Automotive half-bridge driver with asymmetric drive
It delivers 2.5 A peak source current and 3.5 A peak sink current — the higher sink rating pulls the gate down faster than it charges, which matters for preventing shoot-through during the dead-time transition in a half-bridge.
Supply range and bootstrap headroom
The supply voltage range spans 5.5 V to 16 V, covering the common 12 V automotive rail with margin for load-dump transients. The bootstrap supply supports a high-side voltage up to 120 V, so this driver can handle 48 V, 72 V, or 96 V bus systems in mild-hybrid or auxiliary inverter stages. The non-inverting input simplifies the control interface — one PWM signal per channel, no inversion logic needed.
