ATA6836C-PXQW

Overview

The ATA6836C-PXQW is a hex half-bridge gate driver manufactured by Microchip Technology, formerly Atmel. It integrates six independent half-bridge drivers with serial input control for managing high-side and low-side power switches. 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, supporting fast switching applications. The component functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C. It utilizes a QFN-24 surface-mount package and draws a typical operating supply current of 800 µA.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent half-bridge drivers with serial input control
• Supports high peak output currents for driving power switches
• Operates over an extended industrial and automotive temperature range
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount package design

Applications

• Automotive lighting systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PXQW against official Microchip documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm end-of-life status as distributor records indicate this part may be discontinued. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints before procurement. Validate RoHS compliance details through the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a multi-channel half-bridge solution with serial interface control is required. Consider the 10 A output capability and wide operating voltage range for robust power switching needs. Evaluate the QFN-24 package constraints for thermal management and board space. Verify that the serial communication protocol aligns with the system controller requirements.

Part Context

This component 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 ratings or specific electrical characteristics. These drivers are designed for applications requiring multiple isolated or semi-isolated gate drive channels controlled via a serial interface.
