Product details
Overview
TPIC43T01DAR from Texas Instruments is a monolithic three-phase brushless DC motor RPM controller IC with integrated PLL-based speed regulation, EEPROM-programmable DSP loop compensation, and six-channel gate drive outputs for external N-channel FETs in half-H configuration. It supports 8–28 V supply, delivers 5 V/10 mA regulated output, and enables synchronous rectification (enabled by default). It is used in precision industrial blowers, HVAC fan modules, and closed-loop spindle drives requiring ±5% RPM lock accuracy.
For engineers reviewing the TPIC43T01DAR datasheet, TPIC43T01DAR pinout, TPIC43T01DAR application, or TPIC43T01DAR equivalent, key selection considerations include its standalone operation (no host processor), differential Hall/VR sensor interface support, charge-pump high-side gate drive capability, EEPROM-adjustable PLL gain and filter coefficients, and built-in stalled-motor shutdown with ±5% lock detection window.
Technical Context
The TPIC43T01DAR implements a digital signal processing control loop centered on an 8-bit PWM generator clocked by a 5.8 MHz internal oscillator (divided to ~22.7 kHz PWM frequency), with sampling synchronized to an external RT/CT oscillator. Its phase-locked loop compares FGSOUT (digitized variable-reluctance speed signal) against an EEPROM-configurable FG reference frequency derived from a 5–10 MHz crystal or external OSC1 input.
Commutation logic decodes three differential Hall inputs using gray-code sequencing, with forward/reverse direction controlled by the F/R pin and coast mode triggered automatically when speed exceeds f(ref) by >5%. Synchronous rectification is enabled by default (EEPROM addr 0, bit 3 = H), allowing complementary LGx turn-on during UGx off-time to reduce conduction loss in the low-side FET body diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 8 V to 28 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulators. |
| PWM Frequency | 22.7 kHz (typ) - minimizes audible noise while enabling efficient switching of external N-FETs. |
| RPM Lock Accuracy | ±5% window - enables precise closed-loop speed regulation for constant-RPM applications. |
| Gate Drive Outputs | Six pre-drive channels (UGA/LGA, UGB/LGB, UGC/LGC) - directly interfaces with discrete N-channel FETs in 3-half-H topology. |
| Charge Pump Output | VCP = VCC + 14 to VCC + 17 V (typ) - generates sufficient gate voltage to fully enhance high-side N-FETs. |
| 5 V Regulator Output | 5.0 V ±2.5%, 10 mA - powers external logic or sensors without auxiliary LDO. |
| Crystal Oscillator Range | 5 MHz to 10 MHz - sets base timebase for PLL; four EEPROM-selectable divide ratios support flexible RPM reference tuning. |
Pinout & Package
TPIC43T01DAR is housed in a 38-pin DA package (small-outline surface-mount), with thermal pad exposed on underside for enhanced power dissipation in motor drive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UGA, UGB, UGC | Upper gate drive outputs | Drive gates of high-side N-FETs; require charge-pump voltage (VCP) for full enhancement. |
| LGA, LGB, LGC | Lower gate drive outputs | Drive gates of low-side N-FETs; referenced to PGND for accurate turn-off timing. |
| IN1+/IN1−, IN2+/IN2−, IN3+/IN3− | Differential Hall position inputs | Accept low-level signals from naked Hall elements; provide ±7 mV threshold with hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| FGIN+/FGIN−, FGSOUT | Variable-reluctance speed sensor interface | Amplify and digitize sinusoidal FG pickup signal; FGSOUT feeds PLL for RPM feedback. |
| SENSE | High-side current limit sense input | Monitors motor phase current via external shunt; triggers deglitch-blanked shutdown at 0.5 V threshold. |
| VCC, VDD, GND, PGND | Power and ground terminals | VCC = main 8–28 V supply; VDD = regulated 5 V output; PGND separates power-switching return from logic ground. |
| OSC1, OSC2, CT, RT, CLT | Oscillator and timing network connections | Support crystal-based FG reference (OSC1/OSC2), digital filter sampling (RT/CT), and lock timer (RT/CLT). |
