Product details
Overview
UCC3626DWTR from Texas Instruments is a three-phase brushless DC motor controller IC supporting two- and four-quadrant operation, featuring integrated current-sense amplifier (gain = 5 V/V), precision tachometer output (variable duty-cycle, frequency-proportional), and 10 kHz oscillator (RTACH = 250 kΩ, CT = 1 nF). 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 UCC3626DWTR datasheet, UCC3626DWTR pinout, UCC3626DWTR application, or UCC3626DWTR equivalent, key selection criteria include Hall-based commutation logic, QUAD-selectable PWM modulation mode (low-side only vs. high-/low-side), absolute-value current reconstruction for pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection, and tachometer timing programmability via R_TACH and C_TACH.
Technical Context
The UCC3626DWTR implements a Hall decoder with direction detection (DIR_IN/DIR_OUT), latched PWM comparator with programmable oscillator (CT pin, triangle waveform), and differential current-sense amplifier with absolute-value output (IOUT = |SNS_I − SNS_NI| × 5). Its oscillator supports synchronization via SYNCH input when paired with matching R_TACH parallel resistor.
Four-quadrant operation (QUAD = 1) enables simultaneous high- and low-side PWM modulation for controlled torque reversal and continuous current sensing; two-quadrant mode (QUAD = 0) modulates only low-side switches, reducing switching losses but limiting braking capability without external diode routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator frequency | 10 kHz typical (R_TACH = 250 kΩ, CT = 1 nF); sets PWM carrier rate and tachometer timing base. |
| Current sense gain | 5.00 V/V (±1.5%); provides scaled analog representation of motor phase current magnitude for loop control and protection. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Reference ground | Common return for all internal circuits; bypass capacitors must connect here to minimize noise coupling into oscillator and current sense paths. |
| VREF (Pin 2) | 5-V trimmed reference | 2% accuracy, 5 mA max output; used to bias Hall sensors and set OC_REF trip point; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass. |
| TACH_OUT (Pin 3) | Tachometer output | Open-drain monostable output; variable duty cycle proportional to motor speed; compatible with microcontroller capture inputs or RC-filtered analog feedback. |
| R_TACH (Pin 4) | Tachometer current source | Sets charge current for C_TACH (ICHARGE ≈ 51 µA at 250 kΩ); programs tachometer on-time and oscillator frequency simultaneously. |
| C_TACH (Pin 5) | Tachometer timing capacitor | Connected to GND; defines tachometer pulse width (tON = R_TACH × C_TACH); must be placed close to pin with direct ground connection. |
| CT (Pin 6) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Charged/discharged between 2.5 V and 7.5 V; sets PWM carrier frequency (fOSC = 2.5 / (R_TACH × CT)); requires low-ESR ceramic cap near pin. |
| SYNCH (Pin 7) | External clock sync input | Positive-edge triggered; forces oscillator discharge; requires grounded when unused and matched R_TACH parallel resistor during sync operation. |
| DIR_OUT (Pin 8) | Direction indicator output | Digital signal indicating actual rotor rotation direction (CW/CCW) decoded from Hall transitions; matches DIR_IN polarity during motoring. |
| SNS_NI (Pin 9) | Current sense inverting input | Connects to low-side current shunt; forms differential pair with SNS_I; input bias current ≤15 µA minimizes offset error. |
| SNS_I (Pin 10) | Current sense noninverting input | Connects to high-side of shunt; common-mode range 0–5 V; enables accurate bidirectional current measurement in four-quadrant mode. |
| IOUT (Pin 11) | Reconstructed current output | Analog voltage = 5 × |SNS_I − SNS_NI|; used for current loop closure or overcurrent comparator (OC_REF) threshold comparison. |
| OC_REF (Pin 12) | Overcurrent trip reference | Analog input setting comparator threshold; when IOUT exceeds this voltage, PWM is inhibited for pulse-by-pulse protection. |
| PWM_I (Pin 13) | PWM comparator inverting input | Accepts current or voltage error signal; compared against triangle waveform on CT to generate duty-cycle-modulated gate drive. |
| PWM_NI (Pin 14) | PWM comparator noninverting input | Accepts feedback signal (e.g., IOUT or filtered tach); latched comparator ensures stable edge timing independent of noise. |
| VDD (Pin 15) | Power supply input | 12-V nominal supply; UVLO disables outputs below 10.5 V; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor adjacent to pin. |
