Feature Description (continued)
An open-loop haptic system typically drives an overdrive voltage at startup that is higher than the steady-state
rated voltage of the actuator to decrease the startup latency of the actuator. Likewise, a braking algorithm must
be employed for effective braking. When using an open-loop driver, these behaviors must be contained in the
input waveform data. Figure 11 shows how two different ERMs with different startup behaviors (Motor A and
Motor B) can both be driven optimally by the smart-loop architecture with a simple input for both motors. The
smart-loop architecture works equally well for LRAs with a combination of feedback control and an auto-
resonance engine.

7.3.2.4.1 Startup Boost
To reduce the actuator start-time performance, the DRV2605L-Q1 device has an overdrive boost feature that
applies higher loop gain to transient response of the actuator. The STARTUP_BOOST bit enables the feature.
7.3.2.4.2 Brake Factor
To reduce the actuator brake-time performance, the DRV2605L-Q1 device provides a means to increase the
gain ratio between braking and driving gain. Higher feedback-gain ratios reduce the brake time, however, the
gain ratios also reduce the stability of the closed-loop system. The FB_BRAKE_FACTOR[2:0] bits can be
adjusted to set the brake factor.
7.3.2.4.3 Brake Stabilizer
To improve brake stability at high brake-factor gain ratios, the DRV2605L-Q1 device has a brake-stabilizer
mechanism that automatically reduces the loop gain when the braking is near completion. The
BRAKE_STABILIZER bit enables the feature.
