DRV8962-Q1: Half bridge driver requirement

Hi Team,

I am looking for Half Bridge Driver(to drive actuator) for 24V HVAC product. I found DRV8962-Q1 for 24V system but it supporting up to 70V maximum input voltage. In Jump start test case I have maintain 48V for 1 min by using TVS diode AND clamping voltage will go up to 77V. In that case IC will get damage. Can you suggest us 80V Half bridge driver. 

thanks,

Santhosh Gowda.

  • Hi Santhosh,

    Thanks for your question. 

    Three integrated drivers in our portfolio with high absolute max are the DRV8962, DRV8844, DRV8263-Q1 (DRV8163-Q1). If the clamping diode will go u to 77 V it will damage any of these devices. We do not have an 80 V driver. Can you design the clamp to not to exceed 65 V the recommended max. operating voltage for the DRV8962?

    For further questions please share the schematic, waveforms while the clamp is activated and control scheme details. Thank you.
