Overview

The L6235PD is a DMOS fully integrated three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver that combines a control stage and a power stage in a single PowerSO36 package. It operates over a wide voltage range of 12V to 52V and can deliver a continuous output current of up to 2.8A. The device features an integrated decoding logic for Hall effect sensors and a constant off-time PWM current controller.

Why Choose This Part

The L6235PD eliminates the need for external power MOSFETs by integrating six DMOS transistors with a low Rds(on). It includes built-in protection features such as thermal shutdown, non-dissipative overcurrent protection, and undervoltage lockout, which enhances system reliability while reducing PCB footprint.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Driving BLDC motors in conveyor systems, small pumps, and fans requiring precise torque and speed control.
Robotic Actuators
Integrated power stage simplifies the design of multi-axis robotic joints and mobile platform drivetrains.
High-End Cooling Systems
Used in server and telecommunications infrastructure cooling where high-voltage 48V rails are common.

Getting Started

When designing with the L6235PD, ensure the exposed pad of the PowerSO36 package is soldered to a large copper area for effective heat dissipation. Reference the EVAL6235N or EVAL6235PD evaluation boards for layout best practices regarding the sensing resistors and bootstrap capacitors. Logic pins are compatible with standard microcontrollers, operating with input voltages up to 7V.
