Hello everyone,

I'm working on the ST B-G431B-ESC1 board and I don't understand the function of the pin GPIO_BEMF from the Back-EMF detection. This pin is in common with the others motor phase. Can you explain the function of this pin please ?0693W000001rIEpQAM.png

The full schematics is available here : https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/dm00564746-electronic-speed-controller-discovery-kit-for-drones-with-stm32g431cb-stmicroelectronics.pdf

Thank you.

Hi,

the GPIO_BEMF pin is provided to manage the BEMF sampling during the PWM ON state for 6-Step control only. In this case you can pull down the pin in order to have the voltage divider at BEMFx pin.
