Note: The Safe Operating Area (SOA) charts shown are a combination of the worst case secondary
breakdown characteristics for the NPN/PNP pair, and the thermal curves demonstrating the
power dissipation capability of the energised ZHB part (opposing NPN-PNP switched on) when
mounted on a 50mm x 50mm FR4 PCB. The two cases show:
i) full copper present and
ii) with minimal copper present - this being defined as an SM-8 footprint with 1.5mm tracks to
the edge of the PCB.
For example, on a 50mm x 50mm full copper PCB, the ZHB6718 will safely dissipate 2W under
DC conditions, taking note of continuous current ratings and voltage limits. Higher powers can
be tolerated for pulsed operation, while the shorter pulse widths (100µs and 1ms) being relevant
for assessment of switching conditions.
The ZHB6718 H-Bridge can be modelled within SPICE using the following transistor models
configured in the standard H-Bridge topology, as shown in the schematic diagram of this datasheet.
