To align the rotor to the commutation logic the DRV10963 applies an x% duty cycle on phases V and W while
holding phase U at GND. This condition is maintained for TAlign seconds. The x% value is determined by the
VCC voltage (as shown in Table 2) to maintain sufficient driving torque over a wide range of supply voltages.

7.3.4 Motor Frequency Feedback (FG)
During operation of the DRV10963 device, the FG pin provides an indication of the speed of the motor. The
output provided on this pin can be configured by use of an OTP setting (FGOPT) and by applying a logic signal
to the FGS pin. The configuration of this output is defined in Table 6.

As seen in Table 6, the FG pin can be configured to toggle either once per electrical cycle, once per 2 electrical
cycles or once per every 3 electrical cycles. Using this information and the number of pole pairs in the motor, the
mechanical speed of the motor can be determined.
The formula to determine the speed of the motor is:
If FGS = 1, RPM = (FREQFG × 60)/ number of pole pairs
If FGS = 0, FGOPT=1, RPM = (FREQFG × 120)/ number of pole pairs
(2)
(3)
If FGS = 0, FGOPT=0, RPM = (FREQFG × 180)/ number of pole pairs
(4)
or
The FG pin has built in short circuit protection, which limits the current in the event that the pin is shorted to VCC.
The current will be limited to ISC_FG.
7.3.5 Lock Detection
When the motor is locked by some external condition the DRV10963 will detect the lock condition and will take
action to protect the motor and the device. The lock condition must be properly detected whether it occurs as a
result of a slowly increasing load or a sudden shock.
The DRV10963 reacts to lock conditions by stopping the motor drive. To stop driving the motor the phase
outputs are placed into a high impedance state. To prevent the current which is flowing in the motor from being
returned to the power supply (VCC) the DRV10963 uses an ANTI VOLTAGE SURGE feature. This feature is
described in a following section. After successfully transitioning into a high impedance state as the result of a
lock condition the DRV10963 will attempt to restart the motor after TOFF_LOCK seconds.
The DRV10963 has a comprehensive lock detect function which includes 5 different lock detect schemes. Each
of these schemes detects a particular condition of lock as illustrated in Figure 9.

SLAS955A – MARCH 2013 – REVISED JULY 2015
7.3.5.1 Lock1: Frequency Overflow
For most applications the maximum electrical frequency of the motor will be less than 3 kHz. If the motor is
stopped then the BEMF voltage will be zero. Under this condition, when the DRV10963 device is in the closed
loop mode, the sensor less control algorithm will continue to accelerate the electrical commutation rate even
though the motor is not spinning. A lock condition is triggered if the electrical frequency exceeds 3 kHz.
7.3.5.2 Lock2: BEMF Abnormal
For any specific motor, the integrated value of BEMF during half of an electronic cycle will be a constant as
illustrated by the shaded green area in Figure 10. This is true regardless of whether the motor runs fast or slow.
The DRV10963 monitors this value and uses it as a criterion to determine if the motor is in a lock condition.
The DRV10963 uses the integrated BEMF to determine the Kt value of the motor during the initial motor start.
Based on this measurement a range of acceptable Kt values is established. This range is referred to as Kt_low
and Kt_high. During closed loop motor operation the Ktc value is continuously updated. If the calculated Ktc goes
beyond the acceptable range a lock condition is triggered. This is illustrated in Figure 11.
Figure 10. BEMF Integration
Figure 11. Abnormal Kt Lock Detect
7.3.5.3 Lock3: Speed Abnormal
If the motor is in normal operation the motor BEMF will always be less than the voltage applied to the phase. The
DRV10963 sensorless control algorithm is continuously updating the value of the motor BEMF based on the
speed of the motor and the motor Kt as shown in Figure 12. If the calculated value for motor BEMF is higher than
the applied voltage (U) for a certain period of time (TON_LOCK) then there is an error in the system. The
calculated value for motor BEMF is wrong or the motor is out of phase with the commutation logic. When this
condition is detected a lock detect is triggered.

