BD6360GUL-E2

Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) for motor drivers, controllers and gate drivers are components used to control the motion of motion control systems, such as regulated DC motors, brushless DC motors, and bi-directional motors. These PMICs are used in a variety applications, from robotics to consumer appliances, and from medical imaging to industrial automation. The BD6360GUL-E2 PMIC is a small-sized chip designed for a wide range of applications, covering both low voltage and high voltage applications for motor control, ranging from brushless DC motor applications to sole motor/dual motor applications.

Application field

The BD6360GUL-E2 offers excellent integration and performance for low voltage applications unlike previous devices. It provides an extremely efficient and reliable solution to motor control applications while maximizing ease of use. It offers multi-functional protection including OVP, SCP, OCP and UVLO. It is ideally suited for high voltage and low voltage applications, like AC servo motors, DC motor drivers (including 3-phase brushless DC motor drivers), robot arms, actuators, encoders, single-phase and two-phase stepper motors, as well as external switches.

Working Principle

The BD6360GUL-E2 integrates two high-efficiency power MOSFETs and offers a drive capability of up to 15A peak and a two-step current peak detection. It is a three-phase bidirectional power converter offering a variety of functions including an internal current sense resistor and overvoltage protection for unbalanced voltage inputs. The device has a fast over-current and short circuit protection as well as over-voltage protection. The control logic is designed to detect input voltage and output current, select appropriate phase switching sequence, and adjust the voltage gains. The BD6360GUL-E2 also supports manual phase shifting and ultrasonic detection.

In order to protect against over-current or short-circuit conditions, the BD6360GUL-E2 is designed with an internal Current Frequency Response (CFR) function that automatically adjusts the Gate drive time and current gain, which ensures the system remains safe even in the event of an overload condition. The CFR function also reduces heat generation due to the decreased turn-on time of the MOSFETs during low voltage, high power operation. The BD6360GUL-E2 also offers a variety of other protection functions, such as over-voltage protection for unbalanced voltage inputs and thermal shutdown for over temperature condition.

The BD6360GUL-E2 is an ideal solution for a diverse range of motor control applications, offering excellent performance, integration, reliability and ease of use. The device is well suited for a wide range of motors, from DC motors and brushless DC motors to single-phase and two-phase stepper motors. The device offers various protection and detection functions, enabling robust and reliable operation.
