DRV8350: About absolute maximum rating voltage of DRV8350.

Part Number: DRV8350
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8320,

We are comparing data(absolute maximum rating) of DRV8320 and DRV8350.

We have three question. 

①Could you tell me why is absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage (Vvcp+0.3V) lower than the same as DRV8320(Vvcp+0.5V)?

②Could you tell me why is absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage with respect to SHx (16V) higher than the same as DRV8320(13.5V)?

③ Let me know transiently (ex. under 50ns) absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage with respect to SHx ?

  • ①Could you tell me why is absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage (Vvcp+0.3V) lower than the same as DRV8320(Vvcp+0.5V)?

    8350 has VCP=16v compared to 8320 VCP=13.5v; how can you say 8350 is lower than 8320?

    Could you tell me why is absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage with respect to SHx (16V) higher than the same as DRV8320(13.5V)?

    Because the designer wanted to have 16v for 8350, and 13.5v for 8320. Just like saying why this FET rated at 60A and the other FET is rated only at 10A????

    Why do you care? Are you concerned the GHx is not enough to turn on the FET at 13.5v or 16v VGS?

  • Hello Sakamotosh,

     

    I would recommend looking at this E2E post: LINK

    It gives a good explanation of the specifications you asked about.

     

    After looking at the post if you still have questions I would be happy to continue supporting you!

     

    Thank you,

    Joshua

  • Hi Brian

    Thank you for providing an answer to my question. 

    ①Could you tell me why is absolute maximum rating of GHx pin voltage (Vvcp+0.3V) lower than the same as DRV8320(Vvcp+0.5V)?

    8350 has VCP=16v compared to 8320 VCP=13.5v; how can you say 8350 is lower than 8320?

    →Does this Vvcp mean absolute maximum rating of Vvcp pin voltage  instead of real voltage?

    Thank you for your reply. I have understood that the difference depend on design.

  • Hi Joshua

    Thank you for providing an answer to my question. 

    I will check the LINK.

    I’ll let you know if something comes up.

  • Hello Sakamotosh,

    Sounds good, glad Joshua was able to help!
