Description
The A3930 and A3931 are 3-phase brushless dc (BLDC) motor
controllers for use with N-channel external power MOSFETs.
They incorporate much of the circuitry required to design a
cost effective three-phase motor drive system, and have been
specifically designed for automotive applications.
A key automotive requirement is functionality over a wide
input supply range. A unique charge pump regulator provides
adequate (>10 V) gate drive for battery voltages down to 7 V,
and allows the device to operate with a reduced gate drive at
battery voltages down to 5.5 V. Power dissipation in the charge
pump is minimized by switching from a voltage doubling mode
at low supply voltage to a dropout mode at the nominal running
voltage of 14 V.
A bootstrap capacitor is used to provide the above-battery
supply voltage required for N-channel MOSFETs. An internal
charge pump for the high-side drive allows for dc (100% duty
cycle) operation.
Internal fixed-frequency PWM current control circuitry can
be used to regulate the maximum load current. The peak
load current limit is set by the selection of an input reference
voltage and external sensing resistor. The PWM frequency is
set by a user-selected external RC timing network. For added
flexibility, the PWM input can be used to provide speed and

combination on the Hall inputs. In this state, the A3930 indicates
a logic fault, but the A3931 prepositions the motor in an unstable
starting position suitable for start-up algorithms in microprocessor-
driven “sensor-less” control systems.
Both devices are supplied in a 48-pin LQFP with exposed thermal
pad. This is a small footprint (81 mm

) power package, that is lead
(Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

torque control, allowing the internal current control circuit to set
the maximum current limit.
Efficiency is enhanced by using synchronous rectification. The
power FETs are protected from shoot-through by integrated
crossover control with dead time. The dead time can be set by a
single external resistor.
The A3930 and A3931 only differ in their response to the all-zero
