Description
The ZXBM1021 is a high performance and integrated feature rich and simple to use low noise single phase Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control pre-driver for fans, blowers, extractors and motor drive solutions.
For system flexibility the motor speed can be controlled by a DC voltage signal from either external control voltage or a PWM signal. The pre-driver output with source and sink capability of 100mA to drive external power switch allows power levels to be adjusted to suite motor requirements. The device has a supply voltage range of 6.8V to 18V (which can be extended with an external voltage regulator) and the operating ambient temperature range of -40°C to 110°C.
To simplify system circuit and minimize external components, the device integrates PWM signal integrator, Hall-Effect sensor amplifiers, Hall-bias supply, and voltage reference output. To prevent motor stalling or speed falling below a minimum value in absence of appropriate control signals, ZXBM1021 allows to set the minimum speed.
To prevent motor inrush current, the device has a soft start feature. To help protect the motor coil, the ZXBM1021 provides rotor lock protection which shutdown the output drive for a fixed period of time if rotor lock is detected. The device automatically restarts when the rotor lock is removed. The device monitors the motor current to provide a programmable over current limit.
To help minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) , audible switching noise and shoot through challenges, ZXBM1021 provides a V+OP pin for low side drive outputs which allows to adjust the current into the base of external power transistors or to control external power MOSFETs’ turn-on speed different to turn-off speed.
A tachometer output is provided by open-drain Frequency Generator (FG) Pin which allows external interface to monitor motor rotation or speed. The FG output is the magnetic change frequency.
The ZXBM1021 is available in thermally capable space saving low profile U-QFN4040-20 and industry standard QSOP-20 packages.
