Three Phase Field Effect
Transistor Pre-driver
The 33937 and 33937A are Field Effect Transistor (FET) pre-
drivers designed for three phase motor control and similar
applications. The 33937A has been specifically enhanced to
improve performance when driving very high current loads. The
integrated circuit (IC) uses
SMARTMOS
™
technology.
The IC contains three High Side FET pre-drivers and three Low
Side FET pre-drivers.Three external bootstrap capacitors provide
gate charge to the High Side FETs.
The IC interfaces to a MCU via six direct input control signals,
an SPI port for device setup and asynchronous reset, enable and
interrupt signals. Both 5.0 and 3.0 V logic level inputs are
accepted and 5.0 V logic level outputs are provided.
Features
• Fully specified from 8.0 to 40 V covers 12 and 24 V automotive
systems
• Extended operating range from 6.0 to 58 V covers 12 and 42 V
systems
• Greater than 1.0 A gate drive capability with protection
• Protection against reverse charge injection from CGD and CGS
of external FETs
• Includes a charge pump to support full FET drive at low battery
voltages
• Deadtime is programmable via the SPI port
• Simultaneous output capability enabled via safe SPI command
• Pb-free packaging designated by suffix code EK
