Description
The A4915 is designed for pulse width modulated (PWM)
current control of 3-phase brushless DC motors. The A4915
is capable of high current gate drive for 6 all N-channel power
MOSFETs. An internal charge pump ensures gate drive down
to 7 V supply and provides limited gate drive down to 5 V. A
bootstrap capacitor is used to generate a supply voltage greater
than the source voltage of the high side MOSFET, required
for N-channel MOSFETs.
Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided
to improve power dissipation in the external MOSFETs during
PWM operation. Internal circuit protection includes latched
thermal shutdown, dead time protection, and undervoltage
lockout. Special power up sequencing is not required.
The A4915 is supplied in a 28-pin TSSOP with an exposed
thermal pad (suffix LP) and a 28-contact 5 × 5 mm QFN with
an exposed thermal pad (suffix ET). These packages are lead
(Pd) free, with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
