9.2.1.1.2 Using Active Demagnetization

Active demagnetization reduces power losses in the device by turning on the MOSFETs automatically when the body diode starts conducting to reduce diode conduction losses. It is used in trapezoidal commutation when switching commutation states (turning a high-side MOSFET off and another high-side MOSFET on while keeping a low-side MOSFET on). Active demagnetization is enabled when EN_ASR and EN_AAR bits are set in the SPI variant or OCP/SR pin is set to Mode 3 or Mode 4 in the H/W variant.

When switching commutation states with active demagnetization disabled, dead time is inserted and the low-side MOSFET’s body diode conducts while turning another high-side MOSFET on to continue sourcing current through the motor. This conduction period causes higher power losses due to the forward-bias voltage of the diode and slower dissipation of current. Figure 9-2 shows the body diode conducting when switching commutation states.

When active demagnetization is enabled, the AD_HS and AD_LS comparators detect when the sense FET voltage is higher or lower than the programmed threshold. After the dead time period, if the threshold is exceeded for a fixed amount of time, the body diode is conducting and the logic core turns the low-side FET on to provide a conduction path with smaller power losses. Once the VDS voltage is below the comparator threshold, the MOSFET turns off and current briefly conducts through the body diode until the current completely decays to zero. This is shown in Figure 9-3.
