Mosfet H-bridges simplify DC fans and inverters
Diodes Incorporated
Mosfet H-bridges
A range of four H-bridge Mosfet packages from Diodes Incorporated is set to reduce the component count and PCB size of DC fan and CCFL inverter circuits.
Featuring dual complementary pairs of N- and P-type Mosfets in an SO8 package, the ZXMHC parts will replace four discrete SOT23 packaged Mosfets or two SO8 complementary Mosfet packages.
In a wide range of motor or other inductive load drives, this means a saving in PCB footprint of at least 50 per cent and a significant reduction in overall inventory cost.
Two 30V H-Bridges, the ZXMHC3A01N8 and ZXMHC3F381N8, suit 12V DC fan and inverter applications and offer users a choice of low-RDS(ON) performance.
The 60V-rated ZXMHC6A07N8 and 100V-rated ZXMHC10A07N8 are targeted at 24V DC and 48V DC motor control circuits respectively.
