FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L9613B is a monolithic bus driver designedto provide bidirectional serial communication in automo-
tiveapplications.
The device provides a bidirectional link, called K, to the V
Bat
related diagnosis bus. It also includes a
separate comparator L which is also able to be linked to the V
Bat
bus. The input TX and output RX of K
are related to VCC with her integrated pull up resistances. Also the L comparator output LO has a pull
up resistanceconnectedto VCC.
All VBat bus defined inputs LI and K have supply voltage dependent thresholds together with sufficent
hysteresis to suppress line spikes. These pins are protected against overvoltages, shorts to GND and
VS and can also be driven beyond VS and GND. These features are also given for TX, RX and LI only
taking into account the behaviour of the internal pull up resistances. The thermal shut down function
switches OFF the K output if the chip temperatureincreases above the thermal shut down threshold. To
reactivate K again the chiptemperaturemust decrease below the K switch ON temp. To achieveno fault
for VS undervoltage conditions the outputs will be switched OFF and stay at high impedance. The de-
vice is also protected against reverse battery condition. During lack of VS or GND all pins shows high
impedance characteristic. To realize a lack of the VS related bus line LI and K the outputs LO and RX
shows defined ON status. Supressing all 4 classes of ”Schaffner” signals (Schaffner 1; 2; 3a,b; 4) all
pins can be load with short energy pulses of max.

ble baud rate >130Kbaud,controlled output slopes for low EMI, a wide power supply voltage range and
