Description
T6818 / T682 8 are fully protected dr iver interfaces designed in 0.8-µm BCDMOS
technology. It is used to control up to 3 different loads by a microcontroller in auto-
motive and industrial applications.
Each of the 3 high-side and 3 low-si de dr i vers is capable to drive currents up to 1. 5 A .
The dri vers are i nte rnally con nec te d to for m 3 h alf -b ridges and c an be c ontrol le d s ep-
arately from a standar d serial da ta interface. Therefore all k inds of load s such as
bulbs, resisto rs, capac i tor s and ind uc tor s can be combined . The IC des ign especial ly
supports the applications of H-bridges to drive DC motors.
Protec tion is g uarante ed in terms o f short-circuit conditions, overtemp erature
and undervoltage. Various diagnosis functions and a ver y low quiescent current in
stand -by-mode o pens a wid e range of applica tions. Automo tive qualific ation referring
to conducted interferences, EMC protection and 2 kV ESD protection gives added
value and enhanced quality for demanding up-market applications .
