News Release

Motor driver from Microchip is automotive AEC-Q100-qualified, highly integrated and compact; provides high performance and high current
Cost-effective MCP8063 is world's first 1.5 ampere, three-phase br shless !C, si" soidal motor driver i" a #$# mm pac%a&e with the '(C-)100 * alit+ certificatio"
e! "elhi, 1# April $01% & A'"AQ( MC)*+ , Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, has launched the MC*-0#. a highly integrated, cost-effective, automotive A !-"#$$-%ualified motor driver that delivers superior performance in a small, &-pin, 'x' mm (F) pac*age. It is also the +orld,s first to com-ine all of those features +ith #..A pea* phase current for the #&$-degree sinusoidal drive of a variety of three-phase -rushless (! motor and fan applications. This integration reduces cost and P!/ area, and the high sinusoidal-drive performance provides high efficiency, lo+ acoustic noise and lo+ mechanical vi-ration for energy savings and %uiet operation. Additionally, the M!P&$01 includes safety features such as thermal shutdo+n, over-current limiting and loc*-up protection. The designers of a -road range of motor applications in mar*ets such as the automotive, IT, industrial and home-appliance sectors are faced +ith increasing regulatory and consumer demands for continued reductions in cost, space, noise and po+er consumption2 +ith -etter performance and safety. The integrated features of the M!P&$01 motor driver solve these pro-lems cost-effectively, +hile providing a +ide operating temperature range of -'$ to 3#4.-degrees !elsius. Additionally, it supports the sensorless driving of /5(! motors, +hich eliminates the cost and space of a 6all sensor. 7!ustomers re%uested a compact, high-performance motor driver +ith high current and a +ide temperature range, +hile adhering to the A !-"#$$ %uality standard,7 said /ryan 8. 5iddiard, mar*eting vice president of Microchip,s Analog and Interface Products (ivision. 79ur ne+ M!P&$01 delivers on that re%uest, providing a complete single-chip solution for a +ide variety of three-phase, -rushless (! applications at attractive price points.7 The M!P&$01 motor driver +or*s stand-alone or in con:unction +ith Microchip,s large portfolio of PI! microcontrollers and dsPI!; digital signal controllers. This offers a high degree of flexi-ility for everything from simple voltage control to closed-loop motor speed control using high-performance algorithms, such as sinusoidal sensorless drive.