| AHI (Pin 16) | Phase A high-side gate driver | Digital output controlling upper MOSFET in phase A leg; sinks/source ±200 mA; logic-high enables high-side switch. |
| ALOW (Pin 17) | Phase A low-side gate driver | Digital output controlling lower MOSFET in phase A leg; complements AHI in commutation sequence per Hall decoding table. |
| BHI (Pin 18) | Phase B high-side gate driver | Drives upper switch in phase B; synchronized with AHI/CHI per 6-step Hall commutation pattern. |
| BLOW (Pin 19) | Phase B low-side gate driver | Drives lower switch in phase B; active during complementary half-cycle to BHI; supports BRAKE/COAST override. |
| CHI (Pin 20) | Phase C high-side gate driver | Controls upper MOSFET in phase C; completes three-phase 6-step output set; disabled during COAST command. |
| CLOW (Pin 21) | Phase C low-side gate driver | Controls lower MOSFET in phase C; works with CHI to deliver full sinusoidal-equivalent torque in BLDC applications. |
| DIR_IN (Pin 22) | Direction select input | Logic-level input (1.4 V low / 3.6 V high) selecting forward/reverse Hall decoding sequence; determines commutation order. |
| QUAD (Pin 23) | Quadrant mode select | High = four-quadrant (PWM both sides); Low = two-quadrant (PWM low-side only); configures power stage control architecture. |
| BRAKE (Pin 24) | Brake command input | Active-high signal forcing all low-side outputs ON and high-side OFF; maintains tachometer functionality during dynamic braking. |
| COAST (Pin 25) | Coast command input | Hysteretic comparator input (1.75 V threshold); disables all gate outputs to allow motor freewheeling; prevents bus overvoltage in regenerative scenarios. |
| HALLC (Pin 26) | Rotor position input C | 120°-spaced Hall sensor input; internally pulled up to VREF; requires RC filtering per Figure 2 for noise immunity. |
| HALLB (Pin 27) | Rotor position input B | Second Hall input; decoded with HALLA/HALLC to determine commutation state; hysteresis = 0.6–1.0 V for robust edge detection. |
| HALLA (Pin 28) | Rotor position input A | First Hall input; 3-bit Gray-coded sequence defines six valid states; invalid combinations (e.g., all high/low) force outputs OFF. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the UCC3626DWTR?
The UCC3626DWTR is rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade specification is explicitly defined in the SLUS318B datasheet's "electrical characteristics" section and distinguishes it from the –40°C to 85°C rated UCC2626 variant. Thermal derating or heatsinking is not supported beyond this range.
How does the QUAD pin affect PWM output behavior in the UCC3626DWTR?
When QUAD = 0 (low), the UCC3626DWTR modulates only the low-side gate outputs (ALOW/BLOW/CLOW) while keeping high-side outputs (AHI/BHI/CHI) static-reducing switching losses in two-quadrant applications. When QUAD = 1 (high), both high- and low-side outputs are PWM-modulated, enabling four-quadrant operation with controlled torque reversal and continuous current sensing through the shunt resistor.
Can the UCC3626DWTR directly drive power MOSFETs, or is an external gate driver required?
The UCC3626DWTR does not directly drive power MOSFETs; its AHI/ALOW/BHI/BLOW/CHI/CLOW outputs are logic-level signals intended for interfacing with dedicated high-current gate drivers such as the IR2110. Each output sources/sinks ±200 mA, insufficient for typical MOSFET gate charge requirements above ~1 A RMS current.
What is the function of the IOUT pin on the UCC3626DWTR, and how is it used in current control loops?
The IOUT pin on the UCC3626DWTR delivers an analog voltage equal to 5 × |SNS_I − SNS_NI|, reconstructing the absolute magnitude of motor phase current. In current control loops, IOUT is fed to the PWM comparator's noninverting input (PWM_NI) or to an external error amplifier to close the inner current loop, enabling torque regulation and pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection when compared against OC_REF.
Is the UCC3626DWTR pin-compatible with the UCC2626DWTR, and what are the key differences?
Yes, the UCC3626DWTR is pin-compatible with the UCC2626DWTR-same SOIC-28 package, identical pinout, and fully interchangeable at the board level. The sole difference is operating temperature range: UCC3626DWTR is rated 0°C to 70°C, while UCC2626DWTR extends to –40°C to 85°C. All electrical specifications, features, and timing parameters are otherwise identical.
