3 Description

DRV8316C-Q1 integrates three H-bridges with 40-V

absolute maximum capability and a very low RDS(ON)

of 95 mΩ (high-side + low-side) to enable high power

drive capability for 12-V automotive brushless-DC

motors. DRV8316C-Q1 provides integrated current

sensing which eliminates the need for external

sense resistors. DRV8316C-Q1 integrates power

management circuits including an voltage-adjustable

buck regulator (3.3-V / 5-V, 200-mA) and LDO (3.3-V /

30-mA) that can be used to power external circuits.

DRV8316C-Q1 provides a configurable 6x or 3x PWM

control scheme which can be used to implement

sensored or sensorless field-oriented control (FOC),

sinusoidal control, or trapezoid control using an

external microcontroller. DRV8316C-Q1 is capable

of driving a PWM frequency of up to 200 kHz.

DRV8316C-Q1 is highly configurable either through

SPI (DRV8316CR-Q1) or pins (DRV8316CT-Q1) -

PWM mode. slew rate, OCP level, current sense gain

are some of the configurable features.

A number of protection features including supply

undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection

(OVP), charge pump undervoltage (CPUV),

overcurrent protection (OCP), over-temperature

warning (OTW) and over-temperature shutdown

(OTSD) are integrated into DRV8316C-Q1 to protect

the device, motor, and system against fault events.

Fault conditions are indicated by the nFAULT pin.
