Description
The MCP8063 device is a highly integrated 3-phase,
full-wave sensorless driver for brushless motors. It
features a 180° sinusoidal drive, high torque output,
and silent drive. Its integrated features and the wide
power supply range (2V to 14V) make the MCP8063 an
ideal candidate for a broad range of motor
characteristics, requiring no external tuning. Speed
control can be achieved through either power supply
modulation (PSM) or pulse-width modulation (PWM).
Due to the compact packaging and minimum bill of
materials (power transistors integrated, no Hall sensor,
no external tuning), the MCP8063 is optimized for fan
applications that require high efficiency and low
acoustic noise at competitive costs. Frequency
generator output enables precision speed control in
closed-loop applications. The MCP8063 driver
includes a Lock-Up Protection mode, which turns off
the output current when the motor is under lock
condition, and an automatic recovery that enables the
fan to restart when the lock condition is removed.
Features such as motor overcurrent limitation and
thermal shutdown protection improve motor system
reliability without additional efforts from design
engineers.
The MCP8063 is available in a compact
thermally-enhanced 8-lead 4 mm x 4 mm DFN
package with exposed pad.

4.0FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MCP8063 device generates a full-wave signal to
drive a 3-phase sensorless BLDC motor. High
efficiency and low power consumption are achieved
due to DMOS transistors and synchronous rectification
drive type. The current carrying order of the output is as
follows: OUT1 OUT2 OUT3.
4.1Speed Control
The rotational speed of the motor can be controlled
either through the PWM digital input signal or by
varying the power supply (V
is “High” (or left open), the motor rotates at full speed.
When the PWM signal is “Low”, the motor is stopped
(and the driver outputs are set to high impedance). By
changing the PWM duty cycle, the speed can be
adjusted. Notice that the PWM frequency has no
special meaning for the motor speed and is
asynchronous with the activation of the output
transistors. Thus, the user has maximum freedom to
choose the PWM system frequency within a wide range
(from 20 Hz to 100 kHz), while the output transistor
activation always occurs at a fixed rate, which is
outside the range of audible frequencies. The typical
output frequency of MCP8063 is 23 kHz.
4.2Frequency Generator Function
The Frequency Generator output is a “Hall-sensor
equivalent” digital output, giving information to an
external controller about the speed and phase of the
motor. The FG pin is an open-drain output, connecting
to a logical voltage level through an external pull-up
resistor. When a lock (or out-of-sync) situation is
detected by the driver, this output is set to high
impedance until the motor is restarted. Leave the pin
open when not used. The FG signal can be used to
compute the motor speed in rotations per minute
(RPM). Typically, for a four-pole BLDC fan (4P/6S), the
speed in RPMs is 30 x FG frequency (Hz).
). When the PWM signal
DD
4.3Lock-Up Protection and Automatic
Restart
If the motor is stopped (blocked) or if it loses
synchronization with the driver, a lock-up protection
circuit detects this situation and ties the outputs to GND
in order to dissipate the remaining energy from the
rotor with a minimum of self heating. After a “waiting
time” (T

4.4Overcurrent Limitation
The motor peak current is limited by the driver to a fixed
value (defined internally), thus limiting the maximum
power dissipation in the coils.
4.5Thermal Shutdown
The MCP8063 device has a thermal protection function
which detects when the die temperature exceeds
TSD= +170°C. When this temperature is reached, the
circuit enters Thermal Shutdown mode and the outputs
OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 are tied to GND in order to
dissipate the remaining energy from the rotor with a
minimum of self-heating. Once the junction