| F/R, S/S, FSEL, LD | Digital control and status I/O | F/R sets rotation direction; S/S starts/stops motor; FSEL toggles FG reference divide-by-2; LD is open-drain lock detect flag. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| EEPROM-programmable loop parameters | Allows field-tuning of PLL gain and DSP filter coefficients (pole/zero) to match specific motor inertia and load dynamics. |
| Synchronous rectification (enabled) | Reduces power loss during PWM off-time by turning on complementary low-side FET instead of relying on body diode conduction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar three-phase BLDC motor control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPIC43T02DAR | Synchronous rectification disabled by default (EEPROM addr 0, bit 3 = L); identical pinout, timing, and protection features. | Preferred where body-diode conduction is acceptable or where external synchronous rectification control is implemented separately. | Select TPIC43T02DAR only if synchronous rectification is undesirable - otherwise TPIC43T01DAR provides higher efficiency out-of-box. |
| STSPIN32F0B | Integrated 3-phase gate driver + ARM Cortex-M0 MCU; requires firmware development; no EEPROM-based loop tuning; operates from 6–45 V. | Used when programmable motion profiles, field-oriented control (FOC), or communication interfaces (UART/SPI) are required. | Choose STSPIN32F0B only when advanced control algorithms or host connectivity are needed - TPIC43T01DAR offers simpler, deterministic analog-digital hybrid control. |
Compared with TPIC43T02DAR, TPIC43T01DAR delivers immediate efficiency gains via enabled synchronous rectification; compared with STSPIN32F0B, it eliminates firmware dependency and reduces design cycle time for fixed-RPM applications requiring robust analog-loop stability.

FAQ
What is the default synchronous rectification setting for TPIC43T01DAR?
The TPIC43T01DAR has synchronous rectification enabled by default (EEPROM address 0, bit 3 = H). This allows complementary low-side FET turn-on during high-side PWM off-time, reducing conduction losses versus body-diode recirculation. The feature can be disabled via EEPROM reprogramming if required for specific motor winding characteristics or layout constraints.
Does TPIC43T01DAR require an external microcontroller to operate?
No - the TPIC43T01DAR is a standalone motor controller. It integrates all necessary functions including PLL-based RPM regulation, Hall/VR sensor signal conditioning, commutation logic, 8-bit PWM generation, gate drive pre-drivers, and fault protection. No host processor, firmware, or external timing components beyond crystal/resistors/capacitors are needed for basic operation.
How does TPIC43T01DAR achieve ±5% RPM lock accuracy?
The TPIC43T01DAR achieves ±5% RPM lock accuracy through its dedicated lock-detect circuit, which continuously compares the digitized FGSOUT frequency (from variable-reluctance sensor) against an EEPROM-configurable FG reference frequency. When deviation exceeds ±5%, the LD pin asserts low and - if sustained - triggers the stalled-motor timer and shutdown sequence.
What is the purpose of the VCP, CP1, and CP2 pins on TPIC43T01DAR?
VCP is the charge-pump output voltage node (VCC + 14–17 V), while CP1 and CP2 are switched-capacitor outputs that generate the boosted voltage. Together, they enable full enhancement of external high-side N-channel FETs in the 3-half-H bridge - eliminating need for bootstrap circuits or isolated supplies in high-voltage motor drive stages.
Can TPIC43T01DAR support both Hall-effect and variable-reluctance sensors simultaneously?
Yes - TPIC43T01DAR provides separate, dedicated interfaces: three differential pairs (IN1±, IN2±, IN3±) for Hall-effect position sensing and FGIN±/FGSOUT for variable-reluctance speed sensing. Both operate concurrently, with Hall inputs driving commutation logic and VR input feeding the PLL speed regulation loop - enabling precise electronic commutation and closed-loop RPM control in one device.
