3 Description
The DRV8308 controls sensored brushless DC
motors with advanced features and a simple input
interface. As a predriver, it drives the gates of 6
external N-Channel MOSFETs with a configurable
current of 10mA to 130mA for optimal switching
characteristics.
The 3 motor phases are commutated according to the
Hall sensor inputs. Once the motor reaches a
consistent speed, the DRV8308 uses just 1 Hall
sensor to minimize jitter caused by sensor mismatch.
The Hall signal-to-drive timing can be advanced or
delayed in 0.1% increments to optimize power
efficiency. An optional 180° commutation mode drives
sinusoidal current through the motor and minimizes
audible noise and torque ripple. Peak motor current
can be controlled by sizing a sense resistor.
The DRV8308 achieves closed-loop speed control to
spin motors to a precise RPM across a wide range of
load torques. The system matches motor
speed—generated from an FG trace or the Hall
sensors—to the reference frequency on pin CLKIN.
The DRV8308 can also drive motors open-loop using
a duty cycle command, from either a clock or register
setting.
An assortment of protection features bolster system
robustness, as the DRV8308 handles and reports
overcurrent,
overvoltage,
undervoltage,
overtemperature, and locked rotors.
