PRELIMINARY
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• Two Quadrant and Four Quadrant
Operation
The UCC3626 motor controller IC combines many of the functions required to design a high performance, two or four quadrant, 3-phase,
brushless DC motor controller into one package. Rotor position inputs
are decoded to provide six outputs that control an external power stage.
A precision triangle oscillator and latched comparator provide PWM motor control in either voltage or current mode configurations. The oscillator is easily synchronized to an external master clock source via the
SYNCH input. Additionally, a QUAD select input configures the chip to
modulate either the low side switches only, or both upper and lower
switches, allowing the user to minimize switching losses in less demanding two quadrant applications.
• Integrated Absolute Value Current
Amplifier
• Pulse-by-Pulse and Average Current
Sensing
• Accurate, Variable Duty Cycle
Tachometer Output
• Trimmed Precision Reference
• Precision Oscillator
The chip includes a differential current sense amplifier and absolute
value circuit which provide an accurate reconstruction of motor current,
useful for pulse by pulse over current protection as well as closing a
current control loop. A precision tachometer is also provided for implementing closed loop speed control. The TACH_OUT signal is a variable
duty cycle, frequency output which can be used directly for digital control or filtered to provide an analog feedback signal. Other features include COAST, BRAKE, and DIR_IN commands along with a direction
output, DIR_OUT.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
AHI, BHI, CHI: Digital outputs used to control the high
side switches in a three phase inverter. For specific decoding information reference Table I.
DIR_OUT: DIR_OUT represents the actual direction of
the rotor as decoded from the HALLA, B & C inputs. For
any valid combination of HALLA, B &C inputs there are
two valid transitions, one which translates to a clockwise
rotation and another which translates to a counterclockwise rotation. The polarity of DIR_OUT is the same as
DIR_IN while motoring, i.e. sequencing from top to bottom in Table 1.
ALOW, BLOW, CLOW: Digital outputs used to control
the low side switches in a three phase inverter. For specific decoding information reference Table I.
BRAKE: BRAKE is a digital input which causes the device to enter brake mode. In brake mode all three high
side outputs are turned off, AHI, BHI & CHI, while all
three lowside outputs are turned on, ALOW, BLOW,
CLOW. During brake mode the tachometer output remains operational. The only conditions which can inhibit
the low side commands during brake are UVLO, exceeding peak current, the output of the PWM comparator, or the COAST command.
GND: GND is the reference ground for all functions of the
part. Bypass and timing capacitors should be terminated
as close to this point as possible.
HALLA, HALLB, HALLC: These three inputs are designed to accept rotor position information positioned
120° apart. For specific decode information reference Table I. These inputs should be externally pulled-up to
VREF or another appropriate external supply.
COAST: The COAST input consists of a hysteretic comparator which disables the outputs. The input is useful in
implementing an overvoltage bus clamp in four quadrant
applications. The outputs will be disabled when the input
is above 1.75V.
IOUT: IOUT represents the output of the current sense
and absolute value amplifiers. The output signal appearing is a representation of the following expression:
IOUT = ABS (ISENS _ I − ISENS _ NI ) • 5
CT: This pin is used in conjunction with the R_TACH pin
to set the frequency of the oscillator. A timing capacitor
is normally connected between this point and ground
and is alternately charged and discharged between 2.5V
and 7.5V.
This output can be used to close a current control loop as
well as provide additional filtering of the current sense
signal.
OC_REF: OC_REF is an analog input which sets the trip
voltage of the overcurrent comparator. The sense input of
the comparator is internally connected to the output of the
current sense amplifier and absolute value circuit.
C_TACH: A timing capacitor is connected between this
pin and ground to set the width of the TACH_OUT pulse.
The capacitor is charged with a current set by the resistor on pin RT.
PWM_NI: PWM_NI is the noninverting input to the PWM
comparator.
DIR_IN: DIR_IN is a digital input which determines the
order in which the HALLA,B & C inputs are decoded. For
specific decode information reference Table I.
PWM_I: PWM_I is the inverting input to the PWM comparator.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS (cont.)
QUAD: The QUAD input selects between “two” QUAD =
0 and “four” QUAD = 1 quadrant operation. When in
“two-quadrant” mode only the low side devices are effected by the output of the PWM comparator. In
“four-quadrant” mode both high and low side devices are
controlled by the PWM comparator.
TACH_OUT: TACH_OUT is the output of a monostable
triggered by a change in the commutation state, thus providing a variable duty cycle, frequency output. The
on-time of the monostable is set by the timing capacitor
connected to C_TACH. The monostable is capable of being retriggered if a commutation occurs during it's
on-time.
SYNCH: The SYNCH input is used to synchronize the
PWM oscillator with an external digital clock. When using
the SYNCH feature, a resistor equal to RTACH must be
placed in parallel with CT. When not used, ground
SYNCH.
R_TACH: A resistor connected between R_TACH and
ground programs the current for both the oscillator and
tachometer.
VDD: VDD is the input supply connection for this device.
Undervoltage lockout keeps the outputs off for inputs below 10.5V. The input should be bypassed with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, minimum.
SNS_NI, SNS_I: These inputs are the noninverting and
inverting inputs to the current sense amplifier, respectively. The integrated amplifier is configured for a gain of
five. An absolute value function is also incorporated into
the output in order to provide a representation of actual
motor current when operating in four quadrant mode.
VREF: VREF is a 5V, 2% trimmed reference output with
5mA of maximum available output current. This pin
should be bypassed to ground with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor, minimum.

