PRELIMINARY
Brushless DC Motor Controller
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Two Quadrant and Four Quadrant
The UCC3626 motor controller IC combines many of the functions re-
quired to design a high performance, two or four quadrant, 3-phase,
brushless DC motor controller into one package. Rotor position inputs
are decoded to provide six outputs that control an external power stage.
A precision triangle oscillator and latched comparator provide PWM mo-
tor control in either voltage or current mode configurations. The oscilla-
tor is easily synchronized to an external master clock source via the
SYNCH input. Additionally, a QUAD select input configures the chip to
modulate either the low side switches only, or both upper and lower
switches, allowing the user to minimize switching losses in less de-
manding two quadrant applications.
Operation
• Integrated Absolute Value Current
Amplifier
• Pulse-by-Pulse and Average Current
Sensing
• Accurate, Variable Duty Cycle
Tachometer Output
• Trimmed Precision Reference
• Precision Oscillator
The chip includes a differential current sense amplifier and absolute
value circuit which provide an accurate reconstruction of motor current,
useful for pulse by pulse over current protection as well as closing a
current control loop. A precision tachometer is also provided for imple-
menting closed loop speed control. The TACH_OUT signal is a variable
duty cycle, frequency output which can be used directly for digital con-
trol or filtered to provide an analog feedback signal. Other features in-
clude COAST, BRAKE, and DIR_IN commands along with a direction
output, DIR_OUT.
