A4950 DMOS Full-Bridge Motor Driver IC


Allegro's A4950 for pulse width modulated control of DC motors


Allegro A4950Allegro's A4950 is designed for pulse width modulated (PWM) control of DC motors, and is capable of peak output currents to ±3.5 A and operating voltages to 40 V. Input terminals are provided for use in controlling the speed and direction of a DC motor with externally applied PWM control signals. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to lower power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal circuit protection includes overcurrent protection, motor lead short to ground or supply, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage monitoring of VBB, and crossovercurrent protection.

The A4950 is provided in a low-profile 8-pin SOICN package with exposed thermal pad (suffix LJ) that is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
