The UC3620 is a br ushless DC motor driver capable of decoding and
driving al l 3 windings of a 3-phase br ushles s DC motor. In addition, an
on-board c urrent comp arator, oscillator, and high gain Op-Amp provide
all necessar y circuitr y for implementing a high performance, chopped
mode servo amplifier. Full protection, including thermal shutdown,
pulse-by-pulse current limiting, and under-voltage lockout aid in the
simple implementation of reliable designs. Both conducted and radiated
EMI have been grea tly redu ced by limi ting the output dv/dt to 150V /µs
for any load condition.
The UC1620SP is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, while the UC3620SP is characterized for 0°C to +70°C.

CURRENT SENSING
Referring to Figure 1, emitter current is sensed across R
and fed back through a low pass filter to the current
sense pin 7. This filter is required to eliminate false triggering of the monostable due to leading edge current
spikes. Actual filter values, although somewhat dependent on external loads, will generally be in the 1kΩ and
1000pF range.
TIMING
An R-C time constant on pin 9 is used by the monostable
to generate a fixed off time at the outputs according to the
formula:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The UC3620 is designed for implementation of a complete 3-∅ brushless DC servo drive using a minimum
number of external components. Below is a functional description of each major circuit feature.
DECODER
Table 1 shows the dec oding sc heme used in the UC3620
to decode and drive each of three high current totem pole
output sta ge s. A forward/reverse signal, pin 13, is used to
provide direc tion. At any point in time, one driver is sourcing, one dr iver is sin king, an d the rem aining driver is off
or tri-s tated. Pulse width modulation is acc omplished by
turning the sink driver off during the monostable reset
time, producing a fixed off-time chop mode. Controlled
output rise and fall times help reduce electrical switching
noise while maintaining re latively small switching loss es.

tive (-) input will limit peak current to a maximum value. A
fixed 0.5V internal clamp has been included on the
UC3620, and any current spike in the output which generates a sensed voltage greater than 0.5V will immediately shut down the outputs. Actual peak current values
may be programmed by selecting the appropriate value of

CURRENT LIMIT
Since peak current is being controlled at all times by the
internal comparator, a simple voltage clamp at its negative (-) input will limit peak current to a maximum value. A
fixed 0.5V internal clamp has been included on the
UC3620, and any current spike in the output which generates a sensed voltage greater than 0.5V will immediately
shut down the outputs. Actual peak current values may be

ERROR AMPLIFIER LIMIT
A high perfor mance, on-board e rror amplifier is included
to facilitate implementing closed loop motor control. Error
voltage generati on and loop compe nsation are easily accomplished by appropriately configuring the gain and
feedback of this amplifier . To provide a larger dynamic signal range at the output of the er ror amplifier, a divide by 5
resistor net work is used to reduce the error signal level
before applying to the internal comparator. In addition, a
one volt offset has been introduced at the output of the
error amplifier to guarantee control down to zero current
in the output stages. Since this offset is divided by the
open loop gain of the feedback loop, it has virtually no effect on closed loop performance.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
Protective functions including under-voltage lockout, peak
current limiting, and thermal shutdown, provide an extremely rugged device capable of surviving under many
types of fault conditions. Under-voltage lockout guarantees the out puts will be off or tri- slated until V
is suffi-
CC
cient for proper operation of the chip. Current limiting
limits the peak current for a stalled or shorted motor,
whereas thermal shutdown will tr i-state the outputs if a
temperature above 150°C is reached.
