Description
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.
Diagnostic outputs can be continuously monitored to protect
the driver from short-to-battery, short-to-supply, bridge-open,
and battery under/overvoltage conditions. Additional protection
features include dead-time, VDD undervoltage, and thermal
shutdown.
The A3935 is supplied in a 36-lead 0.8 mm pitch QSOP (package
LQ, similar to SOICW). The lead (Pb) free variants (suffix –T )
have 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

is in production but has been determined to be NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that
sale of the variant is currently restricted to existing customer applications. The variant should not be purchased for
new design applications because obsolescence in the near future is probable. Samples are no longer available.

Fault conditions that produce excessive junction temperature
will activate device thermal shutdown circuitry. These condi-
