STDRIVE101 Description

The STDRIVE101 is a low voltage gate driver suitable for driving three-phase brushless motors. It is a single-chip with three half-bridge gate drivers for N-channel power MOSFETs. Each driver has a current capability of 600 mA (sink/source). It integrates a low drop linear regulator generating the supply voltage for both low-side and high-side gate drivers through a bootstrap circuitry. The device provides Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) on both the low-side and high-side sections, preventing the power switches from operating in low efficiency or dangerous conditions. The STDRIVE101 also features a V_DS monitoring protection for each external MOSFET, thermal shutdown and can be put in the standby mode to reduce the power consumption.
