Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited announced the release of the AOZ32063MQV gate driver for BLDC motor applications. Available in a compact, 4mm x 4mm QFN-28L package, the highly integrated AOZ32063MQV is a 3-phase driver IC that offers superior driving ability, programmable deadtime, and sleep mode support. These capabilities deliver high motor operation efficiency and low standby power consumption that can help greatly increase the battery life of cordless power tools and e-mobility applications.

The AOZ32063MQV is also an optimal driver IC solution for 3-phase Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives. The new AOZ32063MQV 3-phase driver IC features multiple advanced protection functions, including input under-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown. With a wide input voltage range from 5V to 60V and supporting 0.8A source and 1A sink driving capability, the AOZ32063MQV also has a wide operating (-40°C to +125°C) ambient temperature range and offers high-side 100% duty.

Technical Highlights: Compact 4x4 QFN-28L package helps component placement and circuit layout. Wide 5V to 60V input voltage range. High side Gate Driver with integrated bootstrap diode and trickle-charge Circuit Supports 100% Duty Cycle Operation.

Adjustable dead-time control. Sleep mode for power saving. Multiple protection functions such as input under-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown.

Fault indicator output. Pricing and Availability: The AOZ32063MQV is immediately available in production quantities with a lead time of 24 weeks. The unit price in 1,000-piece quantities is $1.55.

AOS products are offered in packages with Pb-free plating and are compliant with RoHS standards.
