Microchip’s MCP8063 is an automotive (AEC-Q100-qualified) motor driver in an 8-pin, 4 x 4 mm DFN package. It is also the world’s first to combine all of those features with 1,5 A peak phase current for the 180-degree sinusoidal drive of a variety of three-phase brushless DC motor and fan applications.
This integration reduces cost and PCB area, and the high sinusoidal drive performance provides high efficiency, low acoustic noise and low mechanical vibration for energy savings and quiet operation. Additionally, the chip includes safety features such as thermal shutdown, over-current limiting and lock-up protection.
The MCP8063 suits the needs of automotive, IT, industrial and home appliance markets over a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It supports the sensorless driving of BLDC motors, which eliminates the cost and space of a Hall sensor.
To enable development with the new motor driver, Microchip also released the MCP8063 12 V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demo Kit which comes with a user-friendly configuration GUI. The company also supports its motor control and driver portfolios with a full range of development solutions, including firmware, algorithms, application notes, development tools, evaluation boards and reference designs.