Synchronizing the Oscillator
Oscillator frequency is set by R_TACH and CT according
to the following relationship:
A common system specification is for all oscillators in a
design to be synchronized to a master clock. The
UCC3626 provides a SYNCH input for exactly this purpose. The SYNCH input is designed to interface with a
digital clock pulse generated by the master oscillator. A
positive going edge on this input causes the UCC3626
oscillator to begin discharging. In order for the slave oscillator to function properly it must be programmed for a
frequency slightly lower than that of the master. Also, a
resistor equal to RTACH must be placed in parallel with
CT. Fig. 3 illustrates the waveforms for a slave oscillator
programmed to 20kHz with a master frequency of 30kHz.
The SYNCH pin should be grounded when not used.

Timing resistor values should be between 25kΩ and

for various combinations of timing components. As with
any high frequency oscillator, timing components should
be located as close to the IC pins as possible when laying out the printed circuit board. It is also important to reference the timing capacitor directly to the ground pin on
the UCC3626 rather than daisy chaining it to another
trace or the ground plane. This technique prevents

APPLICATION INFORMATION (cont.)
When configured for two quadrant operation, (QUAD=0),
the UCC3626 will only modulate the low side devices of
the output power stage. The current paths within the output stage during the PWM on and off times are illustrated in Fig. 9. During the 'on' interval, both switches
are on and current flows through the load down to
ground. During the 'off' time, the lower switch is shut off
and the motor current circulates through the upper half
bridge via the flyback diode. The motor is assumed to be
operating in either quadrant I or III.
Two Quadrant vs Four Quadrant Control
Fig. 8 illustrates the four possible quadrants of operation
for a motor. Two quadrant control refers to a system
whose operation is limited to quadrants I and III where
torque and velocity are in the same direction. With a two
quadrant brushless DC amplifier, there are no provisions
other than friction to decelerate the load, limiting the approach to less demanding applications. Four quadrant
controllers, on the other hand, provide controlled operation in all quadrants, including II and IV, where torque and
rotation are of opposite direction.

