BTS7960P

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Overview

The BTS7960P is a high-current PN half-bridge driver from the NovalithIC family, manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It utilizes DMOS technology to drive inductive loads such as DC motors. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 5.5V to 27.5V and delivers an output current of 40A per channel with a peak capability of 60A. It features low on-resistance values of 9 mΩ for the low-side and 7 mΩ for the high-side switch at 25°C. The component is housed in a P-TO-220-7 through-hole package and supports a junction temperature range from -40°C to 150°C.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to discontinued status. Confirm package variant matches P-TO-220-7 specifications. Review latest datasheet revisions for any design-in updates. Ensure thermal management aligns with specified junction temperature limits. Validate compatibility with existing logic interfaces before integration.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high continuous current handling in a through-hole format. Consider the specific on-resistance values for efficiency calculations. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on the TO-220-7 package characteristics. Ensure supply voltages remain within the 5.5V to 27.5V operational window. Check if integrated protection features meet system safety standards without external components.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the NovalithIC series of smart power switches. It shares core architecture with surface-mount variants like the BTS7960B but differs in packaging. The P-TO-220-7 form factor facilitates manual assembly or wave soldering processes. It serves as a legacy solution for high-power motor drivers where leaded packages are preferred.

Full Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. The BTS7960B offers identical electrical performance in a surface-mount PG-TO263-7-1 package. Designers requiring equivalent functionality must adapt PCB layout and thermal strategies accordingly.
