Active-Semi’s Power Application ControllerTM (PACTM) IC Family offers highly integrated,
single-IC solutions for BLDC and PMSM motor controls perfect for Power Tool solutions.
PACTM family of ICs, specifically the PAC5220, PAC5223 and PAC5250, along with firmware IP
for sensorless BLDC and FOC control, offer better system performance, efficiency and
reliability while reducing total system footprint, BOM cost and time-to-market in these
applications.

SMALLEST SYSTEM FOOTPRINT: In a tiny 6mm x 6mm QFN package, PACTM integrates required
power management, up to 70V, 1A gate drivers for 3-phase motor control, analog front-end
along with 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 core to enable high-performance BLDC motor in smallest
system footprint. PACTM also includes serial interfaces control, high-speed PWM Engines,
timers, and sophisticated hardware based protection blocks for improved system reliability.
BOM COST REDUCTION WITH POWERFUL ALL-IN-ONE INTEGRATION: PACTM ICs integrate high
voltage high-side and low-side gate drivers for 3-phase control, offering superior switching
performance than those in typical discrete implementations. The high level of integration with
multi-mode power manager, single-ended and differential amps, on-chip temperature sensing,
protection blocks also help reduce external components for lowest BOM cost and system
footprint.
HIGH PERFORMANCE: PACTM Architecture has several features and clocking schemes to
enhance performance and reduce current consumption such as during total system shutdown
or hibernate mode.
SYSTEM SCALABILITY: PACTM ICs are highly configurable for different input power requirements (direct input from battery, AC input or DC input through buck or boost modes), output
drives with 3-half bridge drivers, open drains, GPIOs, and programmable ARM Cortex core.
PAC5250 with integrated 600V gatedrivers is ideal for AC powered tools, whereas PAC5223
with 1A/1A HS/LS drivers would be ideal for up to 70V BLDC motor based power tools. PAC
solutions can scale from a few watts to a few kilo watts with minimal design efforts and system
component changes.
PROVEN FIRMWARE IP & TOOLS: PACTM motor solutions are supported with reference
designs and high-quality IP for sensored & sensorless control. In addition, software tools such
as motor tuning GUI help reduce development time and time-to-market. PACTM Software
Development Kit (SDK) is available for IAR, Coocox and Keil IDEs.
