This H-bridge gate-drive is designed for several body and powertrain applications. The IC drives a continuous current DC motor in a full H-bridge configuration. An external microcontroller controls the driving function of the IC by providing a PWM signal and a direction signal. It allows the use of the IC in a motor-control application.PWM control is performed by the low-side switch while the high-side switch is permanently on in the driving phase. The VMODE configuration pin can be set to 5V or 3.3V mode. The window watchdog has a programmable time. It integrates a LIN transceiver 2.1 for communication.
