Bootstrap capacitors are utilized to provide the above-battery
supply voltage required for n-channel FETs. An internal charge pump
for the high side allows for dc (100% duty cycle) operation of the
bridge.

Protection features include supply under/overvoltage, thermal
shutdown, and motor lead short-to-battery and short-to-ground fault
notification, and a programmable dead-time adjustment for cross-
conduction prevention. The overvoltage trip point is user adjustable.
A3940KLP
(TSSOP with exposed
thermal pad)
A3940KLW
(SOIC)
The A3940 is supplied in a choice of two power packages, a 28-pin
TSSOP with an exposed thermal pad (package type LP), and a 28-pin
wide-body SOIC (package type LW). Both package types are available
in lead (Pb) free versions, with 100 % matte-tin leadframe plating
(suffix –T).
Approx. 2X actual size.
