BLDC drive issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCT8316A, MCF8316A

Hi team,

For TI motor drives, could you help recommend a brushless motor drive which can meets the following requirements: 2-A current, square wave, sensorless, Over 24-V tolerance and can be applicated on the sweeper.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

  • Hello Cherry,

    Thank you for posting to the MD forum. Can you explain what the customer means by square wave? Are they looking for a single PWM input? and is this application 2A peak or 2A continuous current? Are they looking into using FOC or Trapezoidal control? 

    Based on what I have so far I believe that MCT8316A or MCF8316A would be a good fit. Both are 8-A sensorless, with integrated FETs. What differs between the two is that MCF8316A offers built in FOC control and the MCT8316A offers trapezoidal control. They can be operated with a single input PWM signal or an analog voltage. Any additional info could help me make a better suggestion. I hope this helps!

    Best,

    Isaac
