Design files

Overview

This reference design demonstrates 600-W power stage for driving a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor in cordless tools operating from a 5-cell Li-ion battery with a voltage up to 21 V. The design is a 60 mm x 60 mm compact drive, bringing 33-A RMS continuous current at 20-kHz switching frequency without heat sink and with natural convection, implementing sensor based trapezoidal control. The design shows MOSFET operation within the safe operating area using enhanced protection including MOSFET overcurrent and shoot-through protection by VDS monitoring, switching voltage spike optimization with slew-rate control and overtemperature protection

Features
  • 600-W drive for BLDC motor supporting sensor based trapezoidal control
  • Small PCB form factor of 60 mm × 60 mm
  • Designed to operate From 5 V to 21 V
  • Supports up to 33-ARMS continuous winding current
  • High efficiency at 18 V and 600 W for 20-kHz unipolar trapezoidal control
