17550
The 17550 is a monolithic quad H-Bridge power IC ideal for portable
electronic applications containing tiny bipolar stepper motors and/or
brush DC-motors powered by two-to-four cell NiCd/NiMH batteries.
H-BRIDGE MOTOR DRIVER
The 17550 operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, with independent control of
each H-Bridge via parallel 3.0 V or 5.0 V logic-compatible I/O. The
device features an on-board DC/DC boost converter that allows motor
operation all the way down to 1.6 V (the boost converter supplies the
gate-drive voltage for each of the four independent H-bridge output
stages). Each output bridge has its own gate-drive and logic circuitry
with built-in shoot-through current protection.
The 17550 has four operating modes: Forward, Reverse, Brake,
and Tri-Stated (High Impedance). The 17550 has a low total RDS(ON)
of 1.2 Ω max @ 25°C. In addition, it can be set into a very low current-
drain standby mode.

36-TERMINAL VMFP
The H-Bridge outputs can be independently PWM’ed at up to
200 kHz for speed/torque and current control. The 17550 can
efficiently drive many types of micromotors owing to its low output
resistance and high output slew rates.
