Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Haptic 3 Click is based on the DA7282, a haptic driver capable of driving both LRA and ERM actuators from Dialog Semiconductor. The power-optimized architecture and advanced closed-loop digital algorithms achieve a high-fidelity haptic drive. The DA7282 features frequency control within an onboard Waveform Memory and three distinct general-purpose inputs for triggering up to six specific sequences, which helps with emulating button pressing in many applications. The device controls drive levels based on the sequence selected by the I2C interface across the load and senses the movement of the actuator. The driven waveform is generated by a current-regulated loop using a high-frequency PWM modulation. The differential output drive features a switching regulator architecture with an H-bridge differential drive across the load at 187.5kHz. The DA7282 can also perform close-loop actuator monitoring while driving to enable calibration-free playback, frequency tracking

(LRA only), Active Acceleration, Rapid Stop, and actuator diagnostics. Resonant frequency tracking can be enabled while driving an LRA to track the mechanical resonance of the actuator through closed-loop control or can be disabled to operate DA7282 in open-loop wideband frequency operation while driving LRAs with a broader bandwidth frequency response. Also, Active Acceleration and Rapid Stop features enable automated driving of both ERM and LRA loads (when frequency tracking is enabled), which reduces the time to reach the target acceleration level and the time for the actuator to come to a complete stop. Although it can use both mikroBUS™ power rails for regular power supply, its digital part requires a voltage level of 1.8V to work correctly. Therefore, a small regulating LDO, the BH18PB1WHFV, provides a 1.8V out of 5V and 3.3V mikroBUS™ power rails alongside Enable feature through the EN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, offering a switch operation to turn ON/OFF

power delivery to the connected load. Haptic 3 Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz. Since the sensor for communication requires a logic level of 1.8V, this Click board™ also features the PCA9306 voltage-level translator. The I2C interface bus lines are routed to the voltage-level translators allowing this Click board™ to work with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs properly. Also, it uses an interrupt pin, routed to the IRQ pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, when a different fault condition occurs to alert the MCU. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Features overview

Development board

Flip&Click PIC32MZ is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller, the PIC32MZ2048EFH100 from Microchip, four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, two USB connectors, LED indicators, buttons, debugger/programmer connectors, and two headers compatible with Arduino-UNO pinout. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology,

it allows you to build gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition, there is the possibility of choosing the Flip&Click PIC32MZ programming method, using the chipKIT bootloader (Arduino-style development environment) or our USB HID bootloader using mikroC, mikroBasic, and mikroPascal for PIC32. This kit includes a clean and regulated power supply block through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. All communication

methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, user-configurable buttons, and LED indicators. Flip&Click PIC32MZ development kit allows you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Accessories

Vibration ERM Motor 9K RPM 3V (VC1026B002F - old MPN C1026B002F) represents a compact-size Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) motor designed by Vybronics. This type of motor contains a small eccentric weight on its rotor, so while rotating, it also produces a vibration effect often used for haptic feedback on many small handheld devices. Due to its circular shape with a diameter of 10mm, the VC1026B002F is often referred to as a coin motor. The main characteristics of this vibration motor are its supply voltage, in this case, 3VDC, maximum rated current of 85mA, and the rated speed of 9000RPM, which produces the highest G force/vibration energy of 0.80GRMS. It can also be used with self-adhesive tape to mount it on your PCB or the inner wall of your product's housing.
