DRV8323R: BLDC run under rated RPM and also create lot of noise

Part Number: DRV8323R

Hi   

  As my BLDC control design is working fine with 50 Watt motors but at high speed, my motor creates a lot of Noise and also its speed is lesser then Rated speed. My motor got overheated after some time.

  • Sukhpal,

    Thanks for posting on the MD forum!

    Could you share your schematic?

    Can you check if the power supply is saturating? Sometimes if the power supply cannot provide the instant current that the motor needs, the speed will be limited and the motor may sound different.

    Hi 

      As yesterday i on DSO i find that the first half of my Trapazodial is missing. I am attaching is the screenshot .Please check and let me know  The above image is of Mosfet Gate Signal taken when the motor of  4000 RPM connected. That should be clear Trapazodial.

     

     

     

     


     

     

    the above image is when we run the motor at 50% of speed.

     

     


     

     

    this pic is of Phase voltage when we run the motor at full speed. 

     

    so please let me know. why its noot give a clear trapezoidal wave.

  • Sukhpal,

    If your BEMF waveform does not look correct it is likely that your HALL sensor inputs are not synced with your Motor phase outputs.

    Please make sure that your motor phase A is connected to pin input A on the board and hall input A is connected to hall input A. Same check for B and C.

    Are you configured in 1X pwm mode via SPI?

  • HI

      I have configured it in 6 PWM mode. 

     My back emf wave from is shown below 

    I not able to figure out waveform i saw on DSO. So is it possible for you can give me a brief about that .

  • Sukhpal,

    You may have some issue with your commutation code or sequence. 

    Do you have an EVM you can try with your motor?

  • hi adam 

      as this commutation code works well on lower RPM motors but only on this high-speed motor we got a problem . Also tomorrow I am going to check it with DRV835 3 EVM board. But i think its not look so. As we only provide PWM to DRV and rest it do its self. So let me  know is drv support high-speed motors .

    regards

  • Sukhpal,

    The DRV does support high speed motors. I would check that your power supply can provide the immediate switching current and check that your hall sensors are aligned to the phases. Please also check that the phases are connected in sequential order as A-->B-->C.

    Are you planning on programming the SPI of the EVM by yourself?
