PAC5232AQX-T

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The PAC5232AQX-T is a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller and driver manufactured by Qorvo. It integrates an Arm Cortex-M0 MCU with 32kB Flash and 8kB SRAM, operating at a maximum frequency of 50MHz. The device features a half-bridge output capable of driving high-power BLDC motors up to 160V with a peak current of 2A. Key electrical specifications include a supply voltage range of 25V to 160V, a minimum operating temperature of -40°C, and a maximum operating temperature of +105°C. It utilizes a QFN-51 surface-mount package.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX-T' against the official Qorvo datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and quality grade. Ensure compatibility with the PAC5232 family pinout if substituting other variants. Check for moisture sensitivity labeling as indicated in similar Qorvo PMIC packages.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring integrated control and power stages in a single SoC. The 160V rating suits higher voltage battery platforms compared to lower-voltage counterparts like the PAC5523QM. Consider the 50MHz CPU speed sufficient for standard FOC algorithms; upgrade to PAC5532B if DSP instructions or higher ADC resolution are required.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the Qorvo PAC5232 series, designed for cost-effective BLDC motor control solutions. It shares architectural similarities with the PAC5232A but may differ in packaging or specific qualification grades denoted by the suffix. It serves as a mid-range option between basic drivers and high-performance DSP-integrated controllers.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include PAC5232A. For higher performance requirements, consider the PAC5532B which offers a faster MCU and higher-resolution ADC. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before replacing.
