A4938 Datasheet 3-phase Brushless DC Motor Pre-driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

Overview: A4938 3-Phase Brushless DC Motor Pre-Driver.

General Description

The A4938 is a complete 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor pre-driver, supplying direct, high-current gate drive of an all N-channel power MOSFET 3-phase bridge.

The device has three Hall-element inputs, a sequencer for commutation control, fixed off-time pulse width modulation (PWM) current control, and locked-rotor detection.

Output current is scaled by the capability of the external MOSFETs.

Key Features

  • Drives 6 N-channel MOSFETs.
  • Synchronous rectification for low power dissipation.
  • Internal UVLO and thermal shutdown circuitry.
  • Hall element inputs.
  • PWM current limiting.
  • Dead time protection.
  • FG outputs.
  • Standby mode.
  • Lock detect protection.
  • Overvoltage protection.
