The L9690 IC is an application specific standard component for airbag system chip. Its main functions include

power management, deployment drivers (supporting both squib and low-energy actuator loads), deployment

voltage regulators, remote sensor interfaces (supporting PSI-5 satellite sensors), diagnostics, deployment arming,

hall-effect/switch sensor interfaces, general purpose output low-side drivers, watchdog, LIN interface. A simplified

block diagram for this IC is shown in the Figure 1.