7.3.5.4 Open Loop Stuck
This lock condition is active when the DRV10963 device is operating in the open loop mode. When the open loop
commutation rate becomes higher than the open to closed loop threshold (HOffth - see Figure 8) and the zero
cross is not detected for the time corresponding to 2 electrical cycles then this is an indication that the motor is
not moving. Under this condition the open loop stuck lock condition will be triggered.
7.3.6 Soft Current Limit
The current limit function provides active protection for preventing damage as a result of high current. The soft
current limit does not use direct current measurement for protection, but rather, uses the measured motor
resistance (Rm) and motor velocity constant (Kt) to limit the voltage applied to the phase (U) such that the
current does not exceed the limit value (ILIMIT). This is illustrated in Figure 13 based on the calculation shown in
Equation 5.
The soft limit is only active when in normal closed loop mode and does not result in a fault condition nor does it
result in the motor being stopped. The soft current limit is typically useful for limiting the current that results from
heavy loading during motor acceleration.
Figure 13. Current Limit
ULIMIT=ILIMIT × R_m + Speed × Kt
(5)
ILIMIT is configured by OTP setting (ILIMIT [2:0]) according to Table 7.
NOTE
The soft current limit calculation is not correct if the motor is out of phase with the
commutation control logic (locked rotor). The soft current limit will not be effective under
this condition.

7.3.7 Short Circuit Current Protection
The short circuit current protection function shuts off drive to the motor by placing the motor phases into a high
impedance state if the current in any motor phase exceeds the short circuit protection limit ISHT. The DRV10963
device will go through the initialization sequence and will attempt to restart the motor after the short circuit
condition is removed. This function is intended to protect the device and the motor from catastrophic failure when
subjected to a short circuit condition.

7.3.8 Anti-Voltage Surge (AVS)
Under normal operation the DRV10963 acts to transfer energy from the power supply to the motor to generate
torque, which results in angular rotation of the motor. Under certain conditions, however, energy which is stored
in the motor in the form of inductive energy or angular momentum (mechanical energy) can be returned to the
power supply. This can happen whenever the output voltage is quickly interrupted or whenever the voltage
applied to the motor becomes less than the BEMF voltage generated by the motor. The energy which is returned
to the supply can cause the supply voltage to increase. This condition is referred to as voltage surge.
The DRV10963 includes an anti-voltage-surge (AVS) feature which prevents energy from being transferred from
the motor to the power supply. This feature helps to protect the DRV10963 as well as any other components that
are connected to the power supply (VCC).
7.3.8.1 Protecting Against the Return of Mechanical Energy
Mechanical energy is typically returned to the power supply when the speed command is abruptly decreased. If
the voltage applied to the phase becomes less than the BEMF voltage then the motor will work as a generator
and current will flow from the motor back to VCC. This is illustrated in Figure 14. To prevent this from happening,
the DRV10963 buffers the speed command value and limits the rate at which it is able to change. The AVS
function acts to ensure that the effective output amplitude (U) is maintained to be larger than the BEMF voltage.
This prevents current from becoming less than zero. The value of BEMF used to perform this function is
calculated by the motor Kt and the motor speed.
Figure 14. Mechanical AVS
7.3.8.2 Protecting Against the Return of Inductive Energy
When the DRV10963 suddenly stops driving the motor, the current which is flowing in the motor’s inductance will
continue to flow. It flows through the intrinsic body diodes in the mosfets and charges VCC. An example of this
behavior is illustrated by the two pictures in the top half of Figure 15. When the driver is active, the current flows
from S1 to the motor and then to S6 and is returned to ground. When the driver is placed into a high impedance
(tri-state) mode, the current goes flows from ground through the body diode of S2 to the motor and then through
the body diode of S5 to VCC. The current will continue to flow through the motor’s inductance in this direction
until the inductive energy is dissipated.

The lower two pictures in Figure 14 illustrate how the AVS circuit in the DRV10963 device prevents this energy
from being returned to the supply. When the AVS condition is detected the DRV10963 device will act to turn on
the low side device designated as S6. This allows the current flowing in the motor inductance to be returned to
ground instead of being directed to the VCC supply voltage.
7.3.9 Control Advance Angle
To achieve the best efficiency it is often desirable to control the drive state of the motor so that the motor’s phase
current is aligned with the motor’s BEMF voltage.
To align the motor’s phase current with the motor’s BEMF voltage the inductive effect of the motor must be
considered. The voltage applied to the motor should be applied in advance of the motor’s BEMF voltage. This is
illustrated in Figure 16. The DRV10963 provides configuration bits (CTRL_ANG[4:0] )for controlling the time
(Tadv) between the driving voltage and BEMF. For motors with salient pole structures, aligning the motor BEMF
voltage with the motor current may not achieve the best efficiency. In these applications the timing advance
should be adjusted accordingly. This can be accomplished by operating the system at constant speed and load
conditions and by adjusting the Tadv until the minimum current is achieved.

