Functional Description
1. Sensorless Drive Mode
Based on the analog voltage input for a startup operation, the rotor is aligned to a known position in DC
excitation mode. Then the forced commutation signal is generated to start the motor rotation. As the motor
rotates, the back-EMF occurs in each phase of the coil.
When a signal indicating the polarity of three phase voltage of the motor, including the back-EMF, is
detected at the position signal inputs (WAVEP, WAVEM), the motor driving signal is automatically switched
from the forced commutation PWM signal to the normal commutation PWM signal that is based on the
position signal input (back-EMF). Then, a BLDC motor starts running in sensorless commutation mode.
2. Startup Operation
At startup, no induced voltage is generated due to the stationary motor, and the rotor position cannot be
detected in sensorless mode. Therefore, the TB6588FG rotor is first aligned to a known position in DC
excitation mode for an appropriate period of time, and then the motor is started in forced commutation mode.
The DC excitation and forced commutation times are determined by external capacitors. These time settings
vary depending on the motor type and load, so that they should be adjusted experimentally.

The rotor is aligned to a known position specified in DC excitation mode for the period of (a), during which
the IP pin voltage decreases from V
REF
to V
REF
/2. The time constant for the period is determined by C
2
and
R
1
. Then, operation mode is switched to forced commutation mode for the period of (b) as shown above. The
duty cycles for DC excitation and forced commutation modes are determined according to the SC pin voltage.
When the motor rotation frequency exceeds the forced commutation frequency specified by FST1 and FST2,
the operation mode is switched to the sensorless mode. The duty cycle for sensorless mode is determined by
V
SP.
