addition to reducing

required MCU resources, the addressable SPI incorporates a broadcast command structure that can enable

all devices on the shared addressed bus to take certain actions simultaneously. The SPI incorporates multiple

robustness functions including a CRC, address readback capability, and various bus fault detection mechanisms.
