SLLSFP6A December 2022 – April 2023 MCF8315A
PRODUCTION DATA
MCF8315A has two 12-bit DAC which outputs analog voltage equivalent of digital variables on DACOUT1 and DACOUT2 pins with resolution of 12 bits and max voltage of 3V. Signals available on DACOUT pins can be used for tuning speed controller or other driver configuration or bus current monitoring. Check algorithm variable registers in datasheet for list of all algorithm variables.
The addresses for variables for DACOUT1 and DACOUT2 are configured using register bits DACOUT1_VAR_ADDR and DACOUT2_VAR_ADDR. This is useful in applications which require tracking algorithm variables in real time without having any delay from the communication bus. Pin 37 and 38 should be configured as DACOUT1 and DACOUT2.
For example, if the user wants to read phase A current from pin 37, configure pin 37 as DACOUT1 and program the phase A current register address (0x00000440) in Hex in [DACOUT1_VAR_ADDR]. If the user wants to read estimated rotor angle from pin 38, configure pin 38 as DACOUT2 and program the estimated rotor angle register address (0x00000736) in Hex in [DACOUT2_VAR_ADDR].
Figure 8-12 shows the outputs of DACOUT1 and DACOUT2. DACOUT1 is configured to read phase A current and DACOUT2 is configured to read estimated rotor angle.
