Product details
Overview
UC2625DWTR from Texas Instruments is a brushless DC motor controller IC designed for closed-loop voltage- or current-mode PWM motor control in industrial and embedded motion systems. It integrates high-side (50-V open-collector) and low-side (push-pull) gate drivers, a high-speed current-sense amplifier with ideal diode, latched soft-start, tachometer output, and programmable cross-conduction protection. It operates across –40°C to +105°C and supports two- or four-quadrant operation for bidirectional control and braking.
For engineers reviewing the UC2625DWTR datasheet, UC2625DWTR pinout, UC2625DWTR application, or UC2625DWTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 40–60 kHz oscillator frequency range, ±0.2 V peak-current threshold, 5 V trimmed reference, 2.5 V level-shifted current sense input, and SOIC-28 package compatibility with Hall-effect sensor interfacing and external MOSFET/Darlington power stages.
Technical Context
The UC2625DWTR implements fixed-frequency PWM control using an internal RC oscillator (RC-OSC pin), with programmable frequency via ROSC and COSC. Its position decoder accepts three 120°-spaced Hall sensor inputs (H1–H3) and translates them into six-phase drive signals (PUA/PUB/PUC and PDA/PDB/PDC) with built-in direction latch and shift register for safe reversal.
It features dual current sensing: pulse-by-pulse via ISENSE1/ISENSE2 differential inputs (gain ≈2, level shift ≈2.5 V), and average current sensing enabled in four-quadrant mode. Over-voltage, under-voltage, and over-current protections are hardware-latched, and RC-BRAKE enables controlled braking by forcing all low-side drivers active while disabling high-side outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 40–60 kHz typical; sets PWM timing base and commutation rate via ROSC/COSC network. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +105°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded motor control applications. |
| Reference Voltage | 4.9–5.1 V at VREF; supplies stable 5 V for Hall sensors and external circuitry with ≤30 mA load. |
| Peak Current Threshold | 0.14–0.26 V at ISENSE; triggers pulse-by-pulse current limiting to protect windings and power devices. |
| High-Side Driver Voltage | 50 V max open-collector rating; drives P-channel MOSFETs or Darlingtons directly or via level-shifting circuits. |
| Low-Side Driver Output | 0.5 A peak push-pull capability; actively pulls high to turn on N-channel low-side switches. |
| Tachometer Output | 5 V logic-level pulses on TACH-OUT; average voltage proportional to motor speed for closed-loop feedback. |
| Cross-Conduction Protection | Hardware-implemented deadtime ≥25 µs; prevents shoot-through via direction latch and flip-flop interlocks. |
Pinout & Package
UC2625DWTR is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (DW) package with 1.27 mm pitch, surface-mount footprint, and thermal performance suitable for industrial motor drive PCBs.

| 19 | VCC | Main supply input (10–18 V); includes under-voltage lockout (turn-on at 8.95 V typical) and bypassing requirement (0.1 µF). |
| 20 | TACH-OUT | Open-drain tachometer output; generates fixed-width pulses per commutation for speed feedback and averaging. |
| 21 | RC-BRAKE | Brake mode activation input; pulls below 1.0 V to engage controlled braking via low-side-only conduction. |
| 22 | QUAD SEL | Two- vs. four-quadrant operation select; high enables full H-bridge control for equal acceleration/deceleration. |
| 23 | OV-COAST | Over-voltage shutdown or coast command input; TTL/CMOS compatible with hysteresis for noise immunity. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latched Soft Start | Prevents motor inrush by clamping error amplifier output until SSTART capacitor charges above 0.2 V. |
| Programmable Cross-Conduction Protection | Hardware-enforced 25–50 µs deadtime between complementary PU/PD outputs eliminates shoot-through risk. |
| High-Speed Current-Sense Amplifier | 2× gain with 2.5 V level shift enables direct connection to shunt resistors without external op-amps or bias networks. |
| Direction Latch with Speed Lock | Blocks DIR changes when SPEED-IN > 250 mV, ensuring safe reversal only at near-zero speed to avoid back-EMF damage. |
| Two- and Four-Quadrant Operation | Selectable via QUAD SEL pin; two-quadrant improves efficiency in unidirectional loads, four-quadrant enables servo-grade bidirectional control. |
| Tachometer Output with Noise Blanking | TACH-OUT pulses synchronized to Hall transitions, with 50–100 µs blanking window to reject commutation noise. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar brushless DC motor controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC3625DWTR | Commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical pinout, functionality, and electrical specs except temp grade. | Targeted for non-industrial environments where extended temperature operation is not required. | Select UC3625DWTR only if ambient operating temperature remains within 0–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs industrial qualification needs. |
| DRV8301HDDCR | Integrated gate drivers + current shunt amplifiers + buck converter; 3.3 V logic interface; no Hall decoder or tach output. | Requires external MCU for commutation logic; suited for field-oriented control (FOC) rather than Hall-based trapezoidal control. | Choose DRV8301HDDCR when implementing sensorless or encoder-based FOC with microcontroller coordination, not standalone Hall-driven control. |
Compared with UC3625DWTR, the UC2625DWTR offers extended temperature reliability for industrial deployment, while DRV8301HDDCR shifts system complexity to software but reduces external component count for advanced control architectures.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UC2625DWTR?
