Half Amp Full Bridge Power Driver for
Small 3V, 5V and 12V DC Motors
In the Functional Block Diagram of the HIP4020, the four
switches and a load are arranged in an H-Configuration so
that the drive voltage from terminals OUTA and OUTB can
be cross-switched to change the direction of current flow in
the load. This is commonly known as 4-quadrant load
control. As shown in the Block Diagram, switches Q1 and Q4
are conducting or in an ON state when current flows from
VDD through Q1 to the load, and then through Q4 to terminal
VSSB; where load terminal OUTA is at a positive potential
with respect to OUTB. Switches Q1 and Q4 are operated
synchronously by the control logic. The control logic
switches Q3 and Q2 to an open or OFF state when Q1 and
Q4 are switched ON. To reverse the current flow in the load,
the switch states are reversed where Q1 and Q4 are OFF
while Q2 and Q3 are ON. Consequently, current then flows
from VDD through Q3, through the load, and through Q2 to
terminal VSSA, and load terminal OUTB is then at a positive
potential with respect to OUTA.
Terminals ENA and ENB are ENABLE Inputs for the Logic A
and B Input Controls. The ILF output is an Overcurrent Limit
Fault Flag Output and indicates a fault condition for either
Output A or B or both. The VDD and VSS are the Power
Supply reference terminals for the A and B Control Logic
Inputs and ILF Output. While the VDD positive power supply
terminal is internally connected to each bridge driver, the
VSSA and VSSB Power Supply terminals are separate and
independent from VSS and may be more negative than the
VSS ground reference terminal. The use of level shifters in
the gate drive circuitry to the NMOS (low-side) output stages
allows controlled level shifting of the output drive relative to
ground.

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. VSS is the required common ground reference for the logic input switching. The load currents may be switched positive and negative in reference
to the VSS common ground by using a split supply for VDD (positive) to VSSA and VSSB (negative). For an uneven split in the supply voltage,
the Maximum Negative Output Supply Voltage for VSSA and VSSB is limited by the Maximum VDD to VSSA or VSSB ratings. Since the VDD pins
are internally tied together, the voltage on each VDD pins must be equal and common.
2. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.
3. Refer to the Truth Table and the VEN to VOUT Switching Waveforms. Current, IO refers to IOUTA or IOUTB as the Output Load current. Note that
ENA controls OUTA and ENB controls OUTB. Each Half H-Switch has independent control from the respective A1, A2, ENA or B1, B2, ENB
inputs. Refer to the Terminal Information Table for external pin connections to establish mode control switching. Figure 1 shows a typical
application circuit used to control a DC Motor.

Application
The HIP4020 is designed to detect load current feedback
from sampling resistors of low value in the source
connections of the output drivers to VDD, VSSA and VSSB
(See Figure 1). When the sink or source current at OUTA or
OUTB exceeds the preset OC (Overcurrent) limiting value of
550mA typical, the current is held at the limiting value. If the
OT (Over-Temperature) Shutdown Protection limit is
exceeded, temperature sensing BiMOS circuits limit the
junction temperature to 150°C typical.

The circuit of Figure 1 shows the Full H-Switch in a small motordrive application. The left (A) and right (B) H-Switch’s are
controlled from the A and B inputs via the A and B CONTROL
LOGIC to the MOS output transistors Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. The
circuit is intended to safely start, stop, and control rotational
direction for a motor requiring no more than 0.5A of supply
current. The stop function includes a Dynamic Braking feature.
With the ENABLE Inputs Low, the MOS transistors Q1 and Q3
are OFF; which cuts-off supply current to OUTA and OUTB.
With the BRAKE terminal Low and ENABLE Inputs High, either
Q1 and Q4 or Q3 and Q2 will be driven into conduction by the
FN3976.3
December 20, 2005
HIP4020
DIRECTION Input Control terminal. The MOS output transistor
pair chosen for conduction is determined by the logic level
applied to the DIRECTION control; resulting in either clockwise
(CW) or counter-clockwise (CCW) shaft rotation.
When the BRAKE terminal is switched high (while holding
the ENABLE input high), the gates of both Q2 and Q4 are
driven high. Current flowing through Q2 (from the motor
terminal OUTA) at the moment of Dynamic Braking will
continue to flow through Q2 to the VSSA and VSSB external
connection, and then continue through diode D4 to the motor
terminal OUTB. As such, the resistance of the motor winding
(and the series-connected path) dissipates the kinetic
energy stored in the system. Reversing rotation, current
flowing through Q4 (from the motor terminal OUTB), at the
moment of Dynamic Braking, would continue to flow through
Q4 to the VSSB and VSSA tie, and then continue through
diode D2 to the motor terminal OUTA, to dissipate the stored
kinetic energy as previously described.
Where VDD to VSS are the Power Supply reference
terminals for the Control Logic, the lowest practical supply
voltage for proper logic control should be no less than 2.0V.
The VSSA and VSSB terminals are separate and
independent from VSS and may be more negative than the
VSS ground reference terminal. However, the maximum
supply level from VDD to VSSA or VSSB must not be greater
than the Absolute Maximum Supply Voltage rating.
Terminals A1, B1, A2, B2, ENA and ENB are internally
connected to protection circuits intended to guard the CMOS
gate-oxides against damage due to electrostatic discharge.
(See Figure 3) Inputs ENA, ENB, A1, B1 A2 and B2 have
CD74HCT4000 Logic Interface Protection and Level
Converters for TTL or CMOS Input Logic. These inputs are
designed to typically provide ESD protection up to 2kV.
However, these devices are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. Proper I.C. handling procedures should be
followed.
