Brushless DC Drives![]() The brushless DC (BLDC) motor can be envisioned as a brush DC motor turned inside out, where the permanent magnets are on the rotor, and the windings are on the stator. As a result, there are no brushes and commutators in this motor, and all of the disadvantages associated with the sparking of brush DC motors are eliminated. From single chip motor controller to gate driver that can be paired with microcontroller and MOSFETs, TI’s flexible BLDC motor drive and control portfolio enables different levels of acoustics, torque and efficiency performance ideal for industrial, automotive and functional safety applications.
