7.1 Overview

The MCF8329A provides a code-free sensorless FOC solution with an integrated three-phase gate driver for driving high-speed brushless-DC motors. Motor current is sensed using an integrated current sensing amplifier with the need for external sense resistors in a single shunt configuration. The device can operate from a single power supply and integrates an LDO that generates the necessary voltage rails for the device and can be used to power external circuits.

MCF8329A implements Sensorless FOC, and so an external microcontroller is not required to spin the brushless DC motor. The algorithm is implemented in a fixed-function state machine, so no coding is needed. The algorithm is highly configurable through register settings ranging from motor start-up behavior to closed-loop operation. Register settings can be stored in non-volatile EEPROM, which allows the device to operate stand-alone once it has been configured. The device allows for high-level monitoring; any variable in the algorithm can be displayed and observed as an analog output via a 12-bit DAC. This feature provides an effective method to tune speed or power loops as well as motor acceleration. The device receives a reference command through a PWM input, analog voltage, frequency input, or I2C command. The device can be configured to control motor speed (speed control) DC input power (power control) or the quadrature (q-) axis current (current control) or directly the voltage applied (vq and vd) to the motor (modulation index control or open loop voltage control).

In-built protection features include power-supply undervoltage lockout (PVDD_UVLO), regulator undervoltage lockout (GVDD_UV), bootstrap undervoltage lockout (BST_UV), VDS overcurrent protection (OCP), sense resistor overcurrent protection (SEN_OCP), motor lock detection and overtemperature shutdown (OTSD). Fault events are indicated by the nFAULT pin with detailed fault information available in the status registers.

A standard I2C provides a simple method for configuring the various device settings and reading fault diagnostic information through an external controller.

The MCF8329A device is available in a 0.4-mm pin pitch, VQFN surface-mount package. The VQFN package size is 5 mm × 4 mm.
