3 Description
DRV8317 provides three integrated MOSFET halfbridges
for driving three-phase brushless DC (BLDC)
motors with 5-V, 9-V, 12-V, or 18-V DC rails or 2s
to 4s batteries. The device provides integrated threephase
current sensing which eliminates the need for
external sense resistors. DRV8317 has an integrated
LDO that provides a regulated 3.3-V rail capable of
delivering up to 80mA for external loads like MCU,
logic circuits, hall sensors etc.,
DRV8317 provides a configurable 6x or 3x PWM
control scheme which can be used to implement
sensored or sensorless field-oriented control (FOC),
sinusoidal control, or trapezoidal control using an
external microcontroller. DRV8317 is capable of
driving a PWM frequency of up to 200 kHz. DRV8317
is highly configurable either through SPI (DRV8317S)
or pins (DRV8317H) - PWM mode, slew rate, current
sense gain are some of the configurable features.
A number of protection features including supply
under voltage lockout (UVLO), over voltage protection
(OVP), charge pump under voltage (CPUV), over
current protection (OCP), over temperature warning
(OTW) and over temperature shutdown (OTS) are
integrated into DRV8317 to protect the device, motor,
and system against fault events. Fault conditions are
indicated by the nFAULT pin.
