3 Description

The DRV3245Q-Q1 device is a FET gate driver

IC for three-phase motor-drive applications designed

according to the applicable requirements of ISO

26262 for functional safety applications. The device

provides three half-bridge drivers each capable

of driving a high-side and low-side N-channel

MOSFET while also providing sophisticated protection

and monitoring of the FETs. A charge-pump

driver enables 100 duty cycle and supports low

battery voltages during cold-crank operation. The

integration of current-sense amplifiers, integrated

phase comparators, and SPI-based configuration of

the driver and its peripherals enable reduction of the

bill of materials (BOM) and space on the printed

circuit board (PCB) because of the elimination of most

external and passive components.

The DRV3245Q-Q1 device also integrates diagnostics

and protection for each internal block and provides

support for common system diagnostic checks each

of which can be instantiated and reported through

SPI. This flexibility of the integrated features allows

the device to integrate seamlessly into a variety of

safety architectures.
