A4964 Datasheet Sensorless Sinusoidal Drive BLDC Controller

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

Overview: A4964 2 - Sensorless Sinusoidal Drive BLDC Controller.

General Description

The A4964 is a three-phase, sensorless, brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller for use with external N-channel power MOSFETs and is specifically designed for automotive applications.

It is designed to provide the motor control functions in a system where a small microcontroller provides the communication interface to a central ECU and intelligent fault and status handling.

The A4964 provides the supply and watchdog for the microcontroller and the high-voltage interfaces between the microcontroller and the central ECU and ignition switch.
