12.3. Functional Description
The Application Specific Power Drivers (ASPD, Figure 12-1) module handles power driving for power control
applications. The PAC5220 has three low-side gate drivers (DRLx), three high-side gate drivers (DRHx), and
two high-voltage open-drain drivers (OHIx). Each gate driver can drive an external MOSFET or IGBT switch in
response to high-speed control signals from the microcontroller ports, and a pair of high-side and low-side gate
drivers can form a half-bridge driver. The open-drain drivers provide activation control for relays, LEDs, buffers,
and other loads.
Figure 12-2 below shows typical gate driver connections and Table 12-1 shows the ASPD resources available
on different PAC part numbers. The PAC5220 gate drivers support up to a 52V supply.
