APPLICATIONS
3 PHASE BRUSHLESS MOTOR CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The BC10 and BC20 Brushless DC Motor Controllers provide
the necessary functions to control conventional 3 phase brushless
dc motors in an open loop or closed loop system. The BC10 is able
to control motors requiring up to 1 kW continuous input power; the
BC20 is able to control larger motors requiring up to 10 kW
continuous input power.
Both controllers drive the motors, generate the PWM, decode
the commutation patterns, multiplex the current sense, and pro-
vide error ampli
fi
cation. Operation with either 60
°
or 120
°
commu-
tation patterns may be selected with a logic input.
Current sense multiplexing is used to make the current monitor
output always proportional to the active motor coils current.
Therefore the current monitor output may be used in generating
transconductance drive for easy servo compensation.
The controller may generate 4-quadrant PWM for applications
requiring continuous transition through zero velocity, or 2 quad-
rant PWM for electrically quieter operation in unidirectional appli-
cations. Direction of rotation may be reversed in 2-quadrant mode
by using the reverse command input. When in 2-quadrant mode
if the motor is stopped or decelerating dynamic braking is auto-
matically applied. In this way deceleration pro
fi
les may be fol-
lowed even when
using 2-quadrant
PWM.
