DRV8303
SLOS846C – SEPTEMBER 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016
DRV8303 Three-Phase Gate Driver With Dual-Current Shunt Amplifiers
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The DRV8303 is a gate driver IC for three-phase
motor-drive applications. The device provides three
half bridge drivers, each capable of driving two Nchannel MOSFETs. The device supports up to 1.7-A
source and 2.3-A peak current capability. The
DRV8303 can operate off of a single power supply
with a wide range from 6-V to 60-V. It uses a
bootstrap gate-driver architecture with trickle charge
circuitry to support 100% duty cycle. The DRV8303
uses automatic hand shaking when the high-side or
low-side MOSFET is switching to prevent current
shoot through. Integrated VDS sensing of the highside and low-side MOSFETs is used to protect the
external power stage against overcurrent conditions.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8303 is a 6-V to 60-V, gate driver IC for three-phase motor drive applications. This device reduces
external component count by integrating three half-bridge drivers and two current shunt amplifiers. The DRV8303
provides overcurrent, over-temperature, and undervoltage protection. Fault conditions are indicated through the
nFAULT and nOCTW pins in addition to the SPI registers.
Adjustable dead time control and peak gate drive current allows for finely tuning the switching of the external
MOSFETs. Internal hand shaking is used to prevent through current.
VDS sensing of the external MOSFETs allows for the DRV8303 to detect overcurrent conditions and respond
appropriately. Individual MOSFET overcurrent conditions are reported through the SPI status registers.

7.3 Feature Description
The following sections describe the DRV8303 features.
7.3.1 Three-Phase Gate Driver
The half-bridge drivers use a bootstrap configuration with a trickle charge pump to support 100% duty cycle
operation. Each half-bridge is configured to drive two N-channel MOSFETs, one for the high-side and one for the
low-side. The half-bridge drivers can be used in combination to drive a 3-phase motor or separately to drive
various other loads.
The peak gate drive current and internal dead times are adjustable to accommodate a variety of external
MOSFETs and applications. The peak gate drive current is set through a register setting and the dead time is
adjusted with an external resistor on the DTC pin. Shorting the DTC pin to ground will provide the minimum dead
time (50 ns). There is an internal hand shake between the high side and low side MOSFETs during switching
transitions to prevent current shoot through.
The three-phase gate driver can provide up to 30 mA of average gate drive current. This will support switching
frequencies up to 200 kHz when the MOSFET Qg = 25 nC.
Each MOSFET gate driver has a VDS sensing circuit for overcurrent protection. The sense circuit measures the
voltage from the drain to the source of the external MOSFETs while the MOSFET is enabled. This voltage is
compared against the programmed trip point to determine if an overcurrent event has occurred. The high-side
sense is between the PVDD1 and SH_X pins. The low-side sense is between the SH_X and SL_X pins.
Ensuring a differential, low impedance connection to the external MOSFETs for these lines will help provide
accurate VDS sensing.
The DRV8303 allows for both 6-PWM and 3-PWM control through a register setting.

7.3.2 Current Shunt Amplifiers
The DRV8303 includes two high performance current shunt amplifiers to accurate low-side, inline current
measurement.
The current shunt amplifiers have 4 programmable GAIN settings through the SPI registers. These are 10, 20,
40, and 80 V/V.
They provide output offset up to 3 V to support bidirectional current sensing. The offset is set to half the voltage
on the reference pin (REF).
To minimize DC offset and drift over temperature a calibration method is provided through either the DC_CAL pin
or SPI register. When DC calibration is enabled, the device will short the input of the current shunt amplifier and
disconnect the load. DC calibration can be done at any time, even during MOSFET switching, because the load
is disconnected. For the best results, perform the DC calibration during the switching OFF period, when no load
is present, to reduce the potential noise impact to the amplifier.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the output of the current shunt amplifier.

