DRV10866: Bi-Directional Motor

Part Number: DRV10866
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV11873, DRV10964, MCT8316A

Hi Team, we would like to confirm if this device can be used for a bi-directional motor. 

Thank you.

  • Hello Mark,

    Thanks for posting to the MD forum! The DRV10866 does not have a direction pin, so it will only turn in one direction (commutate from U -> V -> W). 

    I am not aware what the customers requirements/specifications are so here a couple of options to look at:

    DRV11873, also a sensorless trapezoidal device, also offers direction change via the FR pin.

    DRV10964, this is a sensorless device as well, but only offers sinusoidal control instead of trapezoidal. Direction can be changed via the FR pin.

    MCT8316A, this is a brand new device that offer sensorless trapezoidal control. This device has a higher voltage and significantly higher output current and is probably far more intricate than what the customer may need for their application.

    I hope this helps!

    Best,

    Isaac
