Electronic water pumps are an important part of the on-board thermal management system and are used to dissipate heat in the automotive water cooling system. At present, the water pump solution on the market is dominated by BLDC brushless motor, and silky adjustment, precise control and high cost performance have become the focus of customers' attention.

                                           

In response to the above market demands, Jinxin Electronics launched a power 40-200W/12V electronic water pump, which uses PWM/LIN communication for speed regulation and fault feedback. Using a single-resistor sine wave scheme, the circuit is simple, and it has the advantages of stable control and low cost. Jinxin Electronics can provide cost-effective electronic water pump control board solutions based on the company's ADM16F03A2 DSP as the main control chip.

ADM16F03A2 minimum system is shown in the figure below, including JTAG interface, serial port, SPI, PWM module, ADC module, etc.

           

The op amp OP1 that comes with the system can be configured as a differential mode for bus current sampling through the peripheral resistor, and the output result of the op amp OP1OUT can be connected to COMP0 for hardware overcurrent protection, and different comparison levels can be set inside COMP0, and once the threshold is triggered, the PWM signal can be directly blocked.

           

When an offline programming program is required, the pad is tested with 5V, TX, RX, IOPE4, and GND signals, and fast offline programming can be achieved with the help of the offline programming tool of the core.
