Hi, I hope the question is not too silly :] I spent my fair time trying to google it out, thought I did it, got the part and then realized it's not going to do the job :]

What I need is a method to shuffle 3 wires with MCU signal (hall sensors signals coming from hub wheel to controller board). That would enable me to control it's rotation direction.

Let's say we have ABC->ABC connection, it then rotates CC. I need to be able to shuffle them and get ABC->BCA connected. It works if I do it manually. I thought I can do it with 1to2 demux IC, but they keep „unsused“ output HIGH, which is not ok for my application.

 

If I understand your problem you simply need to apply a circular shift: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_shift
Or a LFSR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-feedback_shift_register

 

If I understand what you are trying to do I thing two x two inpur MUXs should work. In your second sentance you say "I need to be able to shuffle them and get ABC->BCA" That is not reversing the sequence. It is just moving one step forward. If we put in several revolutions worth you will see it is not changing the sequence.

ABCABCABCABCABC

You need to swap A with C. So the sequence becomes BCA. We will call the output signals X, Y, Z. B would be connected directly to Y.
X would connect to A via one MUX for forward and to C for reverse.
Z would connect to C via the other MUX for forward and to A for reverse.

Should we call outputs XYZ, B is only connected to Y in forward. In reverse it's connected (getting 1-0 data) from A input.

I guess basically what I need is 3 pairs of electronically controlled spdt switches.

 

Got, I think this is what I need: http://www.futurlec.com/Maxim/MAX333.shtml

 

Nope, I need it to work with 5V supply and 3.3 logic control...

 

I don't understand why you need to switch the signals. The Hall sensors are there to tell you the position of the rotor so the MCU can switch the currents to the motor to control the speed and direction. You don't need to change the hall sensor connections o change the direction.he MCU should do that for you.
Are you trying to retrofit a directional control on a single direction motor?
If so, you could just use one of these..

3 poles for the Hall sensors and one for an indicator LED to show it is in reverse.

 

If you have access to the MCU code, then do it in software. I'll assume that's not an option.

Assuming that denddad's suggestion isn't applicable, one thing to keep in mind is that you don't need to switch all three signals -- swap any two of them and you've reversed the direction.

Let's say you have ABCABCABC.

Now, swap A and B and you have

BACBACBAC

Are these signals digital? It sounds like it from the solutions you have been trying (unless you are using analog MUXes?)

Assuming they are digital, then two 2-input MUXes and an inverter should do it.

 

If you can give some more details of what you are trying to do we should be able to see why none of the suggestions so far meet your needs. We all seem to be assuming that you are trying to reverse a brushless DC motor. Why is the software solution not acceptable ? Why in post #4 do you say that you need "3 pairs of electronically controlled spdt switches" ? Swapping all 3 signals WILL NOT REVERSE the direction.
Posting a schematic would be a great help.

Les.

 

Got the point, WBahn. Though I think this wouldn't work, since it would offset all the signals from halls in relationship to the main phases signals.Your example also gives BAC, and what I need is BCA.

Doing it in software isn't possible since I'm using a hardware controller (MCU only controls speed via pwm). It has a reverse function, but it's not working correctly. I accidentally found out that by physically swaping hall wires I can reverse it's motion, so that's what I'm trying to do - kind of fool it around.

Here we go:

 

What I suggested in post #3 and what WBahn suggested in post #8 should work. I suggested swapping over A and C and WBahn suggested swapping A and B (Swapping B an C would also work.) Think of it just like reversing a three phase induction motor. A single CD4053 IC would probably work. You need to specify the signal levels of thedirection control signal and the signals that you are swapping over. You also need to specify the input resistance of the device that the hall signals are driving. We could then give you a better idea of a suitable multiplexor IC.

Les.

 

Bingo - CD4053 looks like exactly what I need! Hall signals are +5, control +3.3, so according to datasheet it should do the job perefectly. Thanks, will let you know the result!

 

You need to swap A with C. So the sequence becomes BCA.

That's still an ABC sequence.
You need to swap A and B (or B and C) so the sequence is CBA.
