Power-Up Sequence
The POR timer receives the two supply undervoltage
detection outputs and combines them to form one output
called PowerFailure. If PowerFailure is low, the POR output
will remain low. After the power supplies are deemed safe,
PowerFailure goes high and the timer is turned on which holds
the POR output low for an additional 500 ms. If PowerFailure
goes back low while the timer is active, the POR output must
remain low and the timer must reset and wait for PowerFailure
to go back high before starting again.
The POR output must drop low within 1
 μ
s from when a power
failure is detected. Once the POR output drops low, the timer
must also reset. If the PowerFailure output drops low for less
than 600 ns, then the power failure is ignored and the POR
output remains high and the timer is not reset. The POR
output cannot glitch at anytime. If a power failure is detected,
then the POR output must stay low for a minimum of 350 ms.
A minimum of 1 V of hysteresis exists at the POR comparator
which monitors the timer ramp voltage.
Recommended Parameter Setting Hardware Values and 
Register Contents
Spindle
In order to perform some applications testing, some of the
registers should be preloaded and certain hardware values
installed. These are for a first approximation on an average
spindle motor and should be adjusted for the particular motor
and parameters that will be used.
All registers will default to 0 at power-up. The following
register value exceptions should be loaded for an average
motor load.

VCM
The Si9993CS contains a transconductance amplifier to drive
the voice coil motor (VCM). For proper operation, this
amplifier must be compensated specifically for the VCM being
driven. As a first approximation, the torque constant and
inertia of the VCM may be ignored although they will have
some influence on the final results, especially if large.
The VCM transfer function of this simplified case may be
expressed in the s (Laplace) plane as:
Where
R
v
 = VCM resistance in ohms
L
V
 = VCM inductance in henrys
s is the Laplace operator
This has a pole at -R
v
/L
v
. It is desirable to cancel this pole in
the interest of stability. In order to do this, a compensation
amplifier is cascaded with the VCM and its driver. The transfer
function of this amplifier is:
Where
R
L
 = compensation amplifier feedback resistor in ohms
C
L
 = compensation amplifier feedback capacitor in farads
A = compensation amplifier and driver voltage gain at high frequency
If R
L
 x C
L
 is set equal to L
v
/R
v
, then the combined open loop
transconductance in siemens becomes:
Use these values as the series combination from COMP1 to
COMP2. The absolute values should be adjusted for the
desired open loop gain and closed loop bandwidth desired.
This has a single pole at the origin and is therefore stable
when the loop is closed.
