The output drivers are all low-RDS(on) , N-channel DMOS drivers that feature internal synchronous rectification to reduce power dissipation. The current in the output full bridge is regulated with fixed off-time pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuitry. The IN1 and IN2 inputs allow two-wire control for the bridge. Overcurrent Protection In the A4952, a current monitor will protect the IC from damage due to output shorts. The internal Overcurrent Protection (OCP) has the following features: Protection circuitry includes internal thermal shutdown, and protection against shorted loads, or against output shorts to ground or supply. Undervoltage lockout prevents damage by keeping the outputs off until the driver has enough voltage to operate normally. • Retry Input (RTRY pin). Sets the action taken by the IC to respond to an OCP fault. If the RTRY pin is tied to GND, then the outputs will be turned-on again after a 2-ms timeout, to check if a fault condition remains. If the RTRY pin is left open, then the fault will be latched, and the IC will disable the outputs. The fault latch can only be cleared by coming out of Low Power Standby mode or by cycling the power to VBB. Standby Mode Low Power Standby mode is activated when both input (INx) pins are low for longer than 1 ms. Low Power Standby mode disables most of the internal circuitry, including the charge pump and the regulator. When the A4952/A4953 is coming out of standby mode, the charge pump should be allowed to reach its regulated voltage (a maximum delay of 30 µs) before any PWM commands are issued to the device. Internal PWM Current Control Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink FET outputs are enabled and current flows through the motor winding and the optional external current sense resistor, RS . When the voltage across RS equals the comparator trip value, then the current sense comparator resets the PWM latch. The latch then turns off the sink and source FETs (Mixed Decay mode). VREF The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of RSx and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance function is approximated by the maximum value of current limiting, ITripMAX (A), which is set by: ITripMAX = VREF AV RS where VREF is the input voltage on the VREF pin (V) and RS is the resistance of the sense resistor (Ω) on the LSS terminal. • Fault Output (FLTn pin). If a short is detected, the open drain FLTn output signal goes low. Note: The A4953 overcurrent protection behaves in the same manner but the fault is latched and can only be reset by putting the device into standby mode or by cycling the power to VBB. During OCP events, Absolute Maximum Ratings may be exceeded for a short period of time before the device latches. Shutdown If the die temperature increases to approximately 160°C, the full bridge outputs will be disabled until the internal temperature falls below a hysteresis, TTSDhys , of 20°C. Internal UVLO is present on VBB to prevent the output drivers from turning-on below the UVLO threshold. Braking The braking function is implemented by driving the device in Slow Decay mode, which is done by applying a logic high to both inputs, after a bridge-enable Chop command (see PWM Control Truth Table). Because it is possible to drive current in both directions through the DMOS switches, this configuration effectively shorts-out the motor-generated BEMF, as long as the Chop command is asserted. The maximum current can be approximated by VBEMF / RL . Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum ratings of the device are not exceeded in worse case braking situations: high speed and high-inertia loads.

The A4952/A4953 synchronous rectification feature turns-on the appropriate DMOSFETs during the current decay, and effectively shorts out the body diodes with the low RDS(on) driver. This significantly lowers power dissipation. When a zero current level is detected, synchronous rectification is turned off to prevent reversal of the load current. Mixed Decay Operation The bridges operate in Mixed Decay mode. Referring to the lower panel of the figure below, as the trip point is reached, the device goes into fast decay mode for 50% of the fixed off-time period. After this fast decay portion the device switches to slow decay mode for the remainder of the off-time. During transitions from fast decay to slow decay, the drivers are forced off for the Crossover Delay, tCOD . This feature is added to prevent shootthrough in the bridge. During this “dead time” portion, synchronous rectification is not active, and the device operates in fast decay and slow decay only.

To minimize ground-trace IR drops in sensing the output current level, the current sensing resistor should have an independent ground return to the star ground point. This trace should be as short as possible. For low-value sense resistors, the IR drops in the PCB can be significant, and should be taken into account. thermal pad of the device makes a good location for the star ground point. The exposed pad can be connected to ground for this purpose. When selecting a value for the sense resistor be sure not to exceed the maximum voltage on the LSS pin of ±500 mV at maximum load. During overcurrent events, this rating may be exceeded for short durations. Layout The PCB should have a thick ground plane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the A4952/A4953 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4952/A4953 package is an exposed pad, which provides a path for enhanced thermal dissipation. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to an exposed surface on the PCB in order to achieve optimal thermal conduction. Thermal vias are used to transfer heat to other layers of the PCB. Ground A star ground should be located as close to the A4952/ A4953 as possible. The copper ground plane directly under the exposed The load supply pin, VBB, should be decoupled with an electrolytic capacitor (typically 100 μF) in parallel with a lower valued ceramic capacitor placed as close as practicable to the device.
