This brushless DC (BLDC) motor reference design controls an automotive HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) compressor by using the UCC27712-Q1 high-side and low-side gate driver followed by discrete insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) half bridges. This reference design uses TI's InstaSPIN software with a three-phase motor control algorithm, which the designer can enable using special libraries in the read-only memory (ROM) of Piccolo microcontrollers (MCUs) and provides expert tools to designers of sensorless (velocity and torque) motor control applications.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
