DESCRIPTION
The IC is designed to control the speed of DC-motors. In order
to determine the motor speed the commutation-related ripple
of the motor current is evaluated and converted to a
5
V digital
signal for the μC. The filtered motor current is also buffered and
provided to the μC’s ADC. Many types of motors can be adapted
with appropriate filter design.
The nominal motor voltage, provided by the μC is converted into a
20
kHz PWM signal used to drive the power MOS half bridge. Duty
cycle of
100
% is possible due to an implemented charge pump.
The CRASH signal immediately stops the motor in case of an error.
An over-temperature driver shut down is provided with appropri-
ate TEMPFET transistors. With an integrated power supply and
watch dog, an emergency function with maximum motor drive
can be realized in case the μC fails.
