Detailed Design Procedure

Three-phase brushless DC motors often use three Hall effect latch devices to measure the electrical angle of the rotor and tell the controller how to drive the three wires. These wires connect to electromagnet windings, which generate magnetic fields that apply forces to the permanent magnets on the rotor.

Space the three Hall sensors across the printed-circuit board (PCB) so that they are 120 electrical degrees apart. This configuration creates six 3-bit states with equal time duration for each electrical cycle, which consists of one north and one south magnetic pole. From the center of the motor axis, the number of degrees to space each sensor equals 2 / [number of poles] × 120°. In this design example, the first sensor is placed at 0°, the second sensor is placed 20° rotated, and the third sensor is placed 40° rotated. Alternatively, a 3× degree offset can be added or subtracted to any sensor, meaning the third sensor could alternatively be placed at
40° – (3 × 20°) = –20°.
