GaNSPIN GaN motor drivers for compact, efficient motion control
ST’s GaNSPIN GaN motor driver family combines 650 V GaN half bridges and high-voltage gate drivers in a single system-in-package, bringing wide-bandgap efficiency to white goods and factory automation.
By precisely controlling switching times, GaNSPIN drivers cut motor stress and EMI, simplify EMC compliance, and enable cooler, smaller designs without heatsinks in many cases.
With low RDS(on), wide input voltage support, and robust integrated protections, they help designers boost motor performance, shrink PCB size by up to 60%, and meet demanding energy-efficiency standards.

Key benefits of GaNSPIN GaN motor drivers:
- System-in-package GaN driver for faster design integrates a 650 V GaN power stage and high-voltage gate driver to simplify layout, cut BoM, and speed design cycles.
- Precise switching control and adjustable dV/dt reduce EMI, motor stress, and noise while helping designs meet EMC requirements.
- Wide input voltage range for global appliances supports 110 to 230 V AC offline-powered appliances and industrial drives in white goods and factory automation.
- Scalable designs with pin compatible devices let designers move from ~300 to >400 W motor power using pin-compatible devices with minimal redesign.
Reference designs and evaluation boards with STM32 MCUs and the ST Motor Control SDK provide ready-to-use 3-phase FOC examples to cut development time and cost. Alongside datasheets, application notes, and software tools, these resources help designers quickly explore GaN performance, derisk their designs, and bring high-efficiency motor drives to market faster.
