Brushless DC motor drive circuitTDA5145
FEATURES
• Full-wave commutation (using push/pull drivers at the
output stages) without position sensors
• Built-in start-up circuitry
• Three push-pull outputs:
– output current 2.0 A (typ.)
– built-in current limiter
– soft-switching outputs for low Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI)
• Thermal protection
• Flyback diodes
• Tacho output without extra sensor
• Motor brake facility
• Direction control input
• Reset function
• Transconductance amplifier for an external control
transistor.
APPLICATIONS
• General purpose spindle driver e.g.:
– Hard disk drive
– Tape drive
– Optical disk drive.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA5145 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 includes bidirectional control, brake function and has a
special circuit built-in to reduce the EMI (soft switching
output stages).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA5145 offers a sensorless three phase motor drive
function. It is unique in its combination of sensorless motor
drive and full-wave drive. The TDA5145 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
TDA5145 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 (2.0 A).
• Outputs protected by current limiting and thermal
