MA828 FAMILY
THREE-PHASE PULSE WIDTH MODULATION WAVEFORM GENERATOR
The MA828 PWM generator has been designed to provide
waveforms for the control of variable speed AC machines,
uninterruptible power supplies and other forms of power elec-
tronic devices which require pulse width modulation as a means
of efficient power control.
The six TTL level PWM outputs (Fig. 2) control the six
switches in a three-phase inverter bridge. This is usually via an
external isolation and amplification stage.
TheMA828isfabricatedinCMOSforlowpowerconsumption.
Information contained within the pulse width modulated
sequencescontrolstheshape,powerfrequency,amplitude,and
rotational direction (as defined by the red-yellow-blue phase
sequence) of the output waveform. Parameters such as the
carrier frequency, minimum pulse width, and pulse delay time
may be defined during the initialisation of the device. The pulse
delay time (underlap) controls the delay between turning on and
off the two power switches in each output phase of the inverter
bridge, in order to accommodate variations in the turn-on and
turn-off times of families of power devices.

The MA828 is easily controlled by a microprocessor and its
fully-digitalgenerationofPWMwaveformsgivesunprecedented
accuracy and temperature stability. Precision pulse shaping
capability allows optimum efficiency with any power circuitry.
The device operates as a stand-alone microprocessor periph-
eral, reading the power waveform directly from an internal ROM
and requiring microprocessor intervention only when operating
parameters need to be changed.
An 8-bit multiplexed data bus is used to receive addresses and
datafromthemicroprocessor/controller.ThisisastandardMOTELTM
bus, compatible with most microprocessors/controllers.
Rotational frequency is defined to 12 bits for high accuracy
and a zero setting is included in order to implement DC injection
braking with no software overhead.
This family is functionally identical to the MA818 PWM
generator IC except that the waveform ROM is integrated on-
chip; in addition, the MA828 features three Zero Phase Pulse
(ZPP)outputsandaWaveformSamplingSynchronisationoutput
(WSS) for use as feedback in, for example, slip compensaton
systems. Two standard wave shapes are available to cover
most applications; in addition, any symmetrical wave shape can
be integrated on-chip to order.
