BTN7960PAKSA1

Overview

The BTN7960PAKSA1 is a high-current half-bridge driver from Infineon's NovalithIC series, designed for DC motor applications. It features an integrated DMOS power stage with a continuous output current of 70A and a peak current capability of 105A. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 8V to 18V. It utilizes a TO-220-7 through-hole package (P-TO220-7) for robust thermal performance. Key electrical characteristics include low on-resistance values of 4.5mΩ for the high-side and 3.5mΩ for the low-side switch at 25°C. The component supports a junction temperature range from -40°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-power DMOS half-bridge capable of driving inductive loads such as DC motors.
• Includes comprehensive protection mechanisms against over-temperature, short circuits, and under-voltage lockout.
• Features controlled slew rates to minimize electromagnetic interference during switching operations.

Applications

• Brushed DC motor control in automotive systems
• General industrial motor drive applications
• Electromechanical actuator control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PAKSA1 against official Infineon documentation to confirm pinout and packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older variants may differ. Check for end-of-life notices or recommended replacement parts due to potential product lifecycle changes. Ensure thermal management design accounts for the specified package thermal resistance.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high continuous current handling in a through-hole configuration. Compare on-resistance values against thermal constraints to ensure efficient operation. Verify that the logic interface levels are compatible with the controlling microcontroller. Consider the physical dimensions of the TO-220-7 package for PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BTN79xx family of NovalithIC drivers, which are specialized for high-current motor control. It shares functional similarities with the BTS7960B but differs in package type and specific current ratings. The family is characterized by integrated power stages and extensive diagnostic features suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments.
