Which brushless DC motor drivers are available? 

Infineon offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers, with multiple levels of functional integration to meet diverse design needs. Each product tier delivers distinct advantages:

  • MOTIX™ Driver | Gate driver ICs
    For voltage ranges from 12 V to 60 V, these high-performance gate driver ICs deliver maximum flexibility and efficiency for BLDC motor control.
  • MOTIX™ SBC | Motor system ICs
    These highly integrated solutions to drive a brushless dc motor combine a 3‑phase gate driver, power supply, and communication interfaces (CAN FD and LIN) in a single device.
  • MOTIX™ MCU | Motor control SoCs and SiPs
    Integrating an Arm® Cortex®‑M microcontroller, power supply, communication (LIN or CAN FD), and the driver stage for brushless DC motors — all on a single die or in one package — these devices provide a compact solution.
  • MOTIX™ Software: Qualified according to industry standards some of our SW can be licensed for productive use. The portfolio comprises MOTIX™ MCU peripheral driver, AUTOSAR Complex Device Driver and Motor Control Software.

What types of BLDC motor drivers are tailored for automotive applications?

The number of brushless motors in modern cars is on the rise. On one hand, BLDC motors are replacing traditional DC motors due to their improved durability and reduced noise. Furthermore, the growing trend of e-mobility is driving the increased adoption of BLDC motors for applications such as cooling and HVAC systems. Additionally, innovative system approaches like by-wire systems are also contributing to the rising demand for safe and reliable electric components for BLDC motor control .

Typical brushless DC motor applications for automotive include:

  • Safety & chassis: Electric power steering and braking
  • Thermal management: Pumps, valves and fans
  • Powertrain: MHEV starter generator or transfer case

Trend to brushless motors can be seen as well in automotive body electronics

  • Comfort & convenience: Seat and door control module, closure systems
  • Body control unit for xxx
  • Zone control unit for xxx

Depending on your application requirements, you can choose the ideal automotive qualified BLDC driver solution for your application:

12 V motor control in automotive applications
48 V motor control in automotive applications
