Product details
Overview
MP6651GD-0000-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a single-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver IC with integrated Hall-effect sensor, dual power MOSFETs, and configurable commutation logic. It operates from 3.3V to 18V input, delivers 2A continuous output in QFN-10 package, supports 2kHz–100kHz PWM speed control, and provides rotor lock detection via open-drain FG/RD pin - used in high-reliability CPU cooling fan modules.
For engineers reviewing the MP6651GD-0000-Z datasheet, MP6651GD-0000-Z pinout, MP6651GD-0000-Z application, or MP6651GD-0000-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include Hall offset angle configurability (±45°), soft-on/off commutation angle tuning (up to 45°), cycle-by-cycle OCP thresholds (1A–4A), thermal shutdown recovery behavior, and FG/RD dual-mode functionality (speed indication vs. rotor lock flag).
Technical Context
The MP6651GD-0000-Z implements closed-loop BLDC commutation using an on-die Hall sensor whose signal is phase-shifted via programmable HAL_ANG registers (three ranges mapped to PWM duty bands), enabling independent low- and high-speed torque optimization. Its H-bridge drives OUT1/OUT2 with fixed 27kHz switching frequency and configurable soft-start timing (2.4s–19.2s).
Control logic includes register-mapped parameters for DIN_MIN/DO_MIN (start/output duty), SPD_ZERO (zero-speed mode), LOCK_SEL (rotor lock retry interval), and FGRD_SEL (FG/RD functional mode). All configuration is stored in OTP memory with two-program capability, and digital oscillator frequency (SPD_SEL) sets minimum achievable RPM (100–1600rpm).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3V to 18V - supports wide-input 12V fan rails including transient overvoltage conditions up to 24V absolute max. |
| Continuous Output Current | 2A - rated for QFN-10 package at TA = 25°C; derates per θJA = 65°C/W to ~1.4A at 85°C ambient. |
| Switching Frequency | 27kHz - fixed internal oscillator frequency set by 20kΩ OSC-to-GND resistor; enables EMI-controlled fan drive. |
| PWM Input Range | 2kHz to 100kHz - compatible with standard microcontroller PWM peripherals without external prescaling. |
| Hall Offset Angle Range | ±45° - configurable in three PWM-duty-dependent zones (HAL_ANG1/2/3) to optimize commutation timing across full speed range. |
| Soft-On/Off Angle | Up to 45° - adjustable via SON_ANG/SOFF_ANG registers (1.4° resolution) to reduce acoustic noise and mechanical stress during transitions. |
| OCP Threshold Options | 1A / 2A / 3A / 4A - selected by OCP_SEL bits; enables precise current limiting matched to motor winding resistance and thermal margin. |
| Rotor Lock Detection | 0.6s timeout - triggers automatic LS-FET activation and recovery after LOCK_SEL-configured retry delay (3.6s–8.4s). |
Pinout & Package
MP6651GD-0000-Z uses a 2mm × 3mm, 10-pin QFN package with exposed thermal pad (RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 1). Pin 1 is marked by dot; pins 4 and 5 are internally connected GND terminals for enhanced thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FG/RD) | Open-drain status output | Selectable as tachometer (FG) pulse output (1x/1/2x/2/3x/2x Hall frequency) or active-high/low rotor lock flag (RD) per FGRD_SEL and RD_H_L registers. |
| 2 (PWM) | Digital speed command input | Accepts 2kHz–100kHz PWM signal; internal 190kΩ pull-up enables single-wire interface; duty cycle directly maps to motor speed reference. |
| 3 (OUT1) | H-bridge high-side output | Drives one motor terminal; sinks current when Hall signal is low; complements OUT2 in push-pull commutation sequence. |
| 4,5 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Dual GND pins reduce impedance path for high di/dt switching currents and improve Hall sensor noise immunity. |
| 6 (VCC) | Supply input | 3.3V–18V input with UVLO (3.3V rising) and OVP (19V rising); internal LDO powers logic and Hall circuitry. |
| 7 (TST) | Factory test interface | Must be tied to GND in normal operation; used during OTP programming and register read/write in test mode. |
| 8 (OSC) | Oscillator timing node | Requires 20kΩ ±1% resistor to GND to set 27kHz fSW; deviation alters timing accuracy and speed regulation linearity. |
