DRV8313: Difference between H-bridge and half bridge in a sine wave controller

wessel kooiman

Part Number: DRV8313

Hi Team,

I am looking to control a BLDC motor using a sine wave controller and need a driver for this application.
Now I have come across various things about an H-bridge and a half bridge driver which were not entirely clear to me.
When using a trapezoidal waveform, there is obviously 0V, floating and Vcc needed but with the sine wave this is only a PWM signal with just high/low signals.
So, does it still have advantages to use an H-bridge with a sine wave controller, or does this make less of a difference?

Thanks, Wessel

Hi Wessel,

I apologize again for the long delay.

For this question regarding a sine wave controller, I'd like to ask if you are referring to integrated control/commutation BLDC drivers? (MCx BLDC Drivers compared to Non-integrated control drivers (DRV) where a separate PWM controller source is required)

Our BLDC drivers are driving 3 half-bridges (3 motor phases each with a high-side and low-side MOSFET pair) with PWM regardless of commutation methodology, so I would like to point to this video here that details the major benefits, differences, and general operation of a BLDC motor/motor driver using sinusoidal and trapezoidal commutation methods, which I believe may answer your questions for your specific application.

Please let me know if you have any additional clarifying questions that I can help provide an answer.

Once again, thank you for your patience, and Best Regards,

-Joshua

Because of the holidays, TI E2E™ design support forum responses will be delayed from Dec. 25 through Jan. 2. Thank you for your patience.
