3Phase hub motor control

Hello everyone,

I have been working on this project for some time, but had a problem this morning. I found out that the motor that I had to use was a 3 phase motor and I never worked with 3 phase motors before.
This is the motor that I want to use: LINK

I had already worked on a DC motor controller using a PIC16 micro controller. I attached a picture of the circuit. It is made for 2 motors to work together to drive a robot. It also has forward and reverse capabilities.
Is it possible to adjust this circuit to make it possible for a 3 phase motor?

Regards

The link shows a BLDC motor which although the motors are practically identical, 3 phase is a little more involved.
I suggest you look at Microchip Development board MC LV the site details of the board include schematics and software listing.

I found the DRV8312/32
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/405/drv8332-483172.pdf

It suits my application more from the voltage and current point of view.

Just one thing I can't really get yet is the concept of the PWM control.
Do I need 6 PWM? (For 3 for PWM_x and 3 for RESET_x) Or can I set the RESET_x as the inverse of PWM_x using inverting op-amps or equivalent.
If not what is the relationship between the two?

Also what is the relationship between PWM_A, PWM_B and PWM_C?

Thank you in advance

You need a 3 phase bridge although a BLDC motor is not strictly 3ph as only two windings are energized at any given time.
If you Google BLDC PWM bridge you should see many examples.

I have used the MC33035 some time ago, it worked for me, at that time Motorola was sending out a sample PCCT development board to build on, so it made it relatively easy.

so I add 3x2110? One for each high side mosfet?

also, can I use the hall sensor for driving the rpm if I connect it to the uC?

alright then, here I have two choices, either connect the fout of mc33039 to uC and the PWM from uC to PWM pin on mc33035.
Or connect the PWM to EA of mc33035(using a buck converter) and fout of mc33039 to PWM of mc 33035.

do you think it would work and which one do you think is better?

If just using a μp I would think the easiest is to use it for PWM together with IR2110.
I gave up the MC33035 in favour of Picmicro as the programs in the link in post #6 but they are in Assembly.
