3.1 Speed Input Mode

The MCF8329HS offers four options to control the speed of the motor: PWM, frequency, Analog, and I2C. The desired speed mode can be set by changing the value of the SPEED_MODE register on the Advanced Tuning page. A description of how to configure these control methods is provided in the Motor Control Input Options section of the MCF8329HS Sensorless Field Oriented Control (FOC) Three-phase BLDC Gate Driver Data Sheet.

Speed Mode Selection Figure 3-1 Speed Mode Selection

If I2C speed input is chosen, flip SW1 away from the other switches, see Figure 3-2, this will provide a the wake switch signal to the SPEED/WAKE pin to keep the MCF8329HS out of sleep/standby mode. If a speed mode other than I2C is being used, flip the switch to the opposite as what is shown in Figure 3-2 to connect the speed pin to J13. For information on how to set J13, see the Description of User-Selectable Settings on MCF8329HSEVM (Default in Bold) table in the MCF8329HSEVM User's Guide.
