Table 4-1 Pin Functions
PIN TYPE DESCRIPTION
NUMBER NAME
1,

2, 3, 4

 VOUT O High-side switch output, connect to load

5, 18, 19

 VBB Power Power supply 

6

 LHI I Externally enables limp home mode.

7

 VDD Power Logic supply input

8

 GND GND Device ground

9, 16, 20, 21

 NC O No connect

10

 SNS O SNS current output, use a parallel RC network to the GND pin of the IC

11

 FLT / WAKE O Fault output – on any (one or more) channel - open drain, pull up with a 4.7K resistor to VDD pin. Also functions as a wake signal to the MCU upon load current demand in key-off mode.

12

 SDI I SPI device (secondary) data input 

13

 SDO O SPI Data Output from the device. Internally pulled up to VDD.

14

 SCLK I SPI Clock input

15

 CSN I Chip select. Internally pulled up to VDD
17 DI / OUT_DIS I Configurable through EEPROM through DI_OUT_DIS_FN bit.

If programmed as DI:  Sets the output behavior in the LIMP HOME mode, if configured through the CHx_LH_IN bits

If programmed as OUT_DIS: Disables VOUTx if asserted high if OUT_DIS_MASK_CHx = 0.

The pin needs to be connected to MCU or other HI/LO source through a 10K resistor tor protection and enabling the reverse polarity FET turn-on function.