7.3.3 Protection Features
The DRV8303 provides a broad range of protection features and fault condition reporting. The DRV8303 has
undervoltage and over-temperature protection for the IC. It also has overcurrent and undervoltage protection for
the MOSFET power stage. In fault shut down conditions all gate driver outputs will be held low to ensure the
external MOSFETs are in a high impedance state.
7.3.3.1 Power Stage Protection
The DRV8303 provides over-current and undervoltage protection for the MOSFET power stage. During fault shut
down conditions, all gate driver outputs will be kept low to ensure external FETs at high impedance state.
7.3.3.2 Overcurrent Protection (OCP) and Reporting
To protect the power stage from damage due to excessive currents, VDS sensing circuitry is implemented in the
DRV8303. Based on the RDS(on) of the external MOSFETs and the maximum allowed IDS, a voltage threshold
can be determined to trigger the overcurrent protection features when exceeded. The voltage threshold is
programmed through the SPI registers. Overcurrent protection should be used as a protection scheme only; it is
not intended as a precise current regulation scheme. There can be up to a 20% tolerance across channels for
the VDS trip point.
VDS = IDS × RDS(ON)
(2)
The VDS sense circuit measures the voltage from the drain to the source of the external MOSFET while the
MOSFET is enabled. The high-side sense is between the PVDD and SH_X pins. The low-side sense is between
the SH_X and SL_X pins. Ensuring a differential, low impedance connection to the external MOSFETs for these
lines will help provide accurate VDS sensing .
There are four different overcurrent modes (OC_MODE) that can be set through the SPI registers. The OC status
bits operate in latched mode. When an overcurrent condition occurs the corresponding OC status bit will latch in
the DRV8303 registers until the fault is reset.
1. Current Limit Mode: In current limit mode the device uses current limiting instead of device shutdown during
an overcurrent event. In this mode the device reports overcurrent events through the nOCTW pin. The
nOCTW pin will be held low for a maximum 64-µs period (internal timer) or until the next PWM cycle. If
another overcurrent event is triggered from another MOSFET, during a previous overcurrent event, the
reporting will continue for another 64-µs period (internal timer will restart) or until both PWM signals cycle.
The associated status bit will be asserted for the MOSFET in which the overcurrent was detected. There are
two current control settings in current limit mode. These are set by one bit in the SPI registers. The default
mode is cycle by cycle (CBC).
– Cycle-By-Cycle Mode (CBC): In CBC mode, the MOSFET on which overcurrent has been detected on
will shut off until the next PWM cycle.
– Off-Time Control Mode: In Off-Time mode, the MOSFET in which overcurrent has been detected is
disabled for a 64-µs period (set by internal timer). If overcurrent is detected in another MOSFET, the timer
will be reset for another 64-µs period and both MOSFETs will be disabled for the duration. During this
period, normal operation can be restored for a specific MOSFET with a corresponding PWM cycle.
2. OC Latch Shut Down Mode: When an overcurrent event occurs, both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs
will be disabled in the corresponding half-bridge. The nFAULT pin, nFAULT status bit, and OC status bit for
the MOSFET in which the overcurrent was detected will latch until the fault is reset through the
GATE_RESET bit or a quick EN_GATE reset pulse.
3. Report Only Mode: No protective action will be taken in this mode when an overcurrent event occurs. The
overcurrent event will be reported through the nOCTW pin (64-µs pulse) and SPI status register. The
external MCU should take action based on its own control algorithm.
4. OC Disable Mode: The device will ignore and not report all overcurrent detections.
7.3.3.3 Undervoltage Protection (UVLO)
To protect the power output stage during start-up, shutdown, and other possible undervoltage conditions, the
DRV8303 provides undervoltage protection by driving the gate drive outputs (GH_X, GL_X) low whenever PVDD
or GVDD are below their undervoltage thresholds (PVDD_UV/GVDD_UV). This will put the external MOSFETs in
a high impedance state. When the device is in PVDD_UV it will not respond to SPI commands and the SPI
registers will revert to their default settings.

