The MLX90401 is a three-phase brushless DC
motor controller, designed to meet the needs of
high volume, low cost motors with 60o or 120°
electrical sensor phasing which do not require
the expensive options needed for servo or other
closed loop applications.
The use of CMOS technology offers dense logic
as well as high voltage (60V) driver capabilities.
The use of discrete low cost N-channel power
FETs reduces overall system cost and the
device provides all of the logic necessary to
interface Hall-effect position sensors to Nchannel power FETs. Upper N-channel power
FETs require a gate drive in excess of the
supply voltage V+, and with the device’s on-chip
“boost” voltage, the use of all N-Channel power
FETs is allowed. Control inputs are provided for
motor speed, forward or reverse direction,
disable, and braking. 60° or 120° electrical
sensor phasing can be set externally.
The device is offered in a 24 Lead Wide Body
SOIC package (DF).

Input levels of the DISABLE pin are defined internally by a resistor tree.
tdelay1 and tdelay2 depend on fosc and timing of the signals to be debounced. 60°/120° Select and Fwd/Rev
are debounced using a clock with a frequency of 256*fosc. /Brake is debounced using a clock with a
frequency of 32*fosc. Debouncing takes between 2 and 3 clock cycles. Typical example for, say 60°/120°
Select: 2.5*256*1/fosc = 2.5*256*1/25kHz = 25.6 ms.

tdelay3 depends on fosc. Precautions are taken that tdelay3 is always larger than tdelay1, so that there are only
output signals when the chip is in the correct state.

7 General description
7.1 Overview
The MLX90401 contains all functions for controlling three-phase brushless DC motors in open loop
applications.
The MLX90401 supports following control functions:
• speed control
• forward or reverse rotation
• braking
• disable
The chip contains:
• a rotor position decoder for proper commutation sequencing
• a voltage reference that supplies power for the sensors
• a pulse width modulator (PWM) based on a frequency programmable sawtooth oscillator
• three top and three bottom drivers
Using a bootstrap/charge pump combination, the MLX90401 also generates a boost voltage to drive the top
power FET. In this way the application only uses N-channel power FETS, to reduce overall system cost.
The MLX90401 provides commutation from Hall-effect sensors, and can be configured for motors with 60°
or 120° sensor electrical phasing, by means of a select pin.
Undervoltage lockout is provided.

7.3 Commutation decoding and output control logic
An internal digital circuit converts the signals from the Hall-effect position sensors into the proper
sequencing of top and bottom drive outputs.
60° or 120° sensor electrical phasing can be selected by an external pin (60°/120° Select, pin 11).
The Forward/Reverse input (pin 6) is used to change the direction of motor rotation.
If the /Brake input (pin 9) is pulled low, bottom drivers are turned on, while top drivers are turned off, thus
braking the motor.
These six inputs all have internal pull-up resistors (3.3kΩ to 5V).
Inputs 60°/120° Select, Fwd/Rev and /Brake are debounced to make sure that the device doesn’t enter the
wrong state, due to noise and/or spikes.
The fact that these signals are debounced, also means that there is a delay in these signals. Whenever one
of the external signals that are debounced is changed, it takes time till the outputs change accordingly (ca.
25ms for the 60°/120° Select and Fwd/Rev inputs, ca. 3ms for /Brake).
After start-up, the outputs are disabled for a given time, in order to provide for the time necessary for the
debouncing circuits on 60°/120° Select and Fwd/Rev to settle and output the correct signal.
(/Brake is debounced with a shorter time so settles a lot sooner.)
7.4 Oscillator
The frequency of the internal sawtooth oscillator is set by the values selected for timing components ROSC
and COSC (see Figure 4 : Typical application). Capacitor COSC is charged from the Reference Output (Pin 2)
through Resistor ROSC and discharged by an internal discharge transistor. The ratio of the ramp peak and
valley voltages referred to the Reference Output voltage are typically 0.65V and 0.3V respectively. To
provide a good compromise between audible noise and output switching efficiency, an oscillator frequency
in the range of 20 to 30 kHz is recommended.
7.5 Disable
Pin 7, Speed Adjust Input/Disable, is to be connected to an external potentiometer, used to set motor
speed.
The input can also be used as a Disable input, turning off all output drivers. This Disable input can be used
in many ways. A thermal switch could be used to provide thermal protection. Or a Hall switch could be used
to provide protection against overcurrent, etc.
Disable has a higher priority than /Brake. If for instance Disable is active, braking will not have any effect. If
/Brake is active at the moment that Disable is made active, all braking will be stopped.

