A4957 Datasheet Full Bridge MOSFET Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

Overview: A4957 Full Bridge MOSFET Driver.

General Description

The A4957 is a full-bridge controller for use with external N-channel power MOSFETs and is specifically designed for applications with high-power inductive loads such as brush DC motors.

A unique charge pump regulator provides full ( >10 V ) gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V and allows the A4957 to operate with a reduced gate drive, down to 4.5 V.

A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above battery supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs.

Key Features

  • High-current gate drive for N-channel MOSFET full bridge.
  • Independent control of each MOSFET.
  • Charge pump for low supply voltage operation.
  • Cross-conduction protection with adjustable dead time.
  • 4.5 to 50 V supply voltage range.
  • Diagnostics output.
  • Low current sleep mode.
