The UC3625 family of motor controller ICs integrate most of the
functions required for high-performance brushless DC motor con
trol into one package.When coupled with external power
MOSFETs or Darlingtons, these ICs perform fixed-frequency PWM
motor control in either voltage or current mode while implementing
closed loop speed control and braking with smart noise rejection,
safe direction reversal, and cross–conduction protection.
Although specified for operation from power supplies between 10V
and 18V, the UC1625 can control higher voltage power devices
with external level-shifting components. The UC1625 contains fast,
high-current push-pull drivers for low-side power devices and 50V
open-collector outputs for high-side power devices or level shifting
circuitry.
The UC1625 is characterized for operation over the military tem
perature range of –55°C to +125°C, while the UC2625 is charac
terized from –40°C to +105°C and the UC3625 is characterized
from 0°C to 70°C.
Dir, Speed-In: The position decoder logic translates the
Hall signals and the Dir signal to the correct driver sig
nals (PUs and PDs). To prevent output stage damage,
the signal on Dir is first loaded into a direction latch,
then shifted through a two-bit register.
H1, H2, H3: The three shaft-position sensor inputs con
sist of hysteresis comparators with input pull-up resis
tors. Logic thresholds meet TTL specifications and can
be driven by 5V CMOS, 12V CMOS, NMOS, or
open-collectors.

As long as Speed-In is less than 250mV, the direction
latch is transparent. When Speed-In is higher than
250mV, the direction latch inhibits all changes in direc
tion. Speed-In can be connected to Tach-Out through a
filter, so that the direction latch is only transparent when
the motor is spinning slowly, and has too little stored en
ergy to damage power devices.
Additional circuitry detects when the input and output of
the direction latch are different, or when the input and
output of the shift register are different, and inhibits all
output drives during that time. This can be used to allow
the motor to coast to a safe speed before reversing.
The shift register guarantees that direction can't be
changed instantaneously. The register is clocked by the
PWM oscillator, so the delay between direction changes
is always going to be between one and two oscillator periods. At 40kHz, this corresponds to a delay of between
25µs and 50µs. Regardless of output stage, 25µs dead
time should be adequate to guarantee no overlap
cross-conduction. Toggling DIR will cause an output
pulse on Tach-Out regardless of motor speed.
E/A In(+), E/A In(–), E/A Out, PWM In: E/A In(+) and
E/A In(–) are not internally committed to allow for a wide
variety of uses. They can be connected to the I
SENSE
,to
Tach-Out through a filter, to an external command volt
age, to a D/A converter for computer control, or to an
other op amp for more elegant feedback loops. The
error amplifier is compensated for unity gain stability, so
E/A Out can be tied to E/A In(–) for feedback and major
loop compensation.
E/A Out and PWM In drive the PWM comparator. For
voltage-mode PWM systems, PWM In can be connected
to RC-Osc. The PWM comparator clears the PWM latch,
commanding the outputs to chop.
The error amplifier can be biased off by connecting E/A
In(–) to a higher voltage than E/A In(+). When biased
off, E/A Out will appear to the application as a resistor to
ground. E/A Out can then be driven by an external am
plifier.
GND: All thresholds and outputs are referred to the
GND pin except for the PD and PU outputs.
Connect these inputs to motor shaft position sensors
that are positioned 120 electrical degrees apart. If noisy

signals are expected, zener clamp and filter these inputs
with 6V zeners and an RC filter. Suggested filtering
components are 1kΩ and 2nF. Edge skew in the filter is
-
not a problem, because sensors normally generate
modified Gray code with only one output changing at a
time, but rise and fall times must be shorter than 20µs
for correct tachometer operation.
Motors with 60 electrical degree position sensor coding
can be used if one or two of the position sensor signals
is inverted.
