The AtmelВ® ATA6824C is designed for DC motor control application in automotive high
temperature environment like in mechatronic assemblies in the vicinity of the hot engine,
e.g. turbo charger. With a maximum junction temperature of 200В°C, Atmel ATA6824C is
suitable for applications with an ambient temperature up to 150В°C.
The IC includes 4 driver stages to control 4 external power MOSFETs. An external microcontroller provides the direction signal and the PWM frequency. In PWM operation, the
high-side switches are permanently on while the low-side switches are activated by the
PWM frequency. Atmel ATA6824C contains a voltage regulator to supply the microcontroller; via the input pin VMODE the output voltage can be set to 5V or 3.3V respectively.
The on-chip window watchdog timer provides a pin-programmable time window. The …
