3 Description
The DRV10974 device is a three-phase sensorless
motor driver with integrated power MOSFETs, which
can provide continuous drive current up to 1 A (rms).
The device is designed for cost-sensitive, low-noise,
and low-external-component-count applications.
The DRV10974 device uses a proprietary sensorless
control scheme to provide dependable commutation.
The 180° sinusoidal commutation significantly
reduces pure tone acoustics that are typical with 120°
(trapezoidal) commutation. The DRV10974 spin-up is
configured using a single external low-power resistor.
The current limit can be set by an external low-power
resistor.
The DRV10974 device provides for simple control of
motor speed by applying a PWM input to control the

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV10974 device is a three-phase sensorless motor driver with integrated power MOSFETs, which provide
drive-current capability up to 1 A continuous (rms). The device is specifically designed for low-noise, low
external-component count, 12-V motor-drive applications. The 180° commutation requires no configuration
beyond setting the peak current, the lead angle, and the acceleration profile, each of which is configured by
an external resistor.
The 180° sensorless-control scheme provides sinusoidal output voltages to the motor phases as shown in
Figure 7-1.
Figure 7-1. 180° Sensorless-Control Scheme
Interfacing to the DRV10974 device is simple and intuitive. The DRV10974 device receives a PWM input that it
uses to control the speed of the motor. The duty cycle of the PWM input is used to determine the magnitude of
the voltage applied to the motor. The resulting motor speed can be monitored on the FG pin. The FR pin is used
to control the direction of rotation for the motor. The acceleration ramp rate is controlled by the RMP pin. The
current limit is controlled by a resistor on the CS pin. The lead angle is controlled by a resistor on the ADV pin.
When the motor is not spinning, a low-power mode turns off unused circuits to conserve power.
The DRV10974 device features extensive protection and fault-detect mechanisms to ensure reliable operation.
The device provides overcurrent protection without the requirement for an external current-sense resistor. Rotorlock detect uses several methods to reliably determine when the rotor stops spinning unexpectedly. The device
provides additional protection for undervoltage lockout (UVLO), for thermal shutdown, and for phase short circuit
(phase to phase, phase to ground, phase to supply).

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Speed Input and Control
The DRV10974 device has a three-phase 25-kHz PWM (fPWM_OUT) output that has an average value of
sinusoidal waveforms from phase to phase as shown in Figure 7-2. When any phase is measured with reference
to ground, the waveform observed is a PWM-encoded sinusoid coupled with third-order harmonics as shown in
Figure 7-3. This encoding scheme simplifies the driver requirements because one phase output is always equal
to zero.

The motor speed is controlled indirectly by using the PWM command to control the amplitude of the phase
voltages which are applied to the motor. The PWM pin can be driven by either a digital duty cycle or an analog
voltage.
The duty cycle of the PWM input (PWM) is passed through a low-pass filter that ramps from 0% to 100% duty
cycle in 120 ms. The control resolution is approximately 0.2% (DCSTEP). The signal path from PWM input to
PWM motor is shown in Figure 7-5.

The output peak amplitude is described by Equation 1 when PWM dc > 15% (the minimum-operation duty cycle).
When the PWM-commanded duty cycle is lower than the minimum-operation duty cycle and higher than 1.5%
(DCON_MIN), the output is controlled the by the minimum-operation duty cycle (DCMIN). This is shown in Figure
7-6 for analog input, and for duty cycles greater than 1.5% (DCON_MIN) for digital input. If the supply voltage
(VVCC) > 14 V, the maximum PWMdc is limited to 14 V / VVCC.

Note the output peak amplitude is described by Equation 2 when the VANA > 0.27 V or 15% of 1.8 V. This is

the PWM pin is lower than the minimum-operation duty-cycle percentage but higher than the zero-speed analog
voltage (VANA_ZS), the output is controlled by the minimum-operation duty cycle. When the analog voltage on the
PWM pin is below zero-speed analog voltage, the DRV10974 enters low-power mode. This is shown in Figure
7-7.

