DRV8701: VCP to drive NMOS on VM bus

Alvin Zheng

Part Number: DRV8701

Hi, Team

In typical application for H bridge driver from IFX 9861, VCP could be used for external NMOS circuit on VM bus.

Can DRV8701 VCP support the same function as it?

Hi Alvin,

This can be done, but the additional current needed to maintain the NMOS should be accounted for in the VCP load.
