ZnO (Zinc Oxide) varistors are non-polar adjustable resistors with instant response capability. When voltage or current exceeds a certain level, the resistance value rapidly decreases, absorbing overvoltage and overcurrent, preventing damage to brushless motors or their related devices. ZnO varistors can be used in brushless motor protection circuits to suppress transient overvoltage, overcurrent, etc., at the motor output end, protecting brushless motors and their related devices. In brushless motor protection circuits, ZnO varistors are usually installed at the motor input or output end, used in conjunction with protection elements like TVS transient suppression diodes to jointly suppress transient impacts of overvoltage and overcurrent. Additionally, to improve the effect of ZnO varistors, the following should be noted: 1. Select appropriate varistor value: According to the operating voltage and current of the brushless motor, select the appropriate varistor value of ZnO varistors. 2. Ensure sufficient power: In brushless motor protection circuits, the power of ZnO varistors should be sufficiently large to prevent device burnout or overload. 3. Optimize circuit layout: During circuit design, optimize circuit layout to reduce electromagnetic interference. 4. Note electrostatic protection: As a type of protection component, ZnO varistors also need electrostatic protection to avoid external static interference causing device damage. In summary, in brushless motor protection circuits, ZnO varistors have important application value, playing a key role in protecting brushless motors and their related devices.

Brushless motors usually use three-phase bridge circuits for driving, and their normal operating voltage and current may produce transient peak overvoltage and current due to various factors such as load changes and magnetic field interference. These transient impacts may cause device damage, such as switching tubes like MOSFETs, IGBTs, or even controllers and microcontrollers. To protect related devices of brushless motors, TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) transient suppression diodes can be used for protection. TVS transient suppression diodes use semiconductor materials, achieving transient suppression function through reverse breakdown of Zener diodes, capable of absorbing overvoltage and overcurrent transient impacts in an extremely short time, effectively protecting brushless motors and their related devices. In brushless motor protection circuits, TVS transient suppression diodes are usually installed at the motor input or output end to suppress transient peak voltage and current. Meanwhile, when installing TVS transient suppression diodes, the following should be noted: 1. Select appropriate voltage level: The voltage level of TVS transient suppression diodes should be slightly higher than the highest operating voltage of the brushless motor. 2. Determine circuit topology: According to the actual situation of the brushless motor, determine the placement position of TVS transient suppression diodes. 3. Strengthen PCB layout design: During circuit design, avoid interlaced arrangement of high noise areas and low noise areas in the circuit to reduce electromagnetic interference. 4. Note protective grounding: When installing TVS transient suppression diodes at the motor input and output ends, prevent external static interference and strengthen protective grounding. The above are some precautions when using TVS transient suppression diodes in brushless motor protection circuits. Reasonable protection circuit design can extend the service life of brushless motors and improve the stability and safety of the entire system.

MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is a semiconductor device consisting of a structure composed of metal, oxide, and semiconductor crystals. Working principle: When a certain voltage is applied to the gate of the MOSFET, an electric field is formed, changing the conductivity of the semiconductor, causing resistance change between source and drain, thereby achieving current modulation and control.

Generally, the static operating point specified by the manufacturer is the most suitable; deviation from the static operating point will affect MOSFET performance. Dynamic parameters refer to the characteristics of the MOSFET in dynamic working state. Maximum drain current is the maximum current the MOSFET can withstand; exceeding this value will cause MOSFET damage. Maximum drain voltage is the maximum voltage the MOSFET can withstand; exceeding this value will cause MOSFET breakdown. Maximum power dissipation is the maximum power the MOSFET can withstand; exceeding this value will cause MOSFET heating or even damage. Switching time refers to the time required for the MOSFET to turn from off to on; duty cycle refers to the ratio of MOSFET off time to total time, which needs special attention in some applications.

MOSFET charge-discharge protection circuits are circuits used to protect the charge-discharge process of MOSFETs. During MOSFET charge-discharge processes, due to the possibility of reverse voltage or current, MOSFET damage or failure may occur. To avoid this situation, charge-discharge protection circuits are needed. Charge-discharge protection circuits can be divided into two types: unidirectional protection circuits and bidirectional protection circuits. Unidirectional protection circuits mainly target reverse voltage or current generated during MOSFET charging, avoiding damage to MOSFETs caused by these reverse voltages or currents by adding components such as diodes. Bidirectional protection circuits can provide protection during both MOSFET charging and discharging processes, usually achieved by combining MOSFETs and diodes. Regardless of the protection method used, care must be taken to keep the protection circuit resistance appropriate to avoid excessive current flowing through the protection circuit, causing the protection circuit itself to overheat and be damaged. current flowing through the protection circuit, causing the protection circuit itself to overheat and be damaged.
