DSCONINUEDPRODUC
Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate device thermal
shutdown circuitry. These conditions can be
tolerated, but should be avoided.
Always order by complete part number:

Output current rating may be restricted to a value
determined by system concerns and factors.
These include: system duty cycle and timing,
ambient temperature, and use of any heatsinking
and/or forced cooling. For reliable operation the
specified maximum junction temperature should
not be exceeded.

VOICE COIL MOTOR DRIVER
Providing control and drive of the voice coil motor used for head
positioning in 5 V disk drive applications, the A8936C— is a full-bridge
driver which can be configured so that its output current is a direct
function of an externally applied control voltage or current. This linear
protect the heads and the data disk during system failure or normal
system shutdown. An under- or over-velocity sense disables the
system in a controlled sequence if a fault condition occurs.
The two
±
500 mA MOS driver outputs provide very low saturation
voltage and minimal power dissipation. Additional headroom is
achieved by the sense-FET structure eliminating the need for an
external current-sense resistor. Thermal protection and under-voltage
lockout disables the system in a controlled sequence if a fault condi-
tion occurs.
