The Infineon multiple MOSFET driver IC is dedicated to control up to sixteen n-channel MOSFETs. It includes eight half-bridges for DC motor control applications such as automotive power seat control or other applications. A 24-bit serial peripheral interface is used to configure the multiple MOSFET driver IC and to control the half bridges. It also allows the read out of the status registers for diagnostic purpose. The multiple MOSFET driver IC offers a wide range of diagnostic features such as the monitoring of the supply voltage, the charge pump voltage, temperature warning and over-temperature shutdown. Each gate driver monitors independently its external MOSFET drain-source voltage for fault conditions.
