3-Phase Brushless Motor Driver ICs With Sensorless Vector Control Rated for 250V & 600V

July 21, 2019 by Scott McMahan

Sanken Semiconductors introduced the SX68200M series of 3-phase brushless motor drivers which integrate output transistors, pre-drive circuits, and bootstrap diodes with current-limiting resistors.

A sinusoidal driving strategy with sensorless vector control of the SX68200M series brings small-sized, high-efficiency, and low-noise motor controlling into your application, according to Sanken. These products can run on a 3-shunt current detection system, and they optimally control the inverter systems of medium-capacity motors that require universal input standards. The drivers can be used to control fan motors for air conditioning and air purifiers, and they can be used to control stand-alone electric fans.

The motor drivers offer EEPROM as control parameter storage, and they provide two, speed control (PI Control) Modes; analog voltage control via the VSP Pin, and serial communication control (I2C compatible).
