ABSTRACT:
A switching scheme for driving a three-phase DC motor includes a first end of a first coil 20 coupled to a first end of a second coil 22 and a first end of a third coil 24. A first high side transistor 32 is coupled between a voltage source and a second end of the first coil 20. A second high side transistor 34 is coupled between the voltage source and a second end of the second coil 22. A third high side transistor 36 is coupled between the voltage source and a second end of the third coil 24. A first low side transistor 38 is coupled between the second end of the first coil 20 and a resistor 56. A second low side transistor 40 is coupled between the second end of the second coil 22 and the resistor 56. A third low side transistor 42 is coupled between the second end of the third coil 24 and the resistor 56. An output of a first low side driver 26 is coupled to a gate of the first low side transistor 38. An output of a second low side driver 28 is coupled to a gate of the second low side transistor 40. An output of a third low side driver 30 is coupled to a gate of the third low side transistor 42. A low side reference voltage is coupled to a first input of each of the three low side drivers 26, 28, and 30. The resistor 56 is coupled to a second input of each of the low side drivers 26, 28, and 30. Pre-charge circuitry 64 is coupled to the output of each of the three low side drivers 26, 28, and 30. The pre-charge circuitry 64 provides a pre-charge signal to each of the three low side drivers 26, 28, and 30.
