THREE-PHASE POWER
MOSFET CONTROLLER
The A3932SEQ is a three-phase MOSFET controller for use with bi-
polar brushless dc motors. Its high gate-current drive capability allows
driving a wide range of n-channel power MOSFETs and can support
motor supply voltages to 50 V. Bootstrapped high-side drive blocks
provide the floating positive supplies for the gate drive and minimize
the component count normally required. The high-side circuitry also
employs a unique FET monitoring circuit that ensures the gate voltages
are at the proper levels before turn-on and during the ON cycle.
Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control circuitry can be used to
regulate the maximum load current to a desired value. The peak load-
current limit is set by the user’s selection of an input reference voltage
and external sensing resistor. The fixed off-time pulse duration is set by
a user-selected external RC timing network. For added flexibility, the

variants are being phased out of the product line. The variants cited in this footnote are in production but
have been determined to be NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that sale of this device is currently
restricted to existing customer applications. The variants should not be purchased for new design applications because
obsolescence in the near future is probable. Samples are no longer available. Status change: May 1, 2006. These
variants include: A3932SEQ adn A3932SEQTR.

Functional Block Diagram
NOTE — For 12 V applications, VBB is shorted to VREG.
The V
REG
absolute maximum rating (15 V) must not be
exceeded.
PWM input can be used to provide speed/torque control,
allowing the internal current control circuit to set the maxi-
mum current limit.
Optional synchronous rectification is included. This
feature will short out the current path through the power
MOSFETs’ reverse body diodes during the PWM off-cycle
current decay. This can minimize power dissipation in the
power MOSFETs, eliminate the need for external power
clamp diodes, and potentially allow a more economical
choice for the MOSFET drivers.
The A3932 includes the commutation logic for Hall sen-
sors configured for 120 degree spacing. Power MOSFET
protection features include bootstrap capacitor charging
current monitor, undervoltage monitor, motor-lead short-
to-ground, and thermal shutdown.
The ‘–S–’ part-number suffix indicates an operating
temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. The ‘–EQ–’ suffix
indicates a 32-lead rectangular plastic chip carrier (PLCC).
The initial ‘–TR–’ variant suffix indicates tape and reel
packing. The ‘–T’ final variant suffix indicates lead (Pb)
free composition, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
