High Current PN Half Bridge
BTN7960
General Product Characteristics
Note: Stresses above the ones listed here may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note: Integrated protection functions are designed to prevent IC destruction under fault conditions described in the
data sheet. Fault conditions are considered as “outside” normal operating range. Protection functions are
not designed for continuous repetitive operation.

Figure 4 BTN7960 Maximum Single Pulse Current (T_C < 85°C)
This diagram shows the maximum single pulse current that can be driven for a given pulse time t_pulse. The
maximum reachable current may be smaller depending on the current limitation level. Pulse time may be limited
due to thermal protection of the device.
