Freescale MC33816 Programmable Drivers
March 7, 2014 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now shipping the Freescale MC33816 12-channel programmable smart gate driver for automotive engine control systems. This highly sophisticated gate driver consists of five external MOSFET high side pre-drivers, and seven external MOSFET low side pre-drivers.
The Freescale MC33816 Programmable Gate Driver available from Mouser Electronics provides a programmable solution for precision injector and solenoid control applications. Five high side pre-drivers drive five logic level N-channel MOSFETs with four individually programmable slew rates. There are also six low side pre-drivers for logic level N-channel MOSFETs that also have programmable slew rates. An integrated bootstrap circuit for each high side pre-driver requires only an external capacitor. Internal charge pump circuitry for each high side pre-driver is also available to provide gate drive if the bootstrap circuit is unavailable. In addition, any high side pre-driver can also be used as a low-side pre-driver.
The MC33816 contains four embedded CPUs that control all internal functions of the device, including managing the internal programmable crossbar switch that manages the driver configurations. An SPI interface provides access to the internal configuration including current and voltage thresholds for the drivers, as well as internal diagnostics and trace management.
The device also contains its own dual voltage regulators with overvoltage and undervoltage monitoring and protection. Internal diagnostics include programmable voltage monitoring and fault detection for each driver as well as a built-in self-test (BIST).
The Freescale MC33816 targets automotive engine injectors, and electrical valve control for high temperature industrial applications.
