TIDA-00643
4.4 V to 30 V, 15 A, High Performance Brushless DC Drone Propeller Controller Reference Design
TIDA-00643
Overview
The TIDA-00643 reference design is a 4.4 to 30 V brushless DC motor controller for high power drones, quadcopter, propeller, fan, and pump applications. It uses the Texas Instrument’s DRV8305 brushless DC motor gate driver, CSD17573Q5B 30V NexFET power MOSFETs, TPD4E05U06 TVS protection IC, C2000 motor control MCU, and LMR16006 3.3 V buck converter. It utilizes InstaSPINTM-FOC for sensorless field oriented motor control and commands the motor speed through an external reference signal from a central controller. This design is focused on demonstrating a highly efficient and high power BLDC motor system.
Features
- 4.4 to 30 V input voltage range
- 15 A RMS, 23 A peak output current capability
- Ultra small form factor (L x W): 2.2" x 1.0"
- Onboard 3.3 V, 0.6 A buck converter
- Motor control through InstaSPIN-FOC sensorless field oriented control
- Wide array of system protection features included MOSFET overcurrent and supply undervoltage protection
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
