Single Half-Bridge ICs

Overview

Cost-optimized solutions for protected high-current PWM motor drives with very low board-space consumption.

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

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.

DC Motor Control Shield with BTN7030-1EPA

The motor control shield with BTN7030-1EPA, NovalithIC™ Lite, is designed to drive DC motors in combination with an Arduino compatible baseboard. The shield can be controlled with the general logic IO-Ports of a microcontroller. Either an Arduino Uno R3 or the XMC1100 Boot Kit from Infineon can be used as the master. Another way to control this board is via uIO port using Infineon uIO Stick. The device, BTN7030-1EPA, is a protected half-bridge with integrated driver, providing protection and diagnosis features. It is a perfect fit for low power DC motor applications such as door lock, trunk lock and cinching latch.

How to make a smoothie with our new Motor Driver (IFX007) for Industrial Applications
