This document describes the design of a 3-phase BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive based on Freescale’s 56800/E dedicated motor control devices. BLDC motors are very popular in a wide variety of applications. Compared with a DC motor, the BLDC motor uses an electric commutator rather than a mechanical commutator, so it is more reliable than the DC motor. In a BLDC motor, rotor magnets generate the rotor’s magnetic flux, so BLDC motors achieve higher efficiency. Therefore, BLDC motors may be used in high-end white goods (refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, etc.), high-end pumps, fans and in other appliances which require high reliability and efficiency.
