9.5.1 DAC12 Output

32-bit algorithm variables can be output in real time from the MCU through the DAC12 module. DAC12 output is enabled by setting pUserCtrlRegs->dacCtrl.dacEn as 1b. The DAC12 in MSPM0 is a 12-bit DAC module, thus a scaling needs to be applied before output. Follow the steps below to configure DAC12 output:

  1. For variables in global IQ format (IQ27), refer to Equation 48. Setting the pUserCtrlRegs->dacCtrl.dacScalingFactor to IQ(1.0) enables DAC12 output to represent a data of IQ(1.0) to IQ(-1.0) in between 0V and 3.3V. To represent the data exceeding the value IQ(1.0) use higher dacScalingFactor. For example, to represent data from IQ(2.0) to IQ(-2.0), set the dacScalingFactor to IQ(0.5).
    Equation 48. DAC_OUTPUT[V]=(VARIABLE_VALUE[IQ format]×SCALING_FACTOR+1)×1.65V
  2. For output of any IQ format other than IQ27, users can shift the variable left or right to bring the data into a 12-bit range before output. This mode is selected by setting dacScalingFactor to 0.
    1. If variable value is less than a 12-bit value, set pUserCtrlRegs->dacCtrl.dacShift to positive, the DAC output follows Equation 49.
    2. If variable value is greater than a 12-bit value, set dacShift to negative, the DAC output follows Equation 50.
Equation 49. DAC_OUTPUT[V]=(VARIABLE_VALUE[IQ format]<<DAC_SHIFT)×3.3V
Equation 50. DAC_OUTPUT[V]=(VARIABLE_VALUE[IQ format]>>DAC_SHIFT)×3.3V
Note:

Settings dacEn as 1b feeds the variable output to the DAC registers, but user needs to enable the DAC peripheral in TI SysConfig for the DAC peripheral to function. Also make sure the DAC output pin is not loaded by any other peripheral or DRV board.

Table 9-1 lists the FOC motor control variable addresses for real-time tracking, with updates occurring every FOC loop. In contrast, variables in pUserStatusRegs update every 1ms and therefore cannot display real-time changes.

For estimated rotor angle, IQ(1.0) represents 32 electrical angle cycles to avoid the overflow in algorithm.