7.6 Pulse width modulation
The use of pulse width modulation (PWM) provides an energy efficient method of controlling the motor
speed by varying the average voltage applied to each stator winding during the commutation sequence. As
COSC discharges, the oscillator allows conduction of the top and bottom drive outputs. The PWM
comparator terminates the bottom drive output conduction when the positive-going ramp of COSC becomes
greater than the Speed Adjust Input. In order to minimize dissipation in the internal diodes of the external
top switch transistors, due to free-wheeling currents, the PWM acts also on the top FET, by turning it on
when the corresponding bottom FET is off. The pulse width modulator timing diagram is shown below.
(Braking of the motor does not depend on the PWM setting. It is always done at 100%.)
PWM Timing Diagram (note 1)
RC Input
VSpeed Input
Osc
Top Drive
Output
Bottom Drive
Output
Note 1. Top and Bottom Drive Output Diagrams assume
commutation logic gives 1 for bottom switch and 0 for top
switch. In case the commutation logic gives 0 for bottom
switch and 1 for top switch, the PWM does not act on them.
Figure 3: PWM timing diagram
7.7 Drive outputs
The bottom drivers consist of a push-pull driver between the 12V reference voltage and ground.
The top drivers use an improved push-pull architecture to guarantee proper drive of the top FETs. Because
the top driver utilizes a bootstrap/charge pump combination, use of only N-channel power FETs for the
three-phase bridge is possible. This leads to a reduced system cost.
Internal charge pumps precharge the boost capacitors to ensure full drive of upper power FETs at start-up.
During normal operation, boost is maintained with an external diode and capacitor. The charge pumps
compensate for potential leakage currents, in order to ensure that the upper power FETs are driven
properly at all time.

7.8 Undervoltage lockout
Should the voltage level on VDD drop below the undervoltage level, all gate drives will be turned off until the
undervoltage condition disappears, to prevent improper drive of the power FETs.

Figure 4 : Typical application
This example system is powered by a 12V battery.
• DZ1 is a high power zener diode to clamp the battery line when the system is switched off using
SW1: motor M1 could generate a voltage on the power line after shut down, causing the power line
to rise and potentially exceed the maximum rating of the MLX90401. DZ1 prevents this. Its voltage
specification should be chosen a few volt above the maximum rating of the power supply, but
obviously not higher than the absolute maximum rating of the MLX90401. It should be a high power
device since it has to absorb a lot of energy in a short time.
Other components:
• C1 decouples the power line and should be placed as close as possible to the MLX90401.
• R1/C4 are the external RC for the oscillator.
• The VREF line is decoupled with C2 and C3. VREF powers the Hall effect sensors and the speed
potentiometer P1. This signal is filtered using R2/C5 to prevent noise of entering the PWM circuit.
• A thermal switch is connected to the Disable input to protect the system from overheating: if the
temperature exceeds the thermal switch threshold, it switches on, and disables the motor.

9 FAQ
9.1 Bootstrap capacitor selection
When the top side is turned on charge is transferred from the bootstrap capacitor to the gate capacitance of
the N-channel power FET. The bootstrap capacitor value is chosen in function of the gate charge of the Nchannel power FETs used.
The charge on the bootstrap capacitor should be at least 20 times greater than the gate charge of the
power FET.
E.g. for the IRF530 N-channel power FET the total gate charge is specified as 26 nC. Therefore:
Cboot = 20 x Qgate / Vgate = 20 x Qgate / VREF = 20 x 26 nC / 12 V = 43 nF.
A value of 47 nF is chosen.
The maximum voltage drop due to the charge transfer at turn-on is:
dVgate = dq / Cboot = Qgate / Cboot = 26 nC / 47 nF = 553 mV.
Bootstrap capacitors up to 100nF can be applied.
9.2 Motor Noise
The MLX90401 defines its switching sequence based on the Hall input sequence and the state of the
60°/120° Select Input.
A 120° electrical sensor phasing motor operated with a 60° setting will most likely function, but will generate
clearly audible noise. Vice versa a 60° motor will generate noise when operated with a 120° setting.
Changing the setting of 60°/120° Select Input should remove the noise.
See also paragraph 7.9 Logic table for an explanation how to find out if a motor has 60° or 120° electrical
sensor phasing, and how to connect the phases to the MLX90401 Hall sensor inputs.
