Phase-Current Sensing and Position Feedback

The AMC0106M05 modulator clock input is driven from one EPWM module and the modulator output data bitstream is decimated on AM2612 MCU through a Sinc3 filter running at oversampling ratios (OSR) from 32 to 256. For detailed test results on phase-current sensing with the functional isolated modulator AMC0106M05, see the High Resolution, Small Form Factor Phase Current Sense for 48V Robotics and Servo Drives application note. Figure 4-14 shows the phase A and phase B current waveform when reference current of Q axis is set to 20A. From the test results, observe that the peak current is matched well with the reference current given in software.

Figure 4-15 showcases the position data gathering from encoder 1 which represents the mechanical motor rotating angle and the electrical angle which is used for FOC control loop. The electrical angle equals the motor mechanical angle multiplied by motor pole pairs. The EYOU motor has eight pole pairs.
