Behavioural mixed-signal model0716 coreless (Crazyflie class)coreless_7x16

Coreless motor 7×16 mm + 45 mm propeller

Brushed coreless motor of micro quadcopters with its propeller: the propeller loads the motor with a drag torque and produces thrust, both rising with the square of the speed (about 0.15 N at full speed on a 1S cell). Driven by a low-side MOSFET with a freewheel diode. Values from the Tronsun 0716 data sheet and the Crazyflie 2.0 system identification (Förster, ETH 2015); rotor inertia derived, inductance neglected.

Simulation model

A behavioural model implements the interface of the chip (registers, protocol, timing) at its pins. The pins are connected to the analog circuit like CMOS pins.
