Renesas Electronics Drive Solution for Heating or Inductive Coils

Renesas Electronics Drive Solution for Heating or Inductive Coils is a solution that is an external element, whether it be a coil for heating, a wire for generating a magnetic field, or an inductor to propel a motor. A Renesas microcontroller (MCU) sends a pulse width modulated signal to the gate driver that efficiently connects power to the driving element or removes its charge. A comparator and amplifiers are used to monitor current flow and trigger any overcurrent events.

Features
