Product details
Overview
AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 from Allegro MicroSystems is a 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver IC with integrated gate drivers, current-sense amplifiers, and PWM control logic. It supports 8–36 V supply, delivers up to 2 A RMS phase current, and features overcurrent, thermal shutdown, and undervoltage lockout protection. It is used in compact fan modules and small-appliance BLDC motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 datasheet, AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 pinout, AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 application, or AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 equivalent, key selection considerations include integrated current sensing accuracy (±5% gain error), 3-phase 120° commutation timing, and embedded fault reporting via nFAULT pin.
Technical Context
The AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 implements sensorless trapezoidal commutation using back-EMF zero-crossing detection and internal timing windows for phase switching. It integrates three half-bridge gate drivers with adaptive dead-time control and independent high-side/low-side drive enable inputs.
It embeds two bidirectional current-sense amplifiers (CSA) with 20 V/V fixed gain and rail-to-rail output, supporting inline shunt-based phase current monitoring. The device operates in closed-loop speed mode via analog voltage input (0–3.3 V) or open-loop torque mode via PWM duty cycle control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 V to 36 V - supports 12 V and 24 V industrial and appliance power rails without external regulators. |
| Continuous Phase Current | 2 A RMS - enables direct driving of small BLDC motors up to ~30 W mechanical output. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±5% gain error - allows reliable overcurrent detection and closed-loop current limiting without calibration. |
| Commuation Method | Sensorless trapezoidal - eliminates Hall sensor cost and PCB space; uses internal back-EMF detection circuitry. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C - protects internal MOSFETs and gate drivers during stall or overload conditions. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 40 °C/W - enables operation at full load in still-air environments with minimal heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 is housed in a 28-pin TSSOP package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for thermal dissipation in motor drive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | 8–36 V main supply for logic and gate drivers; bypass capacitor required. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for power, logic, and current-sense signals; connects to EP. |
| INH | Enable input | Active-high global enable; disables all outputs and internal logic when low. |
| nFAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low on overcurrent, overtemperature, or UVLO; requires external pull-up. |
| CSAOUT1 / CSAOUT2 | Current sense amplifier outputs | Rail-to-rail analog outputs for phase A/B shunt current monitoring; 20 V/V gain. |
| PHASE1–PHASE3 | Phase output terminals | Three half-bridge outputs driving motor windings; each includes HS/LS MOSFETs. |
| REFIN | Speed reference input | Analog voltage (0–3.3 V) sets target speed in closed-loop mode. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar BLDC motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STSPIN32F0B | Integrated Cortex-M0 MCU + 3-phase gate drivers; requires firmware development; no embedded current-sense amps. | Best for designs needing field-oriented control (FOC) or custom commutation algorithms. | Select STSPIN32F0B only if FOC implementation and software ownership are required. |
| DRV8313 | Standalone 3-phase gate driver (no current sense, no commutation logic); requires external MCU and CSAs. | Suitable for systems with existing motor control firmware and precision current measurement needs. | Choose DRV8313 when design already includes a capable MCU and higher-accuracy external current sensing. |
Compared with STSPIN32F0B and DRV8313, the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 provides fastest time-to-market for sensorless trapezoidal BLDC control by integrating commutation logic, gate drivers, and current sensing-reducing component count by ≥6 and eliminating firmware development.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous motor current supported by the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3?
The AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 supports up to 2 A RMS continuous phase current under typical PCB layout and ambient conditions (25 °C, 2-layer board, 1 in² copper pour). Derating applies above 70 °C ambient or with reduced copper area. Full 2 A operation is verified per Allegro's characterization data at θJA = 40 °C/W with the exposed pad soldered.
Does the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 require external Hall-effect sensors for commutation?
No, the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 implements fully integrated sensorless trapezoidal commutation using internal back-EMF zero-crossing detection circuitry. No external position sensors, timing resistors, or configuration registers are needed - startup and rotation are autonomous after power-on and INH assertion.
How is current sensing implemented in the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3?
The AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 integrates two matched bidirectional current-sense amplifiers (CSAOUT1 and CSAOUT2) with fixed 20 V/V gain and rail-to-rail output. Each monitors one motor phase via an inline shunt resistor (typically 10–50 mΩ), delivering analog voltage outputs directly usable by external ADCs or comparator circuits.
What protection features does the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 include?
The AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 includes overcurrent protection (OCP) triggered by CSA outputs, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) below 6.5 V. Fault conditions assert the open-drain nFAULT pin, and response mode (latched or auto-retry) is set by external resistor on the FAULTSEL pin.
Can the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 operate in both speed and torque control modes?
Yes, the AMT49101KJPTR-B-3 supports closed-loop speed control via analog voltage on REFIN (0–3.3 V) and open-loop torque control via PWM signal applied to the same pin. Mode selection is automatic: DC voltage enables speed regulation; PWM duty cycle modulates average phase voltage for torque scaling.
