Description

The L9374 is a four channel low side driver with integrated recirculation diodes. The switching of the channels is programmable via a SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). The main time base is given by an external clock via CLKin. The Clock Unit monitors this external clock and provides the system clock for all timings.
