Description
The A3932 is a three-phase MOSFET con trol ler for use with bipolar brushless DC motors. Its high gate-current drive capability allows driving a wide range of N-channel power MOSFETs and can support motor supply voltages to 50 V. Bootstrapped high-side drive blocks provide the float ing positive supplies for the gate drive and minimize the component count normally required. The high-side cir cuit ry also em ploys a unique FET monitoring circuit that ensures the gate voltages are at the proper levels before turn-on and during the ON cycle.
