3.5 Lead Angle

To achieve the best efficiency, it is often desirable to control the drive state of the motor so that the motor phase current is aligned with the motor BEMF voltage. MCT8316AT provides the option to advance or delay the phase voltage from the commutation point by adjusting lead angle. In BLDC applications, the lead angle should be adjusted to obtain optimal efficiency. This can be accomplished by operating the system at constant speed and load conditions and adjusting lead angle until the minimum current is achieved.