DRV8303
SLOS846C – SEPTEMBER 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016
www.ti.com
A specific PVDD undervoltage transient brownout from 13 to 15 µs can cause the DRV8303 to become
unresponsive to external inputs until a full power cycle. The transient condition consists of having PVDD greater
than the PVDD_UV level and then PVDD dropping below the PVDD_UV level for a specific period of 13 to 15 µs.
Transients shorter or longer than 13 to 15 µs will not affect the normal operation of the undervoltage protection.
Additional bulk capacitance can be added to PVDD to reduce undervoltage transients.
7.3.3.4 Overvoltage Protection (GVDD_OV)
The device will shut down both the gate driver and charge pump if the GVDD voltage exceeds the GVDD_OV
threshold to prevent potential issues related to the GVDD pin or the charge pump (for example, short of external
GVDD cap or charge pump). The fault is a latched fault and can only be reset through a reset transition on the
EN_GATE pin.
7.3.3.5 Overtemperature Protection
A two-level over-temperature detection circuit is implemented:
• Level 1: overtemperature warning (OTW)
OTW is reported through nOCTW pin (over-current-temperature warning) for default setting. OCTW pin can
be set to report OTW or OCW only through SPI command. See SPI Register section.
• Level 2: overtemperature (OT) latched shut down of gate driver and charge pump (OTSD_GATE)
Fault will be reported to nFAULT pin. This is a latched shut down, so gate driver will not be recovered
automatically even OT condition is not present anymore. An EN_GATE reset through pin or SPI
(RESET_GATE) is required to recover gate driver to normal operation after temperature goes below a preset
value, tOTSD_CLR.
SPI operation is still available and register settings will be remaining in the device during OTSD operation as long
as PVDD is still within defined operation range.
7.3.3.6 Fault and Protection Handling
The nFAULT pin indicates an error event with shut down has occurred such as over-current, over-temperature,
overvoltage, or undervoltage. Note that nFAULT is an open-drain signal. nFAULT will go high when gate driver is
ready for PWM signal (internal EN_GATE goes high) during start up.
The nOCTW pin indicates overcurrent event and over temperature event that not necessary related to shut
down.

7.3.4 Start-Up and Shutdown Sequence Control
During power up, all gate drive outputs are held low. Normal operation of gate driver and current shunt amplifiers
can be initiated by toggling EN_GATE from a low state to a high state. If no errors are present, the DRV8303 is
ready to accept PWM inputs. Gate driver always has control of the power FETs even in gate disable mode as
long as PVDD is within functional region.
There is an internal diode from SDO to VDD_SPI, so VDD_SPI is required to be powered to the same power
level as other SPI devices (if there is any SDO signal from other devices) all the time. VDD_SPI supply should
be powered up first before any signal appears at SDO pin and powered down after completing all
communications at SDO pin.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 EN_GATE
EN_GATE low is used to put gate driver, charge pump, current shunt amplifier, and internal regulator blocks into
a low power consumption mode to save energy. SPI communication is not supported during this state. Device
will put the MOSFET output stage to high impedance mode as long as PVDD is still present.
When EN_GATE pin goes to high, it will go through a power-up sequence, and enable gate driver, current
amplifiers, charge pump, internal regulator, and so forth, and reset all latched faults related to gate driver block. It
will also reset status registers in SPI table. All latched faults can be reset when EN_GATE is toggled after an
error event unless the fault is still present.
When EN_GATE goes from high to low, it will shut down gate driver block immediately, so gate output can put
external FETs in high impedance mode. It will then wait for 10us before completely shutting down the rest of the
blocks. A quick fault reset mode can be done by toggling EN_GATE pin for a very short period (less than 10 µs).
This will prevent device to shut down other function blocks such as charge pump and internal regulators and
bring a quicker and simple fault recovery. SPI will still function with such a quick EN_GATE reset mode.
The other way to reset all the faults is to use SPI command (RESET_GATE), which will only reset gate driver
block and all the SPI status registers without shutting down other function blocks.
One exception is to reset a GVDD_OV fault. A quick EN_GATE quick fault reset or SPI command reset does not
work with GVDD_OV fault. A complete EN_GATE with low level holding longer than 10µS is required to reset
GVDD_OV fault. TI highly recommends inspecting the system and board when GVDD_OV occurs.
7.4.2 DTC
Dead time can be programmed through DTC pin. A resistor should be connected from DTC to ground to control
the dead time. Dead time control range is from 50 ns to 500 ns. Short DTC pin to ground will provide minimum
dead time (50 ns). Resistor range is 0 kΩ to 150 kΩ. Dead time is linearly set over this resistor range.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Current shoot through prevention protection will be enabled in the device all time independent of dead time
setting and input mode setting.
7.4.3 VDD_SPI
VDD_SPI is the power supply to power SDO pin. It must be connected to the same power supply (3.3V or 5V)
that MCU uses for its SPI operation.
During power up or down transient, VDD_SPI pin could be zero voltage shortly. During this period, no SDO
signal should be present at SDO pin from any other devices in the system because it causes a parasitic diode in
the DRV8303 conducting from SDO to VDD_SPI pin as a short. This should be considered and prevented from
system power sequence design.
7.4.4 DC_CAL
When DC_CAL is enabled, device will short inputs of shunt amplifier and disconnect from the load, so external
microcontroller can do a DC offset calibration. DC offset calibration can be also done with SPI command. If using
SPI exclusively for DC calibration, the DC_CAL pin can connected to GND.

