NCV7544
FLEXMOSt Quad Half-Bridge MOSFET Pre-driver
The NCV7544 programmable four channel half−bridge MOSFET pre−driver is one of a family of FLEXMOS automotive grade products for driving logic−level NMOS FETs. The product is controllable by a combination of serial SPI and CMOS−compatible parallel inputs. An internal power−on reset provides controlled power up. A reset input allows external re−initialization and a failsafe input allows the device to be safely disabled in the event of system upset.
Each channel independently monitors its external MOSFETs’ drain−source voltages for fault conditions. Overload detection thresholds are SPI−selectable and the product allows different detection thresholds for each channel.
