These include: system duty cycle and timing,
ambient temperature, and use of any heatsinking
and/or forced cooling. For reliable operation, the
specified maximum junction temperature should
not be exceeded.

3-PHASE BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR CONTROLLER/DRIVER
WITH LINEAR CURRENT CONTROL
AND POWER DMOS OUTPUTS
The A8925CEB is a DMOS three-phase brushless dc motor con-
troller/driver designed for use in Winchester disk drives and other data
±
4 A
output currents and have DMOS power outputs with less than 0.25
r
DS(on)
for low power dissipation. Intrinsic ground clamp and flyback
diodes protect the output drivers when switching inductive loads.
Thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the device from ex-
cessive junction temperature.
A transconductance amplifier is used to linearly regulate the load
current and control motor speed. Internal current-sensing circuitry
eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Analog and digital
control circuitry provide complete sequencing of the output drivers as
well as providing brake, disable, and tachometer functions. A FAULT
output flag indicates the presence of an under-voltage condition on the
12 V supply, excessive junction temperature, or an invalid Hall input
combination. The A8925CEB’s commutation logic is compatible with
motors that have digital Hall-effect sensors with 120
°
of electrical
separation. Internal charge pump circuitry is provided to drive the N-
channel DMOS source drivers to their required gate voltages.
The A8925CEB is provided in a 44-lead PLCC power package for
surface-mount applications. The copper batwing provides for maxi-
mum allowable package power dissipation in the smallest possible
construction.
