8.3.7.2.1 Speed and Voltage Set

Denoted by WSET_VSET, this parameter helps set the target ripple speed or motor voltage, based on the REG_CTRL register setting.

When REG_CTRL is set to 10b, the speed regulation mode is enabled. WSET_VSET is an 8-bit register and can be set to a value between 00h (corresponds to 0 rad/s) and FFh (corresponds to the maximum speed allowable by W_SCALE). The speed control loop matches the value of the SPEED register to the target speed set by WSET_VSET. Please note that the maximum value of the SPEED register is 255. Also note that:

Equation 17. T a r g e t   R i p p l e   S p e e d = S P E E D   × W _ S C A L E

When REG_CTRL is set to 11b, the motor voltage regulation mode is enabled. VM_GAIN_SEL is used to select the voltage range for a smaller or larger range of voltages.

Table 8-23 VM_GAIN_SEL Settings
VM_GAIN_SEL Voltage range Corresponding WSET_VSET range Approximate WSET_VSET Resolution Formula for WSET_VSET setting
0b 0 V - 15.7 V

0 V: 0

15.7 V: 255

 61.56 mV/bit WSET_VSET = Target Output Voltage x (255/15.7)
1b 0 V - 3.92 V

0 V: 0

3.92 V: 255

 15.38 mV/bit WSET_VSET = Target Output Voltage x (255/3.92)

As mentioned in Table 8-23 setting VM_GAIN_SEL to 1b allows the user to increase the resolution for voltage regulation at lower voltages.

When set to 0b, the motor voltage can be set to a value between 0 for 0 V and 255 for approximately 15.7 V drive output voltage. Please note that the maximum value of WSET_VSET is 255. Each bit corresponds to approximately a 61.56 mV resolution of the output voltage setting. Setting WSET_VSET to 255 sets the target voltage to 15.7 V. The formula to calculate the decimal value is represented by the equation:

For example, if desired target voltage is 5 V, Register Setting Value = 5*(255/15.7) = 81. Hence, setting a value of 81 (or 51h) outputs approximately 5 V.

Note:
  1. In practice, the driver's Over Voltage Protection shuts the device down before 15.7 V.
  2. The maximum voltage for VM under Section 7.3 is 11 V.
    1. Recommended to set the target voltage below 11 V for better accuracy.
  3. To set the target voltage to 11 V, set WSET_VSET to 179.
