This application note details a controller for a 200 W, 24 V Brushless DC (BLDC) motor intended for use in electric bicycles. The design incorporates Zilog's Z8 Encore! MC Z8FMC16100 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) and associated circuitry to facilitate motor control, regenerative braking, and fault protection. The protection logic includes safeguards against over-voltage, over-current, and thermal conditions. The Z8FMC16100 Series Flash MCU is equipped with a versatile Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) module featuring three complementary pairs or six independent PWM outputs, which support dead-band operation and include a fault protection trip input. These capabilities enable multiphase control for various motor applications. The MCU also includes up to eight single-ended channels for 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), along with a Sample and Hold circuit. It is equipped with an Operational Amplifier for current sampling and a Comparator for over-current limiting or shutdown. A high-speed ADC facilitates voltage, current, and back-EMF sensing, while dual-edge interrupts and a 16-bit Timer provide an interface for Hall-effect sensors.

The described controller system is designed to efficiently manage the operation of a 200 W, 24 V Brushless DC motor, which is commonly used in electric bike applications. The Z8FMC16100 MCU serves as the central processing unit, executing control algorithms that optimize motor performance while ensuring safe operation.

The PWM module within the MCU is critical for controlling the motor's speed and torque. By generating precise PWM signals, the system can adjust the voltage and current supplied to the motor, allowing for smooth acceleration and deceleration. The inclusion of dead-band operation prevents simultaneous conduction of complementary outputs, reducing the risk of shoot-through conditions that could damage the motor driver circuitry.

For safety and reliability, the controller incorporates robust fault protection mechanisms. The over-voltage and over-current protection features monitor the electrical parameters in real-time, triggering protective actions if thresholds are exceeded. Thermal protection further enhances system safety by preventing overheating, which could lead to component failure.

The analog-to-digital conversion capabilities of the MCU enable continuous monitoring of critical parameters such as voltage, current, and back-EMF. This data is essential for implementing regenerative braking, where kinetic energy is converted back into electrical energy during deceleration, improving overall system efficiency.

Additionally, the presence of dual-edge interrupts allows for responsive handling of events, such as changes in motor load or sensor inputs. The 16-bit Timer facilitates accurate timing operations, essential for synchronizing the Hall-effect sensor signals, which provide feedback on the rotor position for precise commutation control.

Overall, this controller design combines advanced microcontroller features with essential safety and performance capabilities, making it well-suited for electric bike applications that require efficient and reliable motor control.This application note describes a controller for a 200 W, 24 V Brushless DC (BLDC) motor used to power an electric bike.
