A3941 Datasheet Automotive Full Bridge MOSFET Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

The A3941 is a full-bridge controller for use with external N‑channel power MOSFETs and is specifically designed for automotive applications with high-power inductive loads, such as brush DC motors.

A unique charge pump regulator provides full (>10 V) gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V and allows the A3941 to operate with a reduced gate drive, down to 5.5 V.

A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above-battery supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs.
