SA306
SA306
DESCRIPTION
3 Phase Switching Amplifier
FEATURES
♦ Low cost 3 phase intelligent switching amplifier
♦ Directly connects to most embedded Micro-
controllers and Digital Signal Controllers
♦ Integrated gate driver logic with dead-time
generation and shoot-through prevention
♦ Wide power supply range (8.5V to 60V)
♦ Over 15A peak output current per phase
♦ 5A continuous output current per phase
8A continuous for A-Grade (SA306A)
♦ Independent current sensing for each output
♦ User programmable cycle-by-cycle current
limit protection
♦ Over-current and over-temperature warning
signals
The SA306 is a fully integrated switching amplifier
designed primarily to drive three-phase Brushless
DC (BLDC) motors. Three independent half bridges
provide over 15 amperes peak output current under
microcontroller or DSC control. Thermal and short cir-
cuit monitoring is provided, which generates fault sig-
nals for the microcontroller to take appropriate action.
A block diagram is provided in Figure 1.
Additionally, cycle-by-cycle current limit offers user
programmable hardware protection independent of the
microcontroller. Output current is measured using an
innovative low loss technique. The SA306 is built using
a multi-technology process allowing CMOS logic con-
trol and complementary DMOS output power devices
on the same IC. Use of P-channel high side FETs en-
ables 60V operation without bootstrap or charge pump
circuitry.
The Power Quad surface mount package balances ex-
cellent thermal performance with the advantages of a
low profile surface mount package.
APPLICATIONS
♦ 3 phase brushless DC motors
♦ Multiple DC brush motors
♦ 3 independent solenoid actuators

2. Long term operation at elevated temperature will result in reduced product life. De-rate internal power
dissipation to achieve high MTBF.
3. Output current rating may be limited by duty cycle, ambient temperature, and heat sinking. Under any
set of conditions, do not exceed the specified current rating or a junction temperature of 150°C.
