BRAKE FUNCTION
BRAKE = GND : BRAKE
BRAKE = 5V : GO
When the hall effect signal fre-
quency is lower than the reference
frequency, the control voltage is
maintained to a value that sets the
motor current limit and therefore the
torque control limit. The peak cur-
rent limit is given by Ipeak = Vcon-
trol/Rsense.
When the frequency from the Hall
Effect sensors exceeds the refer-
ence frequency and an error signal
is generated by the PLL (see Fig.
14). An LM358 comparator, a loop
amplifier and an auxiliary OP-AMP
ensure the right gain and filtering to
guarantee the stability (see fig.16).
The error signal causes Vcontrol
decrease to a value that sets the
PWM chopping current control in or-
der to reduce the torque and set
the desired speed. The motor
speed is regulated to within ± 0.02
% of the desired speed.
Control Logic Circuit.
The logic sequence to the motor is
generated by a GAL16V8, which
decodes the Hall Effect signals and
generates the INPUT and ENABLE
pattern shown in Fig. 18.
The brake function is obtained by
setting the input pattern to logic low
and thus turning on the lower
DMOS switches of the enabled half-
bridges.
The PWM signal is used for chop-
ping the INPUT pattern.
The control logic circuit decodes
Hall effect sensors having different
phasing.
With the DIR jumper opened the
application achieves forward rota-
tion for motors having 60° and 120°
Hall Effect sensor electrical phasing
and the reverse rotation for motors
having 300° and 240° Hall Effect
sensor phasing.
Connecting the DIR jumper to
ground sets the reverse rotation for
motors having 60° and 120° Hall
sensors phasing and the forward
rotation for motors having 300° and
240° Hall sensor phasing.
The SW2 switch performs the start-
stop function.
