DESCRIPTION
The DRV592 is a high-efficiency, high-current H-bridge
ideal for driving a wide variety of thermoelectric cooler
elements in systems powered from 2.8 V to 5.5 V. Low
output stage on-resistance significantly decreases
power dissipation in the amplifier.
The DRV592 may be driven from any external PWM
generator such as a DSP, a microcontroller, or a FPGA.
The frequency may vary from dc (i.e., on or off) to
1 MHz. The inputs are compatible with TTL logic levels.
The DRV592 is internally protected against thermal and
current overloads. Logic-level fault indicators signal
when the junction temperature has reached
approximately 130°C to allow for system-level
shutdown before the amplifier’s internal thermal
shutdown circuitry activates. The fault indicators also
signal when an over-current event has occurred. If the
over-current circuitry is tripped, the DRV592
automatically resets.
