FT3106
Three Phase Sensorless BLDC Motor Controller
Description
The FT3106 is a Three Phase sensorless BLDC Motor
controller. Due to its adaptive features and wide
power-supply range capabilities, it is intended to cover a
wide range of motor characteristics, while requiring
minimal tuning from the user. Speed adjustment can be
achieved through either direct-PWM or analog voltage
control.
Speed indicator is provided through a Frequency
Generator output, generating digital pulse with its
frequency proportional to the speed of the motor.
Protection functions of FT3106 are comprehensive
including lock protection and automatic recovery, under
voltage, thermal shutdown, current limit and over current
protections.
These prevent the control circuits and the
motor from being damaged, particularly under stressed
applications and demanding environments.

Functional Description and Notes
Please read the following notes before designing driver circuits with FT3106.
1. Motor Start.
During startup, no induced voltage is generated due to the stationary motor, and the rotor position cannot be detected
in sensorless mode. Therefore, FT3106 rotor first aligns the rotor to a known position in DC excitation mode for an
appropriate period of time, but rotor also can be unaligned at first according to the actual conditions by ALIGN pin.
This is followed with a forced commutation mode, where the duty cycle of PWM and the frequency of commutation
are determined by the RPI pin and the RSF pin separately. The duty cycle of PWM increases proportionally with the
increasing RPI voltage, while the period of commutation increases proportionally with the RSF voltage. The RSF and
RPI voltage settings may vary depending on the motor type and load, so that they should be experimentally adjusted
carefully. Starting of motor may fail if unsuitable values of RSF and RPI are used. The voltage range of RPI and RSF
is 0V to VDD5+0.3V.
When the motor rotates, generating stable and detectable back-EMF, correct position can be
detected and forced commutation will transit into sensorless commutation.
2. PWM Output
FT3106 can be programmed to drive the motor with the traditional BLDC (120°) mode. The voltage and current
sequence diagram is shown in Figure 1.

3. Speed Control Methods
FT3106 has two methods to adjust the motor speed, using PWM pin by adjusting its duty cycle or using SREF pin by
adjusting the voltage level. Please note that during speed adjustment with PWM, SREF must be disabled and pulled
high. Conversely during speed adjustment with SREF, PWM must be disabled and pulled high.
When adjusting speed with PWM, the speed is varied by performing switching in accordance with the duty cycle that
is provided to the PWM pin. When adjusting speed with SREF, speed is adjusted by an internally generated PWM
with the duty cycle determined by the equation:
