End of Life. Last Available Purchase Date is 31-Dec-2014 Si9978 Vishay Siliconix Configurable H-Bridge Driver FEATURES H-Bridge or Dual Half-Bridge Operation 20- to 40-V Supply Static (dc) Operation Cross-Conduction Protected Current Limit Undervoltage Lockout ESD Protected Fault Output DESCRIPTION The Si9978 is an integrated driver for an n-channel MOSFET H-bridge. The mode control allows operation as either a full H-bridge driver or as two independent half-bridges. The DIR/PWM input configuration allows easy implementation of either sign/magnitude or anti-phase PWM drive schemes for full H-bridges. Schmitt triggers on the inputs provide logic signal compatibility and hysteresis for increased noise immunity. An internal low-voltage regulator allows the device to be powered directly from a system supply of 20 to 40 volts. All n-channel gates are driven directly from low-impedance outputs. The addition of one external capacitor per half-bridge allows internal circuitry to level shif...
