Texas Instruments DRV8376 Three-Phase Integrated FET Motor Driver

Texas Instruments DRV8376 Three-Phase Integrated FET Motor Driver provides a gate drive and power stage for driving 4.5V to 65V brushless-DC motors. The DRV8376 integrates three 1/2-H bridges with 70V absolute maximum capability and a very low RDS(ON) of 400mΩ (high-side plus low-side) to enable high-power drive capability. Current is sensed using an integrated current sensing feature that eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Power management features with integrated LDO generate the necessary voltage rails for the device and can be used to power external circuits.

Texas Instruments DRV8376 implements a 6x or 3x PWM control scheme, which can implement sensorless or sensored field-oriented control (FOC), sinusoidal control, or trapezoid control using an external microcontroller. The DRV8376 is capable of driving a PWM frequency up to 100kHz. The control scheme is highly configurable through register settings or hardware pins, ranging from motor current limiting behavior to fault response. Many protection features are integrated into DRV8376 to protect the motor, device, and system against fault events.
