I want to use nmos to drive a brushless motor but not quite understand it. I read a lot out there but still a bit confused.
My confusion is the charging and discharging of the bootstrap capacitor. My understanding is that you have to turn on the lower mosfet, give it a little time to charge before you turn on the top mosfet on.
For a 3 phase brushless motor, I will use 3 high side low side driver, so do I charge all 3 bootstrap capacitor at once??
So correct me if im wrong:
If I have 3 half bridge, call it A (A high and A low), B (B high and B low), C (C high and C low), and the sequence for the motor is lets say (just making it up)
A-high, C-Low
B-high, C-Low
First I would have to
1 ) turn A-low on because first state is to turn on A-high and it needs to get its voltage higher.
2) Then wait for like 10ms.
3) Turn off A-low.
4) Now I can turn on A high, and C low.
5) Now next state is B-high and C low so I would have to turn on B low to charge.
6) turn off B low
7) now B high should be able to turn on.