7.3.2 Motor Direction Change
The DRV10974 device can be easily configured to drive the motor in either direction by setting the input on
the FR (forward-reverse) pin to a logic 1 or logic 0 state. The direction of commutation as described by the
commutation sequence is defined as follows:
FR = 0
U→V→W
FR = 1
U→W→V
7.3.3 Motor-Frequency Feedback (FG)
During operation of the DRV10974 device, the FG pin provides an indication of the speed of the motor. The FG
pin toggles at a rate of one time during an electrical cycle. Using this information and the number of pole pairs in
the motor, use Equation 3 to calculate the mechanical speed of the motor.
RPM
¦(FG) u
pole _ pairs
(3)
During open-loop acceleration the FG pin indicates the frequency of the signal that is driving the motor. The lock
condition of the motor is unknown during open-loop acceleration and therefore the FG pin could toggle during
this time even though the motor is not moving.
During spin down, the DRV10974 device continues to provide speed feedback on the FG pin. The DRV10974
device provides the output of the U-phase comparator on the FG pin until the motor speed drops below 10 Hz
(fFG_MIN). When the motor speed falls below 10 Hz, the device enters into the low-power mode and the FG
output is held at a logic high.
7.3.4 Lock Detection
When the motor is locked by some external condition, the DRV10974 device detects the lock condition and acts
to protect the motor and the device. The lock condition must be properly detected whether the condition occurs
as a result of a slowly increasing load or a sudden shock.
The DRV10974 device reacts to the lock condition by stopping the motor drive. To stop driving the motor, the
phase outputs are placed into a high-impedance state. After successfully transitioning into a high-impedance

state as the result of a lock condition, the DRV10974 device attempts to restart the motor after t(LOCK_OFF)
seconds.
The DRV10974 device has a comprehensive lock-detect function that includes six different lock-detect schemes.
Each of these schemes detects a particular condition of the lock as shown in Figure 7-8.

Figure 7-8. Lock Detect
The following sections describe each lock-detect scheme.
7.3.4.1 Lock Kt Measure
The DRV10974 device measures the actual Kt of the motor when transitioning from open-loop acceleration to
closed-loop acceleration. If the measured Kt is less than 200 mV, the device indicates that the handoff Kt level
was not properly reached and the lock is triggered.
7.3.4.2 Lock No Motor
The phase-U current is checked at the end of the align state. If the phase-U current is not greater than 50 mA,
then the motor is not connected. This condition is reported as a lock condition.
7.3.4.3 Lock Open Loop Abnormal
Transition from open loop to closed loop is based on the estimated value of BEMF. If during open-loop
acceleration the electrical commutation rate exceeds 200 Hz without reaching the handoff threshold, this lock is
triggered.
7.3.4.4 Lock BEMF Abnormal
For any specific motor, the integrated value of BEMF during half of an electrical cycle is a constant as shown by
the shaded gray area in Figure 7-9. This value is constant regardless of whether the motor runs fast or slow. The
DRV10974 device monitors this value and uses it as a criterion to determine if the motor is in a lock condition.
The DRV10974 device 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. Then, during closed-loop
motor operation the Ktc (Kt calculated) value is continuously updated. Finally, the Ktc value is checked to see if it
is within the range between ½ Kt and 2Kt. If the Ktc value goes beyond the acceptable range, a lock condition is
triggered as shown in Figure 7-10. Note, there is a blanking period of 0.3 s after the transition from open loop to
closed loop where the abnormal BEMF lock is momentarily disabled. The device uses this time to finalize the Kt
value that Ktc is compared against.

7.3.4.5 Lock Closed Loop Abnormal
This lock condition is active when the DRV10974 device is operating in the closed-loop mode. The motor
is indicated as not moving when the closed-loop commutation period becomes lower than half the previous
commutation period. This condition triggers the closed-loop abnormal-lock condition.
7.3.4.6 Lock Speed Abnormal
If the motor is in normal operation, the motor BEMF is always less than the voltage applied to the phase. The
sensorless-control algorithm of the DRV10974 device is continuously updating the value of the motor BEMF
based on the speed of the motor and the motor Kt as shown in Figure 7-11. If the calculated value for motor
BEMF is 1.5 times higher than the applied voltage on phase U (VU) for an electrical period then an error is
present in the system, and 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 is triggered.

7.3.5 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 (I(LIMIT)). The soft current-limit scheme is shown in Figure 7-12 based on
the calculation in Equation 4.
The soft current-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. The I(LIMIT) current is configured by an external resistor
(R(CS)) as shown in Table 7-1.
Rm
VU = BEMF + I × Rm
M
If VU < BEMF + I(LIMIT) × Rm
I < I(LIMIT)
BEMF = Kt × speed
Current Limit:
VUmax = BEMF + I(LIMIT) × Rm

Use Equation 4 to calculate the I(LIMIT) value.

high-impedance state if the current in any motor phase exceeds the short-circuit protection limit I(OC_LIMIT).

short-circuit condition is improved. This function is intended to protect the device and the motor from catastrophic
failure when subjected to a short-circuit condition.
7.3.7 Overtemperature Protection
The DRV10974 device has a thermal shutdown function which disables the motor operation when the
device junction temperature has exceeded the TSD temperature. Motor operation resumes when the junction
temperature becomes lower than TSD – TSD(hys).
7.3.8 Undervoltage Protection
The DRV10974 device has an undervoltage lockout feature, which prevents motor operation whenever the
supply voltage (VCC) becomes too low. Upon power up, the DRV10974 device operates when VCC rises above
V(UVLO_F) + Vhys(UVLO). The DRV10974 device continues to operate until VCC falls below V(UVLO_F).

