Product details
Overview
DRV10975ZRHFR from Texas Instruments is a 12-V, three-phase, sensorless BLDC motor driver IC with integrated power MOSFETs, delivering 1.5-A continuous winding current and featuring a proprietary BEMF-based 180° sinusoidal commutation scheme for ultra-low acoustic noise. It includes an integrated buck/linear step-down regulator (configurable for 3.3 V or 5 V output), I²C interface, dedicated SPEED/DIR/FG pins, and operates in sleep mode with only 80 µA supply current - designed for appliance fan and HVAC blower applications.
For engineers reviewing the DRV10975ZRHFR datasheet, DRV10975ZRHFR pinout, DRV10975ZRHFR application, or DRV10975ZRHFR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin HTSSOP package with exposed thermal pad, 6.5–18 V input range, 250 mΩ total H+L rDS(on), UVLO/overcurrent/thermal protection, and flexible analog/PWM/speed control without external sense resistors.
Technical Context
The DRV10975ZRHFR implements a sensorless back-EMF estimation algorithm with configurable hysteresis (50 mV) to enable smooth 180° sinusoidal drive, minimizing torque ripple and audible noise. Its integrated charge pump (VCP/CPP/CPN) supports high-side gate drive across the full 6.5–18 V input range without external components.
It features dual regulation architecture: a hysteretic buck converter (47 µH inductor + 10 µF capacitor) for efficient 3.3 V/5 V output up to 100 mA, or linear-mode operation (39 Ω resistor + 10 µF capacitor) when external power delivery is unnecessary. Sleep mode disables the regulator entirely, reducing quiescent current to 80 µA.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pins 23, 24) | Power supply input | Primary 6.5–18 V supply for motor drive and internal circuitry; dual pins reduce IR drop and improve current sharing. |
| U/V/W (Pins 17–22) | Motor phase outputs | Three half-bridge outputs driving BLDC motor windings; each pair (U1/U2, V1/V2, W1/W2) paralleled for higher current capability. |
| PGND (Pins 15, 16) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for motor current; dual pins minimize ground bounce during switching transitions. |
| SPEED (Pin 13) | Speed command input | Accepts analog voltage (0.1–3.3 V) or PWM (1–100 kHz); internal 55 kΩ pulldown enables safe zero-speed default in sleep mode. |
| DIR (Pin 14) | Direction control input | Digital input (0 V = CW, >2.2 V = CCW); level-shifted to tolerate 3.3 V logic even with 12 V VCC supply. |
| FG (Pin 12) | Tachometer feedback output | Open-drain pulse output (5 mA sink capability) with frequency proportional to motor RPM; compatible with standard microcontroller counters. |
| SCL/SDA (Pins 10, 11) | I²C communication interface | Standard 400 kHz I²C bus for real-time register access, EEPROM programming, and diagnostic readback of BEMF/current/voltage data. |
| VREG (Pin 6) | Step-down regulator output | Feedback node for buck regulator; sets 5 V (VregSel=0) or 3.3 V (VregSel=1); supplies internal circuits and optional external loads ≤100 mA. |
| V3P3 (Pin 9) | 3.3 V LDO output | Stable 3.3 V supply (±0.3 V) capable of sourcing up to 5 mA; intended for external logic or sensors requiring clean low-noise rail. |
| V1P8 (Pin 7) | 1.8 V digital core supply | Internally generated 1.8 V rail for logic core; not rated for external loading - capacitor must connect directly to GND. |
| VCP/CPP/CPN (Pins 1, 2, 3) | Charge pump network | Supports high-side gate drive across full input range; requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors between CPN–CPP and CPP–VCP. |
| SW (Pin 4) | Buck switch node | Connection point for external inductor (buck mode) or resistor (linear mode); switching frequency ~1 MHz. |
| SWGND (Pin 5) | Buck regulator ground | Dedicated ground return for buck converter; separate from PGND/GND to isolate switching noise from motor and digital grounds. |
| GND (Pin 8) | Digital/analog reference | Common reference for I²C, SPEED, DIR, FG; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal and electrical ground | Exposed copper pad beneath package - must be soldered to PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias for reliable thermal performance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous motor current supported by the DRV10975ZRHFR?
The DRV10975ZRHFR supports 1.5-A continuous winding current at TA = 25°C with proper PCB thermal design. This rating assumes use of the exposed thermal pad with ≥4 vias to inner ground planes and operation within the recommended 6.5–18 V input range. Peak current capability is 2 A for short durations, but sustained operation above 1.5 A requires derating based on ambient temperature and board thermal resistance.
Does the DRV10975ZRHFR require an external current sense resistor?
No, the DRV10975ZRHFR does not require an external current sense resistor. It implements integrated current sensing for overcurrent protection and diagnostic feedback. However, the device provides optional support for an external sense resistor if precise power monitoring or custom current limiting is needed - this is enabled via register configuration and does not affect baseline operation.
How does the sleep mode of the DRV10975ZRHFR differ from standby mode in the DRV10975RHFR?
Sleep mode in the DRV10975ZRHFR shuts down the internal step-down regulator and digital core, reducing supply current to 80 µA. In contrast, standby mode in the DRV10975RHFR keeps the regulator active (4.5 mA supply current) to maintain power to external circuitry. The DRV10975ZRHFR exits sleep mode in 1 µs upon valid SPEED input, while retaining EEPROM-configured parameters across sleep cycles.
Can the DRV10975ZRHFR drive a motor directly from a 24-V supply?
No, the DRV10975ZRHFR is rated for absolute maximum VCC of 23 V and recommended operating range of 6.5–18 V. Applying 24 V exceeds both specifications and risks permanent damage. For 24-V systems, TI recommends the pin-compatible DRV10983ZRR (rated 6–28 V) or external pre-regulation to 12 V before the DRV10975ZRHFR input.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the DRV10975ZRHFR?
The DRV10975ZRHFR uses the 24-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (7.80 mm × 6.40 mm). Its thermal metrics include RθJA = 36.1 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) and RθJB = 14.8 °C/W (junction-to-board), requiring soldering of the thermal pad to a solid ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias for reliable operation at full 1.5-A load in 70°C ambient.
