Pinout Description

(See Connection Diagram) Pin 1, BOOTSTRAP 1 Input: Bootstrap capacitor pin for half
H-bridge number 1. The recommended capacitor (10 nF) is connected between pins 1 and 2.
Pin 2, OUTPUT 1: Half H-bridge number 1 output. Pin 3, DIRECTION Input: See Table 1. This input controls
the direction of current flow between OUTPUT 1 and OUT­PUT 2 (pins 2 and 10) and, therefore, the direction of rotation of a motor load.
Pin 4, BRAKE Input: See Table 1. This input is used to brake a motor by effectively shorting its terminals. When braking is desired, this input is taken to a logic high level and it is also necessary to apply logic high to PWM input, pin 5. The drivers that short the motor are determined by the logic level at the DIRECTION input (Pin 3): with Pin 3 logic high, both current sourcing output transistors are ON; with Pin 3 logic low, both current sinking output transistors are ON. All output transis­tors can be turned OFF by applying a logic high to Pin 4 and a logic low to PWM input Pin 5; in this case only a small bias current (approximately −1.5 mA) exists at each output pin.
Pin 5, PWM Input: See Table 1. How this input (and DIREC- TION input, Pin 3) is used is determined by the format of the PWM Signal.
Pin 6, VS Power Supply Pin 7, GROUND Connection: This pin is the ground return,
and is internally connected to the mounting tab. Pin 8, CURRENT SENSE Output: This pin provides the
sourcing current sensing output signal, which is typically 377 μA/A.
Pin 9, THERMAL FLAG Output: This pin provides the ther­mal warning flag output signal. Pin 9 becomes active-low at
145°C (junction temperature). However the chip will not shut
1056809
itself down until 170°C is reached at the junction.
Pin 10, OUTPUT 2: Half H-bridge number 2 output. Pin 11, BOOTSTRAP 2 Input: Bootstrap capacitor pin for
Half H-bridge number 2. The recommended capacitor (10 nF) is connected between pins 10 and 11.

Application Information

TYPES OF PWM SIGNALS

The LMD18200 readily interfaces with different forms of PWM signals. Use of the part with two of the more popular forms of PWM is described in the following paragraphs.
Simple, locked anti-phase PWM consists of a single, vari­able duty-cycle signal in which is encoded both direction and amplitude information (see Figure 2). A 50% duty-cycle PWM signal represents zero drive, since the net value of voltage (integrated over one period) delivered to the load is zero. For the LMD18200, the PWM signal drives the direction input (pin
3) and the PWM input (pin 5) is tied to logic high.

FIGURE 2. Locked Anti-Phase PWM Control

LMD18200

Sign/magnitude PWM consists of separate direction (sign) and amplitude (magnitude) signals (see Figure 3). The (ab­solute) magnitude signal is duty-cycle modulated, and the absence of a pulse signal (a continuous logic low level) rep-

FIGURE 3. Sign/Magnitude PWM Control

resents zero drive. Current delivered to the load is propor­tional to pulse width. For the LMD18200, the DIRECTION input (pin 3) is driven by the sign signal and the PWM input (pin 5) is driven by the magnitude signal.
1056805

SIGNAL TRANSITION REQUIREMENTS

To ensure proper internal logic performance, it is good prac­tice to avoid aligning the falling and rising edges of input signals. A delay of at least 1 µsec should be incorporated be-
tween transitions of the Direction, Brake, and/or PWM input signals. A conservative approach is be sure there is at least 500ns delay between the end of the first transition and the beginning of the second transition. See Figure 4.

FIGURE 4. Transitions in Brake, Direction, or PWM Must Be Separated By At Least 1 µsec

USING THE CURRENT SENSE OUTPUT

The CURRENT SENSE output (pin 8) has a sensitivity of 377 μA per ampere of output current. For optimal accuracy and linearity of this signal, the value of voltage generating resistor between pin 8 and ground should be chosen to limit the max­imum voltage developed at pin 8 to 5V, or less. The maximum voltage compliance is 12V.
It should be noted that the recirculating currents (free wheel­ing currents) are ignored by the current sense circuitry. There­fore, only the currents in the upper sourcing outputs are sensed.

USING THE THERMAL WARNING FLAG

The THERMAL FLAG output (pin 9) is an open collector tran­sistor. This permits a wired OR connection of thermal warning flag outputs from multiple LMD18200's, and allows the user to set the logic high level of the output signal swing to match system requirements. This output typically drives the interrupt input of a system controller. The interrupt service routine would then be designed to take appropriate steps, such as reducing load currents or initiating an orderly system shut­down. The maximum voltage compliance on the flag pin is 12V.

