Description
The HIP4011 motor driver is intended for three phase Brushless motor control at continuous output currents up to 3A. It accepts inputs from buffered Hall effect sensors and drives three motor windings, regulating the current through an external current sensing resistor, according to an analog control input. Output “freewheeling” diodes are built in and output dv/dt is limited to decrease the generated EMI. Thermal and current limiting are used to protect the device from locked rotor conditions. A brake control input forces all outputs to ground simultaneously to provide dynamic braking, and an internal voltage sensor does the same when the supply drops below a predetermined switch point. Power down braking energy is stored in an external capacitor.
