TMC6100-LA

Overview

The TMC6100-LA is a high-power 3-phase gate driver designed to drive external N-channel MOSFETs in BLDC motor applications. It operates from a supply voltage of 8V to 60V and features an integrated charge pump to support 100 percent duty cycle operation. The device includes comprehensive diagnostics and protection features, such as programmable short-circuit and overload thresholds, accessible via an SPI interface.

Why Choose This Part

The IC offers high integration with a built-in charge pump and programmable Break-Before-Make logic to simplify controller requirements. Its double pin distance design improves reliability in high-voltage environments, while the SPI-based diagnostics provide real-time feedback on short-circuit and temperature conditions.

Applications

Getting Started

Start development using the TMC6100-EVAL evaluation board and the TMCL-IDE software to configure registers via SPI. Ensure proper thermal management of the QFN37 package and decoupling of the 8V to 60V supply line as per the datasheet layout guidelines.
