MCF8316A: MCF8316A vs MCF8316C

Joe Carlson

Part Number: MCF8316A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316D

Tool/software:

I have the eval board running my motor at 70k rpm with no problem. When I transfer these same settings to my custom board the motor spins up but it stops and resets around 55k rpm.

The eval board uses PN: MCF8316C and my custom board uses MCF8316A.

I have confirmed that power is not the root cause of the issue as I am able to run the eval board using the voltage regulators off my custom board without issue.

I have monitored phase current and VM during the reset / failure event on an oscope. VM does not dip or overshoot (18V +/- 1V). The phase current on the other hand spikes right before the reset / failure occurs. I am not getting a HW_LOCK_LIMIT fault in the GUI through this event but perhaps the driver chip is self protecting without tripping the fault. DVDD does not get used. AVDD stays steady throughout the failure just like VM.

I cannot see any obvious issues myself and would appreciate some guidance in resolving.

Hi Joe,

Did you test this with I2C mode on your custom board? How is speed is controlled?

Hope there is no analog signal difference on the speed pin.

Also, you can refer to the errata list for MCF8316A in this link (+) [FAQ] Production device information - Motor drivers forum - Motor drivers - TI E2E support forums

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Joe,

Can you share the JSON files ?

Thanks and Best Regards

I have tested I2C mode on my board. It does look like the SPEED pin is being pulled high (should this be floating during I2C mode)?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for sharing the JSON, I will verify this and get back to you.

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Venkatadri, can you please provide an update?

Hi Joe,

I am out of office this week but I will plan to verify this before weekend.

I need some time to go over setting, I will aim to respond by this week end.

Thanks and Best Regards

Okay thanks, would be good to find any issues with JSONs this week.

Hi Joe,

I looked at first JSON, as per that Resistance of motor is 225mOhm, Inductance is 6uH, BEMF is 6mV. Can you confirm how you measured these parameter, let us first confirm the parameters entered are proper.

The current limits in Open loop is 8A? Do you need so much of current?

How much current are you seeing on a phase when at max speed/load?

I am suspecting thermal shutdown event, please share the motor parameter and ratings.

Can you try to cool the board and check if it can run ?

Thanks and Best Regards

Chilling the board did not change the result.

Hi Joe,

Can you share custom board schematics?

What is the pole pair of the motor?

Thanks and Best Regards

Venkatadri S

0 Joe Carlson 10 months ago in reply to Venkatadri Shantaram84961

1 pole pair motor.

0 Venkatadri Shantaram84961 10 months ago in reply to Joe Carlson

TI__Mastermind 24992 points

Hi Joe,

Schematics look fine.

One thing I want to check if on MCF8316C there is MIN_ON_TIME configuration in GD_CONFIG1, what is the value set? From the JSON you shared earlier shows 0us, we should actually set "Automatic based on the slew rate".

On MCF8316A minimum on time is 1us and it is not configurable because of this minimum on time for PWM is 1uS we may not be seeing full duty, in order to check if this min on time issue we can configure as 1us on MCF8316C and check what is the maximum speed we can achieve?

Can you try to probe phase current to measure what is peak value of phase current which motor is drawing? This is to check if an thermal shutdowns or something else.

Thanks and Best Regards

Hello, I attempted running the eval board (MCF8316C) with a 1us min_on_time and it did not seem to change the performance. Still seeing full speed on the eval board (MCF8316C) and max of 80% speed on custom board (MCF8316A) before it gets stuck in a reset loop.

I also would like to know more about the ALIGN_BRAKE feature... Is there a chip in production today that has the capability to use this feature?

0 Venkatadri Shantaram84961 9 months ago in reply to Joe Carlson

TI__Mastermind 24992 points

HI Joe

Let me re look into the speed issue.

We released MCF8316D , you can search for it on TI.COM .

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Joe,

I also want to try from your side one experiment.

Can you replace MCF8316C on your custom board and re test?

Since it is getting stuck in reset loop (please confirm how you are seeing reset) it may be some different issue which we need to test by isolating.

Thanks and Best Regards

Thanks! I assume the MCF8316D has the ALIGN_BRAKE feature capability?

0 Venkatadri Shantaram84961 9 months ago in reply to Joe Carlson

TI__Mastermind 24992 points

Hi Joe,

Yes D version data sheet is now available on the ti.com .

Thanks and Best Regards

Venkatadri S

0 Joe Carlson 9 months ago in reply to Venkatadri Shantaram84961

It has the ALIGN_BRAKE capability? I know the MCF8316C has this feature listed in the datasheet but is not implemented / possible with the IC / GUI. Just want to make sure I understand your response correctly.

Hi Venkatadri, I was able to replace MCF8316A with MCF8316C on my custom board and got full speed capability! I will close this item once the ALIGN_BRAKE question is answered at the bottom of this thread! Thanks so much!

Hi Joe,

MCF8316D has ALINE BRAKE feature, please verify the data sheet.

Thanks and Best Regards

Thanks, I do see it in the datasheet.

However, I also see it in the datasheet for MCF8316A and MCF8316C. When I tried to implement I was told this feature wasn't ready for production yet and was a test only feature. I could not use this feature from the GUI and was told this was by design. That is why I want to confirm that this new part indeed has the feature ready for production use. Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Yes, on D version we can use the ALIGN BAKE feature.

Thanks Joe for the good discussion, please start new thread for new questions.

Thanks and Best Regards
