MCT8316A High Speed Sensorless Trapezoidal Control Integrated FET BLDC Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
Three-phase BLDC motor driver with integrated
sensorless motor control algorithm
– Code-free high speed Trapezoidal Control
– Supports upto 3 kHz (electrical frequency)
– Very fast startup time (<50 ms)
– Fast Deceleration (<150 ms)
– Supports 120° or 150° modulation to improve
acoustic performance
– Windmilling support through forward
resynchronization and reverse drive
– Analog, PWM, freq. or I2C based speed input
– Active Demagnetization to reduce power losses
– Configurable motor startup and stop options
– Optional closed loop speed control
– Anti-voltage surge protections prevents
overvoltage
– Variable monitoring through DACOUT
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
The MCT8316A provides
a
single-chip, code-
free sensorless trapezoidal solution for customers
requiring high speed operation (up to 3kHz electrical)
or very fast startup time (<50ms) for 12- to 24-V
brushless-DC motors up to 8-A peak current. The
MCT8316A 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.
Sensorless trapezoidal control is highly configurable
through register settings (MCT8316AV) or hardware
pins (MCT8316AT) ranging from motor start-up
behavior to closed loop operation. Register settings
for MCT8316AV can be set 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 MCT8316A, intended to protect the
device, motor, and system against fault events.
