This design includes the architecture of processor MCU + half-bridge driver + MOSFET + current amplifier circuit + current detection circuit + protection unit. The advantage is that different materials and specifications can be flexibly selected to achieve higher power and better temperature rise. The disadvantage is that the material cost is high, and the PCB area is limited by the motor size. For example, for a 48mm/60mm motor, the internal clearance diameter of the stator is about 25mm/30mm, resulting in only a 23mm/30mm wide area for component layout in the design, which is hard for engineer to layout.
