TMC6100-LA High-Power Gate-Driver

TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG's high-power gate-driver TMC6100 is a compact and cost-effective building block that allows full protection and diagnostics via SPI while achieving high-speed operation with minimized switching losses in the power stage.

With a broad voltage range of 8 V_DC to 60 V_DC and programmable gate current of 0.5 A, 1 A, or 1.5 A, the TMC6100 allows for flexible yet robust designs. Able to drive motors from watt to kilowatt, the gate-driver IC is perfectly suited for industrial drives, factory automation, lab automation, robotics, CNC machines, and finer applications such as surveillance cameras and printers. 

Besides programmable short and overload and in-system EME optimization to reduce electromagnetic interference to the absolute minimum, the TMC6100 offers programmable brake-before-make logic allowing for three or six PWM-channels. With only a few additional components, a standby-mode can be realized for energy savings, making the TMC6100 ideal for battery-powered devices.

Its versatile interface matches simple BLDC drives with minimum requirements on the microcontroller’s PWM and PMSM control algorithms. As such, the compact gate driver chip perfectly mates any microcontroller, as well as TRINAMIC's powerful TMC4671 and TMC8670 FOC controller chips.

The compact QFN package (7 mm²) with double pin distance for high-voltage operation is available now. Fully supported in the company’s modular evaluation system, the gate driver IC is also offered as an evaluation board for quick testing.