Power Stage Design Considerations
S3
S1
S5
The flexible architecture of the UCC3626 requires the
user to pay close attention to the design of the power
output stage. Two and Four Quadrant applications that do
not require the brake function are able to utilize the
power stage approach illustrated in Fig. 13A. In many
cases the body diode of the MOSFET can be utilized to
reduce parts count and cost. If efficiency is a key requirement, Schottky diodes can be used in parallel with the
switches.
IPHASE
+ BEMF IOFF
ION

If the system requires a braking function, diodes must be
added in series with the lower power devices and the
lower flyback diodes returned to ground, as pictured in
Fig. 13B,C. This requirement prevents brake currents
from circulating in the lower half bridge and bypassing
the sense resistor. In addition, the combination of braking
and four quadrant control necessitates an additional resistor in the diode path to sense current during the PWM
'off' time as illustrated in Fig. 13C.
Figure 11. Four quadrant reversal.
If one attempts to operate in quadrants II or IV by changing the DIR bit and reversing the torque, switches 1 and 4
are turned off and switches 2 and 3 turned on. Under this
condition motor current will very quickly decay, reverse
direction and increase until the control threshold is
reached. At this point switch 2 will turn off and current will
once again circulate in the upper half bridge, however, in
this case the motor's BEMF is in phase with the current,
i.e. the motor's direction of rotation has not yet changed.
Fig. 10 illustrates the current paths when operating in this
mode. Under these conditions there is nothing to limit the
current other than motor and drive impedance. These
high circulating currents can result in damage to the
power devices in addition to high, uncontrolled torque.
Current Sensing
The UCC3626 includes a differential current sense amplifier with a fixed gain of five, along with an absolute
value circuit. The current sense signal should be low
pass filtered to eliminate leading edge spikes. In order to
maximize performance, the input impedance of the amplifier should be balanced. If the sense voltage must be
trimmed for accuracy reasons, a low value input divider
or a differential divider should be used to maintain impedance matching, as shown in Fig. 14.
With four quadrant chopping motor current always flows
through the sense resistor. However, during the flyback
period the polarity across the sense resistor is reversed.
The absolute value amplifier cancels the polarity reversal
by inverting the negative sense signal during the flyback
time, see Fig. 15. Therefore, the output of the absolute
value amplifier is a reconstructed analog of the motor
current, suitable for protection as well as feedback loop
closure.
By pulse width modulating both the upper and lower
power devices (QUAD=1), motor current will always decay during the PWM “off” time, eliminating any uncontrolled circulating currents. In addition, current will always
flow through the current sense resistor, thus providing a
suitable feedback signal. Fig. 11 illustrates the current
paths during a four quadrant torque reversal. Motor drive

Figure 13. Power stage topologies.
Fig. 16 illustrates a simple 175V, 2A two quadrant velocity
controller using the UCC3626. The power stage is designed to operate with a rectified off-line supply using
IR2210s to provide the interface between the low voltage
control signals and the power MOSFETs. The power topology illustrated in Fig. 13C is implemented in order to
provide braking capability.
The controller's speed command is set by potentiometer
R30 while the speed feedback signal is obtained by low
pass filtering and buffering the TACH-OUT signal using
R11 and C9. Small signal compensation of the velocity
control loop is provided by amplifier U5A, whose output is
used to control the PWM duty cycle. The integrating capacitor, C8, places a pole at 0Hz and a zero in conjunction with R10. This zero can be used to cancel the low
frequency motor pole and cross the loop over with a
–20dB gain response.

Four quadrant applications require the control of motor
current. Fig. 17 illustrates a sign/magnitude current control loop within an outer bipolar velocity loop using the
UCC3626. U1 serves as the velocity loop error amplifier
and accepts a +/-5V command signal. Velocity feedback
is provided by low pass filtering and scaling the
TACH_OUT signal using U2. The direction output,
DIR_OUT, switch and U3 set the polarity of the tachometer gain according to the direction of rotation. The output of the velocity error amplifier, U1, is then converted
to sign/magnitude form using U5 and U6. The sign portion is used to drive the DIR input while the magnitude
commands the current error amplifier, U8. Current feedback is provided by the internal current sense amplifier
via the IOUT pin.
