3 Description

DRV8316C 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/24-V brushless-DC motors.

DRV8316C provides integrated current sensing which

eliminates the need for external sense resistors.

DRV8316C 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 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 is capable of

driving a PWM frequency of up to 200 kHz.

DRV8316C is highly configurable either through SPI

(DRV8316CR) or pins (DRV8316CT) - 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 to protect the

device, motor, and system against fault events. Fault

conditions are indicated by the nFAULT pin.
