Eight half bridges in a 24-pin TSSOP — what that means for a motor-control BOM
Each switch — high-side and low-side — carries a typical 1.3 Ohm on-resistance. The SPI and PWM interface gives a controller direct per-channel duty-cycle control and diagnostic readback. An integrated charge pump generates the gate-drive voltage above the supply rail, so the low Rds(on) holds even as the battery voltage sags toward 3V.
Junction temperature and fault handling — the error budget in a hot enclosure
Fault protection covers current limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and short-circuit detection. That trio catches the common failure modes in a motor-drive output stage: a stalled rotor, a phase-to-ground short, or a lost heatsink path.
