p-channel high-side MOSFET in single package,
n-channel low-side MOSFET, driver IC integrated

Infineon Technologies AG announced the launch of its industrial IFX007T NovalithIC motor driver on the 22nd.
The IFX007T smart half-bridge allows for easy and efficient driving of brushed and brushless motors. It integrates a p-channel high-side MOSFET, an n-channel low-side MOSFET, and a driver IC in a single package, requiring only a microcontroller and power supply to drive the motor.

Infineon has been offering NovalithIC products for automotive applications for many years, and with the launch of the IFX007T, industrial customers can now benefit from these features. Compliant with JESD471, it can drive motors with power supplies up to 40 V and peak currents up to 55 A. It can be used in a wide range of applications, including pumps, healthcare, home appliances, garden equipment, and fans, in addition to industrial automation.

The greatest advantage of this highly integrated solution is its ease of use. Customers can simplify layout during the manufacturing process, reduce stray inductance, and reduce the number of external components. Additionally, only three general-purpose microcontroller pins are required to control the entire H-bridge.

The IFX007T includes self-protection features such as overtemperature protection and cross-current protection. The H-bridge configuration provides logic redundancy between the half-bridges, ensuring that if one side fails, the other side can stop the motor.

Another feature is flexible motor control. The IFX007T can be used in half-bridge, H-bridge, and three-phase configurations. Furthermore, motor speed can be controlled via PWM up to 25 kHz. Dynamic freewheeling is possible on either the upper or lower side. The adjustable slew rate reduces EMI.

IFX007T is now available.
