Hi,
working on BLDC drive design with MP6570, need clarification on DC bus current limit sensing part
From datasheet page no. 39
IIN_LIMIT[9:0] = (Vs+0.9)*1023/1.6
It is having 0 to 9 bits value under that decimal equivalent value is 511 (Decimal) = 1FF (Hex)
Rewriting above equation 511 = (Vs + 0.9)*1023/1.6 returns Vs max value as -0.1 Volts
value is in negative which is confusing.
Kindly clarify
with warm regards

Hi Vasanthkumar,
I’ll look into your request and post an update in 2-3 days.
Hi, Bryan
waiting for your update.

Hi Vasanthakumar,
Thank you for your patience. I’m working with our applications engineers to clarify the units in the equation and will post another update soon.
IIN_LIMIT[9:0] has 10bits, so the value range is 0 – 1023.
Vs = (IIN_LIMIT *1.6)/1023-0.9 = -0.9V – 0.7V. So, the Vs voltage range is -0.9V to 0.7V.
The DC current can flow in both directions so the voltage on a current sensing resistor can be negative or positive.
The IIN_LIMIT protection is also used to avoid DC voltage rising to a high value which may cause the device damage. This function can also be realized by VIN_LIMIT function.
Please ignore the IIN_LIMIT register. We recommend connecting the IDC pin to ground in most applications.
The motor phase current can be limited by IQ_LMT (register 06h) during normal operation.
Hi,
Thanks for the clarification.
with warm regards
