I was browsing through the Gerber files and even though I am no expert, this section for / around U9 (Voltage Level Translator) looks odd. Please see the image with the circled area in question. Can anyone confirm that this is an error?

DRV8308: CP fail

$

Part Number: DRV8308

Hi, all

We are working on the project using drv8308.
I'm testing the board I designed.

The motor works well, but reading the motor register confirms the CP fault.
1uf-25V capacitor between VCP (28) and VM (27)
Does changing the capacitor to 1uf-50V fix the problem?

I'd like to try changing that capacitor, but I don't have 1uf-50V.

When the VCP voltage is measured, 34.4V is measured.

Is there a way to fix the CP failure?

DRV8329: CSAGAIN Setting

Part Number: DRV8329

hello, 

I am using DRV8329 to spin 3 Ph BLDC motor on one of our Project. this is a key project we are working and has very high annual volume ( > 50k)

we are evaluating the possibility of using CSAGAIN and SO pin to read the current from Motor and have Connected CSAGAIN To GND to read max current. Peak current (motor phase) in my application could go up to 90A during startup at load. 

I am getting good data on the SO Pin but the voltage does not match with gain mentioned in the datasheet. 

 

with CSAGAIN to GND I calculated table in above image. below are scope captures of Motor Phase current peak value and SO pin voltage wrt GND. there is clear offset of 400mV to 800mv which is very high. see below captures for reference 

Peak current at startup is 81A, according to table, SO Voltage should be close to 1.24V but i am seeing 1.92V here, some more images below during operation 

Request you to provide some feedback on the discrepancy observed. Below is snapshot of DRV8329 section.

MCF8315C current measure value not equal to the configured value.

Hello, I used MCF8315C to control BLDC. I configure current by writting register, and measure it by oscilloscope。

But I find the measure value doesn't equal to the configured value, and they have a const rate. Why?

1) MOTOR_STARTUP1.ALIGN_OR_SLOW_CURRENT_ILIMIT

    a. set value=250mA, measure value=164mA.  250/164=1.524.

    b. set value=500mA, measure value=324mA.  500/324=1.543.

2) MOTOR_STARTUP2.OL_ILIMIT

    a. set value=250mA, measure value=160mA.  250/160=1.5625.

    b. set value=500mA, measure value=336mA.  500/336=1.602.

DRV2605L: Auto calibration reporting false LRA failure

$

Part Number: DRV2605L

We are using 4 DRV2605Ls to drive 4 LRA motors in open loop mode. In final assembly, motors are located in a wrist band. This is why we would like to run a diagnostic routine to examine motors against short, open or stuck rotor situations.

Since DIAG_RESULT bit only works either in closed loop or calibration mode, we have decided to run auto calibration routine to examine motors. Auto cal params are fine tuned to get more accurate results. 

If there is problem with motor, it always returns failure that is 100% reliable. However, in some cases, although motors are okay, auto cal reports failure through DIAG_RESULT bit. I could say 9% it returns false failures. We wanted to use other outputs to judge the result of the auto calibration procedure but found that it does not matter if result reported as failed, false failed, or passed, BEMF_GAIN, A_CAL_COMP, and  A_CAL_BEMF register values are getting pretty much the same or very close values. The only way left is to run diagnostic multiple times to mark a motor as okay if auto cal passes at least one time in X amount of iterations.

So the question is: is there another way to diagnose motors? We are also open for any suggestions to diagnose LRA motors in open loop mode.

Part Number: DRV8889-Q1

Hi,

The conditions of tH Hold time and tSU Setup time are both DIR to STEP rising, but the marked positions of their timing diagrams are different.

As indicated on the timing diagram, will the direction not change until the next STEP?

What is the correct timing diagram of DIR and STEP?

Thanks & best regards,

Part Number: DRV8718-Q1

Hi Team,

On customer board, there is the inrush current issue of 40A and around 10ms due to their motor load. So they want to know how to make the overcurrent detection time longer than msec unit and how to protect FET damage by overcurrent under other conditions. Please check it and let me know.

Part Number: MCT8329EVM

Hi TI Team,

I just have a quick question about the information provided in SYS_STATUS3, I am aware of having to divide DC_BATT_POW by 64 and DC_BUS_CURR by 256, my question is more related to whether the values given are just what is consumed by the IC or what is consumed by the entire EVM. 

I apologize if this question is absolutely trivial.


Kind regards,

DRV8845: DRV8845RHHR

Part Number: DRV8845

Hi,

We have used DRV8845RHHR in our project to drive stepper motor having following specifications.

1) No of phase - 2

2) Phase voltage - 6.6V

3) Phase current - 1A

4 ) Phase resistance - 6.6ohms

5) Size : NEMA 17

The applied voltage on VM1 and VM2 pins is 11.5V.

The VREFX reference voltage pins are connected to PWM outputs of microcontroller for which the VOH logic level is 3.3V. 

