L9690-TR

Specialized ICS Overview

The L9690-TR is an automotive-grade airbag system chip designed for advanced passive safety applications. It integrates high-frequency power supply modules, including boost and buck converters operating at 2 MHz with integrated synchronous rectifiers. The device features two fully isolated deployment voltage regulators set to a nominal 18V output, utilizing external safing FETs. It includes integrated safing logic with user-programmable thresholds and dual SPI interfaces for global functions and remote sensors. A LIN interface supports OCS message decoding. Qualified under AEC-Q100, it operates in single-chip or master/slave configurations within a 128-TQFP package.
