PRODUCTION DATA
Variable commutation can be configured by setting COMM_CONTROL to 01b. 120o commutation may result in acoustic noise due to the long Hi-Z period causing some torque ripple in the motor. In order to reduce this torque ripple and acoustic noise, the MCT8316A-Q1 uses variable commutation to reduce the phase current ripple at commutation by extending 120o driving time and gradually decreasing duty cycle prior to entering Hi-Z state. In this mode, the phase is Hi-Z between 30o and 60o and this window size is dynamically adjusted based on speed. A smaller window size will typically give better acoustic performance. Figure 6-28 shows 150o commutation with 30o window size.
Different modulation modes are supported only with 120o commutation; variable commutation uses mixed modulation mode only.
