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

Industrial BLDC Motor Drives
High-efficiency motor control for factory automation and conveyor systems requiring up to 60V operation.
Robotic Actuators
Precise control of brushless motors in robotic joints and mobile platforms using 3-line or 6-line drive modes.
Electric Mobility
Driving power stages for light electric vehicles, e-bikes, and scooters where diagnostic feedback is critical.
Pump and Fan Control
Reliable gate driving for high-speed pumps and cooling fans in industrial and telecommunications infrastructure.
