Product details
Overview
UCC2626DW from Texas Instruments is a three-phase brushless DC motor controller IC supporting two- and four-quadrant operation, featuring integrated absolute-value current sensing (gain = 5), precision tachometer output (variable duty-cycle, frequency-proportional), and PWM control with oscillator synchronization capability. It decodes Hall sensor inputs (HALLA/B/C) to drive six gate outputs (AHI/ALOW/BHI/BLOW/CHI/CLOW) for external power stages in industrial motion control systems.
For engineers reviewing the UCC2626DW datasheet, UCC2626DW pinout, UCC2626DW application, or UCC2626DW equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to 85°C operating range, SOIC-28 package, 10.5 V UVLO start threshold, 9–11 kHz oscillator frequency (with CT = 1 nF, R_TACH = 250 kΩ), and differential current-sense amplifier with 8 mV input offset voltage.
Technical Context
The UCC2626DW implements Hall-based commutation decoding for 120°-spaced rotor position sensors, generating six synchronized high- and low-side drive signals. Its PWM logic supports both voltage-mode and current-mode control via configurable comparator inputs (PWM_I/PWM_NI) and selectable QUAD mode (two- vs. four-quadrant).
It integrates a 5-V trimmed reference (±2% accuracy), triangle-wave oscillator (CT pin, 2.5–7.5 V swing), monostable tachometer (TACH_OUT, on-time set by R_TACH/C_TACH), and direction detection (DIR_IN/DIR_OUT) with hysteresis on all logic inputs (1.4 V low, 3.6 V high thresholds).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial motor control environments without derating. |
| Oscillator frequency | 9.0–11.0 kHz at VDD = 12 V, CT = 1 nF, R_TACH = 250 kΩ - sets base PWM switching rate for torque ripple and EMI trade-offs. |
| Current sense gain | 5.00 V/V ±1.5% - enables direct reconstruction of motor phase current magnitude for overcurrent protection and closed-loop current control. |
| Tachometer output | Variable duty-cycle square wave - frequency proportional to RPM, on-time programmable via R_TACH/C_TACH for digital or analog speed feedback. |
| UVLO start threshold | 10.5 V typical - prevents erratic startup or partial operation during brown-out conditions in 12-V supply systems. |
| Output drive capability | ±200 mA per AHI/ALOW/BHI/BLOW/CHI/CLOW - sufficient to directly drive gate drivers (e.g., IR2110) without level-shifting buffers. |
| Input offset voltage (sense amp) | 8 mV max - limits current measurement error to ≤0.16% of full-scale sense voltage at 5× gain. |
Pinout & Package
UCC2626DW is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (DW) package, 17.9 mm × 7.5 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, with GND pin (1) and VDD pin (28) positioned for optimal power/ground decoupling. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner.

| C_TACH (5) | Tachometer timing capacitor connection | Charged by R_TACH current to set TACH_OUT pulse width; must be placed close to pin with direct ground connection. |
| CT (6) | Oscillator timing capacitor node | Triangle waveform node (2.5–7.5 V swing); drives PWM comparator; requires low-ESR capacitor tied directly to GND. |
| SYNCH (7) | External oscillator sync input | Positive-edge-triggered; enables master-slave synchronization when used with parallel R_TACH resistor on CT. |
| DIR_OUT (8) | Decoded rotor direction output | Digital signal indicating clockwise/counterclockwise rotation derived from HALLA/B/C transitions; matches DIR_IN polarity during motoring. |
| SNS_NI (9) | Current sense non-inverting input | High-impedance input to differential amplifier; used with SNS_I to measure bidirectional motor current magnitude. |
| SNS_I (10) | Current sense inverting input | Paired with SNS_NI; absolute-value output (IOUT) reconstructs true motor current regardless of quadrant. |
| IOUT (11) | Reconstructed current output | Analog representation of |ISNS_I − ISNS_NI| × 5; feeds current control loops or overcurrent comparators (OC_REF referenced). |
| OC_REF (12) | Overcurrent trip threshold | Analog input setting comparator threshold for pulse-by-pulse current limiting; referenced to IOUT for fast fault response. |
| PWM_I (13) | PWM comparator inverting input | Accepts current or voltage error signal; compared against triangle waveform on CT to generate PWM duty cycle. |
| PWM_NI (14) | PWM comparator non-inverting input | Connected to CT for standard voltage-mode PWM; alternative use enables current-mode control with slope compensation. |
| VDD (15) | Supply voltage input | 12-V nominal operation; UVLO disables outputs below 10.5 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| AHI (16) | Phase A high-side gate drive | Digital output controlling upper MOSFET/IGBT in phase A leg; sinks/source ±200 mA for direct driver interfacing. |
| ALOW (17) | Phase A low-side gate drive | Digital output controlling lower switch in phase A; active during brake (BRAKE = high) and normal commutation. |
| BHI (18) | Phase B high-side gate drive | Commutation-controlled output for phase B upper switch; timing follows Hall decoder truth table (Table 1). |