7.3.10 Overtemperature Protection
The DRV10963 contains a thermal shut down function which disables motor operation when the device junction
temperature has exceeded TSD. Motor operation will resume when the junction temperature becomes lower than
TSD - TSD_HYS.
7.3.11 Undervoltage Protection
The DRV10963 contains an undervoltage lockout feature, which prevents motor operation whenever the supply
voltage (VCC) becomes too low. Upon power up, the DRV10963 will operate once VCC rises above VUVLO_H.
The DRV10963 will continue to operate until VCC falls below VUVLO_L.
7.3.12 OTP Configuration
The DRV10963 features OTP (one time programmable) bits to allow for flexible configuration of the device in
order for optimization over a wide range of applications. Selection of various OTP options is described
throughout this specification. The DRV10963JJ, DRV10963JM, DRV10963JU, and DRV10963JA parts listed in
Table 10 are configured at the factory based on popular OTP settings for several different applications. TI
provides EVM hardware along with a special GUI and a Motor System Tuning Guide which provides detailed

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Standby Mode and Sleep Mode
When the PWM commanded duty cycle input is lower than 1.5%, the phase outputs will be put into a high
impedance state. The device will stop driving the motor. The device logic is still active during standby mode and
the DRV10963 device will consume current as specified by IVCC.
When the PWM commanded duty cycle input is driven to 0% (less than VIL_PWM for at least TSLEEP time), the
DRV10963 device will enter a low power sleep mode. In sleep mode, most of the circuitry in the device will be
disabled to minimize the system current. The current consumption in this state is specified by IVCC_SLEEP.
The device will remain in sleep mode until either the PWM commanded duty cycle input is driven to a logic high
(higher than VIH_PWM) or the PWM input pin is allowed to float. If the input is allowed to float an internal pullup
resistor will raise the voltage to a logic high level.
Recovering from sleep mode is treated the same as power on condition as illustrated in Figure 7.
As part of the device initialization the motor resistance value and the motor Kt value are measured during the
initial motor spin up as shown in Figure 7. Whenever the part is executing the initialization sequence it is
important to note that the values determined by any previous spin up cycles no longer exist. In order for the
motor resistance value and the motor Kt value to be properly initialized the system should be allowed to come to
a complete stop before the next restart attempt.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Sleep mode can be disabled by OTP setting (SLEEP_EN). In this condition, the motor resistance value and the
motor Kt value are preserved and the motor can reliably spin up without coming to a complete stop. This feature
is referred to as the ‘re-synchronize’ function. If the ‘re-synchronize’ function is required the sleep mode cannot
be used.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
Table 11 lists several key motor characteristics and recommended ranges which the DRV10963 is capable of
driving. However, that does not necessarily mean motors outside these boundaries cannot be driven by
DRV10963.
Recommended ranges listed in Table 11 can serve as a general guideline to quickly decide whether DRV10963
is a good fit for an application. Motor performance is not ensured for all uses.

Rm - Motor phase resistance between phase to phase;
Lm - Motor phase to phase inductance between phase to phase;
Kt - Motor BEMF constant from phase to center tape;
fFG_max - Maximum electrical frequency. Maximum motor speed can be calculated from:
• If FGS = 1, RPM = (fFG_max × 60)/ number of pole pairs
• If FGS = 0, RPM = (fFG_max × 120)/ number of pole pairs

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV10963 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply, V(VCC), range from 2.1 and 5.5 V. The user
must place a 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor rated for VCC as close as possible to the VCC and GND pin.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The package uses an exposed pad to remove heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad must be
thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane, this can
be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs without
internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area is on
the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and bottom
layers.
For details about how to design the PCB, refer to TI application report, PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced
Package (SLMA002), and TI application brief, PowerPAD™ Made Easy (SLMA004), available at www.ti.com. In
general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated.
