BTS 7960 is a high current PN half bridge produced by NovalithIC company. Its rated current is 43A, and its switching loss is 7mΩ + 9mΩ.
The BTS7960 is a fully integrated high‑current half‑bridge driver designed for motor‑drive applications. It combines a p‑channel high‑side MOSFET, an n‑channel low‑side MOSFET, and a driver IC in a single package, eliminating the need for a charge pump and reducing board space.
The datasheet details the device's basic features, pin assignments, maximum electrical and thermal ratings, supply characteristics, and protection functions such as over‑temperature, over‑voltage, under‑voltage, over‑current, and short‑circuit protection. Application notes and layout considerations are also included.
