8 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS

8.1 MOTOR CONTROLLER (MTC)

8.1.1 Introduction

The ST7 Motor Controller (MTC) can be seen as a

Pulse Width Modulator multiplexed on six output

channels,

and

Back

Electromotive

Force

(BEMF) zero-crossing detector for sensorless con-

trol of Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC)

brushless motors.

The MTC is particularly suited to driving synchro-

nous motors and supports operating modes like:

– Commutation step control with motor voltage

regulation and current limitation

– Commutation step control with motor current

regulation, i.e. direct torque control

– Sensor or sensorless motor phase commutation

control

– BEMF zero-crossing detection with high sensitiv-

ity. The integrated phase voltage comparator is

directly referred to the full BEMF voltage without

any attenuation. A BEMF voltage down to

200mV can be detected, providing high noise im-

munity and self-commutated operation in a large

speed range.

– Realtime motor winding demagnetization detec-

tion for fine-tuning the phase voltage masking

time to be applied before BEMF monitoring.

– Automatic and programmable delay between

BEMF zero-crossing detection and motor phase

commutation.

8.1.2 Main Features

■ 2 on-chip analog comparators, one for BEMF

zero-crossing detection with 100mV hysteresis,

the other for current regulation or limitation

■ 4

selectable

reference

voltages

for

the

hysteresis comparator (0.2 V, 0.6 V, 1.2 V,

2.5 V)

■ 8-bit timer (MTIM) with two compare registers

and two capture features

■ Measurement

window generator for BEMF

zero-crossing detection

■ Auto-calibrated prescaler with 16 division steps

■ 8x8-bit multiplier

■ Phase input multiplexer

■ Sophisticated output management:

– The six output channels can be split into two

groups (odd and even).

– The PWM signal can be multiplexed on even,

odd or both groups, alternatively or simultane-

ously.

– The output polarity is programmable channel

by channel.

– An software enabled bit (active low) forces the

outputs in HiZ.

– An “emergency stop” input pin (active low)

asynchronously forces the outputs in HiZ.

8.1.3 Application Example

This example shows a six-step command se-

quence for a 3-phase permanent magnet DC

brushless motor (PMDC motor). Figure 26 shows

the phase steps and voltage, while Table 11

shows the relevant phase configurations.

To run this kind of motor efficiently, an autoswitch-

ing mode has to be used, that is, the position of the

rotor must self-generate the powered winding

commutation. The BEMF zero crossing (Z event)

on the non-excited winding is used by the MTC as

a rotor position sensor. The delay between this

event and the commutation is computed by the

MTC and the commutation event Cn is automati-

cally generated after this delay.

After the commutation occurs, the MTC waits until

the winding is completely demagnetized by the

free-wheeling diode: during this phase the winding

is tied to 0V or to the HV high voltage rail and no

BEMF can be read. At the end of this phase a new

BEMF zero-crossing detection is enabled.

The end of demagnetization event (D), is also de-

tected by the MTC or simulated with a timer com-

pare feature when no detection is possible.
