Description
The BTM7710GP is part of the TrilithIC family containing three dies in one package: One double high-side switch
and two low-side switches. The drains of these three vertical DMOS chips are mounted on separated lead frames.
The sources are connected to individual pins, so the BTM7710GP can be used in H-bridge- as well as in any other
configuration. The double high-side switch is manufactured in SMART SIPMOS® technology which combines low
RDS ON vertical DMOS power stages with CMOS circuitry for control, protection and diagnosis. To achieve low
RDS ON and fast switching performance, the low-side switches are manufactured in S-FET logic level technology.

4 Circuit Description
4.1 Input Circuit
The control inputs IH1,2 consist of TTL/CMOS compatible Schmitt-Triggers with hysteresis. Buffer amplifiers are
driven by these stages and convert the logic signal into the necessary form for driving the power output stages.
The inputs are protected by ESD clamp-diodes. The inputs IL1 and IL2 are connected to the gates of the standard
N-channel vertical power-MOS-FETs.
4.2 Output Stages
The output stages consist of an low RDSON Power-MOS H-bridge. In H-bridge configuration, the D-MOS body
diodes can be used for freewheeling when communicating inductive loads. If the high-side switches are used as
single switches, positive and negative voltage spikes which occur when driving inductive loads are limited by
integrated power clamp diodes.
4.3 Short Circuit Protection
The outputs are protected against short circuit to ground and short circuit over load
An internal OP-Amp controls the Drain-Source-Voltage by comparing the DS-Voltage-Drop with an internal
reference voltage. Above this trip point the OP-Amp reduces the output current depending on the junction
temperature and the drop voltage.
4.4 Overtemperature Protection
The high-side switches also incorporate an over temperature protection circuit with hysteresis which switches off
the output transistors and sets the status output to low.
4.5 Undervoltage Lockout
When VS reaches the switch-on voltage VUVON the IC becomes active with a hysteresis. The high-side output
transistors are switched off if the supply voltage VS drops below the switch off value VUVOFF.
4.6 Status Flag
The status flag output is an open drain output with zener-diode which requires a pull-up resistor, as shown in the
application circuit in Figure 4 “Application Example BTM7710GP” on Page 15. Various errors as listed in the
table “Diagnosis” are reported by switching the open drain output ST to low.

5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings
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.
