The MOTIX™ TLE 8444SL is a protected quad-half-bridge-IC targeted towards automotive and industrial motion control applications The monolithic die is based on Infineon's SPT technology, combining bipolar, CMOS, and DMOS components. It enables forward, reverse, brake, and high impedance modes for DC motors, and no-current, negative/positive output current modes for stepper motors. Controlled through a standard parallel interface, it saves space and costs with its PG-SSOP-24-7 package. Integrated protection and diagnosis features enhance system reliability and performance.
