The DRV8376-Q1 provides a gate drive and power stage for
driving a 4.5V to 65V brushless-DC motors. The DRV8376 integrates three 1/2-H
bridges with 70V absolute maximum capability and a very low RDS(ON) of
400mΩ (high-side plus low-side) to enable high-power drive capability. Current is
sensed using an integrated current sensing feature eliminating the need for external
sense resistors. Power management features with integrated LDO generate the
necessary voltage rails for the device and can be used to power external
circuits.
DRV8376-Q1 implements a 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. The
DRV8376 is capable of driving a PWM frequency up to 100kHz. The control scheme is
highly configurable through hardware pins or register settings ranging from motor
current limiting behavior to fault response.
There are a large number of protection
features integrated into DRV8376-Q1, intended to
protect the device, motor, and system against fault events.
