A4960 Sensorless BLDC Controller

The A4960 is a three-phase, sensorless, brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller for use with external N-channel power MOSFETs. The motor is driven using block commutation (trapezoidal drive) where phase commutation is determined, without the need for independent position sensors, by monitoring the moto.

A4960 Features

* 3-phase BLDC sensorless start-up and commutation

* Gate drive for N-channel MOSFETs

* Integrated PWM current limit

* 7 to 50 V supply voltage operating range

* Compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic

* Cross-conduction protection with adjustable dead tim
