I have made a driver circuit for a sensored bldc motor using mc33035. This circuit is similar to the application circuit(given in fig.19 and fig 36) in the ic's data sheet. I have used TIP127 and TIP122 as upper and lower gate mosfets respectively. The frequency is determined by a 10kΩ resistor and 10nf capacitor. The current limiting is set for 4.25 A by using a 0.5Ω resistor and voltage reference of 2V given the the op-amp integrated in the given ic.


however I am having problem in starting the motor. The motor does not start on its own for some positions of the the rotor and also once I stop the motor by using brake or by making its speed 0, it does not start on its own. it also starts vibrating at some rotor positions.The motor runs well once i start the motor by hand. The motor has sensors at 120° and is a out-runner motor.

 

It's a common problem with sensored BLDC drivers.

Google "motor starting system on sensored BLDC driver" or similar.

 

I did try that before but did not find and substatial information to solve this problem.

 

Keep trying!

It's a common problem, I think one common fix is to first manually activate a couple phases in sequence to give the rotor a "kick" which gets the hall sensors working and gets the motor phased right.

 

With a sensored system, there should never be any dead spots, if there are, the motor is either phased wrong or you have a 60/120deg sensor spacing issue, some controllers do have a select pin for this.

 

Check if pin 22 of your controller is pulled up or down. This pin Select the sensor angle.

yes pin22 is pulled low for 120 degree sensor angle. And I have confirmed with the motor manufacturer for the sensor angle and he too told me that the sensors were placed at 120 degrees. And for the motor works perfectly fine if I connect it with with an another circuit bloc driver circuit that is a bit different.

 

tip 127 and tip122's are "fet's"? last time I looked they were called darlington transistors.

 

Ok it was a problem with the IC I suppose. I ordered other ones and the circuit works perfectly well. Thanks for the help.

They are darlington transistors, but I figured out that they work better than FETs and are cheaper

 

Hi aaditpj, I make circuit in fig.36 but not operation. I'm not understand why not complete. Please send to your schematic. Thank you.

 

Hello,

You just made a necropost.
The OP has not been online since jul 2016 and will likely not answer.
You say you made figure 36 of the datasheet:



What is not working?
You might also want to have a look at the attached application note.

This is figure that I made, but not operation.

I haven't use MC33039. So, that is the problem? I don't understand pin 9 of IC. Please help me. Thank you. Sorry, I read English not well.

 

Pin 9 is used as a current sense input it monitors the current flow through .05Ω resistor which is in the current path to common for all the Mosfets..
Shuts the outputs off in the case of over current.

That' a major problem. You need to sense the rotor position to get correct commutation of the coils.
Pin 9 is an input for a current-sense amplifier and receives a voltage developed across a current-sense resistor in series with the motor coils.

 

Here is a App note from Motorola on the 33035 and its companion 33039 IC for closed loop, They used to make a board available for prototyping as seen in the PDF.

Thank you very much for your support . Can't I use IC MC33039 because I don't buy it where I live.

 

BLDC motor I use : 700W, max current 40A. I'm using tip122 and tip127 for up and low gate, source from battery 1800mhA, 25-50 discharge. I'm also checking sircuit, but when I start, tip are very hot. I think the problem is battery.

 

Your not using Mosfet?
If you use a charge pump IC, IR211o etc, you can use all N channel mosfets.

If you're trying to push 40A through a TIP transistor which drops, say, 1V from collector to emitter then the TIP will be dissipating 40W. Not surprising it gets hot!
