The DRV10975 device is a three-phase sensorless motor driver with integrated power MOSFETs, which can provide continuous drive current up to 1.5 A. The device is specifically designed for cost-sensitive, low-noise, low-external-component-count applications.

The DRV10975 device uses a proprietary sensorless control scheme to provide continuous sinusoidal drive, which significantly reduces the pure tone acoustics that typically occur as a result of commutation. The interface to the device is designed to be simple and flexible. The motor can be controlled directly through PWM, analog, or I²C inputs. Motor speed feedback is available through either the FG pin or I²C.

The DRV10975 device features an integrated step-down regulator to efficiently step down the supply voltage to either 5 or 3.3 V for powering both internal and external circuits. The device is available in either a sleep mode or a standby mode version to conserve power when the motor is not running. The standby mode (4.5-mA) version leaves the regulator running and the sleep mode (80-µA) version shuts it off. Use the standby mode version in applications where the regulator is used to power an external microcontroller.

An I²C interface allows the user to reprogram specific motor parameters in registers and program the EEPROM to help optimize the performance for a given application. The DRV10975 device is available in a thermally efficient HTSSOP, 24-pin package with an exposed thermal pad. The operating temperature is specified from –40°C to 125°C.
