A5950
DC Motor Driver
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
Designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of DC
motors, the A5950 is capable of peak output currents up to
±3 A and operating voltages up to 40 V.
• Overcurrent protection (OCP)
• Motor lead short-to-ground protection
• Motor lead short-to-battery protection
• Motor short protection
• Low-power standby mode
• Fault output
Inputterminalsareprovidedforuseincontrollingthespeedand
direction of a DC motor with externally applied PWM control
signals. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is
provided to lower power dissipation during PWM operation.
• Adjustable current limit option
• Current-to-voltage output
Internal circuit protection includes overcurrent protection,
motor lead short to ground or supply, thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, undervoltage monitoring of VBB, and crossover-
current protection.
• Synchronous rectification – high-side
• Internal UVLO
• Crossover-current protection
• Thermal warning and shutdown function
• AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified – K version
