The DRV816x is a 100V half bridge driver with a gate drive power supply ranging from 8V–10V. The DRV816x devices are integrated half-bridge gate drivers capable of driving high-side and low-side N-channel power FETs. The device generates the gate drive voltages from the GVDD supply pin and uses a bootstrap circuit to drive the high-side FET. The gate drive architecture supports peak gate drive currents up to 1A source and 2A sink. These devices can be used to drive various types of loads including brushless and brushed DC motors, PMSM, stepper motors, switched reluctance motors (SRM), and solenoids. Internal protection functions are provided for undervoltage lockout, FET overcurrent, and overtemperature. The nFAULT pin indicates fault events detected by the protection features.
