6.1 Overview

The DRV8762-Q1 is an integrated 8V to 85V gate driver for H-bridge motor drive applications. These devices decrease system component count, cost, and complexity by integrating two independent half-bridge gate drivers, a trickle charge pump, and a linear regulator for the supply of a low power microcontroller. The device also integrates two current shunt (or current sense) amplifiers. A standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) provides a simple method for configuring the various device settings and reading fault diagnostic information through an external controller.

The gate drivers support external N-channel high-side and low-side power MOSFETs and can drive up to 224mA source, and 448mA sink peak currents. A bootstrap capacitor generates the supply voltage of the high-side gate drive. The supply voltage of the low-side gate driver is supplied externally at a nominal 12V.

A Smart Gate Drive architecture provides the ability to dynamically adjust the strength of the gate drive output current which lets the gate driver control the VDS switching speed of the power MOSFET. This feature lets the user remove the external gate drive resistors and diodes, reducing the component count in the bill of materials (BOM), cost, and area of the printed circuit board (PCB). The architecture also uses an internal state machine to protect against short-circuit events in the gate driver, control the half-bridge dead time, and protect against dV/dt parasitic turn on of the external power MOSFET.

The DRV8762-Q1 integrates current sense amplifiers for monitoring current level through all the external half-bridges using a low-side shunt resistor. The gain setting of the current sense amplifier can be adjusted through SPI commands.

In addition to the high level of device integration, the DRV8762-Q1 provides a wide range of integrated protection features. These features include power supply undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring (GVDD UV/OV), drain supply undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring (VDRAIN UV/OV), VDS overcurrent monitoring, RSENSE over current monitoring (SNS_OCP), and overtemperature monitoring/shutdown (OTW and OTSD). Fault events are indicated by the nFAULT pin.
