Product details
Overview
BTN7970BAUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-current PN half-bridge NovalithIC™ integrated power stage comprising a p-channel high-side MOSFET (RDS(on) ≤ 12.8 mΩ @ 150 °C), an n-channel low-side MOSFET (RDS(on) ≤ 17.7 mΩ @ 150 °C), and an integrated driver IC in a PG-TO263-7-1 package. It delivers 50 A min. current-limited output, supports 25 kHz PWM with active freewheeling, and features logic-level inputs for direct microcontroller interfacing in automotive motor drive systems.
For engineers reviewing the BTN7970BAUMA1 datasheet, BTN7970BAUMA1 pinout, BTN7970BAUMA1 application, or BTN7970BAUMA1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its charge-pump-free p-channel high-side architecture, integrated overtemperature latch, slew-rate-adjustable switching, status flag with current sense capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood motor control.
Technical Context
The BTN7970BAUMA1 implements a monolithic half-bridge topology with physically separate high-side (p-MOS) and low-side (n-MOS) vertical power dies plus a dedicated driver die on a common lead frame. Its dead-time generation and adjustable slew rate (via external SR–GND resistor) are hardware-controlled to prevent shoot-through and optimize EMI.
Protection functions operate autonomously: overvoltage lockout triggers at VS > 45 V, undervoltage shutdown activates below 5.5 V, and overtemperature protection latches at Tj ≥ 150 °C. Current limitation is switched-mode (not linear), with 50 A minimum trip level on the low-side switch and short-circuit detection independent of load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Continuous Output Current | 44 A at TC < 85 °C - defines maximum sustained motor phase current without thermal derating |
| High-Side RDS(on) | ≤ 12.8 mΩ @ 150 °C - enables low conduction loss in high-side path without charge pump |
| Low-Side RDS(on) | ≤ 17.7 mΩ @ 150 °C - minimizes I²R loss during PWM freewheeling and active conduction |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50 A min. / 70 A typ. (low-side) - sets hard current ceiling to protect MOSFETs during stall or short |
| Supply Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 28 V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump transients |
| Logic Input Compatibility | 0–5.3 V - accepts standard 3.3 V or 5 V MCU GPIO without level-shifting |
| Thermal Resistance (J–C) | 0.7–1.0 K/W - enables direct heatsink mounting with predictable junction-to-case temperature rise |
Pinout & Package
BTN7970BAUMA1 uses the PG-TO263-7-1 surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4/8 shared OUT terminal). The 7-pin configuration supports compact PCB layout with integrated diagnostics and control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Power ground reference | Common return path for logic, driver, and power stages; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| IN (Pin 2) | Bridge control input | Logic-level signal selecting high-side or low-side activation per truth table; no internal pull-up/down |
| INH (Pin 3) | Inhibit enable/disable | Active-low sleep mode control; pulls quiescent current to <1 μA when asserted |
| OUT (Pins 4 & 8) | Half-bridge output node | Shared high-current source/sink terminal connecting to motor winding; electrically tied internally |
| SR (Pin 5) | Slew rate adjustment | External resistor to GND sets dV/dt of both switches-critical for EMI compliance and voltage overshoot control |
| IS (Pin 6) | Current sense & fault flag | Analog current-proportional output + open-drain diagnostic flag indicating overtemp, overcurrent, or UVLO |
| VS (Pin 7) | Main supply input | Primary power rail for both MOSFETs and driver; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Charge-pump-free p-channel high-side | Eliminates external capacitor and associated EMI sources while enabling single-supply operation |
| Switched-mode current limitation | Reduces average power dissipation during overload vs. linear limiting-extends safe operating time |
| Status flag with analog current sense | Single pin provides real-time load current monitoring and simultaneous fault reporting (no extra ADC channel needed) |
| Adjustable slew rate via external resistor | Enables tuning of EMI profile and voltage overshoot without changing PCB layout or firmware |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature, vibration, and lifetime requirements-suitable for engine bay deployment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current half-bridge motor drive applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV8876PWPR | Lower max current (3.6 A continuous), integrated current sense amplifier, no high-side p-MOS (requires charge pump) | Targeted at low-power consumer robotics, not automotive-grade | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 44 A capability is unnecessary |
| TPS28225D | Driver-only IC (no power MOSFETs), requires external discrete FETs, no integrated protection or current sense | Used in custom high-efficiency inverters where layout and thermal design are fully controlled | Choose when board space allows discrete implementation and full protection must be designed externally |
Compared with DRV8876PWPR and TPS28225D, BTN7970BAUMA1 uniquely integrates rugged AEC-Q100-qualified power MOSFETs, charge-pump-free operation, and self-contained diagnostics-reducing BOM count by ≥6 components and eliminating external current-sense resistors and protection ICs in automotive 12/24 V motor drives.

FAQ
What is the function of the SR pin on BTN7970BAUMA1?
The SR (Slew Rate) pin connects to an external resistor to ground, allowing precise adjustment of the dV/dt for both high-side and low-side MOSFETs. This controls switching edge speed to balance EMI performance against voltage overshoot and shoot-through risk. Typical resistor values range from 10 kΩ (fastest) to 100 kΩ (slowest), with corresponding slew rates specified in the datasheet's dynamic characteristics section.
Does BTN7970BAUMA1 require an external bootstrap capacitor?
No. BTN7970BAUMA1 uses a p-channel high-side MOSFET, eliminating the need for a bootstrap capacitor or charge pump circuit. This simplifies PCB layout, improves reliability under low-duty-cycle or static conditions, and avoids bootstrap-related failure modes such as gate underdrive during extended low-side conduction.
How does the current sense (IS) pin provide both analog output and fault flag functionality?
The IS pin operates in two modes: analog current sensing (0.5 V/A typical scaling) during normal operation, and open-drain fault flag (pulled low) during overtemperature, overcurrent, or undervoltage events. These functions share the same pin but are mutually exclusive-fault condition overrides analog output, ensuring unambiguous error signaling without additional pins or external logic.
Can BTN7970BAUMA1 be used in an H-bridge configuration?
Yes. Two BTN7970BAUMA1 devices can be combined-one for each half-bridge leg-to construct a full H-bridge for bidirectional DC motor control. Interleaved IN/INH control ensures proper dead-time insertion, and synchronized SR resistor selection maintains matched slew rates across all four switches, minimizing cross-conduction and EMI asymmetry.
