Product details
Overview
UCC3626NG4 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 V/V), precision tachometer output (variable duty-cycle, frequency-proportional), and synchronized triangle oscillator (9–11 kHz typical). 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 UCC3626NG4 datasheet, UCC3626NG4 pinout, UCC3626NG4 application, or UCC3626NG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Hall-decoded commutation logic, QUAD-selectable PWM modulation mode (low-side only vs. full-bridge), ±200 mA output drive capability, and 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range - all critical for closed-loop speed/torque control in servo drives and precision actuators.
Technical Context
The UCC3626NG4 implements a Hall decoder with direction detection (DIR_IN/DIR_OUT), latched PWM comparator with programmable CT oscillator, and differential current-sense amplifier with absolute-value output (IOUT = |SNS_I − SNS_NI| × 5). Its oscillator supports external synchronization via SYNCH input and uses R_TACH/CT to set frequency (fOSC ≈ 2.5/(R_TACH × C_TACH)).
Tachometer timing is independently configured using R_TACH and C_TACH to generate TACH_OUT pulses with on-time tON = R_TACH × C_TACH, enabling digital velocity feedback. The device provides COAST and BRAKE inputs for overvoltage clamping and active braking, with UVLO threshold at 10.5 V and hysteresis of 0.4 V.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the UCC3626NG4?
The UCC3626NG4 is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for commercial and light-industrial environments where ambient temperature is controlled. This differs from the UCC2626N variant, which supports –40°C to 85°C. The UCC3626NG4's thermal design assumes adequate PCB copper pour and avoids placement near heat-generating components.
How does the QUAD input affect PWM operation in the UCC3626NG4?
When QUAD = 0, the UCC3626NG4 modulates only the low-side outputs (ALOW/BLOW/CLOW), reducing switching losses in two-quadrant applications. When QUAD = 1, both high- and low-side outputs are PWM-controlled, enabling full four-quadrant torque reversal with controlled current decay. This configuration is selected via a logic-level input and does not require hardware changes.
Can the UCC3626NG4 interface directly with Hall-effect sensors?
Yes, the UCC3626NG4 accepts standard open-collector or three-state Hall-effect sensor outputs on HALLA, HALLB, and HALLC pins. These inputs feature built-in hysteresis (0.6–1.0 V) and should be externally pulled up to VREF (5 V) or another compatible supply. Passive RC filtering close to the pins is recommended to suppress EMI in noisy motor environments.
What is the purpose of the IOUT pin on the UCC3626NG4?
The IOUT pin delivers the amplified and absolute-valued motor current signal: IOUT = 5 × |SNS_I − SNS_NI|. This output serves dual purposes - providing pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection when compared to OC_REF, and closing a current control loop in four-quadrant applications. Its rail-to-rail swing and low output impedance support direct connection to op-amps or ADCs.
Does the UCC3626NG4 support external oscillator synchronization?
Yes, the UCC3626NG4 includes a dedicated SYNCH input (Pin 7) that accepts positive-going edges from an external master clock. To enable synchronization, a resistor equal to R_TACH must be placed in parallel with CT. The internal oscillator automatically adjusts phase to align with the master signal, eliminating jitter in multi-controller systems.
