8.3.12 Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit

The current-limit circuit activates if the current flowing through the low-side MOSFET exceeds the ILIMIT current. This feature restricts motor current to less than the ILIMIT.

The current-limit circuitry utilizes the current sense amplifier output of the three phases and compares that voltage with the voltage at ILIM pin. Figure 8-35 shows the implementation of current limit circuitry. As shown in this figure, the output of current sense amplifiers is combined with star connected resistive network. This measured voltage VMEAS is compared with the external reference voltage VILIM applied at ILIM pin to realize the current limit implementation. The relation between current sensed on OUTX pin and VMEAS threshold is given as:

Equation 5. GUID-20210105-CA0I-NGVC-JP9V-H5JZKB0ZR76Z-low.gif

where

  • AVDD is 3.3-V LDO output
  • OUTX is current flowing into the low-side MOSFET
  • GAIN is 0.24-V/A

The ILIMIT threshold can be adjusted by configuring ILIM pin between AVDD/2 to (AVDD/2 - 0.32) V. AVDD/2 is minimum value and when it is applied on ILIM pin cycle by cycle current limit is disabled, whereas maximum threshold of 4-A can be configured by applying (AVDD/2 - 0.32) V on ILIM pin.

GUID-20210105-CA0I-TGTD-NXR6-L3ZCXQFS8N8L-low.gif Figure 8-35 Current Limit Implementation

When the current limit threshold is hit, the high-side FET is disabled until the beginning of the next PWM cycle as shown in Figure 8-36. The low-side FETs can operate in brake mode or Hi-Z mode by configuring the ILIM_RECIR bit in the SPI device variant.
