Gleichmann Electronics is stocking the Elmos' E910.69 motor control IC with an evaluation board.
The device was designed for the operation of brushless motors as well as the full bridge and half bridge control of DC motors.
Up to three external NMOS half bridge applications can be controlled with the IC, whereby each of the three half bridges of the E910.69 is controlled by a separate logic input.
The driver outputs for control of six external n-channel power transistors are provided by PWM signals up to 20kHz. The external power transistors are protected against short circuit by adjustable thresholds and monitoring the drain-source voltage and protection against over-current by current measuring on external shunt resistors.
The slew rate of the Mosfet can be adjusted by programming the gate drive currents. Via a serial interface (SPI), which also serves for supply voltage monitoring, the drivers can be parameterized and diagnostic data can be read out.
Control of the high-side transistors takes place with help of a bootstrap circuit.
Operating voltage range is from 7 to 60V.
