SA57
SA57
DESCRIPTION
The SA57 is a fully integrated switching amplifier de-
signed primarily to drive DC brush motors. Two inde-
pendent half bridges provide over 15 amperes peak
output current under microcontroller or DSC control.
Thermal and short circuit monitoring is provided, which
generates fault signals for the microcontroller to take
appropriate action. A block diagram is provided in Fig-
ure 1.
Additionally, cycle-by-cycle current limit offers user
programmable hardware protection independent of the
microcontroller. Output current is measured using an
innovative low loss technique. The SA57 is built using
a multi-technology process allowing CMOS logic con-
trol and complementary DMOS output power devices
on the same IC. Use of P-channel high side FETs en-
ables 60V operation without bootstrap or charge pump
circuitry.
The Power Quad surface mount package balances ex-
cellent thermal performance with the advantages of a
low profile surface mount package.

2. Long term operation at elevated temperature will result in reduced product life. De-rate internal power
dissipation to achieve high MTBF.
3. Output current rating may be limited by duty cycle, ambient temperature, and heat sinking. Under any
set of conditions, do not exceed the specified current rating or a junction temperature of 150°C.
