Introduction
More Stringent Energy Regulations Drive Motor Control Innovations
In today’s expanding industrial marketplace, the demand for electrical power is growing at an unprecedented rate. More than 40% of that electrical
demand comes from industrial electric motors of all sizes. Because of that phenomenon, governments and certification agencies worldwide are
introducing new regulatory legislation and more stringent energy efficiency requirements on electric motor OEMs and end users. Like many great
technological innovations, there needs to be a pressing demand in the market for change.

Analog Devices recognized years ago that this new era of smarter and highly efficient motor control systems would be the new standard for the motor
control industry. As part of that recognition, ADI embarked on an integrated and comprehensive motor control design program in collaboration with our
strategic partners, who are experts in their respective fields (MathWorks,® ARM,® Boston Engineering,® IAR Systems,® and Xilinx®), aimed at addressing
the entire system architecture to achieve the greatest level of efficiency while improving system accuracy and reliability.

By taking a system-level view (see Figure 1) of these new challenges, ADI was able to develop products that not only exceeded the individual
performance specifications but also represented the optimal interface between other functional blocks of the circuit. This system solution approach
enables ADI to offer industrial-based customers a completely integrated solution that fits their specific needs while helping them meet the new, more
stringent energy regulations.

Isolated Gate Drivers

Overcoming Limitations of Optocouplers and High Voltage
Gate Driver Solutions
Isolated gate drivers provide electrical isolation as well as strong gate drive capability, which
is often required for safety and robustness in many system architectures. The isolated gate
driver portfolio from Analog Devices offers designers performance and reliability advantages
over designs utilizing optocouplers or pulse transformers. Utilizing ADI’s proven iCoupler
technology, the isolated gate driver family offers the advantage of a maximum propagation
delay of 50 ns, less than 5 ns channel-to-channel matching, a 50-year lifetime for 400 V rms
working voltage, and galvanic isolation in a single package.

Isolated Σ-Δ Modulators—Voltage and Current Sensing

The high performance AD7403 isolated Σ-Δ modulator enables more accurate current and volt-
age sense feedback. Wider dynamic range enables the use of smaller shunts, improving system
efficiency and motor to drive matching. Superior modulator performance coupled with an external
clock of 20 MHz provides flexibility in performance/latency trade-offs in applications such as
robotics where dynamic response is important. The AD7403 also features an isolation scheme with
a higher continuous working voltage (VIORM) than the previous generation and is offered in packages
providing 8.3 mm creepage and clearance.

Nonisolated Interface Devices

Analog Devices offers a wide range of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485
transceivers to suit many applications. The RS-232 specification allows
for reliable data transmission from one transmitter to one receiver at data
rates of up to 20 kbps over relatively short distances (up to 50 feet). On
more recent RS-232 transceiver chips, data rates of up to 1 Mbps are
achievable over shorter distances (up to 5 feet). The RS-485 specification
meets the requirements for a truly multipoint communications network,
while the RS-422 specification satisfies simplex multidrop standards.

Resolver-to-Digital Converters
Many motor control systems operate at variable shaft rotation speeds.
To provide the most accurate position information, a system with flex-

ADSP-SC58x Multicore SHARC+ ARM System on Chip (SOC)

The new ADSP-SC58x processor family complements the SHARC+® cores and DSP accelerators with the addition of an ARM® Cortex-A5 processor to
deliver 24 giga-floating operations per second performance at under 2 W at high temperature. For highly complex, multiaxis motor control applications,
the task-sharing architecture allows the SHARC cores to focus on the highest precision algorithms for motor control, and the ARM core on time-sensitive
handling of the network stack. In addition, it contains safety features such as memory protection and divergent cores to meet the higher SIL ratings required
for the new systems.

Standard Linear Products

Current Sense Amplifiers
Current sense amplifiers are used when a shunt resistor is placed in the high side or low side and high accuracy over temperature is required in
harsh environments. In motor control, normally the bidirectional capability will be needed. In order to build fast and accurate control loops, the step
response time and common-mode voltage step immunity are critical.

14 Motor Control Systems and Design

Difference Amplifiers
Difference amplifiers can be used for voltage and current sensing in motor control systems because
they can reject very high common-mode voltage. They will enable the low voltage converters to
interface with the high voltage industrial environment. This is especially true when functional
isolation is needed. Excellent drift and CMRR are the advantages of ADI’s difference amplifiers.

Part Number CMV (±V) CMRR (dB) Min Gain Gain Drift (ppm/°C) Max VOS Drift (μV/°C) Max
AD8479 600 90 1 5 10
AD629 270 86 1 10 10
AD628 120 75 0.1 to 100 adj 5 no external 8 no external

There are other cases that will need attenuation and/or level shifting in the signal conditioning.
In industrial sites, anything higher than the power supply common-mode voltage will be seen by
these difference amplifiers.

Part Number CMV (±V) CMRR (dB) Min Gain Gain Drift (ppm/°C) Max IQ/Amp (mA) Comment

AD8273/AD8274 3 (–VS) + 4.5 to 3 (+VS) – 4.5 77 0.5 or 2 2 2.6 AD8273 is dual

Precision Op Amps
Precision op amps are used as signal conditioning in the motor control systems. They will be used
as the sensor to ADC interface, thus the rail-to-rail input and output in high linearity will be needed.
They can also be used between the resolver-to-digital converter (RDC) and the resolver to provide
high current in high slew rate and accuracy. Wider bandwidth amplifiers will be used to detect the
fast changing current in the system.

Low Noise MEMS Accelerometers for Condition Monitoring

MEMS accelerometers are finding their way into condition monitoring products due to several
attractive attributes, not the least of which is lowering the overall cost of the system. MEMS sensors
bring small size and weight, low power, a dc response for fast recovery from overload, high shock
tolerance, highly integrated solutions, and, maybe most importantly, scalable manufacturing.

The AD-FMCMOTCON2-EBZ is a complete high performance servo
system on an FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) board. It provides a
complete motor drive system to demonstrate efficient and high
dynamic control of 3-phase PMSM and induction motors up to 48 V
and 20 A and enables users to model and implement motor control

Analog Devices has a long and proud tradition of collaborating with the industry’s leading technology companies from across the globe. ADI’s
products and system-level solutions have been refined and enhanced with the help of our global technology partners by leveraging their
industry-leading innovations in software, embedded technologies, and system integration expertise.

ARM Holdings plc is the world’s leading semiconductor intellectual property (IP) supplier. The
technology ARM designs are at the heart of many of the digital electronic products sold. ARM has
an innovative business model. Instead of bearing the costs associated with manufacturing, ARM
licenses its technology to a network of partners, mainly leading semiconductor manufacturers and
OEMs. These partners utilize ARM’s designs to create smart, low energy chips suitable for modern
electronic devices.
