6.1 Overview

The MCF8315C provides a single-chip, code-free sensorless FOC solution for customers driving speed-controlled 12- to 24-V brushless-DC motors requiring up to 4-A peak phase currents.

The MCF8315C integrates three ½-bridges with 40V absolute maximum capability and a low RDS(ON) of 250mΩ(RRY)/265mΩ(PWP) (high-side + low-side) to enable high power drive capability. Current is sensed using an integrated current sensing circuit which eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Power management features of an adjustable buck regulator and LDO generate the necessary voltage rails for the device and can also be used to power external circuits.

MCF8315C implements sensorless FOC, so an external microcontroller is not required to spin the brushless DC motor. The algorithm is implemented in a fixed-function state machine, so no coding is needed. The algorithm is highly configurable through register settings ranging from motor start-up behavior to closed-loop operation. Register settings can be stored in non-volatile EEPROM, which allows the device to operate stand-alone once it has been configured. The device receives a speed command through a PWM input, analog voltage, frequency input, or I2C command.

In-built protection features include power-supply under voltage lockout (UVLO), charge-pump under voltage lockout (CPUV), over current protection (OCP), AVDD under voltage lockout (AVDD_UV), buck regulator UVLO, motor lock detection and over temperature warning and shutdown (OTW and TSD). Fault events are indicated by the nFAULT pin with detailed fault information available in the registers.

The MCF8315C device is available in two packages:

  1. RRY: 32-pin, 6x4mm, 0.5mm pin pitch wettable-flank WQFN with a height of 0.8mm
  2. PWP: 24-pin, 7.8x6.4mm, 0.65mm pin pitch HTSSOP with a height of 1.2mm
