INTRODUCTION
The DB64R is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the SA306 3 phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor driver
IC. This fully assembled demonstration allows the user to directly control the speed and direction of the motor. An
onboard controller decodes HALL Effect sensor inputs for commutation in either direction and provides four quad-
rant PWM signals to control the power outputs of the SA306. LEDs provide feedback for motor control status and
fault indications. Provisions on the DB64R allow the user to bypass the onboard control circuit and directly interface
with the SA306 brushless motor driver.
The DB64R demonstrates proper layout techniques for the
SA306 high current switching amplifier. The economical con-
struction uses only a two-sided PCB and allows the SA306
to deliver peak currents of over 1kW.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The SA306 is available in a surface mount package which
can deliver peak power of over 1kW. This presents an obvi-
ous and significant thermal challenge. The DB64R offers a
compact design which can deliver 17A peak current by using
a patent pending mounting technique. Mounting the SA306
in an inverted fashion as shown in Figure 1 reduces the pro-
file height of the assembly and provides a direct interface
between the thermal tab of the PowerQuad package (pack-
age outline drawing HQ) and the small HS33 heatsink. The
DB64R assembly can dissipate 7-9W in still air at 25ºC ambi-
ent temperature, depending on the orientation of the heatsink
fins. To use the DB64R in higher power applications, use a
fan or mount a heatsink with larger thermal mass. Although
the SA306 is rated for operation from -25 to +85ºC, the other
components on the DB64R are limited to 0 to 70ºC ambient
temperature.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The DB64R control circuit receives power via two terminal
block connections. The Vs connection supplies power to
drive the motor and must be above the under-voltage lock-
out threshold of the SA306, approximately 8.3V. The control
circuit requires 12V for proper operation a regulator on the
DB64R provides the 5V logic supply for the SA306. There
are no special considerations for sequencing the two sup-
plies.

... SA306. Push-button switches 1 and 2 trigger latches (U4) for direction and enable control, respectively. Diodes D7 & D8 and resistors R24, 25, 29 & 30 provide a means of bypassing the DB64R control circuit. The 5V regulator, U3, provides 5V to the SA306, the latches and the status LEDs. ...

... Connector J4 is connected directly to the PWM input pins of the SA306. This connector may be used to monitor the signals or to bypass the control IC on the DB64R. The enable function is not controlled via these pins, although pulling all six input pins low provides the same effect. The Enable pushbutton and the connection via J5 are also effective as previously described ...
