Brushed DC motor (BDC) – controller and driver
Designated solutions to achieve energy and cost efficiency
From home and garden, to power tools, to Automotive: no matter your brushed DC motor application or budget, find the ideal solution in Infineon's broad semiconductor portfolio. You can achieve energy and cost efficiency by selecting one of our designated solutions for the three main types of brushed DC motors. All in proven Infineon quality you can depend on. Find what's best for your application: look through our diverse range of suitable high-quality products. See additional motor control applications here in battery powered applications and home and building.
There are three main types of brushed DC motors: series wound (uni-directional), shunt wound (bi-directional by changing connections) and permanent magnet (bi-directional by reversing current). Powering a set of windings generates a magnetic field in the rotor. The opposing magnetic fields (N-N and S-S) push away from one another creating rotation until the fields align (NS – NS).
CY96800 series is DC and BLDC* Motor controller which incorporates a built-in voltage regulator operable at 12V car battery voltages and including 12V and 5V power supplies, a three-phase motor pre-driver, a charge pump, and a 16-bit CPU based on Cypress's advanced F2MC-16FX architecture.

Example application for brushed DC motor control and drives
Example application for brushed DC motor control and drives (highly integrated)
Key characteristics brushed DC motor
- Easy to control: torque is proportional to current – speed is proportional to voltage
- Moderate efficiency
- Variable speed: fewer external components required than induction or brushless DC motors
- Maintenance necessary as brushes wear out
- Louder than induction motors (EMI and audible)
