ROHM BD6220/BD6221/BD6222/BD6225/BD6226/BD6227 H-bridge Driver Technical Note

This document describes the technical details of the H-bridge drivers BD6220, BD6221, BD6222, BD6225, BD6226, BD6227 for brush motor applications. These full bridge drivers can operate at a wide range of power supply voltages (from 3V to 36V), supporting output currents of up to 2A. MOS transistors in the output stage allow for PWM signal control, while the integrated VREF voltage control function of previous models offers direct replacement of deprecated motor driver ICs. These highly efficient H-bridge driver ICs facilitate low-power consumption design.
