SI9993CS Overview
The Si9993CS consists of a 3-phase brushless dc motor (spindle) PWM controller and a linear/PWM transconductance stage suitable for driving a voice coil motor (head actuator). To meet the power handling capability required for a high capacity hard disk drive, both drivers utilize external LITTLE FOOT half-bridges (Siliconix Si9942 remended). A separate LITTLE FOOT PMOS switch (Si9430) is used as a synchronous...
