The MCF8316D is a 4.5V to 35V, 8A peak integrated three-phase gate driver IC with code-free sensorless field oriented control (FOC) for motor drive applications. It provides three accurately trimmed and temperature compensated half-bridge MOSFETS, gate drivers, charge pump, thre current sense amplifiers, a linear regulator for the external load and an adjustable buck regulator.

The internal sensorless FOC algorithm register configuration can be stored in non-volatile EEPROM enabling the device to operate stand-alone once the algorithm has been configured. The device can receive a speed command through a PWM input, analog voltage, variable frequency square wave, or I2C command. There are a large number of protection features integrated into the MCF8316, intended to protect the device, motor, and system against fault events.
