• Direct microcontroller interface with digital diagnostic feedback
• Current sense output proportional to motor current
• Comprehensive protection against thermal, overvoltage, and cross-conduction events

Applications

• Automotive fan control systems
• Blower motor drives
• Window lift actuators
• Seat adjustment motors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification status aligns with project requirements. Check current lifecycle status as distributors may list this part as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts using the PowerSSO-36 TP package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust automotive reliability and integrated power MOSFETs. It is suitable for driving brushed DC motors where bidirectional control and braking are necessary. Consider the 8A continuous current capability and thermal performance of the exposed die pad package for heat dissipation needs.
