3 Description

The MCF8316D provides a single-chip, code-free

sensorless FOC device for customers driving speedcontrolled

12 to 24V brushless-DC motors (BLDC) or

Permanent Magnet Synchronous motor (PMSM) up

to 8A peak current. The MCF8316D integrates three

½-bridges with 40V absolute maximum capability and

a very low RDS(ON) of 95mΩ (high-side + low-side

FETs). MCF8316D integrates power management

circuits including a voltage-adjustable buck regulator

(3.3V/5V, 170mA) and LDO (3.3V, 20mA) that can be

used to power external circuits.

The FOC algorithm configuration can be stored

in non-volatile EEPROM, which allows the device

to operate stand-alone once the device has been

configured. The device receives a speed command

through a PWM input, analog voltage, variable

frequency square wave or I2C command. There are

a large number of protection features integrated into

the MCF8316D, intended to protect the device, motor,

and system against fault events.
