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 is capable of driving currents up to 600mA. The drivers are freely configurable and can be controlled separately from a standard serial data interface to combine loads froms bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The IC design is especially supportive of H-bridges applications to drive DC motors.
