Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8323
I am spinning a BLDC motor using the DRV8323SR. Works well. The motor we are using doesn't have a position sensor, so we added our own. We need to calibrate the position sensor for each motor since the position magnet could be installed at any angle. To do this we need to position the motor at 0 degrees and run a calibration program. One way to position the motor is to pulse one leg of the motor with PWM and sink the other 2 phases. That will move the motor into position we need prior to calibration.
The DRV8323 data sheet shows a table (table 5) that has a row called "Align". This is exactly what I need. However there is no other mention in the data sheet of how to enter this state.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks.
Bill
