L99BM2P-FP-TR

L99BM2P is a single channel pyro-fuse driver capable to break high voltage battery line quickly and reliably in case of short circuit.

To accomplish this function, the device features a dual FET output stage made of a HS and a LS powerMOS. The stage is equipped with a closed loop current feedback and can be configured to deliver controlled firing profiles programming both current value and time duration.

Moreover, the power stage is able to perform a defined number of auto-retry attempts based on the success or not of the deployment.

The device embeds a programmable firing logic allowing to generate the trigger signal from two SPI commands or from two digital inputs (FENH/FENL).

The digital input triggers are compatible with both level and PWM encoding, supporting 16 kHz and 125 kHz encoded signals.

The device supports the charging of an external capacitor to be used as tank capacitor or as energy reserve (ER) in case of battery loss. An internal boost regulator can be used to control the ER cap voltage around a programmable setpoint. Boosting the input battery voltage allows using smaller ER capacitor values to store the energy needed for firing, even in case of ECU battery loss.

The device has been designed to deliver maximum safety and performance while still being energy efficient. A low-power operation strategy allows minimizing the idle consumption, keeping the device in an ultra low power state while still performing all the diagnostic.

The periodicity of the diagnostic sweeps can be programmed in order to comply with any FTTI. During such ultra low power state, the device is still sensitive to wake-up/trigger sources in order to be ready to fire.

Operation in conjunction with L99BM2C companion chip allows simplifying the software development, as many safety mechanisms are already implemented by L99BM2C.
