† Fault conditions that produce excessive junction
temperature will activate device thermal shutdown
circuitry. These conditions can be tolerated, but
should be avoided.

Output current rating may be restricted to a value
determined by system concerns and factors.
These include: system duty cycle and timing,
ambient temperature, and use of any heatsinking
and/or forced cooling. For reliable operation, the
specified maximum junction temperature should
not be exceeded.

The A8906CLB is a bidirectional three-phase brushless dc motor
controller/driver. The three half-bridge outputs are low on-resistance n­channel DMOS devices capable of driving up to 1 A. The A8906CLB
provides complete, reliable, self-contained back-EMF sensing motor
startup and running algorithms. A programmable digital frequency­locked loop speed control circuit together with the linear current control
circuitry provides precise motor speed regulation.

A serial port allows the user to program various features and
modes of operation, such as the speed control parameters, rotational
direction, startup current limit, sleep mode, diagnostic modes, and
others.

The A8906CLB is fabricated in Allegro’s BCD (Bipolar CMOS
DMOS) process, an advanced mixed-signal technology that combines
bipolar, analog and digital CMOS, and DMOS power devices. The
A8906CLB is provided in a 24-lead wide-body SOIC batwing package.
It provides for the smallest possible construction in surface-mount
applications.
