A gate driver IC for driving single-phase motors
Supplier:
Nuvoton
Certification:
KA44370A is a gate driver IC for driving single-phase motors. The output stage, which can directly drive an external power MOSFET at 48V, is assembled in a small 4mm x 4mm QFN package, making it possible to mount the IC on a small motor despite the 48V requirement. The motor current waveform can be selected from a sinusoidal or a trapezoidal wave, which is generated by our unique Auto Phase Control technology, achieving low power consumption, low vibration and high airflow with high-speed rotation. A2PRaS (Advanced Auto Phase & Rapid Softswitch) function is also installed which allows the setting of advanced phase in order to achieve even higher speed rotation. It provides optimal motor drive control for a variety of applications. Stable and reliable motor start-up is possible even in the case of mutual interference when multiple fan motors are used, or when reverse rotation takes place due to external airflow.

Evaluation Board
KA44370A single-phase PWM/VSP motor evaluaton board
The KE-KA44370A is an evaluation board (EVB) equipped with pre-driver KA44370A, and external MOSFET drivers. It is capable of driving a single-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor with 1.3A Peak current in 48V DC rails or battery powered applications.
This EVB can be used to verify the functionality of our original technology : Advanced Auto Phase & Rapid Softswitch (A2PRaS) installed in KA44370A.
