Trilith IC and NovalithIC™ product families go
green
In 2008, Infineon will be rolling out its green and robust solutions for the motor control prod uct families Trilith IC (multi-purpose configurable full-
bridge drivers) and NovalithIC™ (multi-purpose half-bridge drivers). The switch to green will be accompan ied by new names for these product
families:
zBTM Trilith IC motor driver, RoHS-compliant
zBTN NovalithIC™ half-bridge motor driver, RoHS-compliant
The new green design offers improved product performan c e and better rel iability by following the automotive power robust package approach,
supporting our zero-defect target.
Key features
zIntegration of power stage, driver and protection in small package
zIntegrated protecti on against overtemperature , ove r current, over- and undervoltage
zStatus flag diagnostics with analog current sense (NovalithIC™)
zPulse-width modulation (PWM) capability up to 25 kHz (NovalithIC™) combined with active freewheeling
zLow quiescent current, down to 7 µA
Applications
zMotor drive applications with 1 A DC up to 70 A peak
zAutomotive: door locks, gear boxes, belt pretensioners
zIndustrial: sliding doors, robotics, heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) systems
zConsumer: battery-driven tools and toys, household goods such as coffee machines
