DMHC3025LSD H-Bridge Question
« on: July 31, 2018, 08:17:09 pm »
I thought I understood h-bridge chips, but evidently I'm missing something with this chip so I need some help.  Here is the datasheet for the chip I'm using (it's just 2 pmosfets and 2 nmosfets): https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/115/DMHC3025LSD-218720.pdf

I'm powering this chip with 12V.  Then to the 4 inputs on the hbridge I'm passing in P1G=0V, N1G=12V, P2G=0V, N2G=12V.  The P pins are pmosfets.  The N pins are nmosfets.  So I thought this would effectively turn off all 4 mosfets, but I'm seeing an internal short in the chip.

Can someone gently explain what I'm misunderstanding?

Thanks in advance for the help!

In simple terms for this device, the N-type mosfet is on when the gate is positive, the P-type is on when gate is at ground.
I think you got N and P mixed up.

You are correct.  That was my mistake.  Thanks!
