I am trying to control the speed of brushless DC motor by providing a PWM signal from a STM32 micro to the Vref pin of L6235 as shown below. My motor has a 1/156 gear ratio. When I apply the variable PWM to the VREF pin, it doesn't change the speed instead the motor keeps rotating and makes a huge noise. What I am missing here?

Your capacitor may not be large enough.

What is the switching frequency of you PWM signal?
With those values for RLP and RDIV, CLP should be a minimum of FPWM / 100kHz * 10nF where FPWM is your PWM switching frequency.

1KHZ

 

1KHZ

Then CLP should be a minimum of 100kHz / 1kHz * 10nF = 1000nF = 1µF with the given resistor values.

 

Then CLP should be a minimum of 100kHz / 1kHz * 10nF = 1000nF = 1µF with the given resistor values.

Thank you but may shouldn't it be 1KHz/100KHz according to what you mentioned above? or is the equation reversed?

Yes, I incorrectly showed it reversed.
Should be 100kHz / FPWM.
