A4962 Datasheet Sensorless Bldc Controller

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

Overview: A4962 Sensorless BLDC Controller.

General Description

The A4962 is a three-phase, sensorless, brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller for use with external complementary P-channel and N-channel power MOSFETs and is specifically designed for automotive applications.

The A4962 can be used as a stand-alone controller communicating directly with an electronic control unit (ECU) or it can be used in a close-coupled system with a local microcontroller (MCU).

The motor is driven using block commutation (trapezoidal drive) where phase commutation is determined, without the need for independent position sensors, by monitoring the motor backEMF (bemf).

Key Features

  • Three-phase sensorless BLDC motor control FET driver.
  • Logic level P-N gate drive (P high-side, N low-side).
  • 4.2 to 50 V supply range.
  • Simple block commutation for maximum torque.
  • Sensorless (bemf sensing) startup and commutation.
  • Programmable operating modes:.
  • Integrated speed control.
  • PWM duty cycle control.
  • Current mode control.
  • Cross-conduction prevention.
  • Wide speed range capability.
