4.6.3 Secondary Incremental ABN Encoder

For commutating a motor with FOC, the user selects a position sensor source (digital incremental encoder,

digital Hall, analog Hall, analog incremental encoder, . . . ) that is mounted close to the motor. The inner

FOC loop controls torque and ﬂux of the motor based on the measured phase currents and the electrical

angle of the rotor.

The TMC4671 is equipped with a secondary incremental encoder interface. This secondary encoder

interface is available as source for velocity control or position control. This is for applications where a

motor with a gearing positions an object.

Info

The secondary incremental encoder is not available for commutation (phi_e) for

the inner FOC. In others words, there is no electrical angle phi_e selectable from

the secondary encoder.

4.6.4 Digital Hall Sensor Interface with optional Interim Position Interpolation

The digital Hall interface is the position sensor interface for digital Hall signals. The digital Hall signal

interface ﬁrst maps the digital Hall signals to an electrical position PHI_E_RAW. An oﬀset PHI_E_OFFSET can

be used to rotate the orientation of the Hall signal angle. The electrical angle PHI_E is for commutation.

Optionally, the default electrical positions of the Hall sensors can be adjusted by writes into the associated

registers.
