The SparkFun Brushless Motor Driver – 3-Phase (TMC6300) is a robust and user-friendly three-phase motor driver, equipped with the TMC6300 from ADI + Trinamic. This device was specifically designed to manage the Brushless Gimbal Motor. It is versatile enough to control any 3-phase BLDC or PMSM motor, with a total drive current of up to 2 A (1.4A_RMS).

The driver allows for separate high-side and low-side control of the three half-bridges, which results in exceptional control of each phase of the motor commutation. It also incorporates temperature and short circuit protections, along with a diagnostic output to indicate system faults.

The TMC6300 operates with a 1.8 V regulated power output and can function with an operating voltage as low as 2 V. This makes it an ideal choice for low-power microcontroller and battery-powered designs, requiring a minimum of two AA/NiMh cells, or one to two Li-Ion cells.

Please note that the TMC6300 requires a minimum of two AA/NiMh cells, or one to two Li-Ion cells for operation.
