3 / 5 page APPLICATION NOTES IN AL,BL,CL - Are the lowside logic level digital inputs. These three inputs control the three lowside bridge transistors. If the highside inputs are low, then the lowside inputs will control both the lowside and the highside of the bridge, with deadtime set by the SWR resistor. EN will override these inputs, forcing all outputs low. These inputs can be driven by logic up to 15V (less than VBIAS). An internal pullup to VBIAS will hold each input high if the pins are not driven. MSK 4401 PIN DESCRIPTIONS AH,BH,CH - Are the highside logic level digital inputs. These three inputs control the three highside bridge transistors. Un- less the deadtime is disabled by connecting SWR to ground, the lowside input of each phase will override the corresponding highside input. If SWR is the lowside input of each phase will override the corresponding highside input. In this condition, tied to ground, deadtime is disabled and the outputs follow the inputs. In this condition, shoot-through must be avoided exter- nally. EN will override all inputs, forcing outputs low. VBIAS - Is the positive supply for the gate drive. This pin should be decoupled to ground with at least a 22µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. GROUND - Is the return for the VBIAS supply. This pin should be connected to the return of the lowside MOSFETs or the bot- tom of the sense resistor at the bottom of the bridge. The gate drive current must return through this pin, so trace lengths should be kept to a minimum. All grounds should be returned to the bottom of the bridge or sense resistor in a star fashion. This will eliminate ground loops. SWR - Is the pin for controlling the deadtime between the top and bottom transistors of the bridge. By connecting a pullup resistor between this pin and VBIAS, various deadtimes can be obtained. There is and internal 100K Ω pullup resistor connected internally. By adding additional resistors in externally, reduced deadtimes can be achieved. By connecting this pin directly to ground, all deadtime is eliminated. However, care must be taken to assure that deadtime is being generated by the logic circuitry driving the inputs. Shoot-through can occur (both the top and bottom transistors on at the same time for a given phase, caus- ing a short on the V+ supply to ground) destroying the bridge. V+ - Is the power connection for the top of the output bridge. These pins must be bypassed by a capacitor to ground of a least 10µF per amp preferrably 100µF per amp of output current minimum, high quality high frequency bypass capacitance to help suppress switching noise. Connect both pins for proper current sharing. A Ø, BØ, CØ - Are the output pins for the three phases of power bridge. Connect both pins for proper current sharing. The size and placement of the capacitors for the main voltage bus for the motor will have an effect on the noise filtered through- out the rest of the system. Series RLC tuned circuit is being created by the inductance of the wire (about 30nH per inch), the filter capacitance, and all of the resistances (wire resistance and the capacitor ESR) of the overall power circuit. Voltage spikes from the back EMF if the motor ride on top of the bus voltage. All of this must be taken into account when laying out the system. A first capacitor of high quality and low ESR should be placed as close to the hybrid circuit as possible. Along with that, a capacitor of 5x to 10x the first value should be added (and that second capacitor should have some ESR) and/or a resistor should be added to help with the damping of the volt- age spikes. Be careful of the ripple current in all the capacitors. Excessive ripple current, beyond what the capacitor is rated for, will destroy the capacitor. BUS VOLTAGE FILTER CAPACITORS It is recommended that at least 22µF of capacitance for by- passing the VBIAS voltage that supplies the drive circuitry for the MSK 4401, along with 0.1µF for helping the high frequency current pulses needed by the gate driver. If an extremely long risetime is exhibited by the turn on of the FETs, the extra high frequency capacitance will help. BIAS SUPPLY BYPASS CAPACITORS Good high frequency PC layout techniques are a must. Traces wide enough for the current delivered, and placement of the big capacitors close to the MSK 4401 are very important. The path for the RSENSE connection through any sense resistor back to the GND pins must be as short as possible. This path is the gate drive current path for all the FETs on the lower half of each phase. A short, low inductance path will aid in the switch- ing time of those FETs. GENERAL LAYOUT When starting up the circuit utilizing the MSK 4401 for the first time, it is very important to keep certain things in mind. Be- cause of the small size of the bridge, there is no internal short circuit protection and a short circuit will destroy the bridge. Any required short circuit protection must be built outside the bridge. Current and voltage limit the power supply feeding the V+ pins to the bridge, and monitor the current for any signs of short circuiting, or shoot-through currents. If there are large current spikes at the beginning of each switching cycle, there may be shoot through. Try raising the resistor value of the SWR. This will lengthen the deadtime and stop shoot-through. LOW POWER STARTUP Rev. E 11/04 3 EN - Is the enabling input for the bridge. This digital input, when pulled low, will enable the bridge, following the inputs from AL, BL, CL and AH, BH, CH inputs. When pulled high, it will override all other inputs and disable the bridge. It is inter- nally pulled high to VBIAS, and can be driven by logic levels up to VBIAS. RSENSE - Are the connections to the bottom of the bridge. All power flowing through the bridge will flow through this point, and can be sensed by connecting a sense resistor from here to ground. The sense resistor will develop a voltage proportional to the current flowing. Size the value and power rating of the sense resistor according to the voltage necessary. 3 volts is the maximum voltage between this point and ground, or damage to the hybrid will result. Connect both pins for proper current shar- ing. |
