Dual Triple DMOS Output Driver with Serial Input Control T6817
1. Introduction
The T6817 is a fully-protected universal driver interface designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS technology. It is used to control up to 6 different loads by a microcontroller in automotive and industrial applications. Each of the 3 high-side and 3 low-side drivers is capable of driving currents up to 600 mA. The drivers are freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a standard serial data interface. Therefore, all kinds of loads such as bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors can be combined. The IC design particularly supports applications of H-bridges to drive DC motors. Protection against short-circuit conditions, overtemperature, under- and overvoltage is implemented.
