• Current sense output proportional to motor current, protected against short to ground and short to VCC

Applications

• Automotive fan control systems
• Wiper motor actuation
• Seat adjustment mechanisms
• Window lift actuators
• Ignition system drivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the component meets the necessary automotive qualification standards, such as AEC-Q100, for your intended application environment. Check the latest datasheet for any updates regarding pin configuration or electrical characteristics before finalizing the procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a robust, single-chip solution for driving brushed DC motors in automotive environments. The integrated protections simplify design complexity by eliminating external components typically needed for fault management. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the operating temperature range and power dissipation at the required load currents.
