Automotive 40-V, multifunction half-bridges & high-side drivers for front door control

The DRV8001-Q1 device integrates multiple door control specific functions:

driving and diagnosing motor (inductive), resistive and capacitive loads, driving a

lamp or LEDs, drive

MOSFETs for special loads such as heating element or electrochromic

elements. These drivers include protection features for offline and active

diagnostics such as under and over voltage monitors, offline open load and

short-circuit diagnostics, and zone-based thermal monitoring and shutdown

protection. The device features 6

integrated half-bridges (2 high-side alternate modes), 6 integrated high-side

drivers, one external high-side gate driver for heater, one external high-side

gate driver for electrochromic charge and one integrated low-side driver for

electrochromic load discharge. The half-bridge,

high-side, heater and gate drivers have PWM input control configuration,

sensing, diagnostics and device system protection. There is a dedicated internal

programmable PWM generators for each high-side driver. Proportional current sense

pin output is available for all integrated drivers
