A4918-1A Datasheet Automotive Three-phase MOSFET Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

Overview: A4918-1A Automotive Three-Phase MOSFET Driver.

General Description

The A4918 is an N-channel power MOSFET driver capable of controlling MOSFETs connected in a 3-phase bridge arrangement and is specifically designed for automotive applications with high-power inductive loads, such as BLDC motors.

A unique charge pump regulator provides the supply for the MOSFET gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V and allows the A4918 to operate with a reduced gate drive down to 4.5 V.

Gate drive voltage and strength are programmable to help reduce EMC issues.
