Hello there,

I want to design an H-Bridge for my application.
I learnt that I need two transistors of each type NPN and PNP to make a H-bridge in the simplest way.

here are the power transistors I am going to use

The PNP one

and the NPN

so my question is are those two type of transistors ideal to make a working H bridge.

What is the required voltage to drive the transistor on and off, can you drive them directly using the output from the I/O pin of an AVR (TTL) ?
It would be best if someone can refer a link related to it

Motors I intend to run motors with 5Amp each so I would use four mosfet for each half bridge to make current go parallel in two routes instead of whole 5 amp through just one mosfet vaporizing it

A motor has a much higher starting or stall current than the running current. The mosfets should be sized to handle that current.

What voltage is the motor?
