CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
POWER STAGES and CHARGE PUMP
The L6227 integrates two independent Power MOS
Full Bridges. Each Power MOS has an Rdson =
0.73ohm (typical value @ 25°C), with intrinsic fast
freewheeling diode. Cross conduction protection is
achieved using a dead time (td = 1
µ
s typical) between the switch off and swi tch on of two P ower MOS
in one leg of a bridge.
Using N Channel Power MOS for the upper transistors in the bridge requires a gate drive voltage above
the power supply voltage. The Bootstrapped
(VBOOT) supply is obtained through an internal Oscillator and few external components to realize a
charge pump circuit as shown in Figure 3. The oscillator output (VCP) is a square wave at 600kHz (typical) with 10V amplitude. Recommended values/part
numbers for the charge pump circuit are shown in
Table1.

PWM CURRENT CONTROL
The L6227 includes a constant off time PWM current controller for each of the two bridges. The current control
circuit senses the bridge current by sensing the voltage drop across an external sense resistor connected between the source of the two lower power MOS transistors and ground, as shown in Figure 7. As the current in
the load builds up the voltag e across the sens e r esistor incr eases proportionally . W hen the vo ltage drop ac ross
the sense resistor becomes greater than the voltage at the reference input (VREF
parator triggers the monostable switching the low-side MOS off. The low-side MOS remain off for the time set
by the monostable and the motor current recirculates in the upper path. When the monostable times out the
bridge will again turn on. Since the internal dead time, used to prevent cross conduction in the bridge, delays
the turn on of the power MOS, the effective off time is the sum of the monostable time plus the dead time.

SLOW DECAY MODE
Figure 11 shows the operation of the bridge i n the Slow Decay mode. At the start of the off ti me, the lower power
MOS is switched off and the current recirculates around the upper half of the bridge. Since the voltage across
the coil is low, the current decays slowly. After the dead time the upper power MOS is operated in the synchronous rectification mode. When the monostable times out, the lower power MOS is turned on again after some
delay set by the dead time to prevent cross conduction.
The L6227 integrates an Overcurrent Detection Circuit (OCD). This circuit provides protection against a short
circuit to ground or between two phases of the bridge. With this internal over c urrent detection, the external cur rent sense resistor normally used and its associated power dissipation are eliminated. Figure 12 shows a simplified schematic of the overcurrent detection circuit.
To implement the over current detection, a sensing element that deli ver s a small but precise fraction of the output current is implemented with each high side power MOS. Since this current is a small fraction of the output
current there is very little additional power dissipation. This current is compared with an internal reference current I
OCD comparator signals a fault condi tion. When a fault condition is detec ted, the EN pin is pulled belo w the turn
off threshold (1.3V typical) by an internal open drain MOS with a pull down capability of 4mA. By using an external R-C on the EN pin, the off time before recovering normal operation can be easily programmed by means
of the accurate thresholds of the logic inputs.

THERMAL PROTECTION
In addition to the Ovecurrent Protection, the L6227 integrates a Thermal Protection for preventing the device
destruction in case of junction over temperature. It works sensing the die temperature by means of a sensible
element integrated in the die. The device switch-off when the junction temperature reaches 165°C (typ. value)
with 15°C hysteresis (typ. value).

A typical application using L6227 is shown in Fig. 16. Typical component values for the application are shown

OUTPUT CURRENT CAPABILITY AND IC POWER DISSIPATION
In Fig. 17 and Fig. 18 are show n the approxi mate relation between the output current and the IC power dis sipation using PWM current control driving two loads, for two different driving types:
– One Full Bridge ON at a time (Fig.17) in which only one load at a time is energized.
– Two Full Bridges ON at the same time (Fig.18) in which two loads at the same time are energized.
For a given output current and driving type the power dissipated by the IC can be easily evaluated, in order to
establish which package should be used and how large must be the on-board copper dissipating area to guarantee a safe operating junction temperature (125°C maximum).

THERMAL MANAGEMENT
In most applic ations the power dissipat i on in the IC is the main factor that set s the maximum current that can be delivered by the device in a safe operating condition. Therefore, it has to be taken into account very carefully. Besides
the availab le space on the PCB, the righ t package should be c hosen considering t he power dissipati on. Heat sinking
can be achieved using copper on the PCB with proper area and thickness. Figures 20, 21 and 22 show the Junctionto-Ambient Ther m al Resis tance values for the PowerS O36, Power D IP24 and SO24 packages.
For instance, using a PowerSO package with copper slug soldered on a 1.5 mm copper thickness FR4 board
with 6cm
2
dissipating footprint (cop per thicknes s of 35µm), the R
is about 35°C/W. Fig. 19 shows mount-
th j-amb
ing methods for this package. Using a multi- layer board wi th vias to a ground plane, thermal impeda nce can be
reduced down to 15°C/W.