The DRV8303 SPI operates as a slave. The SPI input (SDI) data format consists of a 16 bit word with 1
read/write bit, 4 address bits, and 11 data bits. The SPI output (SDO) data format consists of a 16 bit word with 1
frame fault bit, 4 address bits, and 11 data bits. When a frame is not valid, frame fault bit will set to 1 and the
remaining bits will shift out as 0.
A

valid frame must meet following conditions:
Clock must be low when nSCS goes low.
Should have 16 full clock cycles.
Clock must be low when nSCS goes high.
When nSCS is asserted high, any signals at the SCLK and SDI pins are ignored and SDO is forced into a high
impedance state. When nSCS transitions from HIGH to LOW, SDO is enabled and the SDO response word
loads into the shift register based on the previous SPI input word.
The SCLK pin must be low when nSCS transitions low. While nSCS is low, at each rising edge of the clock the
response word is serially shifted out on the SDO pin with the MSB shifted out first.
While SCS is low, at each falling edge of the clock the new input word is sampled on the SDI pin. The SPI input
word is decoded to determine the register address and access type (read or write). The MSB will be shifted in
first. Any amount of time may pass between bits, as long as nSCS stays active low. This allows two 8-bit words
to be used. If the input word sent to SDI is less than 16 bits or more than 16 bits, it is considered a frame error. If
it is a write command, the data will be ignored. The fault bit in the next SDO response word will then report 1.
After the 16th clock cycle or when nSCS transitions from LOW to HIGH, the SDI shift register data is transferred
into a latch where the input word is decoded.
For a READ command (Nth cycle) sent to SDI, SDO will respond with the data at the specified address in the
next cycle. (N+1)
For a WRITE command (Nth cycle) sent to SDI, SDO will respond with the data in Status Register 1 (0x00) in the
next cycle (N+1). This feature is intended to maximize SPI communication efficiency when having multiple write
commands.
7.5.1.2 SPI Format
The SDI input data word is 16 bits long and consists of:
• 1 read/write bit W [15]
• 4 address bits A [14:11]
• 11 data bits D [10:0]
The SDO output data word is 16 bits long and consists of:
• 1 fault frame bit F [15]
• 4 address bits A [14:11]
• 11 data bits D [10:0]
The SDO output word (Nth cycle) is in response to the previous SDI input word (N-1 cycle).
Therefore each SPI Query/Response pair requires two full 16 bit shift cycles to complete.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The DRV8303 is a gate driver designed to drive a 3-phase BLDC motor in combination with external power
MOSFETs. The device provides a high level of integration with three half-bridge gate drivers, two current shunt
amplifier, and overcurrent protection.
8.1.1 Gate Driver Power-Up Sequencing Errata
The DRV8301 gate drivers may not correctly power up if a voltage greater than 8.5 V is present on any SH_X pin
when EN_GATE is brought logic high (device enabled) after PVDD power is applied (PVDD1 > PVDD_UV). This
sequence should be avoided by ensuring the voltage levels on the SH_X pins are less than 8.5 V when the
DRV8301 is enabled through EN_GATE.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Gate Drive Average Current Load
The gate drive supply (GVDD) of the DRV8303 can deliver up to 30 mA (RMS) of current to the external power
MOSFETs. Use Equation 3 to determine the approximate RMS load on the gate drive supply:
Gate Drive RMS Current = MOSFET Qg × Number of Switching MOSFETs × Switching Frequency
(3)
Example:
7.83 mA = 29 nC × 6 × 45 kHz
(4)
This is a rough approximation only.
8.2.2.2 Overcurrent Protection Setup
The DRV8303 provides overcurrent protection for the external power MOSFETs through the use of VDS monitors
for both the high side and low side MOSFETs. These are intended for protecting the MOSFET in overcurrent
conditions and not for precise current regulation.
The overcurrent protection works by monitoring the VDS voltage of the external MOSFET and comparing it
against the OC_ADJ_SET register value. If the VDS exceeds the OC_ADJ_SET value the DRV8303 takes action
according to the OC_MODE register.
Overcurrent Trip = OC_ADJ_SET / MOSFET RDS(on)
(5)
Example:
26.17 A = 0.123 V / 4.7 mΩ
(6)
MOSFET RDS(on) changes with temperature and this will affect the overcurrent trip level.
8.2.2.3 Sense Amplifier Setup
The DRV8303 provides two bidirectional low-side current shunt amplifiers. These can be used to sense a sum of
the three half-bridges, two of the half-bridges individually, or in conjunction with an additional shunt amplifier to
sense all three half-bridges individually.
1. Determine the peak current that the motor will demand (IMAX). This will be dependent on the motor
parameters and your specific application. I(MAX) in this example is 14 A.
2. Determine the available voltage range for the current shunt amplifier. This will be ± half of the amplifier

