DRV8313: Drv8313 is not stable in use

Part Number: DRV8313

Hi, Ti engineer

Recently, I took over an actuator project and found a strange phenomenon. Drv8313 is connected to BLDC and does not supply power to drv8313. Dragging BLDC finds that sometimes there is braking phenomenon, sometimes there is no braking phenomenon (power supply circuit and PGND circuit have been disconnected). Why is this?. In order to eliminate the influence of my peripheral circuit, I broke all the pins of drv8313 (except the three pins connected to the motor), and found that there were still braking phenomena sometimes and sometimes none. Three of them were tested, and there was no rule~

  • Bangjing,

    If I understand your question correctly, all pins of the DRV8313 are disconnected from the PCB and only OUT1/OUT2/OUT3 are connected to the motor?

    Can you show a picture?

  • Bangjing,

    Can you show us a scope image of the motor terminals during these two conditions?

  • first is connection diagram

    second is brake phenomenon waveform

    third is no brake phenomenon waveform

    fourth is no brake phenomenon but limit speed waveform

  • I just got the development board(DRV8313EVM) and found that the phenomenon is consistent.

  • The drv8313 needs to be powered on and activated to avoid braking. However, if the drv8313 is not operated for a long time after activation, there will still be braking phenomenon.

    Is this a bug?

  • Bangjing,

    Do you see any FAULT reported on the nFAULT pin when the device is activated and the braking phenomenon is occurring?

  • Hi,Adam

    Because the voltage is too low to judge whether there is a fault.

  • Bangjing,

    I don't understand why nFAULT cannot be measured.

  • Hi,Adam

    Because the voltage is too low to judge whether there is a fault. 

    I cant get any signals.

    Could you do some related tests?

  • Bangjing,

    We have provided complete details on this case and the root cause to your FAE, Eric Xiong.

    Please follow up with Eric.
