The TPD4162F, with its rated power supply voltage (VBB) of 600V, can be used for any applications with input signals in the range 200 to 220VAC.
The IC contains a PWM circuit, 3-phase decoder, level shifting high-side driver and low side driver with embedded IGBTs and FRDs. This allows direct drive of brushless DC (BLDC) motors with square wave input signals from a Hall sensor or Hall IC without the requirement for a PWM controller IC.
Based upon a new process, the TPD4162F offers reduced power dissipation of approximately 10% compared its predecessor (TPD4152F), reducing the power dissipation of motor drivers.
Multiple protection features including current limit, over current protection (OCP), thermal shutdown and under-voltage lockout (UVLO) are built in thereby reducing the need for peripheral circuits. This, along with the small HSSOP31 surface mount package with a 17.5 x 11.9mm footprint and 2.2mm height, allows for compact designs including the ability to mount the driver circuitry directly to the motor.
