AMIS--30532
Speed and Load Angle Output
The SLA--pin provides an output voltage that indicates the
level of the Back--e.m.f. voltage of the motor. This
Back--e.m.f. voltage is sampled during every so--called âcoil
ICOIL
current zero crossingsâ. Per coil, two zero--current positions
exist per electrical period, yielding in total four zero--current
observation points per electrical period.

Figure 14. Principle of Bemf Measurement
Because of the relatively high recirculation currents in the
coil during current decay, the coil voltage VCOIL shows a
transient behavior. As this transient is not always desired in
application software, two operating modes can be selected
by means of the bit <SLAT> (see âSLA--transparencyâ in
see SPI Control Parameter Overview). The SLA pin shows
in âtransparent modeâ full visibility of the voltage transient
behavior. This allows a sanity--check of the speed--setting
versus motor operation and characteristics and supply
voltage levels. If the bit âSLATâ is cleared, then only the
voltage samples at the end of each coil current zero crossing
are visible on the SLA--pin. Because the transient behavior
of the coil voltage is not visible anymore, this mode
generates smoother Back e.m.f. input for post--processing,
e.g. by software.
In order to bring the sampled Back e.m.f. to a descent
output level (0 V to 5 V), the sampled coil voltage VCOIL is
divided by 2 or by 4. This divider is set through an SPI bit
<SLAG>. (see SPI Control Parameter Overview)
The following drawing illustrates the operation of the
SLA--pin and the transparency--bit. âPWMshâ and âICOIL =
0â are internal signals that define together with SLAT the
sampling and hold moments of the coil voltage.
