Power Driver Modules FAQ

What is the function of the ITrip pin?

The ITrip pin serves as the current sense input connected to the internal shunt resistor. It triggers over-current protection when the voltage exceeds the threshold, disabling all outputs to prevent damage.

How does the module handle fault conditions?

Upon detecting an over-current or fault condition, the module disables all outputs. The FAULT pin indicates the status, and the driver automatically resets after a specific delay once the fault condition is cleared.

What is the purpose of the internal thermistor?

The internal NTC thermistor provides temperature feedback via the VTH pin. This allows the controller to monitor junction temperature and implement thermal protection or derating strategies.
