The raw signal (ENC_A_RAW) is divided by a voltage divider and ﬁltered by a lowpass ﬁlter. A pull up resistor

is applied for open collector encoder output signals. Diodes protect the input pin (ENC_A) against over-

and undervoltage. The cutoﬀ-frequency of the lowpass is:

10.4 Analog Frontend

Analog Encoders are encoding the motor position into sinusoidal signals. These signals need to be

digitalized by the TMC4671 in order to determine the rotor position. The input voltage range depends on

V5 input, which is usually 5V and GNDA (usually 0V). Due to nonlinearity issues of the ADC near input limits,

an ADC input value from 1V to 4V is recommended. For a single ended application, the sample circuit from

ﬁg. 35 can be used. All single ended analog input pins (AGPI_A, AGPI_B and ADC_VM) have their negative

input value tied to GNDA internally, so this sample circuit can also be used for them.

Figure 35: Sample Circuit for Interfacing of a single ended analog signal

If the power stage and the TMC4671 share a common ground, the ADC_VM input signal can be generated

by a voltage divider to scale the voltage down to the needed range.

If the analog encoder has diﬀerential output signals, these can be used without signal conditioning (no OP

AMPs), when voltage range matches. Diﬀerential analog inputs can be used to digitize diﬀerential analog

input signals with high common mode voltage error suppression.

10.5 Phase Current Measurement

The TMC4671 requires two phase currents of a 2 or 3 phase motor to be measured. For a DC Motor only

one current in the phase needs to be measured (see Fig. 37). In the ADC engine mapping of current signals

to motor phases can be changed. Default setting is I0 to be the current running into the motor in phase U

for a 3 phase motor. Respectively the current running into the motor from half-bridge X1 of a 2 phase

motor. Figs. 36 and 37 illustrates the currents to be measured and their positive direction.
