Sensorless BLDC motor controller IC (genII) - MLX81205-06-07-08
Product description
The MLX81205-06-07-08 are members of a highly integrated 3-phase motor controller IC family for 12V automotive applications. The family includes versions in different pin counts and packages. It follows the Melexis high integration concept by putting a 16-bit-Flash-Microcontroller, voltage regulator, LIN-protocol, Power-FET-Gate-Driver and several blocks for BLDC motor operation in one single IC.
The chip family supports sensorless and sensor based BLDC motor operation. And it addresses mainly permanent running BLDC motors that can be found in pumps, blowers and fans, but also positioning BLDC actuators can be supported. Additionally, this family follows the TruSense sensorless BLDC motor control technology.
TruSense technology
The TruSense technology combines reluctance measurements with back electro-motive force (BEMF) sensing, yielding highly accurate rotor position information in a very wide dynamic range and under heavily changing loads. Because of that, also very demanding applications operating under unknown torque as transmission oil pumps can be controlled in a sensorless way.
The PWM driving scheme might be adapted to any motor current shape, achieving the best possible efficiency, low torque ripple and minimal conducted and radiated emissions.
TruSense also allows a very fast motor start-up as well as operation at very low speeds. TruSense supports block mode commutation, trapezoidal and sinusoidal motor currents and achieves a low noise performance.
