Can the STSPIN32G4 be used to drive a brushed motor?

Hello -

I'm wondering if the STSPIN32G4 can be utilized to drive a brushed motor rather than a three-phase brushless motor that it is marketed for. Alternatively, are there any chips within STMicro that are meant for brushed motors that have a combined MCU and gate driver like the STSPIN32G4?

Thank you!

-Shane

Welcome, @Shane Kent​, to the community!

The STSPIN32s are particularly advantageous when all the resources they contain are used, which is the case with three-phase BLDC motors. But of course, all STSPIN32 can also be used for brushed motors, but then one half bridge is unused.

If necessary, the nearest distributor or ST office can help you with the design.

Does it answer your question?
