Hi,
I have a scope picture regarding the catch-spin function. The yellow channel represents the Vbus voltage, while the pink channel represents the motor current of one phase. When I start the motor at low speed, the catch-spin function works correctly. The motor current is nearly zero, and the bus voltage remains normal.
However, when I start the motor at high speed, the motor current does not quickly reach zero, causing the bus voltage to rise and eventually reach the over-voltage level. If the bus voltage reaches a critical over-voltage level, the motor phase becomes shorted, and the current becomes uncontrolled, as depicted in the following scope picture.
I want to know if there is any way to better utilize the catch-spin function to avoid high-speed overvoltage faults. All of this relates to the "Forward catch-spin" function. My application involves an industrial fan.

Hello,
Please tell me how to use EVAL-1ED38x0DCT.
Even if you connect it to a PC via USB, the click start button will not appear and you will not be able to use it, as shown below.
Is there any solution?
best regards,

Using BTS50080-1TEA.
With Pin2 & Pin3 at 12V I see 2.3v at Pins 1 & 5.
When I bring Pin2 to ground I get the full 12v as at Pin3.
Why do I see 2.3v at Pin1 & Pin5 when Pin 2 is high?

There is said that this bright feet + logo a bit unlike is IR Mexico factory production, I can not judge, please gods look at, this is not authentic, thank you!
Show LessHello all,
I am very tired to work with FOC using imc101t-f048, In this FOC method i cannot achieve 3000rpm in 2sec(This is already discussed in this thread (https://community.infineon.com/t5/Motor-Control-ICs/FOC-vs-Trapesoidal/m-p/711550#M3771)) , so i decided to work in Trapezoidal commutation. Kindly clarify IMC101t-f048 microcontroller does support trapezoidal commutation. If support which software is used for trapezoidal like MCE wizard for FOC?

Hi support,
I would like to set-up a UART connection on my NAC1080 using the GPIO0 and GPIO2 in order to communicate with my PC the messages that the NAC1080 will be sending.
I've been reviewing the uart_drv.h library you have available and what I can't see is how the data transmission works.
There's a function called "transmit_bytes()" that send the Tx buffer data, but where's the Tx buffer?
How could I edit the data on that buffer to be able to send the desired message?
Regards,
-K
