$
0
0
Part Number: DRV8873

Tool/software:

Hi team,

Customer application will have 6A rms current, for thermal calculation, PD=IRMS*IRMS*(Rdson high-side + Rdson low-side) = 6*6*150mohm=5.4W

TJ=TA+(PD+RJA)= 25C+ (5.4W*27.8C/W) = 175.12C

I was wondering if this calculation is correct. If so, the temperature is too high. Could you pls help on the thermal calculation? thanks!

Part Number: BOOSTXL-DRV8323RH

Tool/software:

Hi,

I have some questions.

I've already solved this problem by lowering the IDRIVE value, but I want to know why this problem occurs with values with IDRIVE (1000mA/2000mA).

1. Why do I get a ripple in the gate waveform on the GHA side?
2. Why is the gate voltage on the GLA side higher than 11V?
3. Why are the waveforms on the GLA side not parallel, and the measured voltages are different?

VM(P) = 48V

IDRIVE = 1000mA/2000mA

Gate Resistor : 0ohm

CH1(High Side, yellow) : GHA-SHA

CH2(Low Side, blue) : GLA-SPA

Tool/software:

Hi

I want to rotate a FAULHABER 4490H024BS motor.
with the MCT8316ZTEVM circuit. HW configuration.
I connected a 24V power supply to the VM.
and 5V for digital HALL.
The motor does not turn.
But its axis is locked.
In the scope I saw that only phase A has a signal and the other two phases have a low but constant DC.
And the MCT8316Z component is very hot. The current from the 24V supply is 1.2A.

DRV2605L: Wrong I2C-Address: 0x5b (instead of 0x5a)

$

0
Part Number: DRV2605L

Tool/software:

We use the TI chip DRV2605LDGS on a pcb with other i2c slaves. According to the data sheet, this should report at address 0x5A. On some circuit boards it reports at address 0x5B. The chip works perfectly there (rudimentary tests via bit manipulation using I2C tools). The Linux driver does not support this address by default. Hence the reason for the request.

Here is some information to narrow down the cause of the fault:
- Functioning chips and non-functioning chips are labeled the same: 32 TI 05L
- All circuit boards that show this error pattern come (so far) from the same EMS:
- The question to TI:
   o Is there a technical explanation why the chip reports to the wrong address? Was a batch of chips with a different address manufactured for a specific customer?

The information below is for technical error analysis:
- The chip is supplied with 3.3V.
- The I2C level is also 3.3V
- The set frequency is 400kHz, a lower frequency showed the same error pattern.
- The image “i2cdetect_0x5a_0x5b.png” shows the I2C signal characteristics for a bus scan.


- The file “i2cdump.txt” shows the memory content of the functioning chip at address 0x5b.

DRV8243-Q1: Paralleling Outputs

$

Part Number: DRV8243-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8143-Q1, DRV8244-Q1

Tool/software:

Folks,

my customer planned to use the DRV8243-Q1 as Highside switch using one half-bridge only.

They now run into issues hitting the max. current of 12A and would like to know if they can parallel the outputs.

This is basically done in the DRV8143-Q1 but they would have to slightly change the PCB as the pinout is not 100% the same.

What changes have been made inside the DRV8143-Q1 besides paralleling the two half-bridges?

Can I do this externally and continue to use the DRV8243-Q1?

DRV8434A: Motor starting jitter and stop locking problems

$
0
0
Part Number: DRV8434A

Tool/software:

The jitter during power-on is acceptable. In the case of constant power, we want to do every time the motor stops, the next start time do not shake.
In addition, after the motor stops, how to maintain the stopped state is more appropriate.
Is it okay to just stop the pulse? We found that it was hotter.
Now we will pull down the nSLEEP signal into a low power consumption state, so that the motor will not heat up, but the next time we remove the nSLEEP and resend the pulse, we find that the motor has jitter. Is that what happened?

BP-AM2BLDCSERVO: ISENSE_xy_VREF net voltage is not correct

$

Part Number: BP-AM2BLDCSERVO

Tool/software:

Hi,

  I am using BP-AM2BLDCSERVO E2 board and found the ISENSE_xy_VREF nets are all 0.17V when power on the board with 3.3V from LP-AM243x.

