A5957 Datasheet Full-Bridge PWM Gate Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

Designed for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control of DC motors, the A5957 is capable of 50 V operation and provides gate drive for an all N-channel external MOSFET bridge.

Input terminals are provided for use in controlling the speed and direction of a DC motor with externally applied PWM control signals.

Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to lower power dissipation during PWM operation.
