Product details
Overview
UCC3626PWTR 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 UCC3626PWTR datasheet, UCC3626PWTR pinout, UCC3626PWTR application, or UCC3626PWTR equivalent, this device is selected for closed-loop speed and current control in servo drives, precision positioning equipment, and programmable logic-controlled motor systems requiring accurate rotor direction detection (DIR_OUT), pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection, and configurable PWM modulation mode via QUAD input.
Technical Context
The UCC3626PWTR implements Hall-based commutation decoding with direction-sensitive logic (DIR_IN/DIR_OUT), enabling clockwise/counterclockwise rotation detection. Its oscillator uses CT and R_TACH to generate a 9–11 kHz triangle waveform with 5 V peak-to-peak amplitude, synchronizable via SYNCH input using an external master clock.
Current sensing employs a differential amplifier (SNS_I/SNS_NI) with 8 mV max input offset and 60 dB PSRR, feeding an absolute-value circuit to reconstruct bidirectional motor current. The tachometer (TACH_OUT) produces a variable-duty-cycle output triggered by Hall transitions, with on-time programmable via R_TACH and C_TACH per tON = R_TACH × C_TACH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 9–11 kHz typical; sets PWM carrier rate for motor phase switching and noise immunity. |
| Current Sense Gain | 5.00 V/V ±1.5%; enables direct reconstruction of motor phase current magnitude for protection and control loops. |
| Tachometer Output | Variable duty-cycle square wave; frequency ∝ motor RPM, usable for digital velocity feedback or analog filtering. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 10.5–15 V; undervoltage lockout disables outputs below 10.5 V to prevent erratic commutation. |
| Hall Input Hysteresis | 0.6–1.0 V; rejects noise on HALLA/B/C signals to ensure stable rotor position decoding. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±200 mA per AHI/ALOW/BHI/BLOW/CHI/CLOW; directly interfaces with gate drivers like IR2110 without buffering. |
| Reference Voltage | 4.9–5.1 V at –2 mA load; provides stable bias for Hall pull-ups, R_TACH programming, and external circuitry. |

| SYNCH (Pin 7) | External oscillator synchronization input | Accepts positive-edge clock pulses; requires parallel R_TACH resistor when enabled; must be grounded otherwise. |
| DIR_OUT (Pin 8) | Decoded rotor direction output | Digital signal indicating clockwise/counterclockwise rotation; polarity matches DIR_IN during motoring. |
| SNS_NI (Pin 9) | Current sense amplifier non-inverting input | Connects to one side of shunt resistor; forms differential pair with SNS_I for bidirectional current measurement. |

| IOUT (Pin 11) | Absolute-value current sense output | Reconstructed |Iphase| signal; used for overcurrent protection and current loop closure. |
| OC_REF (Pin 12) | Overcurrent trip threshold input | Analog voltage setting comparator threshold; internal comparator compares IOUT against this level. |

| BLOW (Pin 19) | Phase B low-side gate drive output | Digital output controlling lower MOSFET/IGBT in phase B leg; ±200 mA capable. |
| CHI (Pin 20) | Phase C high-side gate drive output | Digital output controlling upper MOSFET/IGBT in phase C leg; ±200 mA capable. |
| CLOW (Pin 21) | Phase C low-side gate drive output | Digital output controlling lower MOSFET/IGBT in phase C leg; ±200 mA capable. |
| DIR_IN (Pin 22) | Direction command input | Logic-level input selecting commutation sequence order (clockwise vs counterclockwise). |
| QUAD (Pin 23) | Quadrant selection input | High = four-quadrant (modulates both high/low sides); Low = two-quadrant (modulates low sides only). |
| BRAKE (Pin 24) | Brake mode activation input | Forces all low-side outputs ON and high-side outputs OFF; maintains TACH_OUT functionality. |
| COAST (Pin 25) | Coast mode activation input | Hysteretic comparator disables all outputs above 1.75 V; used for bus overvoltage clamping. |
| HALLC (Pin 26) | Rotor position sensor input C | 120°-spaced Hall sensor input; internally pulled up to VREF; requires RC filtering per TI design guidelines. |
| HALLB (Pin 27) | Rotor position sensor input B | 120°-spaced Hall sensor input; same electrical specs and filtering requirements as HALLC. |
| HALLA (Pin 28) | Rotor position sensor input A | 120°-spaced Hall sensor input; same electrical specs and filtering requirements as HALLC. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC2626PWTR | Wider temperature range (–40°C to 85°C) and identical pinout/functionality; differs only in operating temperature grade. | Preferred for industrial environments with extended ambient ranges; not rated for 0–70°C-only designs requiring tighter initial calibration. | Select UCC2626PWTR when operating outside 0–70°C or when legacy UCC2626 design reuse is required. |
| DRV8301DCA | Integrated gate drivers + current shunt amplifiers + buck converter; no Hall decoder or tachometer; SPI-configurable. | Requires external MCU for commutation logic and speed feedback processing; lacks DIR_OUT and TACH_OUT hardware outputs. | Choose DRV8301DCA for space-constrained designs needing integrated power stage drivers but accepting added firmware complexity. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the UCC3626PWTR?
The UCC3626PWTR is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating distinguishes it from the industrial-grade UCC2626PWTR (–40°C to 85°C). All electrical characteristics-including oscillator frequency, tachometer on-time accuracy, and current sense gain-are guaranteed within this 0–70°C range per the SLUS318B datasheet revision.
How does the QUAD pin affect PWM operation in the UCC3626PWTR?
When QUAD = 0 (low), the UCC3626PWTR modulates only the low-side outputs (ALOW/BLOW/CLOW) while keeping high-side outputs (AHI/BHI/CHI) static-enabling two-quadrant operation with reduced switching losses. When QUAD = 1 (high), both high- and low-side outputs are PWM-modulated, enabling true four-quadrant control with controlled current decay during off-time and elimination of uncontrolled circulating currents.
Can the UCC3626PWTR directly drive power MOSFETs without external gate drivers?
No. The UCC3626PWTR outputs (AHI/ALOW/BHI/BLOW/CHI/CLOW) provide logic-level signals with ±200 mA drive strength, intended to interface with dedicated high- and low-side gate drivers such as the IR2110. Direct MOSFET driving is not supported due to insufficient voltage swing and lack of bootstrap or level-shifting circuitry required for high-side N-channel devices.
What is the function of the IOUT pin on the UCC3626PWTR?
The IOUT pin delivers the output of the integrated differential current-sense amplifier (gain = 5 V/V) combined with an absolute-value circuit. It provides a continuous positive-voltage representation of motor phase current magnitude (|Iphase|), usable for overcurrent protection, current-loop feedback, or analog filtering-eliminating the need for external op-amps or rectifiers in four-quadrant applications.
How is tachometer output frequency related to motor speed in the UCC3626PWTR?
The UCC3626PWTR's TACH_OUT frequency equals (motor RPM × pole pairs) / 20 Hz. For example, a 4-pole motor spinning at 3000 RPM yields TACH_OUT frequency = (3000 × 2) / 20 = 300 Hz. The duty cycle varies with commutation timing but remains usable for digital counting or low-pass filtering to extract analog speed voltage.
