Description
The LM621 is a bipolar IC designed for commutation of brushless DC motors The part is compatible with both three- and four-phase motors It can directly drive the power switching devices used to drive the motor The LM621 provides an adjustable dead-time circuit to eliminate ‘‘shootthrough’’ current s