| 9 (OUT2) | H-bridge low-side output | Drives complementary motor terminal; sinks current when Hall signal is high; synchronized with OUT1 for 180° commutation. |
| 10 (GND) | Thermal pad connection | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB copper pour for θJC = 12°C/W thermal path and 1.9W power dissipation capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Hall sensor with offset compensation | Three-zone programmable Hall angle (±45°) enables optimized torque delivery at both stall and full speed without external sensor alignment. |
| Configurable soft commutation | Independent soft-on (SON_ANG) and soft-off (SOFF_ANG) angles up to 45° reduce audible noise and mechanical jerk during startup/shutdown. |
| Dual-mode FG/RD pin | Single pin serves as either tachometer feedback (FG) or rotor lock fault indicator (RD), reducing system BOM count and PCB routing complexity. |
| OTP-based configuration storage | Two-time programmable memory retains DIN_MIN, DO_MIN, TIME_SS, OCP_SEL, and SPD_ZERO settings across power cycles - eliminates external EEPROM. |
| Auto-recovering protections | OVP, UVLO, thermal shutdown, and locked rotor all resume normal operation after fault clearance - no manual reset required in fan applications. |
| Pre-startup duty slope control | DUTY_SLOPE[1:0] selects 1.2ms–9.3ms ramp time before PWM takeover, limiting inrush current during cold start of high-inertia fans. |

FAQ
What is the function of the TST pin on MP6651GD-0000-Z?
The TST (Test) pin must be connected to GND in normal operation. It enables factory test mode for OTP programming and register read/write access. Leaving TST floating or applying voltage may cause undefined behavior or prevent startup. No external circuitry is required - direct GND tie-down is mandatory per datasheet Section 5.
Can MP6651GD-0000-Z drive a 24V fan?
No - MP6651GD-0000-Z has a maximum recommended operating input voltage of 18V and absolute maximum VCC rating of 24V. Applying 24V continuously exceeds its UVLO and OVP thresholds (19V rising), risking latch-up or premature OVP shutdown. For 24V fans, use MPQ6651-AEC1 (automotive-grade, 36V-rated) or redesign with external step-down.
How does the Hall offset angle improve motor performance?
The Hall offset angle adjusts the phase relationship between the Hall sensor output and MOSFET switching timing. By shifting the commutation point forward (leading) or backward (lagging) up to ±45°, it compensates for magnetic lag, winding inductance, and back-EMF timing - increasing torque at low speeds and reducing torque ripple at high speeds without mechanical sensor repositioning.
Is the FG/RD pin truly open-drain, and what pull-up value is recommended?
Yes - FG/RD is a true open-drain output with 0.19V max low-level voltage at 1mA sink. A 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up to VCC is recommended for clean edge integrity and noise immunity. Values below 2.2kΩ increase power consumption unnecessarily; above 47kΩ risk slow rise times and false FG pulse misses at high RPM.
What determines the soft-start time, and how is it configured?
Soft-start time (2.4s to 19.2s) is set by the TIME_SS[2:0] bits in REG06h and controls the duration for the output duty cycle to ramp from 0% to 100% at power-on. Default value 010 yields 7.2s. Configuration is stored in OTP memory and requires MPS Fan Driver GUI software or compatible programmer - not runtime-modifiable.
Does MP6651GD-0000-Z support reverse rotation?
No - MP6651GD-0000-Z implements unidirectional Hall-based commutation only. The internal logic sequences OUT1/OUT2 based on Hall polarity transitions and does not provide direction reversal logic or external DIR pin. Reverse rotation requires external hardware inversion or a bidirectional driver like MP6550.
What is the thermal performance difference between SOIC-8 SL and QFN-10 packages?
QFN-10 offers θJA = 65°C/W vs. SOIC-8 SL's 96°C/W - a 32% improvement in junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. At 2A load, QFN-10 maintains ~15°C lower die temperature, enabling full 2A continuous operation up to 85°C ambient; SOIC-8 SL is limited to 1.5A continuous above 60°C ambient per derating curves.
