Brushless DC motor drive circuitTDA5141
FEATURES
• Full-wave commutation (using push/pull drivers at the
output stages) without position sensors
• Built-in start-up circuitry
APPLICATIONS
• VCR
• Laser beam printer
• Fax machine.
• Three push-pull outputs:
– output current 1.9 A (typ.)
– low saturation voltage
– built-in current limiter
• Thermal protection
• Flyback diodes
• Tacho output without extra sensor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA5141 is a bipolar integrated circuit used to drive
3-phase brushless DC motors in full-wave mode. The
device is sensorless (saving of 3 hall-sensors) using the
back-EMF sensing technique to sense the rotor position. It
is ideally suited for applications requiring powerful output
stages (minimum current limit of 1.9 A).
• Position pulse stage for phase-locked-loop control
• Transconductance amplifier for an external control
transistor.

The TDA5141 offers a sensorless three phase motor drive function. It is unique in its combination of sensorless motor
drive and full-wave drive. The TDA5141 offers protected outputs capable of handling high currents and can be used with
star or delta connected motors. It can easily be adapted for different motors and applications. The TDA5141 offers the
following features:
• Sensorless commutation by using the motor EMF.
• Built-in start-up circuit.
• Optimum commutation, independent of motor type or motor loading.
• Built-in flyback diodes.
• Three phase full-wave drive.
• High output current (1.9 A).
• Outputs protected by current limiting and thermal protection of each output transistor.
• Low current consumption by adaptive base-drive.
• Accurate frequency generator (FG) by using the motor EMF.
• Amplifier for external position generator (PG) signal.
• Suitable for use with a wide tolerance, external PG sensor.
• Built-in multiplexer that combines the internal FG and external PG signals on one pin for easy use with a controlling
microprocessor.
• Uncommitted operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), with a high output current, for use as a control amplifier.
