MCF8316A Sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) Integrated FET BLDC Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
Three-phase BLDC motor driver with integrated
sensorless motor control algorithm
The MCF8316A provides a single-chip, code-free
sensorless FOC solution for customers driving speed-
controlled 12- to 24-V brushless-DC motors (BLDC)
or Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor (PMSM) up
to 8-A peak current. The MCF8316A integrates three
1/2-H bridges with 40-V absolute maximum capability
and a very low RDS(ON) of 95 mΩ(high-side + low-
side). Power management features of an adjustable
buck regulator and LDO generate the 3.3-V or 5.0-V
voltage rails for the device and can be used to power
external circuits.
– Code-free Field Oriented Control (FOC)
– Offline motor parameters measurement with
Motor Parameter Extraction Tool (MPET)
– 5-point configurable speed profile support
– Windmilling support through forward
resynchronization and reverse drive
– Analog, PWM, freq. or I2C based speed input
– Configurable motor startup and stop options
– Anti-voltage surge protections prevents
overvoltage
– Improved acoustic performance with automatic
dead time compensation
4.5- to 35-V operating voltage (40-V abs max)
High output current capability: 8-A peak
Low MOSFET on-state resistance
– 95-mΩ RDS(ON) (HS + LS) at TA = 25°C
Low power sleep mode
– 3-µA (maximum) at VVM = 24-V, TA = 25°C
Speed loop accuracy: 3% with internal clock and
1% with external clock reference
Customer-configurable non-volatile memory
(EEPROM) to store device configuration
Supports up to 75-kHz PWM frequency for low
inductance motor support
Does not require external current sense resistors,
built-in current sensing
The algorithm configuration can be stored in non-
volatile EEPROM, which allows the device to operate
stand-alone once it has been configured. The device
receives a speed command through a PWM input,
analog voltage, variable frequency square wave or
I2C command. There are a large number of protection
features integrated into the MCF8316A, intended to
protect the device, motor, and system against fault
events.
