The A3935 is designed specifically for automotive applications that require high-power motors. Each provides six high-current gate drive outputs capable of driving a wide range of n-channel power MOSFETs. A requirement of automotive systems is steady operation over a varying battery input range. The A3935 integrates a pulse-frequency modulated boost converter to create a constant supply voltage for driving the external MOSFETs. Bootstrap capacitors are utilized to provide the above battery supply voltage required for n-channel FETs. Direct control of each gate output is possible via six TTL-compatible inputs. A differential amplifier is integrated to allow accurate measurement of the current in the three-phase bridge.
