Microchip Technology, Inc. Full, Half-Bridge (H Bridge) Drivers T6818-TUQ

The T6818-TUQ from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. is a full half-bridge driver designed for automotive and industrial applications. It operates with a supply voltage of up to 40 V and can deliver an output current of up to 1.5 A. The device features three half-bridge outputs formed by three high-side and three low-side drivers, allowing it to control various loads, including DC motors, bulbs, resistors, capacitors, and inductors. This driver incorporates several protection mechanisms, including short-circuit protection, overtemperature protection, and undervoltage protection. It also offers diagnostic functions for detecting shorted outputs, open loads, and power supply failures. The T6818-TUQ utilizes a serial data interface capable of daisy chaining with a clock frequency of up to 2 MHz, facilitating easy integration with microcontrollers. The device is housed in a SO14 power package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.
