A fully protected driver interface designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS technology. It can control up to six different loads by a microcontroller in automotive and industrial applications. Each of the three high-side and three low-side drivers can drive currents up to 1.5A. Each driver is freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a standard serial data interface to combine loads such as bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The IC supports the applications of H-bridges to drive DC motors. The capability to control each output with an external PWM signal opens additional applications.
