Alternatively, a sensor-less architecture can be implemented with more processing overhead. The MCU can measure the current through each winding via the FAN4852, CMOS Op-Amp (9MHz typical BW), and optionally, can assess the rotor’s angular position with Hall Effect sensor feedback. Above 300V, N-Channel MOSFETs are typically replaced by IGBTs for their higher power performance. These are typically N-Channel MOSFETS rated for 1.5~2.0x the motor voltage, up to ~300V.

These three drivers act as power steering for the six power MOSFETs in the output bridge, energizing the low-side (LS) and high-side (HS) U, V, and W MOSFETs. The MCU executes the control and modulation scheme firmware, where it commands its PWM peripherals to output six coordinated duty cycles to three half-bridge gate drivers. When done properly, this interaction allows for precise control of the motor’s speed, torque, or power in the desired direction.įigure 2 illustrates a typical block diagram of a 3-phase BLDC motor. This creates electromagnetic fields, causing an interactive force between the rotor magnets and the stator windings.

A microcontroller (MCU) implements one of a variety of control and modulation schemes (trapezoidal, sinusoidal, FOC with SVM, DTC, etc.) to strategically energize the motor windings. A typical BLDC motor uses permanent magnets on the rotor, and three armature windings (U, V, W) on the stator. This includes 5 comprehensive tables incorporating motor voltages of 12V, 24V, 48V, 60V, 120V, 200V, 300V, 400V and 650V, up to 6kW.īrushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many advantages over brushed permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors, specifically higher reliability, little to no maintenance, lower electrical and acoustic noise, better thermal performance, higher speed range, and higher power density. Onsemi is here to help, delivering a “new 1 st order approximation starting point”, matching gate drive to switch (N-FET, or IGBT), much closer to the customer’s final decision, and leapfrogging the “old starting point” of seemingly endless product portfolio grazing.

It doesn’t help that customers begin their electronics selection (old starting point) navigating through a maze of enormous MOSFET, IGBT and Gate driver product portfolios. Brushless DC motor (BLDC) design is complicated.
