DRV10983: Store speed value inside EEPROM

Part Number: DRV10983
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316A,

Hi,

It is possible to store speed value inside EEPROM in DRV109xx family to exclude I2C or analog control ?

In order to use DRV109xx in a "stand alone" mode.

Thank you.

  • Hello Michele,

    Thanks for your interest in our products and for posting to the MD forum! Unfortunately, this is not a function that is built in to any of our DRV10x devices, but if you care to look at one of our newest integrated drivers, the MCF8316A I believe it is fully capable of a "stand alone" function. 

    I am not too experienced with this device but I believe that you to store a speed profile in the EEPROM settings and have the motor run at the set speed profile at power up. If you care to read more about this device I will link the datasheet here: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/mcf8316a.pdf

    I have asked one of the MCF8316A experts regarding this specific function and should be giving this a try in the lab in the next couple of days. So let me know if you have any additional questions!

    Best,

    Isaac

  • Hello Michele,

    It looks like it is possible to set up DRV10983 as a stand alone without an MCU. This can be done by applying a constant voltage to the speed pin in analog mode. You wont be able to save the speed needed via EEPROM register but you can use a resistor network to change your analog voltage to obtain the appropriate speed from your system. This has been used by other customers in the past with success, I hope this works for you too. Let me know if you have any additional questions!

    Best,
