DUAL DMOS
FULL-BRIDGE DRIVER
Designed to interface between external PWM control logic and
inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc motors, or stepper motors,
each full bridge can operate with output currents to ±2.5 A and operating
voltages to 50 V.
Low r
during PWM operation. Internal charge pump circuitry is used to create
a boosted voltage to fully enhance the high-side DMOS switches.
2
Three TTL-compatible logic-input terminals per bridge allow flexibility in configuring PWM control.
2
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis,
and crossover-current protection. Special power -up sequencing is not
required.
The A3971SLB is supplied in a 24-lead plastic SOIC with a copper
batwing tab. The power tab is at ground potential and needs no electrical isolation.
DMOS output drivers provide low power dissipation
