ON Semiconductor Expands Automotive Driver Portfolio with New Hex Pre-Driver and Hex Half-Bridge Driver

ON Semiconductor introduced two new drivers specifically designed for robust automotive and industrial applications. The NCV7513 is a programmable six channel low-side MOSFET pre-driver designed to control a variety of load types. The NCV7708 is a hex half-bridge driver specifically designed to drive power system motors and loads.

The NCV7513 is a fully protected six channel low-side Hex Pre-Driver designed for a wide variety of loads, including engine control, memory seats and LED headlamps. This device is the newest member of a growing family of FLEXMOS™ automotive-grade products for driving logic level MOSFETs. The NCV7513 is controllable by a combination of Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and parallel inputs. With 3.3 and 5.0 V compatible inputs, it is well-suited for use with the newer microcontrollers. Each of the six channels independently monitors its external MOSFETs for fault conditions. It features programmable fault management modes and allows power-limiting pulse width modulation (PWM) operation. The fault information for each channel is uniquely captured by fault type.

The NCV7513 is available in a 32-pin LQFP package and priced at $0.82 per unit in 10,000 unit quantities.

The NCV7708 is a fully protected Hex Half Bridge Driver and the newest member of a family of multi-channel drivers. The device features six independent high side and six independent low side drivers that are also configurable as H-bridge drivers. The NCV7708 is controlled via SPI up to 5MHz. It offers advanced fault reporting and protection features, and is compliant with 5 and 3.3V systems.

The NCV7708 is offered in a 28-pin SOIC thermally enhanced fused lead package and priced at $1.25 per unit in 10,000 unit quantities.
