The Infineon half-bridge driver is a protected six-fold designed especially for automotive motion control applications such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning flap DC motor control. It is part of a larger family offering half-bridge drivers from three outputs to twelve outputs with direct interface or SPI interface. The half bridge drivers are designed to drive DC motor loads in sequential or parallel operation. operation modes forward (cw), reverse (ccw), brake and high impedance are controlled from a 16-bit SPI interface. It offers diagnosis features such as short circuit, open load, power supply failure and over temperature detection.

It has very low power consumption in sleep mode
It has cross-current protection
It has over temperature pre-warning and protection
It has fast diagnosis with the global error flag
