Allegro MicroSystems A3930
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. The A3930 and A3931 only differ in their response to the all-zero combination on the Hall inputs.| Part No. | A3930 |

DESCRIPTION
A key automotive requirement is functionality over a wide input supply range. A unique charge pump regulator provides 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.