We have used voltage divider ckt and adjusted VREF voltage of 1.47V on all VREFX pins.

All sense pins have 0.47 ohms 1 watt resistor to GND.

The maximum itrip calculated is ITRIPMax = VREF / (3 × RSENSE)

                                                                    = 1.47/(3 x 0.47) 

                                                                    = 1.04A

The maximum power to stepper motor is 6.6W as mentioned in the above motor specifications.

How much PWM duty cycle should be set on Vrefx pins to limit the maximum power of 6.6W to motor with above stepper motor specifications?

Also provide calculations for the same.

DRV2700: Used to operate LCG Smart Glass

Part Number: DRV2700
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV2667

Excuse my ignorance here as I am new to a lot of this. I had seen a video of TI using this to operate LCG Smart Glass and am looking for a similar situation but not sure I fully understand it. Most of what I have seen and what little I know it seems it is DC input. And I believe the Piazzo is mimicking an AC output? As the Smart Glass I have seen, their controllers are saying the output is 70VAC Square Wave 25/30/32/50/60Hz.. Would this unit powered by 5v DC be able to achieve the 70VAC needed to operate the Smart Glass? As to my novice level I have only seen inverters to transform the DC to AC. I have looked into the H Bridge bu again still in beginners steps so please be patient with me! Thank you everyone!!

Hi - 

Customer trying to use online GUI for both the DRV8234EVM and DRV8242H-Q1EVM. They can use downloadable GUI without issue, but web GUI problematic. They think it may have to do with the company IT firewalls. 

Any ideas on what they can try?

DRV8245-Q1: nFAULT permanently asserted

$

Part Number: DRV8245-Q1

Hello,

I have been unable to make the HW variant of the DRV8245 work.  A partial schematic is attached below as a PNG file.

1)  the unpopulated PCB ohms out per the schematic

2) the populated PCB ohms out sensibly per the schematic

3) the load connected on J9 is a 12 VDC motor that draws about 1.2 A.  The following conditions are seen if the motor is connected, but also if nothing is connected to J9

4) correct voltages are seen on all the input pins

5) nFAULT is always asserted (low) regardless of the state of IN2

6) OUT1 and OUT2 voltages are both around 0.3 V

7) IPROPI is 0 V

8) ITRIP = 6.25 V whereas the data sheet gives an absolute max rating of 5.75 V.

9) The IC is cold to the touch at all times

10) R27 is now 1k0 (on nFAULT), and there is a 100 nF cap now in parallel with R25 (for IPROPI)

11) the +5 V and +12 V supplies power up at the same time

I have been unable to figure this out and am hoping that someone can offer me guidance.

Thanks,
Phillip

MCT8316Z: The datasheet and EVM board contents are inconsistent with the actual situation

Part Number: MCT8316Z

1. tWAKE and tSLEEP verification results are inconsistent with datasheet.

datasheet P9, wakeup time should <1ms, sleep pulse time should>120us ; The actual wakeup time measured is 1.74ms and tSleep is 86.7uS. Please confirm whether the test result is correct.

2. Timing diagram of Hall sensor. In datasheet P25, the hall signal of DIR=0 and DIR= 1 is the same. It should actually be inconsistent. The actual signal is shown below. DIR=0 on the left and DIR=1 on the right, please confirm.

3. MCT8316ZTEVM evaluation module User's Guide P18, whether the calculation formula of Motor speed is wrong.

The actual formula used by the GUI should look like the following figure

MCF8316A: Motor keeps trying to start, but cannot advance to closed loop

Part Number: MCF8316A

Hi,

I have built a breakout that is very similar to the evaluation board and I can communicate with the controller over I2C. I set up the recommended default values and I can read them back. 

When I try to start the MPET algorithm, I always get MPET_FAULT error. I searched the forum for a long time and tried many suggestions, but I cannot get the motor to start. Unfortunately, it does not have a datasheet, so I can only measure the Rph and Lph values and I also measured the Ke back EMF constant, so that I can skip the MPET algorithm. Still, after setting the measured values, the motor does not spin up, it only tries to start over and over again. I also tried to set Kp=10 and Ki=1, but still no success.

I'm using a a salvaged BLDC motor from a floppy drive, it has 3 pins with 4 pole pairs.

I measured the voltage on one of the phases and the signal looks like this:

Can you give me guidance on how to get the motor spinning?

Best regards,

Tibor

Hello.

I would like to ask about DRV8245-Q1 device.



1. In SPI(P), (VM undervoltage translators) is a question about how long and how much voltage it is.

2. Apart from the SPI connection, which pins should be essential to the MCU? Is there any function that SPI can replace?

  - EN/IN1, PH/IN2, nSLEEP, nFAULT

3. I would like to ask if I can use more than 5.5A continuously (1oz 6Layer)
