The HVC 5X Series from TDK Corporation are Automotive-Qualified Motor Controllers that have been designed to drive brushless DC (BLDC), brushed DC (BDC), and stepper motors. They require an input voltage of 6-18 V and an input current of 15 mA (peripherals). These controllers are optimized to offer a compact form-factor, lower cost, and fewer external components compared to HVC 4X Series. They consist of an ARM Cortex-M3 CPU-based microcontroller, a 32 KB flash, 2 KB EEPROM, oscillators, voltage regulator, A/D converter, integrated bridges, D/A converter, BEMF comparators, and protection circuitries. These AEC-Q100 Grade 1-qualified motor controllers include several GPIO pins and reduced pins for internal supplies, minimizing bill of materials (BOM). They use 12-bit pulse width modulated (PWM) generators to generate the desired high-precision input waveform for motor control. 

These motor drivers support additional features such as differential input channels, digital timers, capture-compare units, and an SPI master interface to further enhance the precision required to control the motors. They also come in a demo board where solder jumpers can be configured to drive BLDC, BDC, or stepper motors using built-in half bridges. These controllers are equipped with temperature sensors to detect over-temperature conditions and help shut down the ICs. Two 8-bit DACs are also employed to limit the drive current. These motor drivers are available in thermally-enhanced surface-mount packages that measure 5 x 5 mm.