| BLOW (19) | Phase B low-side gate drive | Commutation-controlled output for phase B lower switch; disabled only during UVLO, overcurrent, or COAST. |
| CHI (20) | Phase C high-side gate drive | Third high-side output; complements AHI/BHI to complete three-phase 120° sequencing. |
| CLOW (21) | Phase C low-side gate drive | Third low-side output; works with CHI to enable full bridge control in four-quadrant mode (QUAD = 1). |
| DIR_IN (22) | Direction command input | Logic-level input selecting forward/reverse commutation sequence; determines HALL decoding order per Table 1. |
| QUAD (23) | Quadrant selection input | Low = two-quadrant (low-side PWM only); high = four-quadrant (full-bridge PWM); critical for braking and reversal safety. |
| BRAKE (24) | Brake mode activation | Active-high input forcing all low-side switches ON and high-side OFF; maintains TACH_OUT functionality during dynamic braking. |
| COAST (25) | Coast mode activation | Hysteretic comparator input (1.6–2.0 V threshold); disables all outputs above 1.75 V to implement bus overvoltage clamp. |
| HALLC (26) | Rotor position sensor C input | One of three 120°-spaced Hall inputs; internally pulled up to VREF; requires RC filtering per Figure 2 for noise immunity. |
| HALLB (27) | Rotor position sensor B input | Second Hall input; decoded with HALLA/HALLC to determine commutation state and direction; hysteresis ≥0.6 V. |
| HALLA (28) | Rotor position sensor A input | First Hall input; forms 3-bit position code with HALLB/HALLC; invalid states (all high/low) force zero output per Table 1. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC3626DW | Same pinout and functional block diagram, but rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient-lacks extended industrial temperature qualification. | Targeted at commercial-grade equipment (e.g., office automation, consumer appliances) rather than harsh industrial environments. | Select UCC3626DW only if operating temperature remains within 0–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin requirements. |
| DRV8301 | Integrated gate drivers + current shunt amplifiers in 32-pin HTSSOP; no Hall decoder or tach output-requires external MCU for commutation logic. | Used in high-current (>10 A), high-efficiency systems where space-constrained PCBs favor integration over discrete control + driver separation. | Choose DRV8301 when system already includes a capable MCU for Hall decoding and tach processing, and higher current drive (1.5 A peak) is needed. |
Compared with UCC3626DW and DRV8301, the UCC2626DW uniquely combines Hall decoding, tach generation, and quadrature-selectable PWM in a single SOIC-28 package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, MCU-offloaded BLDC systems requiring industrial temperature range and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC2626DW?
The UCC2626DW is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation, HVAC blowers, and outdoor robotics where thermal cycling occurs. The device incorporates undervoltage lockout that disables outputs below 10.5 V to prevent malfunction during cold-start conditions.
How does the UCC2626DW implement four-quadrant motor control?
The UCC2626DW achieves four-quadrant control via the QUAD input pin: when QUAD = 1, both high-side (AHI/BHI/CHI) and low-side (ALOW/BLOW/CLOW) outputs are modulated by the PWM comparator, enabling controlled regeneration and torque reversal. This eliminates uncontrolled circulating currents seen in two-quadrant mode and allows safe operation in quadrants II and IV where torque opposes rotation.
Can the UCC2626DW synchronize its oscillator to an external clock?
Yes, the UCC2626DW supports oscillator synchronization through the SYNCH pin. A positive-going edge on SYNCH forces the CT node to begin discharging, aligning the internal triangle waveform with a master clock. For proper locking, the internal oscillator must be programmed to a frequency slightly lower than the master, and a resistor equal to R_TACH must be placed in parallel with CT.
What is the function of the IOUT pin on the UCC2626DW?
The IOUT pin on the UCC2626DW delivers the output of the integrated differential current-sense amplifier and absolute-value circuit: IOUT = |SNS_I − SNS_NI| × 5. This reconstructed analog signal represents true motor phase current magnitude regardless of direction-enabling pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection and closed-loop current control without external op-amps or rectifiers.
Does the UCC2626DW require external components for Hall sensor interfacing?
Yes, the UCC2626DW requires external passive RC filters on HALLA, HALLB, and HALLC pins to suppress noise-induced false commutation. TI recommends 1 kΩ series resistors and 2.2 nF capacitors placed close to the device, with pull-up to VREF. For 60° Hall sensors, an external conversion circuit (e.g., Figure 1) is needed to generate compatible 120° encoding before connecting to the UCC2626DW.
