MC34GD3000EPR2

Overview

The MC34GD3000EPR2 is a three-phase brushless motor pre-driver IC designed for gate driving applications. It integrates three half-bridge drivers, each capable of driving two N-channel MOSFETs. The device supports peak currents from 1 A to 2.5 A and operates on a single power supply ranging from 6 V to 60 V, with 75 V transient protection. It utilizes a bootstrap architecture with trickle charge circuitry to support 100% duty cycle operation. Integrated features include programmable cross-talk protection, VDS sensing for over-current protection, and a current shunt amplifier for phase error detection. Communication with the MCU is facilitated via six direct input control signals, an SPI port for setup, and asynchronous reset/enable/interrupt signals.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EPR2 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type, tape-and-reel specifications, and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target system's logic voltage levels (3.0 V or 5.0 V) and supply voltage range (6 V to 60 V). Confirm that the required deadtime settings and SPI configuration match the design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing three-phase motor drives requiring integrated pre-driver functionality with high-side and low-side FET protection. It is suitable for applications needing wide supply voltage coverage and precise current measurement capabilities. Consider the SPI configurability for deadtime and protection thresholds if dynamic adjustment is required. Ensure the external MOSFETs are compatible with the gate drive current and voltage levels provided by the IC.

Part Context

The MC34GD3000 belongs to NXP's GD3000 series of three-phase brushless motor pre-drivers.