I checked the resistors R139 and R140 resistance which are 51kohm and 49.9kohm. This is the correct value "BP-AM2BLDCSERVO E2 - Modifications" recommended.

So could you support this issue? 0.17V reference voltage isn't good for sensing the whole range of motor phase current.

DRV8718-Q1: SO pin

Part Number: DRV8718-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi team,

When testing the DRV8718-Q1, the customer found that the SO pin of the DRV8718-Q1 continuously outputs a waveform at a frequency of 20ms.

As a result, when the motor stops operating(There is no current passing through the sample resistor at this point), the AD pin of the MCU still captures voltage fluctuations and reports current values of around 1A.

What is the possible cause of this waveform in SO pin? Could you help review and give some suggestions?

Ivy

Part Number: DRV8245-Q1

Tool/software:

Dears,

The customer uses DRV8245 in the project.
Usage mode:
1, PH/EN mode, one full-bridge output
2, independent mode, independent control of two half-bridges, output of two PWM channels respectively

Functions to be implemented:
The controller needs to monitor the output current value in real time and overload protection (the rated current of the controller is 3A, and it is cut off at around 3.1A)

Problems encountered:
1. The current triggered by OCP protection is too large and cannot achieve the required function.

2. IPROPI current acquisition
①PH/EN mode, loop current acquisition can be realized through IPROPI

②Independent mode, when two channels output values ​​at the same time, IPROPI is the sum of the two currents, and it is impossible to distinguish whether one channel is overloaded (over 3.1A).How to solve it?

Many thanks,

Arabella

Part Number: DRV8718-Q1

Tool/software:

hi expert

as we know, DRVOFF/nFLT pin is a multi-function pin and, by default, the pin functions as a global driver disable pin.

additionally, 8718 has IC_STAT1[FAULT] bit to Mirrors nFAULT pin.

So my question is that in default configuration(DRVOFF function) what is IC_STAT1[FAULT] bit function? does this pin shown DRVOFF/nFLT state?

Part Number: DRV8705-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

We have some questions about the DRV8705S offline diagnostic

1. Noticed it is current source as the pull up/down for diagnostic, is it fixed value or triode? It is said fixed current=3mA, while shouldn't it relate to PVDD/2? When it is no fault, how do we confirm the SHx and SHy voltage for different PVDD external sampling?

2. If PU_SHy pull up capacity can be impact by external load voltage?

Thanks

Best,

DRV8316: question about motor current and temperature

$

Part Number: DRV8316

Tool/software:

hi ti team,

do you have the experience about calculate motor temperature from motor current? 

if I can monitor the motor current for a time period and test the motor shell temperature, then change the load and monitor another group of current and temperature。 at the end I can get a table of current and temperature relationship, so I can use this table to estimate the motor temperature from it's current value. Is this method practical?

thanks! 

DRV8334: Determining the right TDrive setting + IHOLD_SEL use cases

$

Part Number: DRV8334

Tool/software:

Hello,

I'm working on a tuning guide for my team's internal use. For some context, we are not at present using predischarge or deadtime injection (I mention these things solely as they adjust the functionality of the DRV8334 slightly)

Looking at Figure 7-6 in the datasheet, TDrive seems to be quite exaggerated, far longer than the actual switching time. Is this typical guidance? I was thinking that it might be best to use the actual MOSFET switching time measured, add some buffer for worst-case tolerancing (e.g., max MOSFET gate charge from the datasheet), and add 20% (given -20% is the min tolerancing for the TDRIVE state machine's timing accuracy for any given setting, per the datasheet).

Additionally, I am wondering when it might make sense to not set IHOLD_SEL. The idea that I can further reduce the risk of crosstalk from adjacent phases (given my understanding that ISTRONG is only applied to the MOSFET on the same phase when its complementary FET is being turned on) turning on/off my FET is great, but what's the catch? What considerations should I have in mind when making that decision?
