6.3.1.6 Commutation

In motors, commutation is the process of orienting stator and rotor magnetic fields to maintain continuous rotor motion. The rotor of a single phase BLDC motor contains a permanent magnet with alternating poles. The stator has one phase winding which attracts and repels the rotor magnet poles when energized. A Hall sensor integrated in the MC121-Q1 determines which direction to drive the current through the stator winding to commutate the motor. Figure 6-11 shows an example of single-phase motor commutation using the MC121-Q1. For proper motor commutation, the MC121-Q1 must be placed between two of the stator poles with the Hall element directly beneath the rotor magnet.

MC121-Q1 Example of Single Phase Motor Commutation Figure 6-11 Example of Single Phase Motor Commutation

The MC121-Q1 driver integrates the following functions for commutation of a single-phase BLDC motor.

  • Digital-latch Hall sensor for rotor position sensing
  • Hall sensor offset angle setting for lead or lag angle adjustment using the HALL_OS_ANGLE and HALL_ANGLE_MODE bits
  • Hall sensor delay setting for lead or lag time adjustment using the HALL_OS_TIME and HALL_TIME_MODE bits
  • Hall offset signal inversion with the HALL_INVERT bit to change motor rotation direction or accommodate various Hall sensor orientation
  • Square and soft PWM duty cycle waveshaping selected by COMMUTATION_MODE bit
