locked rotor protection
An internal digital timer monitors the output of the Hall sensor amplifier. When a change in commutation state
is not observed within one second (typical with 2200 pF COSC), the VOUT, PHA, and PHB outputs are disabled
for eight seconds (typical with 2200 pF COSC). After the outputs have been disabled for eight seconds (typical
with 2200 pF COSC), the THMC40 and THMC41 re-enable the VOUT, PHA, and PHB outputs to automatically
restart the motor after a locked rotor condition. If the locked rotor condition still exists, the above process repeats
itself until the condition is removed, or the THMC40 and THMC41 are powered down (see Figure 9).
NOTE:
The locked rotor detection time and auto-retry time are proportional to the PWM frequency, and
therefore to the value of COSC. With a COSC value of 2200 pF, the PWM frequency is typically
22.7 kHz, locked rotor detection time is typically one second, and auto-retry time is typically
eight seconds.
