ATA6836C-PXQW-1

Overview

The ATA6836C-PXQW-1 is a hex half-bridge gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly Atmel. It integrates six independent half-bridge drivers with serial input control capabilities. The device operates within a supply voltage range of -300 mV to 40 V and delivers an output current of 10 A per channel. It features rise and fall times of 13 ns each. The component supports surface-mount installation in a QFN-24 package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent half-bridge drivers for multi-phase motor control applications
• Features serial input control interface for simplified system integration
• Supports high peak output currents suitable for driving power MOSFETs or IGBTs
• Operates over an extended industrial temperature range up to 150°C

Applications

• Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives
• Stepper motor control systems
• Industrial automation actuators
• Automotive electronic control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Microchip documentation, as variations may exist between PXQW and other packaging options. Confirm end-of-life status and obsolescence notices prior to design-in. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the QFN-24 package. Cross-reference thermal requirements with system cooling solutions given the high junction temperature rating.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for driving multiple half-bridges is required. The integrated serial control reduces pin count compared to parallel input alternatives. Consider the 10 A output capability for medium-power switching applications. Verify that the -300 mV to 40 V supply range aligns with the target power stage requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ATA6836 family of hex half-bridge drivers produced by Microchip Technology. The family includes variants such as the ATA6836 and ATA6837, which share similar functional architectures but may differ in temperature grades or specific electrical characteristics. These drivers are designed for robust performance in demanding motor control environments.
