External Power Stage Components

External components in the power stage are not required by design but are helpful in suppressing transients, managing inductor coil energy, mitigating supply pumping, dampening phase ringing, or providing strong gate-to-source pulldown paths. These components are used for system tuning and debuggability so the BLDC motor system is robust while avoiding damage to the MCF8329A device or external MOSFETs.

Some examples of issues and external components that can resolve those issues are found in table below.

Table 8-4 Common issues and resolutions for power stage debugging

Issue

Resolution

Components

Gate drive current required is too large, resulting in very fast MOSFET VDS slew rate

Series resistors required for gate drive current adjustability

0-100 Ω series resistors (RGATE/RSOURCE) at gate driver outputs (GHx/GLx), optional sink resistor (RSINK) and diode in parallel with gate resistor for adjustable sink current

Ringing at phase’s switch node (SHx) resulting in high EMI emissions

RC snubbers placed in parallel to each HS/LS MOSFET to dampen oscillations

Resistor (RSNUB) and Capacitor (CSNUB) placed parallel to the MOSFET, calculate RC values based on ringing frequency using Proper RC Snubber Design for Motor Drivers

Negative transients at low-side source (LSS) below minimum specification

HS drain to LS source capacitor to suppress negative bouncing

0.01uF-1uF, PVDD-rated capacitor from PVDD-LSS (CHSD_LSS) placed near LS MOSFET’s source

Negative transient at low-side gate (GLx) below minimum specification

Gate-to-ground Zener diode to clamp negative voltage

GVDD voltage rated Zener diode (DGS) with anode connected to GND and cathode connected to GLx

Extra protection required to ensure MOSFET is turned off if gate drive signals are Hi-Z

External gate-to-source pulldown resistors (after series gate resistors)

10 kΩ to 100 kΩ resistor (RPD) connected from gate to source for each MOSFET
