MCF8329A1IREER

Overview

The MCF8329A1IREER is a three-phase BLDC gate driver from Texas Instruments designed for sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) of brushless DC or permanent magnet synchronous motors. It integrates three half-bridge drivers capable of driving high-side and low-side N-channel power MOSFETs using a bootstrap circuit with an internal charge pump. The device supports a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 60V on a single supply. Key electrical parameters include peak source/sink currents of 1A/2A, a sleep mode current of 5µA maximum at 24V, and PWM frequency support up to 100kHz. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in a WQFN-36 package.
