Programmable PWM DC Motor Driver / Controller with µP
Interface (Three Wire Interface)
It is an advanced PWM DC motor controller subsystem with
an excellent EMC behavior targeted especially for high
current automotive applications. The optimization of the EMC
behavior of the entire module only by software changes
makes it easier to implement it in harsh environments.
The programmability of parameters and functions allows the
adaptation of the AS8446 to a wide range of applications.
So the system can act either as a motor current or motor
speed or motor voltage regulator. Also a full diagnosis of
motor failures and power FET failures, over temperature and
over/under voltage can be formed by programmable failure
handling procedures using the motor characteristic and the
real time measured motor current, motor speed and battery
voltage.

General Description
The AS8446 is a complete and fully protected PWM DC motor
driver/controller, which can be implemented by interfacing a
low cost 8-bit µP and a high-side N-channel power FET
switch.
