Product specification
Brushless DC motor and VCM drive circuit
with speed control
TDA5341
If the amount of EMF generated is insufficient, then the
motor will move one step only and will oscillate in its new
position. The amplitude of the oscillation must decrease
sufficiently before the arrival of the next start pulse, to
prevent the pulse arriving during the wrong phase of the
oscillation. The oscillation of the motor is given by:

Where:

= torque constant (N.m/A)
I = current (A)
p = number of magnetic pole-pairs
J = inertia J (kg/m

damping, a start frequency of 48.4 Hz can be chosen or

The Adaptive Commutation Delay
(CAPCDM and CAPCDS)
In this circuit capacitor CAPCDM is charged during one
commutation period, with an interruption of the charging
current during the diode pulse.

During the next commutation period this capacitor
(CAPCDM) is discharged at twice the charging current.
The charging current is 10
μ
A and the discharging current
20

The voltage must stay within this range at the lowest
commutation frequency of interest, f

If the frequency is lower, then a constant commutation
delay after the zero-crossing is generated by the discharge
from 2.28 to 0.87 V at 20

C) ms: Where C is in nF.
Example: nominal commutation frequency is 3240 Hz and
the lowest usable frequency is 1600 Hz, thus
CAPCDM = 7092/1600 = 4.43 (choose 4.7 nF)
The other capacitor, CAPCDS, is used to repeat the same
delay by charging and discharging with 20
μ
A. The same
value can be chosen as for CAPCDM. Figure 3 illustrates
typical voltage waveforms.
