TIDA-00735 Reference Design

Texas Instruments

Brushless DC Propeller Controller Reference Design

Description

The TIDA-00735 reference design is a 10.8V to 25.2V brushless DC motor controller for high power propeller: fan: and pump applications. It uses the Texas Instruments' DRV8303 brushless DC motor gate driver: CSD17573Q5B 30V NexFET™ power MOSFETs: MSP430 16-bit low power MCU: and TPS70933 30V ultra-low IQ LDO. It controls motor with trapezoidal sensor-less control algorithm and commands the motor speed through an external reference signal from a central controller. This design is focused on demonstrating a highly efficient and high power BLDC motor system.

Features
