Description
The VNH5180A-E is a full bridge motor driver intended for a wide range of automotive applications. The device incorporates a dual monolithic high-side driver and two low-side switches. Both switches are designed using STMicroelectronics’ well known and proven

Table 1. Device summary

Package
PowerSSO-36 TP
proprietary VIPower to efficiently integrate on the same die a true Power MOSFET with an intelligent signal/protection circuitry. The three dies are assembled in PowerSSO-36 TP package on electrically isolated leadframes. This package, specifically designed for the harsh automotive environment offers improved thermal performance thanks to exposed die pads. Moreover, its fully symmetrical mechanical design allows superior manufacturability at board level. The input signals IN interface to the microcontroller to select the motor direction and the brake condition. The DIAG or DIAG
/ENB, when connected to an external
B
pull-up resistor, enables one leg of the bridge. Each DIAG
/ENA provides a feedback digital
A
diagnostic signal as well. The normal operating condition is explained in the truth table. The CS pin allows to monitor the motor current by delivering a current proportional to its value when CS_DIS pin is driven low or left open. When CS_DIS is driven high, CS pin is in high impedance condition. The PWM, up to 20 KHz, allows to control the speed of the motor in all possible conditions. In all cases, a low level state on the PWM pin turns off both the LS switches.

VNH5180A-E Application information

3 Application information

In normal operating conditions the DIAGX/ENX pin is considered as an input pin by the device. This pin must be externally pulled high.
PWM pin usage: In all cases, a “0” on the PWM pin turns off both LS When PWM rises back to “1”, LS
or LSB turn on again depending on the input pin state.

Note: The value of the blocking capacitor (C) depends on the application conditions and defines
voltage and current ripple on supply line at PWM operation. Stored energy of the motor inductance may fly back into the blocking capacitor, if the bridge driver goes into 3-state. This causes a hazardous overvoltage if the capacitor is not big enough. As basic orientation, 500 µF per 10 A load current is recommended.
In case of a fault condition the DIAGX/ENX pin is considered as an output pin by the device.
The fault conditions are:
Overtemperature on one or both high-sides
Short to battery condition on the output (overcurrent detection on the low-side
Power MOSFE T)
Possible origins of fault conditions may be:
OUT
is shorted to ground overtemperature detection on high-side A
A
OUT
is shorted to VCC low-side Power MOSFET overcurrent detection
A
When a fault condition is detected, the user can identify which power element is in fault by monitoring the IN
, INB, DIAGA/ENA and DIAGB/ENB pins.
A
Doc ID 17074 Rev 5 19/31
Application information VNH5180A-E
In any case, when a fault is detected, the faulty leg of the bridge is latched off. To turn on the respective output (OUT
) again, the input signal must rise from low to high level.
X

Figure 12. Behavior in fault condition (how a fault can be cleared)

Note: In case of the fault condition is not removed, the procedure for unlatching and sending the
device in Stby mode is:
- Clear the fault in the device (toggle: IN
- Pull low all inputs, PWM and Diag/EN pins within t
if ENA= 0 or INB if ENB=0)
A
.
DEL
If the Diag/En pins are already low, PWM = 0, the fault can be cleared simply toggling the input. The device enters in stby mode as soon as the fault is cleared.

3.1 Reverse battery protection

Three possible solutions can be considered:
A Schottky diode D connected to V
An N-channel MOSFET connected to the GND pin (see
application circuit for DC to 20 kHz PWM operation short circuit protection
A P-channel MOSFET connected to the V
The device sustains no more than -15 A in reverse battery conditions because of the two Body diodes of the Power MOSFETs. Additionally, in reverse battery condition the I/Os of VNH5180A-E is pulled down to the V
line (approximately -1.5 V).
