The A3930 and A3931 are three-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 pro-
vides 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 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
combination on the Hall inputs. In this state, the A3930 indicates
a logic fault, but the A3931 pre-positions the motor in an unstable
starting position suitable for start-up algorithms in microproces-
sor-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
2
) power package. The pack-
age is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
