The DRV10983 utilizes a proprietary, 180-degree sinusoidal control algorithm that is significantly quieter than competing 120 or 150-degree trapezoidal algorithms. At start up, the initial applied current is precisely controlled ensuring a “soft start” eliminating common start up noise associated with traditional solutions. Finally, during current ramps, when the motor is accelerating, the control current maintains its sinusoidal form, minimizing torque ripple and audible noise.
