POWERSUPPLYMONITOR
This circuit monitors the logic supply (5V) and the
power supply (12V) and activates the power on
reset output (POR) and the VCM PARK circuit.
After both logic and power supply reach their
nominal value a timing capacitor (T_CAP) has to
be charge before the POR output change from
low to high level.

where:
C
is the capacitor value connected at pin
T_CAP
V
is delta voltage that capacitor have to be
charged (2.3V)
I
is the costant current charging the capacitor
(4
μ
A typ.)
At the two input pins, +12 FILTER CAP and + 5
FILTER CAP, can be connected two capacitors
for filtering the noise on the power supply, avoid-
ing in this case undesired commutations of the
POR signal becauseof some fast negativespikes
on theline.
BRAKE AND PARKINGCIRCUITS
The voice coil driver is switched into the parking
condition through the VCM PARK input or when
the POR signal is low. In such condition immedi-
ately the output stage turns on the two lower
DMOS of the power bridge to activate the BRAKE
of the voicecoil motor.
After a delay generated by the capacitor at the
BRAKE DELAY pin, only one of the two lower
DMOS stays on while the opposite half bridge is
tristated.

The parking voltage is then supplied by the
PARKING circuit connected to the output that has
been tristated.
The value of such a voltage is set by connecting
an external resistor between the RPARK pin and
ground.

where:
Vr
is the retract voltagefor parking the heads
Vbandgap
is the internal bandgap reference

Rpark
is value of the resistor connected at
RPARK pin
The parking circuit takes the power supply from
the spindle driver through the VBEMF pin, so that
in case of power fail the retract of the heads is
possible using the rectified BEMF voltage coming
from the spindle motor.
CHARGEPUMP
The charge pump circuit is usedas a means of al-
most doubling the power supply voltage (12V) in
order to drive the upper DMOS of the power
bridge.
The energy stored in the in the capacitor con-
nected at VCP pin is also used to drive the gate
of the externalN-MOSFET.
GATE DRIVER
This circuit provide the voltage driving the gate of
the external isolation N-MOSFET, and it is con-
trolledby thePOR signal.
THERMAL
The thermal protection circuit has two threshold,
the first if the pre shut down alarm that activates
the THERMAL SD signal and the second is the
shut down temperature that tristates the output
stage when the junction temperature increases
over thislevel.
