Description
The CA3275 Dual Full Bridge Driver is intended for generalpurpose applications requiring Dual Full Bridge drive or switching, including direction and pulse-width modulation for position control. While all features of the IC may not be utilized or required, they would normally be used in instrumentation systems with quadrature coils, such as air-core gauges, where the coils would be driven at frequencies ranging from 200Hz to 400Hz. The coils are wrapped at 90o angles for independent direction control. Coils wound in this physical configuration are controlled by pulse width modulation, where each coil drive is a function of the sine or cosine versus degrees of movement. The direction control is used to change the direction of the current in the H-Driver coil.
