6 / 8 page Dual Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver A3966 6 Allegro MicroSystems, LLC 115 Northeast Cutoff Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 U.S.A. 1.508.853.5000; www.allegromicro.com Internal PWM Current Control. The A3966 dual full- bridges are designed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor. Load current can be controlled in each motor winding by an internal fixed-frequency PWM control cir- cuit. The current-control circuitry works as follows: when the outputs of the full-bridge are turned on, current increas- es in the motor winding. The load current is sensed by the current-control comparator via an external sense resistor (RS). Load current continues to increase until it reaches the predetermined value, set by the selection of external current-sensing resistors and reference input voltage (VREF) according to the equation: ITRIP = IOUT + ISO = VREF/(4 RS) where ISO is the sense-current error (typically 18 mA) due to the base-drive current of the sink driver transistor. At the trip point, the comparator resets the source-en- able latch, turning off the source driver of that full-bridge. The source turn-off of one full-bridge is independent of the other full-bridge. Load inductance causes the current to recirculate through the sink driver and ground-clamp diode. The current decreases until the internal clock oscillator sets the source-enable latches of both Full-bridges, turning on the source drivers of both bridges. Load current increases again, and the cycle is repeated. The frequency of the internal clock oscillator is set by the external timing components RTCT. The frequency can be approximately calculated as: fosc = 1/(RT CT + tblank) where tblank is defined below. The range of recommended values for RT and CT are 20 to 100 k and 470 to 1000 pF respectively. Nominal values of 56 k and 680 pF result in a clock frequency of 25 kHz. Current-Sense Comparator Blanking. When the source driver is turned on, a current spike occurs due to the reverse-recovery currents of the clamp diodes and switch- ing transients related to distributed capacitance in the load. To prevent this current spike from erroneously resetting the source enable latch, the current-control comparator output is blanked for a short period of time when the source driver is turned on. The blanking time is set by the timing compo- nent CT according to the equation: tblank = 1900 CT (μs). A nominal CT value of 680 pF will give a blanking time of 1.3 μs. The current-control comparator is also blanked when the Full-bridge outputs are switched by the PHASE or ENABLE inputs. This internally generated blank time is approximately 1 μs.
