The A3935 is designed specifically for automotive applications that require high-power motors. It provides six high-current gate drive outputs capable of driving a wide range of n-channel power MOSFETs. The A3935 integrates a pulse-frequency modulated boost converter to create a constant supply voltage for driving the external MOSFETs. Bootstrap capacitors are utilized to provide the above battery supply voltage required for n-channel FETs. Direct control of each gate output is possible via six TTL-compatible inputs. A differential amplifier is integrated to allow accurate measurement of the current in the three-phase bridge. Diagnostic outputs can be continuously monitored to protect the driver from short-to-battery, short-to-supply, bridge-open, and battery under/overvoltage conditions. Additional protection features include dead-time, VDD undervoltage, and thermal shutdown. The A3935 is supplied in a choice of three packages, a 44-lead PLCC with copper batwing tabs (suffix ED), a 48-lead low profile QFP with exposed thermal pad (suffix JP), and a 36-lead 0.8 mm pitch SOIC (suffix LQ).
