MIC-99D001
January 1999
The digital ASIC continuously provides HIGH or OPEN signal until the BEMF generated is enough large to produce
the FG signal i.e. the spindle motor can be driven by the self commutation. During a fixed time, if the BEMF
generated is too small and the spindle motor is not driven by the self commutation, the ASIC resets all signals sent
and retries the spindle.

ACCELERATION MODE
When the BEMF detected is enough to be used as the information of motor position, the mode is changed from
start-up to acceleration. The ASIC sends the optimum commutation timing signal via MCLK according to the FG
input.
By using the BEMF, the spindle is self-commuted at acceleration and running modes. During the motor drive, the
spindle motor is commuted at that point which is electrically 30
°
delayed after the FG_Edge generates.
RUNNING MODE
It is called to the running mode when the spindle motor speed arrives within
±
1% of the target speed. The
switching mode, commutation delay time, MCLK delay time (Td) and masking time are changed at the running
mode.
The spindle motor speed is controlled by PWM signal within
±
0.01%.
The soft switching using the current slope of the motor may reduce noise, EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and
spark voltage which is generated on the motor coil at the switching.
