VNH7100BASTR
Overview
The VNH7100BASTR is a fully integrated H-bridge motor driver designed for driving bidirectional brushed DC motors in automotive and industrial applications. It combines a dedicated control stage with Power MOSFET output stages in a single SO-16 package, supporting load voltages from 4V to 28V and output currents up to 15A. The device features ST's MultiSense technology for real-time monitoring of motor current and chip temperature.
Why Choose This Part
This driver offers a highly compact footprint by integrating the entire control and power stage into a 16-pin SOIC package. It provides robust protection features including undervoltage shutdown, overvoltage clamping, and cross-conduction protection, while maintaining an extremely low standby current of 1uA.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can evaluate this part using the EV-VNH7100BAS evaluation board, which provides access to all pins and a thermal pad for high-current testing. The driver is controlled via standard PWM signals up to 20 kHz and is compatible with 3V CMOS logic levels from microcontrollers like the STM32 series.