SUPPLY BYPASSING

During switching transitions the levels of fast current changes experienced may cause troublesome voltage transients across system stray inductance.
It is normally necessary to bypass the supply rail with a high quality capacitor(s) connected as close as possible to the VS Power Supply (Pin 6) and GROUND (Pin 7). A 1 μF high- frequency ceramic capacitor is recommended. Care should be taken to limit the transients on the supply pin below the Absolute Maximum Rating of the device. When operating the chip at supply voltages above 40V a voltage suppressor (tran­sorb) such as P6KE62A is recommended from supply to ground. Typically the ceramic capacitor can be eliminated in the presence of the voltage suppressor. Note that when driv-
ing high load currents a greater amount of supply bypass capacitance (in general at least 100 μF per Amp of load cur­rent) is required to absorb the recirculating currents of the inductive loads.

CURRENT LIMITING

Current limiting protection circuitry has been incorporated into the design of the LMD18200. With any power device it is im­portant to consider the effects of the substantial surge cur­rents through the device that may occur as a result of shorted loads. The protection circuitry monitors this increase in cur­rent (the threshold is set to approximately 10 Amps) and shuts off the power device as quickly as possible in the event of an overload condition. In a typical motor driving application the most common overload faults are caused by shorted motor windings and locked rotors. Under these conditions the in­ductance of the motor (as well as any series inductance in the VCC supply line) serves to reduce the magnitude of a current surge to a safe level for the LMD18200. Once the device is shut down, the control circuitry will periodically try to turn the power device back on. This feature allows the immediate re­turn to normal operation in the event that the fault condition has been removed. While the fault remains however, the de­vice will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown. This can create voltage transients on the VCC supply line and therefore proper supply bypassing techniques are required.
The most severe condition for any power device is a direct, hard-wired (“screwdriver”) long term short from an output to ground. This condition can generate a surge of current through the power device on the order of 15 Amps and require the die and package to dissipate up to 500 Watts of power for the short time required for the protection circuitry to shut off the power device. This energy can be destructive, particularly at higher operating voltages (>30V) so some precautions are in order. Proper heat sink design is essential and it is normally necessary to heat sink the VCC supply pin (pin 6) with 1 square inch of copper on the PCB.

INTERNAL CHARGE PUMP AND USE OF BOOTSTRAP CAPACITORS

To turn on the high-side (sourcing) DMOS power devices, the gate of each device must be driven approximately 8V more positive than the supply voltage. To achieve this an internal charge pump is used to provide the gate drive voltage. As shown in Figure 5, an internal capacitor is alternately switched to ground and charged to about 14V, then switched to V sup­ply thereby providing a gate drive voltage greater than V supply. This switching action is controlled by a continuously running internal 300 kHz oscillator. The rise time of this drive voltage is typically 20 μs which is suitable for operating fre­quencies up to 1 kHz.
1056806

INTERNAL PROTECTION DIODES

A major consideration when switching current through induc­tive loads is protection of the switching power devices from the large voltage transients that occur. Each of the four switches in the LMD18200 have a built-in protection diode to clamp transient voltages exceeding the positive supply or ground to a safe diode voltage drop across the switch.
The reverse recovery characteristics of these diodes, once the transient has subsided, is important. These diodes must come out of conduction quickly and the power switches must be able to conduct the additional reverse recovery current of the diodes. The reverse recovery time of the diodes protecting the sourcing power devices is typically only 70 ns with a re­verse recovery current of 1A when tested with a full 6A of forward current through the diode. For the sinking devices the recovery time is typically 100 ns with 4A of reverse current under the same conditions.

Typical Applications

FIXED OFF-TIME CONTROL
This circuit controls the current through the motor by applying an average voltage equal to zero to the motor terminals for a fixed period of time, whenever the current through the motor exceeds the commanded current. This action causes the mo­tor current to vary slightly about an externally controlled av­erage level. The duration of the Off-period is adjusted by the resistor and capacitor combination of the LM555. In this circuit the Sign/Magnitude mode of operation is implemented (see Types of PWM Signals).

FIGURE 5. Internal Charge Pump Circuitry

For higher switching frequencies, the LMD18200 provides for the use of external bootstrap capacitors. The bootstrap prin­ciple is in essence a second charge pump whereby a large value capacitor is used which has enough energy to quickly charge the parasitic gate input capacitance of the power de­vice resulting in much faster rise times. The switching action is accomplished by the power switches themselves Figure
6. External 10 nF capacitors, connected from the outputs to
the bootstrap pins of each high-side switch provide typically less than 100 ns rise times allowing switching frequencies up to 500 kHz.