The UC2625DWTR is characterized for operation from –40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This specification is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the SLUS353C datasheet and distinguishes it from the UC3625DWTR (0°C to +70°C) and UC1625DWTR (–55°C to +125°C). The UC2625DWTR maintains full functionality-including oscillator stability, current sense accuracy, and driver output capability-across this full range.
How does the UC2625DWTR implement safe direction reversal?
The UC2625DWTR uses a hardware direction latch combined with SPEED-IN monitoring to prevent unsafe reversal. When SPEED-IN voltage exceeds ~250 mV-indicating measurable motor rotation-the latch becomes opaque, blocking DIR input changes. Only when speed drops below this threshold does the latch become transparent again. Additionally, a two-bit shift register clocked by the PWM oscillator enforces a minimum 25–50 µs delay between direction commands, ensuring sufficient time for back-EMF decay before commutation. This dual mechanism is intrinsic to the UC2625DWTR's architecture and requires no external logic.
Can the UC2625DWTR drive N-channel MOSFETs on both high-side and low-side?
The UC2625DWTR natively supports N-channel MOSFETs on the low-side via its push-pull PDA/PDB/PDC outputs, but its high-side drivers (PUA/PUB/PUC) are open-collector and rated for 50 V-intended for P-channel MOSFETs or level-shifted N-channel drive. To use N-channel MOSFETs on the high-side, external circuitry such as charge pumps, optocouplers (e.g., with UC3725), or transformer-isolated gate drivers (as shown in Figure 14 of SLUS353C) is required. The UC2625DWTR itself does not provide bootstrap or high-side floating supply generation.
What is the function of the RC-BRAKE pin on the UC2625DWTR?
The RC-BRAKE pin on the UC2625DWTR serves two distinct functions: (1) As a tachometer timing node-when connected to RT and CT, it sets brake pulse width and tachometer on-time via T ≈ 0.67 × RT × CT; (2) As a brake activation input-pulling RC-BRAKE below 1.0 V forces the UC2625DWTR into brake mode, turning off all high-side drivers (PUA/PUB/PUC) and enabling all low-side drivers (PDA/PDB/PDC) for dynamic braking. In this mode, current sensing remains active, allowing controlled braking if ISENSE is configured for average current measurement.
Does the UC2625DWTR include an integrated oscillator, and how is its frequency set?
Yes, the UC2625DWTR includes an internal RC oscillator tied to the RC-OSC pin (pin 25). Oscillator frequency is set externally using a resistor (ROSC) from RC-OSC to VREF and a capacitor (COSC) from RC-OSC to GND, following the approximation F ≈ 2 / (ROSC × COSC). Typical values yield 40–60 kHz, and the datasheet confirms stable operation with ROSC = 20 kΩ and COSC = 2 nF. The RC-OSC pin also provides a 1.2 Vpp ramp centered at ~1.6 V, usable for slope compensation in current-mode control or as a PWM ramp source.
