Pin detailed specifications

Power circuit

Function

The powering circuit provides power to the controller's logic. The KEY input is internally connected with the battery plus terminal via an internal fuse (if selected). Power to the internal SMPS is controlled by an electronic switch which is commanded through the POWER input.

Due to the flip-flop feature (if selected), the powering circuit has a latching functionality and it is not needed to keep the voltage applied on the power circuit. The controller is turned ON if the voltage on the POWER pin is higher than 10 V and turned off once the voltage is below 1 V. The flip-flop also enables turning off the controller from the MCU (automatic power off).

The powering circuit has several modifiable soldered jumpers (needs to be specified during ordering - not possible to modify it after the manufacturing process) which can modify its functionality (see)

General purpose analog/digital inputs

Function

These five inputs can be used for processing analogue and digital voltage levels in the range from 0 - 10 V. These inputs are galvanically isolated from the Power GND, motor sensor GND and external UART GND. The controller offers three isolated power sources. One with an output voltage of +5 V, the second with +10 V and the third one with +3 V. These can be used as a power source for the external components (e.g. throttle). Pull-up and pull-down resistors on all five inputs can be set individually by an FW parameter.

Non-isolated digital inputs

Function

Non-isolated digital inputs are for processing application digital signals (e.g. buttons). These inputs are part of the MSENS circuit and are available only for the MSENS "a" assembly variant. The operating range is 0 V - 5 V. The reference potential is common with the controller's power GND.

Motor postion sensor

Variant - a

Function

Motor position sensor variant "a" can process 3 hall sensors or sin/cos position sensors and 2 inputs that can be used as non-isolated digital inputs (more information about DINs here ).

HALLV/SIN and HALLU/COS inputs have combined functions. These inputs can process digital as well as analogue signals, which means that can be used for sensing two state Halls and also sin and cosine signals. HALLW/COM can be used only for sensing digital signals. All these inputs work in the range from 0 - 5 V. Reference potential is shared with the main GND (internally connected to BATT-).

Scheme

variant - r

Function

Motor position sensor variant "r" can excite the motor resolver and process signals from it.

HALLV/SIN and HALLU/COS inputs can process analogue signals and are used for sensing sin and cos outputs from the resolver. HALLW/COM is used as common ground for the sin and cos outputs. Excitation for the resolver is taken from ENCA and ENCB/DATA. The reference potential is shared with the main GND (internally connected to BATT-).

Grounding

The controller has two grounding potentials GND and GNDIO. This ensures lower signal interferences and also acts as a protection mechanism. For some applications, these two grounding potentials can be an unwanted feature. It is possible to connect these two grounds by the interlal configuration.
