3 Description
The DRV7308 is a three-phase intelligent power
module (IPM) that consists of 205mΩ, 650V e-mode
Gallium-Nitride (GaN) for driving three-phase BLDC/
PMSM motors up to 450V DC rails. The applications
include field-oriented control (FOC), sinusoidal current
control, and trapezoidal (six step) current control of
BLDC motors. The device helps to achieve more
than 99% efficiency for a 3-phase modulated, FOCdriven,
250W motor drive application in a QFN 12mm
x 12mm package at 20kHz switching frequency,
eliminating the need for heat sink. The device helps
to achieve ultra quiet operation, with very low dead
time. The integrated bootstrap rectifier with bootstrap
current limit eliminates the need for an external
bootstrap diode.
