Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8306, MCT8316Z
Tool/software:
Hello,
I am currently using a maxon EC45 flat (30W) an a maxon driver (DEC24-2).
The current driver has external mosfets, takes as input a speed target, a direction and hall sensor signal.
The motor has a nominal voltage of 12v, stall current of 10A.
In my application (we want to compress a spring using a motor once every minutes, so the load varies), a speed controller with a current limitation works fine. It wont be necessary to go over 5A. We are outside of the continuous current for the motor and the driver, but it is an intermittent mode, motor and drive will have time to cool off.
I saw that TI makes this great integrated fets drivers in the MCT serie that would simplify the design of the next board.
However, I am affraid that the 8A peak limitation of the driver won't be sufficient, in regards with the stall current of the motor. Specifically for the start phase. Again, I won't put the motor in a stall situation.
Can you tell me if the driver is a solution for my configuration ?
If it is not, I saw the DRV8306, that needs Hall sensor and external fets.
Sincerely
