Motor Speed Control LM3524

This document describes a circuit that controls motor speed without a tachometer by using the motor's back electromotive force (EMF) in a feedback loop. The circuit uses an LM3524 chip to pulse width modulate the motor drive transistor. It differentiates and samples the motor's back EMF to complete the speed control loop and maintain a constant motor speed. The sample and hold IC remembers the back EMF voltage to regulate the LM3524 control signal and keep the motor speed consistent.

"SENSORLESS" Motor Speed ControI

:70shows the LM3524 in an arrangement which controls the speed oI a motor without
requiring the usual tachometer or other speed pick-oII. This circuit uses the back EMF oI
the motor to bias a Ieedback loop, which controls motor speed. When power is applied, the
positive input oI the LM3524 is at a higher potential than the negative input. Under these
conditions, the output oI the LM3524 is biased Iull on (90 duty cycle).

The output transistors, paralleled in the common emitter conIiguration, drive the 2N5023
and the motor turns. (LM3524 output is waveIorm A, Figure 8; waveIorm B is the 2N5023
collector.) The LM3524 output pulse is also used to drive a 1000 pF-500 kO diIIerentiator
network whose output is compared to the LM3524`s internal 5V reIerence.

The result is a delayed pulse (Figure 8, waveIorm D), which is used to trigger an LF398
sample-hold IC. As the waveIorms show, the sample-hold is gated high (ON) just as the
2N5023 collector stops supplying current to the motor. At this instant, the motor coils
produce a Ilyback pulse, which is damped by the shunt diode. (Motor waveIorm is Figure
8, trace C). AIter the Ily back pulse decays, the back EMF oI the motor remains.

This voltage is 'remembered by the sample-hold IC when the sample trigger pulse ceases
and is used to complete the speed control loop back at the LM3524 input. The 10k-4k
divider at the motor output insures the LF398`s output will always be within the common
range oI the LM3524`s input. The 10k-1 F combination provides Iiltering during the time
the LF398 is sampling. The diode associated with this time constant prevents any possible
LF398 negative output Irom damaging the LM3524.

The 10 MO resistor paralleling the 0.01 F sampling capacitor prevents the servo Irom
'hanging up iI this capacitor somehow manages to charge above the motor`s back EMF
value. The 39k-100 F pair sets the loop Irequency response. The maximum pulse-width-
modulator duty cycle is clamped by the 2k-2k divider and diode at 80, thus avoiding
overshoot and aiding transient response at turn-on and during large positive step changes.
The 60k-0.1 F values at pins 6 and 7 set the pulse modulation Irequency at 300 Hz.
