Single Half-Bridge ICs

Overview

Infineon offers low- and high current single half-bridges designed for use in automotive and industrial applications.

NovalithIC™
NovalithIC™ provides a complete low-ohmic-protected half-bridge in a single package. It can be combined with an additional NovalithIC™ to create an H-bridge or 3-phase bridge as well. The NovalithIC™ family has the capability to switch high frequency PWM while providing overcurrent, overvoltage and overtemperature protection. The NovalithIC™ family offers cost-optimized solutions for protected high-current PWM motor drives with very low board-space consumption - scaled to your needs.

The many protection and diagnosis features of the NovalithIC™ devices make them ideal for security relevant applications, like electronic parking brake, active suspension control, fuel pumps. Due to its durability and ease-of-use NovalithIC™ devices are also ideal for electronic seatbelt pretensioners, T-Case, HVAC control module, and many more.
