Application Information
1. Protection Function
1.1 Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The high- and low-side drivers include under-voltage
lockout (UVLO) protection circuitry for each channel that
monitors the supply voltage (V
tor voltage (V
prevent malfunction when V
than the specified threshold voltage. The UVLO hystere-
sis prevents chattering during power supply transitions.
1.2 Shoot-Through Prevention Function
The FAN7388 has shoot-through prevention circuitry
monitoring the high- and low-side control inputs. It can
be designed to prevent outputs of high and low side from
turning on at same time, as shown Figure 27 and 28.

2. Operational Notes
The FAN7388 is a three half-bridge gate driver with
internal, typical 120ns dead-time for the three-phase
brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive system, as shown in
Figure 1.
Figure 29 shows a switching sequence of 120° electrical
commutation for a three-phase BLDC motor drive system.
The waveforms are idealized: they assumed that the
generated back EMF waveforms are trapezoidal with flat
tops of sufficient width to produce constant torque when
the line currents are perfectly rectangular, 120° electrical
degrees, with the switching sequence as shown in Figure
29. The operating waveforms of the wey-connection
reveal that repeat every 60 electrical degrees, with each
60° segment being “commutated” to another phase, as
shown in Figure 29.
