OM9373
Modes of Operation
Figures 2 and 3, shown on the following pages,
provides schematic representations of typical voltage-
mode and current -mode applications for the OM9373
controller/driver.
Figure 2 also shows the implementation of the
cycle-by-cycle current limit/overcurrent protection
feature of the OM9373. The load current is monitored
red via the controller’s internal sense resistor. The
current sense signal is filtered and fed into the current
rent sense amplifier where the absolute value of
ISH-ISL is multiplied by two and biased up by 2.5V
The output of the current sensor amplifier is compared to
a fixed reference, thus providing cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and/or overcurrent protection as
necessary. The typical peak current threshold (ISL-ISH)
is 0.2V; the typical over current threshold (ISH-ISL) is
0.3V.
Figure 2 represents the implemenation of a typical
voltage-mode controller for velocity control. A voltage
or speed command is applied to the noninverting
input of the error amplifier which is configured as
voltage follower. The ouput of the error amplifier is
compared to a pulse width modulated ramp,and
since motor speed is nearly proportional to the
average phase output voltage, the average speed is
controlled via duty cycle control. If a speed feedback
loop is required, the tachometer output can be
connected to the inverting input of the error amplifier
via a loop compensation network.
