Half-bridges ("PS" Connection)
The ES930.1 provides six MOSFET half-bridge switches with current measure-
ment at the "PS" connection as power stages.
10.1
Half-bridges (Power Stages) and Half-bridge Channel
Groups (Power Stage Groups)
The six Half-bridges (power stages) "PS 1" to "PS 6" of the ES930.1 are com-
bined into three identical channel groups (power stage groups):
•
Channel group 1: Half-bridges "PS 1" and "PS 2"
•
Channel group 2: Half-bridges "PS 3" and "PS 4"
•
Channel group 3: Half-bridges "PS 5" and "PS 6"
NOTE
Some assemblies and control signals are used jointly (in pairs) by the Half-
bridges of a channel group.

The channel groups (power stage groups) of the Half-bridges "PS 1" to "PS 6" of
ES930.1 feature an identical design. Each of the half-bridge channel groups PS
n / PS n+1 consists of the following assemblies (see block diagram in Fig. 10-1
