Part Number: MCF8316A Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8315A ,
Abstract
Sensorless Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are widely used in industrial and medical applications such as vacuum cleaners, pumps, CPAP blowers etc. Decelerating a BLDC motor in these…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316A Importance of Motor Parameters
When driving a sensorless 3-phase BLDC motor with field-oriented control (FOC), the control algorithm uses the motor parameters to create a mathematical model representation of the…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MCF8316A Brushless DC motors are widely used across market sectors and the industry is attempting to move from sensored to sensorless solutions for applications that don’t need the tight position control offered by sensored…
Register settings in TI motor drivers allow you to configure specific settings to optimize motor driver performance for your particular application. Whether it is adjustable IDRIVE, dead time, or setting the overcurrent trip threshold, register settings…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8316 The DRV8316 comes with an integrated buck that can support up to 200mA of current and can be used as a 3.3V or a 5V rail in a motor driver system. In some systems, however, the buck may not be needed. If this is…
Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words, such as troubleshooting a motor and motor driver. This post discusses the signals that are the most commonly useful when debugging a running motor, and mentions some of the waveform characteristics…
