The Tiny BLDC board measures 1.3" x 0.9" (33 mm x 23 mm). The reason why we can make a BLDC motor driver so small is because PAC5223 has pretty much all the circuitry required to drive the power FETs. These components are:

1. 3 phase pre drive power stage
2. 3 comparators to sense BEMF crossing (Tiny BLDC uses these. Tiny FOC does not need to.)
3. 3 differential amplifiers to digitize current and protect against over current (Tiny BLDC uses 1, Tiny FOC uses 3)
4. 10 bit ADC to digitize values such as currents, phase voltages and power supply voltage (we will use 1 to digitize battery voltage)
5. Up to 14 PWM generators (of which we will use 6 to drive the 3 phase inverter, AKA H Bridge)
6. Up to 14 timer Input Captures which can be used to digitize the RC PWM input (we will use 1 of these)
7. Four timers (A, B, C and D) to perform timed functions such as control manager, accurate commutation, high speed BEMF Sampling, RC PWM input capture and decoding, and motor PWM generation).
8. Dead time generators to ensure the H Bridge doesn't suffer from shoot through.
9. Voltage regulators to supply all different loads.

In most ESC's out there, you will find a microcontroller, some voltage regulators, some pre drive ICs and then the FETs, along with a bunch of support passives. With the PAC5223 we have pretty much everything but the FETs.

These are the components (support passives) we still need to add:

1. Bootstrap caps and diodes.
2. gate drive resistors.
3. Output pin protection diode and resistor (optional but recommended).
4. SENSE resistor with filtering caps and resistor.
5. Phase Outputs voltage divider resistors and filtering cap.
6. MCU regulator caps and resistor.
7. Battery voltage divider.
