The FAN8100N/FAN8100MTC is a monolithic two channel dc motor drive IC designed for low voltage operated systems. It has dual H-bridge drivers, using NPN and verticalPNP power transistors with a low saturation voltage. Power packages with heat sinks endure high continuous output current. The high current and low saturation voltage feature make this device suitable for dc motor applications such as toy cars. It has also a built-in thermal shutdown protection circuit with hysteresis.
