Method 2: Using the Proportionality factor

This method utilises the factor of proportionality that associates KMC and KMC_SCALE with the ripple speed, ωripple. ωripple is directly proportional to KMC_SCALE but varies inversely with KMC. Let kd be a dummy constant. We have:

Equation 14. ωripple=kdKMC_SCALEKMC

Using the subscript 'def' to denote default, we have the following equation for default values of KMC and KMC_SCALE:

Equation 15. ωdef=kdKMC_SCALEdefKMCdef

Using the subscript 'tuned', we similarly have the following equation for tuned values of KMC and KMC_SCALE:

Equation 16. ωtuned=kdKMC_SCALEtunedKMCtuned

Taking the ratio of the two equations above, the dummy constant, kd, cancels out:

Equation 17. ωtunedωdef=KMC_SCALEtunedKMCtuned×KMCdefKMC_SCALEdef

At this point, the following is known:

  1. KMC_SCALEdef = 11b (24 x 213) is the default value of KMC_SCALE from the register map.
  2. KMCdef = 163 is the default value of KMC from the register map.
  3. ωtuned is the actual value of the ripple speed in rad/s. Please refer to step 1 of the KMC_SCALE Tuning Method 1 for obtaining this value.

To obtain ωdef, select a value of W_SCALE based on step 3 of KMC_SCALE Tuning Method 1. Next, convert the ripple speed on the SPEED register obtained using KMC_SCALEdef and KMCdef into rad/s by multiplying SPEED with W_SCALE. For example, if SPEED reads 0x04 and W_SCALE is set to 10b (corresponds to 64 rad/s), then ripple speed in rad/s = 4*64 = 256 rad/s.

Plugging the four values above and simplifying, we get a ratio of KMC_SCALEtuned and KMCtuned as a constant number. Select KMC_SCALEtuned from the four available values such that KMCtuned has the highest bit precision within limits (0 to 255). A working example is shown below.
