Description

The L9781 is a multi valve pre-driver capable of driving 11 external N-channel logic

level MOSFETs, controlling up to 5 inductive loads through peak and hold current

control and one DC/DC step-up converter, providing full protection against accidental

faults on the external hardware. The load peak and hold current control (together with

the diagnosis) is done by the internal configurable Finite State Machines (FSMs)

needing only the start of actuation commands from the main microcontroller.
