This reference design showcases a compact driver system design used to drive a single brushless DC (BLDC) motor and up to six solenoid valves. The BLDC motor is used to quietly and efficiently generate pressurized airflow. The solenoid valves are used to both create different gas mixtures and to provide safety mechanisms in the event of failures. The design supports up to 10 A of continuous motor drive, which can cover the motor operating requirements in most respirator applications. Additionally, this design includes a power tree capable of handling typical regulated DC voltage rails and battery voltage levels (6-28 V) for applications that are moving to portable designs.
Table 1-4 lists the different characteristics and specifications of the TIDA-010072 board.
