The UDN2917EB motor driver is designed to drive both windings
of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally control two dc motors. Both
bridges are capable of sustaining 45 V and include internal pulse-width modula-
tion (PWM) control of the output current to 1.5 A.
For PWM current control, the maximum output current is determined by the
user’s selection of a reference voltage and sensing resistor. Two logic-level
inputs select output current limits of 0, 33%, 67%, or 100% of the maximum
level. A PHASE input to each bridge determines load current direction. Active-
low ENABLE inputs control the four drivers in each bridge.
The bridges include both ground clamp and flyback diodes for protection
against inductive transients. Internally generated delays prevent cross-over
currents when switching current direction. Special power-up sequencing is not
required. Thermal protection circuitry disables the outputs if the chip tempera-
ture exceeds safe operating limits.
The UDN2917EB is supplied in a 44-lead power PLCC for surface-mount
applications. Its batwing construction provides for maximum package power
dissipation in the smallest possible construction. The UDN2917EB is available
for operation from -40°C to +85°C. To order, change the prefix from 'UDN' to
'UDQ'. This device is also available on special order for operation to +125°C.

DUAL FULL-BRIDGE
PWM MOTOR DRIVER
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PWM CURRENT CONTROL
The UDN2917EB dual bridge is designed
to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper
motor. Output current is sensed and controlled independently in each bridge by an
external sense resistor (R
parator, and monostable multivibrator.
), internal com-
S
PWM OUTPUT CURRENT WAVEFORM

PHASE
When the bridge is turned on, current
increases in the motor winding and it is
sensed by the external sense resistor until the
sense voltage (V
) reaches the level set
SENSE
at the comparator’s input:
I
TRIP
= V
REF

S
The comparator then triggers the monostable which turns off the source driver of
the bridge. The actual load current peak will
be slightly higher than the trip point (especially for low-inductance loads) because of
the internal logic and switching delays. This
delay (td) is typically 2 µs. After turn-off, the
motor current will normally decay, circulating
through the ground clamp diode and sink
transistor. The source driver’s off time (and
therefore the magnitude of the current decrease) is determined by the monostable’s
external RC timing components, where t
=
off
RTCT within the range of 20 kΩ to 100 kΩ and
200 pF to 500 pF.
When the source driver is re-enabled, the
winding current (the sense voltage) is again
allowed to rise to the comparator’s threshold.
This cycle repeats itself, maintaining the
average motor winding current at the desired
level.

Special circuitry has been included to
prevent runaway current control when the
fixed off time (t
) is set too short. This
off
circuitry prevents the source driver from being
re-enabled until the load current has decayed
to below the I
Loads with high distributed capacitances may result in high turn-on
current peaks. This peak (appearing across RS) will attempt to trip the
comparator, resulting in erroneous current control or high-frequency
oscillations. An external RCCC low-pass filter may be needed to delay
the action of the comparator.
LOGIC CONTROL OF OUTPUT CURRENT
Two logic level inputs (I0 and I1) allow digital selection of the motor
winding current at 100%, 67%, 33%, or 0% of the maximum level per
the table. The 0% output current condition turns off all drivers in the
bridge and can be used as an output enable function. These logic level
inputs greatly enhance the implementation of µP-controlled drive
formats.
During half-step operations, the I0 and I1 inputs allow the µP to
control the motor at a constant torque between all positions in an eightstep sequence. This is accomplished by digitally selecting 100% drive
current when only one phase is on and 67% drive current when two
phases are on.
The logic control inputs can also be used to select a reduced
current level (and reduced power dissipation) for ‘hold’ conditions
and/or increased current (and available torque) for start-up conditions.
GENERAL
To avoid excessive voltage spikes on the LOAD SUPPLY pin
(VBB), a large-value capacitor (≥47 µF) should be connected from V
BB
to ground as close as possible to the device. Under no circumstances
should the voltage at LOAD SUPPLY exceed 45 V.
The PHASE input to each bridge determines the direction motor
winding current flows. An internally generated deadtime (approximately 3 µs) prevents crossover currents that can occur when switching the PHASE input.
All four drivers in the bridge output can be turned off (VEN ≥ 2.4 V
or I0 = I1 ≥ 2.4 V), resulting in a fast current decay through the internal
output clamp and flyback diodes. The fast current decay is desirable
in half-step and high-speed applications. All logic inputs float high; the
ENABLE input must be tied low if it is not used.
Varying the reference voltage (V
) provides continuous control
REF
of the peak load current for micro-stepping applications, within the
specified limits for V
REF
.
Thermal protection circuitry turns off all drivers when the junction
temperature reaches +170°C. It is only intended to protect the device
from failures due to excessive junction temperature and should not
imply that output short circuits are permitted. The output drivers are
re-enabled when the junction temperature cools to +145°C.