If the frequency is greater than 10 Hz the motor is decelerated until it is below 10 Hz or a 5-second time-out has
occurred.
7.4.1.3 Align
To align the rotor to the commutation logic, the DRV10974 device applies a current equivalent to the closed-loop
run current to phase U by driving phases V and W equally. This condition is maintained for a maximum of 0.67
s (tALIGN). To avoid a sudden change in current that could result in undesirable acoustics, the voltage applied to
the motor is changed gradually to obtain a current change of 12 A/s.
7.4.2 Open-Loop Acceleration
After the motor is confirmed to be stationary and after completing the motor initialization, the DRV10974 device
begins to accelerate the motor. This acceleration is accomplished by applying a voltage to the motor at the
appropriate drive state and increasing the rate of commutation without regard to the actual position of the motor
(referred to as open-loop operation). The function of the open-loop operation is to drive the motor to a minimum
speed so that the motor generates sufficient BEMF to allow the commutation control logic to drive the motor
accurately.
The motor start-up profile can be configured using an external resistor to set the acceleration profile before
transitioning to closed-loop operation. Figure 7-14 shows this acceleration profile. During closed-loop operation
the RMP pin controls the closed-loop acceleration and deceleration. Table 7-2 lists the selectable acceleration
parameters.

The start-up peak current is controlled by the current-sense limit resistor, R(CS). The start current is set by
selecting the R(CS) resistor based on Table 7-3. The current should be selected to allow the motor to accelerate
reliably to the handoff threshold. Heavier loads may require a higher current setting, but the rate of acceleration
is limited by the selected resistor, R(RMP).

7.4.4 Closed Loop
When the motor accelerates to the target BEMF threshold, commutation control transitions from open-loop mode
to closed-loop mode. During this transition, the motor is allowed to coast for one electrical cycle to measure Kt.
The commutation drive sequence and timing are determined by the internal control algorithm, and the applied
voltage is determined by the PWM-commanded duty-cycle input. The closed-loop acceleration and deceleration
values are provided in Table 7-2.
7.4.5 Control Advance Angle
To achieve the best efficiency, the drive state of the motor must be controlled such that the current is aligned with
the BEMF voltage of the motor. Figure 7-15 illustrates the operation when the drive angle has been optimized.
For complete flexibility, the DRV10974 device offers a wide range of fixed lead times. The options for lead time
are controlled by a resistor on the ADV pin. The values available are shown in Table 7-4.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Assuming the motor used in the application falls within the recommended application range shown in Table 8-2,
the DRV10974 device is simple and intuitive to interface with. The DRV10974 device receives a PWM input that
it uses to control the speed of the motor. The duty cycle of the PWM input is used to determine the magnitude of
the voltage applied to the motor. The resulting motor speed can be monitored on the FG pin. The FR pin is used
to control the direction of rotation for the motor. As a result, the only configuration and customization is dictated
by the RMP, ADV, and CS pins.
The resistor on the CS pin is usually determined by the application specifications. Because the CS pin
determines the current limit, specifications such as motor current or input power can determine what value
the current limit can be set to. Then, the RMP and ADV resistors must be set experimentally through tuning. The
RMP pin sets the acceleration profile of the motor. If the RMP pin is set to faster acceleration, the motor starts up
faster but may be more likely to fail start-up. In addition, the ADV resistor controls the lead time so the applied
current is aligned with the BEMF of the motor. If the ADV resistor is incorrectly selected, the motor may not run
efficiently or at all.
As a result, the RMP pin is usually set to the slowest profile while ADV is correctly tuned. Then, the RMP can
be set to a different value that allows for a faster acceleration with no impact to start-up reliability. This process,
and other design considerations, are documented extensively in the DRV10974 Technical Documents tab on the
DRV10974 product page.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The DRV10974 device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply, VCC , range between 4.4 V and 18 V.
The user must place a minimum of a 10-µF capacitor rated for VCC between the VCC and GND pins and as close
as possible to the VCC and GND pins.
If the power supply ripple is more than 200 mV, in addition to the local decoupling capacitors, a bulk capacitance
is required and must be sized according to the application requirements.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
Use thick traces when routing to the VCC, GND, U, V, and W pins, because high current passes through these
traces.
Place the 10-µF capacitor between VCC and GND, and as close to the VCC and GND pins as possible.
Place the 100-nF capacitor between VCP and VCC, and as close to the VCP and VCC pins as possible.
Connect GND and PGND under the thermal pad.
Keep the thermal pad connection as large as possible. It should be one piece of copper without any gaps.
