Part Number: TMS320F28377D
I am implementing a sensorless PMSM drive for railway traction application using TMS320F28377D.
During the coasting section, I need to open all inverter switches and disable all gate signals, then resume PWM afterward repeatedly.
I have two questions:
- To open all inverter switches during the coasting section, I am considering two methods:
- Method 1: Force all PWM outputs to low using AQCSFRC
- Method 2: Disable the dead band and apply individual signals to each switch directly
- Considering propagation delay through the gate driver, which method provides the fastest and most deterministic switch-off timing — AQCSFRC, Trip Zone (OST), or controlling the gate driver enable pin directly?
Any recommendation on the preferred approach in a safety-critical traction application would be appreciated.