reference voltage (VREF). In this case the available range is ±1.65 V.
3. Determine the sense resistor value and amplifier gain settings. There are common tradeoffs for both the
sense resistor value and amplifier gain. The larger the sense resistor value, the better the resolution of the
half-bridge current. This comes at the cost of additional power dissipated from the sense resistor. A larger
gain value will allow you to decrease the sense resistor, but at the cost of increased noise in the output
signal. This example uses a 0.01-Ω sense resistor and the minimum gain setting of the DRV8303 (10 V/V).
These values allow the current shunt amplifiers to measure ±16.5 A (some additional margin on the 14-A
requirement).

9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 Bulk Capacitance
Having appropriate local bulk capacitance is an important factor in motor drive system design. It is generally
beneficial to have more bulk capacitance, while the disadvantages are increased cost and physical size.
The amount of local capacitance needed depends on a variety of factors, including:
• The highest current required by the motor system
• The capacitance of the power supply and its ability to source or sink current
• The amount of parasitic inductance between the power supply and motor system
• The acceptable voltage ripple
• The type of motor used (brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper)
• The motor braking method
The inductance between the power supply and motor drive system will limit the rate current can change from the
power supply. If the local bulk capacitance is too small, the system will respond to excessive current demands or
dumps from the motor with a change in voltage. When adequate bulk capacitance is used, the motor voltage
remains stable and high current can be quickly supplied.
The data sheet generally provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to determine the
appropriate sized bulk capacitor.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Use these layout recommendations when designing a PCB for the DRV8303.
• The DRV8303 makes an electrical connection to GND through the PowerPAD. Always check to ensure that
the PowerPAD has been properly soldered (see PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package).
• PVDD bypass capacitors should be placed close to their corresponding pins with a low impedance path to
device GND (PowerPAD).
• GVDD bypass capacitor should be placed close its corresponding pin with a low impedance path to device
GND (PowerPAD).
• AVDD and DVDD bypass capacitors should be placed close to their corresponding pins with a low impedance
path to the AGND pin. It is preferable to make this connection on the same layer.
• AGND should be tied to device GND (PowerPAD) through a low impedance trace/copper fill.
• Add stitching vias to reduce the impedance of the GND path from the top to bottom side.
• Try to clear the space around and underneath the DRV8303 to allow for better heat spreading from the
PowerPAD.
