Oscillator, Reference Voltage / Current Generator
The oscillator is used to control the PWM generator and the charge pump with a frequency of
typical 18 kHz.
The reference current I
ref
of this oscillator is generated by a temperature compensated voltage
regulator which delivers a stable voltage of 1 V at pin
OSC
, the R
OSC
= 100 k
at this pin gen-
erates the reference current. This reference current is used for other functions of this chip too
(see section 3).

5V Regulator (bandgap reference)
The 5V-regulator generates the supply voltage for all internal low voltage blocks and the rough
reference voltage for the 1 V-regulator to generate the reference current I
ref
. This regulated 5 V
supply can also be used externally (e.g. for the temperature sensor at pin
TP
).
This externally usable 5 V will be switched off in the sleep mode.

Failures Detection, Failure Handling Procedures
Three different kinds of failure detections and protections are implemented:
1. Failure detection of the load circuit (DC motor and power FET)
1.1 Over current detection and protection
1.2 No load detection of the motor and protection
1.3 Open wire detection (motor or power switch)
1.4 Short circuit of the power switch detection
1.5 Blocked motor detection and protection
1.6 Short-circuited motor segments detection and protection
1.7 Protection of the power FET and the ASIC, if the motor works in generator mode
2. Failure detection of the supply voltage Vbat (Over- / Under Voltage)
3. Over Temperature detection and protection in two modes
