3 Description

The MCT8314Z provides a single-chip, codefree

sensored trapezoidal commutation device for

customers driving 12- to 24-V brushless-DC motors.

The MCT8314Z integrates three 1/2-H bridges with

40-V absolute maximum capability and a low RDS(ON)

of 575-mΩ (high-side and low-side combined) to

enable high power drive capability. The integrated

current limiting feature limits motor currents during

start-up or high load conditions while eliminating the

need for external sense resistors. An integrated 5-V

LDO generates the necessary voltage rail for the

device and can power external circuits.

MCT8314Z implements sensored trapezoidal control

in a fixed-function state machine, so an external

microcontroller is not required to spin the brushless

DC motor. The MCT8314Z device integrates three

analog Hall comparators for position sensing to

achieve sensored trapezoidal BLDC motor control.

The control scheme is highly configurable through

hardware pins or registers settings ranging from motor

current limiting behavior to fault response. The speed

can be controlled through a PWM input.

There are a large number of protection features

integrated into the MCT8314Z that are designed to

protect the device, motor, and system against fault

events.
