Description
The MTD6508 device is a 3-phase, full-wave
sensorless driver for brushless DC (BLDC) motors. It
features a 180° sinusoidal drive, high torque output and
silent drive. With adaptive features, parameters and a
wide range of power supplies (2V to 5.5V), the
MTD6508 is intended to cover a broad range of motor
characteristics while requiring minimum external
components. Speed control can be achieved through
either power supply modulation (PSM) or pulse-width
modulation (PWM).
Compact packaging and a minimal bill of materials
make the MTD6508 device extremely cost-efficient in
fan applications. For example, the CPU cooling fans in
notebook computers require designs that provide low
acoustic noise, low mechanical vibration and are highly
efficient. The frequency generator (FG) output enables
precision speed control in closed-loop applications.
The MTD6508 device includes Lock-up Protection
mode to turn off the output current when the motor is in
a lock condition, with an automatic recovery feature to
restart the fan when the lock condition is removed.
Motor overcurrent limitation and thermal shutdown
protection are included for safety-enhanced operations.
The MTD6508 is available in compact, thermally-
enhanced, 10-Lead 3 mm x 3 mm x 0.5 mm UDFN
packages and 16-Lead 4 mm x 4 mm x 0.5 mm
UQFN packages.
Applications
• Notebook CPU Cooling Fans
• 5V 3-Phase BLDC Motors
