APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
Figure 5 shows full–wave driving of a three phase motor requires three push–pull output stages. In each of the six possible states two outputs
are active, one sourcing and one sinking current. The third output presents a high impedance to the motor which enables measurement of the
motor EMF in the corresponding motor coil by the EMF comparator at each output. The commutation logic is responsible for control of the
output transistors and selection of the correct EMF comparator.
The zero–crossing in the motor EMF (detected by the comparator selected by the commutation logic) is used to calculate the correct moment
for the next commutation, that is, the change to the next output state. The delay is calculated (depending on the motor loading) by the adaptive
commutation delay block.
Because of high inductive loading the output stages contain flyback diodes. The output stages are also protected by a current limiting circuit and
by thermal protection of the six output transistors.
The zero–crossings can be used to provide speed information such as the tacho signal FG. A VCR scanner also requires a PG phase sensor.
This circuit has an interface for a simple pick–up coil. A multiplexer circuit is also provided to combine the FG and PG signals in time. The
TDA5240 is providing 1 multiplexed FG PG signal: pin7 (SO20) FG–PG 3 times the number of pole pairs. A PG output signal is generated;
pulse width is typically 7 µs.
