The Double BTS7960 43A H-Bridge High-Power Motor Driver Module is a fully integrated high current H bridge designed for motor drive applications that use the BTS7960 high current half bridge.
The NovalithICTM family includes the BTS7960. This package contains one p-channel high-side MOSFET and one n-channel low side MOSFET, as well as an integrated driver IC. The p-channel high-side switch eliminates the need for a charge pump, reducing EMI.
The integrated driver IC simplifies interfacing to a microcontroller by providing logic level inputs, diagnosis with current sense, slew rate adjustment, dead time generation, and protection against overtemperature, overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and short circuit.
The Double BTS7960 43A H-Bridge Motor Driver Module is a low-cost solution for protected high-current PWM motor drives with small in size. If you want to control the motorwith this motor driver, for that you will need a few essential components like
• Path resistance of type. 16 m? @ 25 °C • Low quiescent current of typ. 7 µA @ 25 °C • PWM capability of up to 25 kHz combined with active freewheeling • Switched mode current limitation for reduced power dissipation in overcurrent • Current limitation level of 43 A typ. • Status flag diagnosis with current sense capability • Overtemperature shut down with latch behavior • Overvoltage lockout • Undervoltage shut down • Driver circuit with logic level inputs • Adjustable slew rates for optimized EMI
The BTS 7960 is a fully integrated high current half bridge for motor drive applications. It is part of the NovalithICTM family containing one p-channel high-side MOSFET and one n-channel low-side MOSFET with an integrated driver IC in one package.
2. What is a motor driver?
Motor drivers serve as a link between motors and control circuits. The motor requires a lot of currents, whereas the controller circuit only needs a little bit. The function of motor drivers is to convert a low-current control signal into a higher-current signal capable of driving a motor.
3. How does the H-bridge motor driver work?
An H-bridge is made up of four switches that control the current flow to a load. Using one current source, you can drive the current in two directions by closing two switches.
