PRODUCTION DATA
Dead time is inserted between the switching instants of high-side and low-side MOSFET in a half bridge leg to avoid shoot-through condition. Due to dead time insertion, the expected voltage and applied voltage at the phase node differ based on the phase current direction. The phase node voltage distortion introduces undesired distortion in the phase current causing audible noise. The distortion in current waveform due to dead time appear as sixth harmonic of fundamental frequency in the dq reference frame. The MCF8316 integrates a proprietary dead time compensation using a resonant controller to control the sixth harmonic component in phase current to zero, ensuring that the current distortion due to dead time is alleviated. The resonant controller is employed in both iq and id control paths. The dead time compensation can be enabled or disabled by configuring DEADTIME_COMP_EN.
