Three phase field effect transistor
pre-driver
34937A
Industrial
The 34937A is a field effect transistor (FET) pre-driver designed for three phase
motor control and similar applications. The integrated circuit (IC) uses
SMARTMOS technology.
THREE PHASE PRE-DRIVER
The IC contains three high-side FET pre-drivers and three low-side FET pre-
drivers. Three external bootstrap capacitors provide gate charge to the high-
side FETs.
The IC interfaces to a MCU via six direct input control signals, an SPI port for
device setup and asynchronous reset, enable, and interrupt signals. Both 5.0 V
and 3.0 V logic level inputs are accepted and 5.0 V logic level outputs are
provided.
