DRV7308: Higher continuous output

Part Number: DRV7308
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-010273, , LMG2610, LMG2650

Tool/software:

Hi support team,

I'm a hardware engineer in robotics.
Is it possible for this chip to continuously output up to 1kW with appropriate peripheral circuit component selection and thermal solution, such as a small heatsink or possibly a cooling fan?
The datasheet claims: “The device helps to achieve more than 99% efficiency for a 3-phase modulated, FOC-driven, 250W motor drive application in a QFN 12mm x 12mm package at 20kHz switching frequency. eliminating the need for heat sink. ” Both the related DRV7308EVM and TIDA-010273 are designed for 250W.

Please provide any reference information for handling higher output motors.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your question! Since 1kW is significantly higher than the 250W target application of the device, I don't believe it would be achievable even with a heatsink. However, we always welcome feedback as we consider future devices, so I would love to hear a little more about your requirements. What would be the RMS current expected in your system? How about the peak currents? What operating voltage would this be used at?

    Additionally, if you ok with considering 3 separate half bridge drivers, we might have some half bridge integrated GaN drivers available that might be able to support your requirements.

  • Hi.

    Thanks for the quick response ,

    Please give me time to summarize our requests, though they include things that are under consideration.

    And It is difficult to post the usage and details on a public thread because they are confidential to the company,
    Is it possible to contact you directly by some secure means or email?

    These may be useful to some other users, so could you please post them as relevant information.

    Thank you in advance.

  • Hi Yamamoto-san,

    Understood, we can put you in contact with a member of our team to discuss the details of the project further. 

    Regarding the half bridge integrated GaN drivers, you can find the product family here: https://www.ti.com/power-management/power-stages/gallium-nitride-power-stages/overview.html?keyMatch=gan&tisearch=universal_search There are 2 half bridge GaN capable of up to 650V abs max: The LMG2610 and LMG2650. Additionally, there are some lower voltage GaN options as well in the family.
