3 Description

The DRV10975 device is a three-phase sensorless

motor driver with integrated power MOSFETs, which

can provide continuous drive current up to 1.5 A. The

device is specifically designed for cost-sensitive, lownoise,

low-external-component-count applications.

The DRV10975 device uses a proprietary sensorless

control scheme to provide continuous sinusoidal

drive, which significantly reduces the pure tone

acoustics that typically occur as a result of

commutation. The interface to the device is designed

to be simple and flexible. The motor can be controlled

directly through PWM, analog, or I2C inputs. Motor

speed feedback is available through either the FG pin

or I2C.

The DRV10975 device features an integrated stepdown

regulator to efficiently step down the supply

voltage to either 5 or 3.3 V for powering both internal

and external circuits. The device is available in either

a sleep mode or a standby mode version to conserve

power when the motor is not running. The standby

mode (4.5-mA) version leaves the regulator running

and the sleep mode (80-μA) version shuts it off. Use

the standby mode version in applications where the

regulator is used to power an external microcontroller.

and tuning of the device for optimal performance.
