Question

PWM Generator configuration in ST motor control workbench


Most of the default settings on the ST workbench for the Charge Boot Capacitor Time are 10ms. However, with the B-G431B-ESC1 Discovery kit with STM32G431CB MCU, calculations show that the charging time for a 1-microfarad capacitor should not exceed 10 microseconds. So why is the default setting 10ms?

Hello ​@Nguyen Hoc Vuong,

The charge boot capacitor time is set to 10 ms by default in the Workbench, regardless of the hardware that is used.
It can be reduced to 1 ms.
For more details about the charge boot capacitor feature, see the AN5789 application note.
