Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Vibro Motor 3 Click is based on the G0832022D, a coin-sized linear resonant actuator that generates vibration/haptic feedback in the Z plane, perpendicular to the motor's surface from Jinlong Machinery & Electronics, Inc. The G0832022D draws only 19mA at 0.6V while producing a G force of 0.55 GRMS and makes an excellent choice for applications requiring crisp haptic feedback and low power consumption. For haptic feedback applications, fast rise and fall times are critical for achieving the optimal user experience. Driven by the DRV2605, a flexible Haptic/Vibra driver from Texas Instruments, this Click board™ is designed to provide highly flexible haptic control over a standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum clock frequency of 400kHz. It possesses an enabling function, routed on the CS pin

of the mikroBUS™ socket labeled as the EN, and comes up with an extensive integrated library of over 100 licensed effects that eliminates the need to design haptics waveforms. It also contains a smart-loop architecture, which allows effortless auto resonant drive for LRA motor drive. This feedback provides automatic overdrive and braking, which creates a simplified input waveform paradigm, reliable motor control, and consistent motor performance. The DRV2605 can also operate in the PWM Mode and accept the PWM signal from the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket. In this mode, the DRV2605 device drives the actuator continuously until the user sets the DRV2605 to a Standby Mode or enters another interface mode. In PWM Mode, the vibration strength is controlled by the duty cycle, and

for the LRA motor, the DRV2605 automatically tracks the resonance frequency unless the LRA_OPEN_LOOP bit in register 0x1D is set. If the LRA_OPEN_LOOP bit is set, then the LRA motor is driven according to the frequency of the PWM input signal. More information about the operating modes of the DRV2605 can be found in the attached datasheet. 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. Also, this 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.
