BLDC motor driver IC features easy setup

The DRV10983 12- to 24-V, sinusoidal, sensorless, brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver gives users the ability to quickly tune their motors for reliable start-up and optimal performance. It provides 2 A continuous drive current (3-A peak) and its 180-degree sinusoidal technology makes the motor up to 75% quieter than other solutions.  

It features code-free configurability, can tune a wide range of motors through simple register settings, and uses back-EMF current sensing. The ICs advanced protection includes over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, shoot-through, under-voltage lock-out, and advanced five-stage rotor lock sensing. The motor can be controlled directly through PWM, analog, or I² C inputs. The DRV10983 comes in a 8 x 6 mm HTSSOP24 package and is priced from $1.19 ea/1,000.
