Three Phase Field Effect
Transistor Pre-driver
34937A
Industrial
The 34937A is a field effect transistor (FET) pre-drivers 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 and 3.0 V logic level inputs are accepted
and 5.0 V logic level outputs are provided.
Features
• Extended supply voltage operating range: 6.0 to 58 V
• Wide dead time range (50 ns to 12 s) programmable via the SPI
port

54-PIN SOICW-EP
• External FET gate drive capability of >1.0 A with protection
• Charge pump ensures sufficient external FET drive at low supply
voltages
• Device protection against reverse charge-injection from CGD and
CGS of external FETS
• Integrated overcurrent, desaturation, and phase fault-detection
• Immunity against positive or negative transient voltage spikes on
the gate driver
