Data Sheet
26301.30
The A8925CEB is a DMOS three-phase brushless dc motor controller/driver designed for use in Winchester disk drives and other data
storage applications. The power output stages are capable of ±4 A
output currents and have DMOS power outputs with less than 0.25 Ω
r
for low power dissipation. Intrinsic ground clamp and flyback
DS(on)
diodes protect the output drivers when switching inductive loads.
Thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the device from excessive junction temperature.
A transconductance amplifier is used to linearly regulate the load
current and control motor speed. Internal current-sensing circuitry
eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Analog and digital
control circuitry provide complete sequencing of the output drivers as
well as providing brake, disable, and tachometer functions. A FAULT
output flag indicates the presence of an under-voltage condition on the
12 V supply, excessive junction temperature, or an invalid Hall input
combination. The A8925CEB’s commutation logic is compatible with
motors that have digital Hall-effect sensors with 120° of electrical
separation. Internal charge pump circuitry is provided to drive the N-

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.
— FOR REFERENCE ONLY
The A8925CEB is provided in a 44-lead PLCC power package for
surface-mount applications. The copper batwing provides for maximum allowable package power dissipation in the smallest possible
construction.
