SA306-IHZ Brushless DC Motor Driver IC

598-1486-ND SA306-IHZ Brushless DC Motor Driver IC

The SA306-IHZ is a fully integrated switching amplifier designed primarily to drive three-phase Brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Three independent half bridges provide up to 17A PEAK output current under microcontroller or DSC control. Thermal and short circuit monitoring is provided, which generates fault signals for the microcontroller to take appropriate action.

Additionally, cycle-by-cycle current limit offers user programmable hardware protection independent of the microcontroller. Output current is measured using an innovative low loss technique. The SA306-IHZ is built using a multi-technology process allowing CMOS logic control and complementary DMOS output power devices on the same IC. Use of P-channel high side FETs enables 60V operation without bootstrap or charge pump circuitry.

The 64-pin PowerQuad surface mount package balances excellent thermal performance with the advantages of a low profile surface mount package. Datasheet Block Diagram

598-1488-ND SA306-IHZ Demo Board DB64


The DB64 is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the SA306-IHZ 3 phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver IC. This fully assembled demonstration allows the user to directly control the speed and direction of the motor. An onboard controller decodes HALL Effect sensor inputs for commutation in either direction and provides four quadrant PWM signals to control the power outputs of the SA306-IHZ. LEDs provide feedback for motor control status and fault indications. Provisions on the DB64 allow the user to bypass the onboard control circuit and directly interface with the SA306-IHZ brushless motor driver. The DB64 demonstrates proper layout techniques for the SA306-IHZ high current switching amplifier. The economical construction uses only a two-sided PCB and allows the SA306-IHZ to deliver peak currents of over 1kW.
