3 Description

The DRV8163-Q1 is a wide-voltage, high-power

fully integrated half-bridge driver for 24V and 48V

automotive applications. Designed in a BiCMOS highpower

process technology node, this device in a

power package offers excellent power handling and

thermal capability while providing compact package

size, ease of layout, EMI control, accurate current

sense, robustness, and diagnostic capability.

The device integrates a N-channel half-bridge, charge

pump, high-side current sensing with regulation,

current proportional output, and protection circuitry.

The integrated sensing uses a current mirror,

removing the need for shunt resistors, saving board

area, and reducing system cost. A low-power sleep

mode is provided to achieve low quiescent current.

The device offers voltage monitoring and load

diagnostics, as well as protection features against

overcurrent and overtemperature. Fault conditions are

indicated on the nFAULT pin. It is available in two

variants: HW interface and SPI interface. The SPI

variant offers more flexibility in device configuration

and fault observability.
