SA5777ADual air-core gauge driver
DESCRIPTION
The SA5777A is a monolithic driver for controlling air-core (or
differential) meters typically used in automotive instrument cluster
applications. The circuit interfaces with a microprocessor through a
serial bus and directly drives the air-core meter. The SA5777A has
10-bit resolution (0.35 degree) and is guaranteed to be monotonic.
Data can be shifted through the part, allowing several SA5777As to
be cascaded with only one chip-select line. On-chip current shut
down logic protects the circuit from external faults.

SA5777ADual air-core gauge driver
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SA5777A dual air-core gauge driver logic Block Diagram shows
the two 10-bit input shift registers and two 9-bit parallel latches, and
two 7+-bit DACs. The MSB is a dummy bit required for compatibility
with the SA5775A. The DACs generate output voltages that are
offset within the supply rails to give the output buffers enough
headroom to operate. With a 14 V supply, the typical output swing is
from 1 V to 11.5 V. The MUX generates the two required quadrants
by switching the 56° data from the DAC to the appropriate output
buffer . The output buffers provide the necessary current to drive the
air-core gauge. The output buffers are always connected to the
coils and can sink and source sufficient current so that inductive
kickback is eliminated during normal operation.
The primary function of the SA5777A IC is to generate the transfer
function that maps an input code into the correct voltages for linearly
controlling the coils of an air-core gauge display (Figure 3). The
SA5777A has been implemented using the tangent drive algorithm.
Therefore, one coil on each meter will be driven with an output
approximating the tangent function, the other coils will be biased at
1/2 V
. The internal DAC is designed to operate over a 7+ bit (56°)
BB
data range. An extended range can be achieved by changing the
relationship between the bias coil and the driver coil. As the current
through the bias coil is reduced, the full scale deflection is
increased. Theoretically, this deflection could approach 180°, but
practical limitations of accuracy, resolution, and torque restrict the
full scale range to approximately 112° (Figure 4). This full scale
range corresponds to a bias coil voltage of 0.5 x V
tangent voltage of 0.744 x V
. The DAC has been tailored to
BB
and a full scale
BB
maintain the meter accuracy at this maximum deflection. The 0.5 x
bias coil voltage is obtained by connecting the bias coils of the
V
BB
two meters in series across V
. This gives bias stability over
BB
temperature. The internal bias generator is used to offset any
inaccuracies due to meter mismatches. This circuit receives
commands via an internal serial data interface port which is SPI
compatible. These parts can be serially cascaded with other
SA5777A ICs and/or SA5775A ICs to interface signals in multi-chip
systems. The SA5777A has a typical resolution of 0.35° over a full
scale deflection of approximately 112° and is guaranteed to be
monotonic. The input data is directly proportional to the displayed
angle in degrees (Figure NO TAG). Input code 0 gives an output
angle of 0°, code 319 (decimal) will generate a full scale output of
112.15 °. Codes higher than decimal 319 will not be loaded into the
DAC latches and will leave the coil output buffers unchanged.
However, codes greater than 319 can be shifted through the
SA5777A intact if other parts are cascaded. The SA5777A is
capable of sourcing and sinking up to 100mA per differential driver
to control either one or two air-core gauge displays directly.
On-chip overcurrent and thermal shut-down logic prevents the chip
from overheating due to high current fault conditions. When a
shut-down condition is detected, the protection circuit disables the
coil output buffers (i.e., C1+, C1–, C2+, C2–, COM). The coil output
buffers remain in this condition until the first falling edge of CS that
occurs after the die temperature has decreased to about 140°C or
the overcurrent condition has been removed. During shut-down, the
digital portion of this IC continues to operate normally.

Coil Output Buffer Control
The coil buffers (C1+, C1–, C2+, C2–, COM) are disabled:
1. With the rising edge of V
2. When OE is taken low or held low. The data registers for the
outputs can still be updated while OE is low. When OE is taken
high, the current output data value is displayed. A falling edge
on CS will be required to activate the outputs if a fault condition
has occurred prior to the OE going high.
3. Due to an overcurrent condition on either of the coil output
buffers. The coil output buffers will be enabled after the next CS
high-to-low transition; assuming OE is high. If the overcurrent
condition has not been removed, the outputs will immediately
return to their disabled condition. The ST pin will indicate status
of the coil outputs.

Application Notes
The air-core gauge is constructed of two coils would on a cavity at
90° to each other. Inside the cavity there is a disk which is
magnetized on its diameter. The currents through the coils generate
a resultant magnetic vector that causes the magnetic disc to move
until the magnetic fields are aligned. If the ratio of the currents in the
two coils follows the tangent function, then the transfer characteristic
relating the input data to output angle is linear.
Maximum current is when output is at zero and full scale degrees,
T
= –40°C, and RL = 180.
