Overview

The STDRIVE601TR is a high-voltage triple half-bridge gate driver designed to drive three-phase N-channel power MOSFETs or IGBTs. It features integrated bootstrap diodes and smart shutdown circuitry, making it a compact solution for motor control applications operating up to 600V.

Why Choose This Part

This IC simplifies PCB layout by integrating three half-bridge drivers and bootstrap diodes into a single SO-28 package. It includes an interlocking function to prevent cross-conduction and a dedicated comparator for fast overcurrent protection.

Applications

Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors
Ideal for driving permanent magnet synchronous motors in industrial pumps, fans, and blowers.
Home Appliances
Commonly used in inverter-driven washing machines, air conditioning compressors, and refrigerators.
E-Bikes and Light EVs
Provides the power stage management for traction motor controllers in light electric vehicles.
Industrial Inverters
Acts as the interface between low-voltage microcontrollers and high-voltage power bridges in generic AC drives.

Getting Started

Evaluation can be performed using the EVSTDRIVE601 demonstration board which allows for rapid prototyping of motor control algorithms. Ensure the decoupling capacitors are placed as close as possible to the VCC and VB pins to minimize switching noise in high-voltage environments.
