AD-FMCMOTCON1-EBZ Signal Measurement Chain
The motor control system allows the measurement of the Ia(phase A current), Ib(phase B current) and It(total current) as well as the measurement of Vbus using signal chains which involve components from both the controller and low voltage driver boards.
Ia, Ib Measurement Signal Chain
The Ia and Ib currents are sensed using 6mΩ shunt resistors. There are two possible measurement paths showing measurement techniques for the case where the ADC can be placed close to the shunt resistor and for the case where the ADC cannot be placed in the proximity of the shunt resistor. Both techniques aim to get the best measurement accuracy.
The ADC is placed in the proximity of the shunt resistor
- The signal path between the shunt resistor and the ADC is very short and less prone to noise coupling.
- The small differential voltage on the shunt resistor is measured directly with the AD7401 isolated ΣΔ modulator without the need of extra interfacing and signal conditioning circuitry
- The digital data and clock signals of the ADC travel the entire length of the drive and controller boards all the way to the FPGA. Since the analog signals were digitized close to the source and sent in a digital format to the FPGA there are no concerns related to the quality of the measurements.
Ia, Ib XADC Measurement Signal Chain
The Ia and Ib XADC measurement chain utilizes the entire path of the regular measurement chain and adds on the controller board after the AD7401 isolated ΣΔ modulator a Sallen Key analog reconstruction filter implemented using AD8646 operational amplifiers. The combination between the isolated ΣΔ modulator and the analog reconstruction filter provides a convenient and cheap way to achieve analog isolation of the XADC input signals. This analog isolation technique is described in this paper.
Vbus Measurement Signal Chain
Vbus sensing is done on the drive board using a resistive divider and an attenuation circuit implemented with the AD8207 operational amplifier. The total gain of this stage is 0.83 giving an output range of 0..5V. The analog signals go through the connector to the controller board. On the controller board the analog signals coming from the drive board are transferred from the 0..5V input range to a 0..250mV range suited for the AD7401 ΣΔ modulator. The attenuation is done using the ADA4084-2 amplifier.
Vbus XADC Measurement Signal Chain
The Vbus XADC measurement chain utilizes the entire path of the regular measurement chain and adds on the controller board after the AD7401 isolated ΣΔ modulator a Sallen Key analog reconstruction filter implemented using AD8646 operational amplifiers. The combination between the isolated ΣΔ modulator and the analog reconstruction filter provides a convenient and cheap way to achieve analog isolation of the XADC input signals. This analog isolation technique is described in this paper.
