all your questions are going to depend on the gear reduction you use and how many poles you have in your motor. good luck!

Asaka-san, sorry for the delay. Since Figure 3 shows a 7% change between 12V and 16V, the max IVM values should also be 7% larger.

active: 10.7mA
sleep: 10.7uA

Best regards,

RE: DRV8308 Bad Commutation in SINE mode

$

Paul, good question. The duty cycle the DRV8308 applies during startup is not well-controlled. The SPEED register does affect it, but really just needs to be a large enough value to spin the motor up to the target speed. Lower values of SPEED should prevent overshoot, but if it's too low, target speed won't be reached, so it's simplest to just set it to 4000.

Best regards,

DRV8308 Bad Commutation in SINE mode

$

The DRV8308 register setup I am using is shown below.

The mode is 120 deg commutatioin with single Hall (BASIC = 0, ENSINE=0)

This runs the motor perfectly over a wide speed range.  LOCKn active after startup at any speed.

The problem comes when doing nothing more than setting ENSINE=1.  The motor draws large current, the phase current is erratic.  Continuously goes in/out of LOCK.  Setting before start or setting on-the-fly does same.  Setting MOD120=3970, does the same.

ENSINE should just change the PWM flat duty to sinusoidal duty.  It should not change commutation angle (my assumption about what is happening).  The switch between 180 comm single Hall and 120 comm single Hall should be seamless.  I don't understand what is happening here.

A good overall block diagram of the system, filter topology, startup algorithm, would be very helpful.

I am unable to get Sine mode to operate in my drive nor in the evaluation kit.

RE: BOOSTXL-DRV8301 output oscillation

Nicholas,

I sent Tom the design files for the DRV8301-HC-C2-Kit, as he was asking the question about the oscillation as a means to an end to designing a board using the DRV8301. I think that having the HC-C2-Kit schematic will help him design his system without the oscillation that was noticed while testing using the BOOSTXL booster pack.

BOOSTXL-DRV8301 output oscillation

Hi motor drivers team,

My customer is experiencing buck supply output oscillation above 38V input voltage. Information I have received so far:

  • 140mVpp oscillation experienced with original 47uF output electrolytic capacitor
  • 52mVpp oscillation experienced when changed to 47uF ceramic capacitor
  • Removing C15 compensation capacitor made the oscillation worse

Below 38V input, the output is absolutely smooth. Customer is trying to achieve 50V+ at the input


Can you suggest how to eliminate this oscillation?

Thanks,

Sean

RE: DRV8412 lowest frequency possible and corresponding bootstrap cap size?

Hi Andrew,

We will investigate and get back to you.

When running at 100Hz, what is your maximum duty cycle?
Do you need 100Hz, or can you run at ~800Hz with a 50ns low side pulse to avoid UVP as described in section 7.3.2.1 of the datasheet.

DRV8412 lowest frequency possible and corresponding bootstrap cap size?

$

We are using DRV8412 up to 10kHz.  Some applications are less than 100 Hz.  At 100 Hz what should the bootstrap cap be?  Is there a design equation?  The 5 ohm resistor on GVDD is already know, but for such a slow application we need to know how big the bootstrap cap should be. We are too far along to switch and picked this part because we are doing both stepper and BLDC applications.

Hi Ushikubo-san,

Sorry for the delay, this question is taking longer than we had expected. I will provide a status update by the end of the week.

Hello,

 

tdeg,ENon doesn’t have maximum value.

Please give me any information of maximum value of tdeg,ENon.

Hi,

We will investigate and reply soon.

DRV8308 - recommended and safe values for charge pump capacitors

Hello!

Assuming that 0.1uF/35V is a recommended capacitor for pins CP1 and CP2 (CP flying capacitor) on DRV8308, what would be the maximum tolerable capacitance? Or in other words, would the IC remain undamaged if the capacitance is for example 0.22uF or 0.33uF?

Similarly, if the CP storage capacitance (between VM and pin VCP) is changed from recommended1uF to 2.2uF or 3.3F, would that have an adverse effect on the IC?

Many thanks in advance.

RE: DRV8305 minimum pin configuration

Hi Asif,

PWRGD is an open drain output indicating VREG undervoltage or watchdog fault. You can chose to use this or not.

WAKE is a pin used to bring the device out of SLEEP mode. If you do not expect to use SLEEP mode you can tie this to 3.3V or direct to PVDD through resistor.

Hi Asif,

Yes, you can pull the WAKE input pin high using a resistor. Doing so disables sleep mode increases the current used by the DRV8305 from <100uA typ to 4mA typ. If you are trying to reduce current when idle, it is recommended to control the WAKE pin.

PWRGD is an open drain output, which is why there is a pullup attached.

Hi Rick-san,

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry for my poor information.
The voltage is from 12V to 24V.
The constant current is 0.6A.
I will ask the customer about control speed.

He wants to reduce MIPS, so he wants to use the DRV8307/08 or DRV10983.
Can they control speed and torque?

Best Regards,
Naoki Aoyama

Hi Shimizu,

4.7k should be work without issue since the device is even fine with 3.3V input H level. But smaller resistor will be better to keep stable level in noise condition.

Hi Mike,

Can you provide more background on the application?
What PWM frequency are you targeting?

The Phase connections are unusual.
The current limiting resistors in the gate drive may not allow the gates to turn on quickly.

Hello -

I am building custom hardware, and have a question regarding the DRV8305. On the BOOSTXL-DRV8305, the "PWRGD" and "WAKE" pins are broken out. On the TIDA-00643 reference design, I see that the "PWRGD" pin is pulled logic HIGH (3.3v), and not connected to the MCU. Can I do something like this with the "WAKE" pin as well, or is it recommended to have this connected to the MCU??

I definitely want to be able to set the FETs into high-impedance, so I am definitely connecting the "ENGATE" to the MCU, but based on the data sheet it doesn't seem like the "WAKE" pin is required.

Please advise. Any help is appreciated.
