4 / 11 page Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver A4973 4 Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Internal PWM Current Control During Forward and Reverse Operation. The A4973 contains a fixed off-time pulse width modulated (PWM) current-control circuit that can be used to limit the load current to a desired value. The peak value of the current limiting (ITRIP) is set by the selection of an external current sensing resistor (RS) and reference input voltage (VREF). The internal circuitry compares the voltage across the external sense resistor to the voltage on the reference input terminal (REF) resulting in a transconductance function approximated by: In forward or reverse mode the current-control circuitry limits the load current as follows: when the load current reaches ITRIP, the comparator resets a latch that turns off the selected source driver or selected sink and source driver pair depending on whether the device is operating in slow or fast current-decay mode, respectively. In slow current-decay mode, the selected source driver is disabled and both sinks are turned on. The load inductance causes the current to recirculate through the sink drivers. In fast current-decay mode, the selected sink and source driver pair are disabled, then the opposite pair is turned on. The load inductance causes the current to flow from ground to the load supply via the motor winding and the opposite pair of transistors (see figure 1). The user selects an external resistor (RT) and capacitor (CT) to determine the time period (tOFF = RT x CT) during which the drivers remain disabled (see RC Fixed Off-Time section, below). At the end of the RC interval, the drivers are enabled allowing the load current to increase again. The PWM cycle repeats, maintaining the peak load current at the desired value (figure 2). Figure 2 Fast and Slow Current-Decay Waveforms Brake Operation. During braking, care should be taken to ensure that the motor’s current does not exceed the ratings of the device. The braking current can be measured by using an oscilloscope with a current probe connected to one of the motor’s leads, or if the back-EMF voltage of the motor is known, approximated by: VBEMF RLOAD IPEAK BRAKE ML ≈ RC Fixed Off-Time. The internal PWM current-control circuitry uses a one shot to control the time the driver(s) remain(s) off. The one-shot time, tOFF (fixed off-time), is determined by the selection of an external resistor (RT) and capacitor (CT) connected in parallel from the RC timing terminal to ground. The fixed off-time, over a range of values of CT = 470 pF to 1500 pF and RT = 12 kΩ to 100 kΩ, is approximated by: tOFF ≈ RT x CT VREF 2 × RS ITRIP ≈ Figure 1 — Load-Current Paths RS VBB Drive Current (Normal) Recirculation (Fast Decay) Recirculation (Slow Decay) ENABLE MODE LOAD CURRENT RC I TRIP Dwg.
