Hello guys,
I have a quick question regarding some things in DRV8302 driver schematic. For the past year I’ve been working on some custom BLDC drivers using the TI’s DRV8302 chip. I based the design on the “typical application” from the datasheet but up until now I haven’t realized that a part of it is completely useless for the FOC control (I think :D).
So my question is, what do you think that these parts of the power stage are for?
All the X_SENSE labels lead to ADC of the microcontroller. From my research it seems that those are for some direct “voltage sensing” thing. Am I right about it being unnecessary for FOC control of BLDC motors using SimpleFOC?
Just wanted to ask somebody who might have experience with this before I discard it from my PCB to save space :D.
Thank you!!
Adam
