L6234 THREE PHASE MOTOR DRIVER
by Domenico Arrigo
INTRODUCTION
The L6234 is a DMOSs triple half-bridge driver with input supply voltage up 52V and output current of
5A. It can be used in a very wide range of applications.
It has been realized in Multipower BCD60II technology which allows the combination of isolated DMOS
transistors with CMOS and Bipolar circuits on the same chip. It is available in Power DIP 20 (16+2+2)
and in Power SO 20 packages.
All the inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible and each half bridge can be driven by its own dedicated input
and enable.
The DMOS structure has an intrinsic free wheeling body diode so the use of external diodes, which are
necessary in the bipolar configuration, can be avoided. The DMOS structure allows a very low quiescent
current of 6.5 mA typ. at Vs=42V , irrespective of the load.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The device is composed of three channels. Each channel is composed of a half bridge with two power
DMOS switches ( typ. Rdson of 300mW @ 25°C) and intrinsic free wheeling diodes. Each channel includes two TTL/CMOS and uP compatible comparators, and a logic block to interface the inputs with the
drivers. The device includes an internal bandgap reference of 1.22V, a 10V voltage reference to supply
the internal circuitry of the device, a central charge pump to drive the upper DMOS switch, thermal shutdown protection and an internal hysteretic function which turns off the device when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 160 °C. Hysteresys is about 20 °C.

tion the drain-source voltage of T1 and T4 is VS + VF + Vsense .
-VSENSE
Dinamically VF can be same Volts depending on the current
Rsense
slope, dI/dt, and also Vsense, depending on the parasitic inD98IN938A
ductance and current slope can be some Volts. So the drainsource voltage of T1 and T4 DMOS switches can reach more
than 10V over the VS voltage. The input capacitors C1 and C2 are chosen in order to reduce overvoltage
due to current decay and to parasitic inductance. For this reason C2 has to be placed as closed as possible to VS and GND pins.
The device can sustain a 4A DC input current for each of the two Vs pins, in accordance with the
power dissipation.

1.2MHz (see fig 4). When the oscillator output is at ground , C3 is charged by Vs through D1. When it
rises to 10V, D1 is reverse biased and the charge flows from C3 to C4 through D2, so the Vboot pin after a few cycles reaches the maximum voltage of Vs + 10V - VD1- VD2.

This is the input bootstrap pin which gives the overvoltage necessary to drive all the upper DMOS of the

IN1, IN2, IN3 (INPUTS).
These pins are TTL/CMOS and µP compatible. They allow switching on the upper DMOS ( INPUT at
high logic level) or the lower Dmos (INPUT at low logic level) in each half bridge (see Fig. 6).

AN1088 APPLICATION NOTE
Cross conduction protection (see Fig. 7) avoids simultaneously turning on both the upper and lower
DMOS of each half bridge. There is a fixed delay time of 300ns between the turn on and the turn off of
the two DMOS switches in each half bridge. The switching operating frequency is up 50kHz. High commutation frequency permits the reduction of ripple of the output current but increases the device’s power
dissipation, however low commutation frequency causes high ripple of the output current. The switching
frequency should be higher than 16kHz to avoid acoustic noises.
The sink current at the INPUTS and ENABLES pins is approximately 30µA if the voltage to these pins is
at least 1V less than the Vref voltage (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). To avoid overload of the logic INPUTS and
ENABLES , voltage should be applied to Vs prior to the logic signal inputs.
POWER DISSIPATION
An evaluation of the power dissipation of the IC driving a three phase motor in a chopping current control application follows.
With a simplified approach it can be distinguished three periods (see Fig. 8) :
Figure 8.
Rise Time, Tr, period.
This is the rise time period, Tr, in which the current switches from one winding to another. In this
time a DMOS is switched on and the current increases up to the peak value Ipk with the law i(t)
= (Ipk/Tr) t. The energy lost for the rise time in
the period T is :
Tchop
Ipk
Iload
Ival
Tr
Erise = ∫ Rdson ⋅ i2(t)dt = Rdson ⋅ I2pk ⋅
0
Trise
Tload
Tr
3
Fall Time,Tf, period.
When the current switches from one winding to
another, there is a fall time in which the current
that flows in the intrisic diode of the DMOS decreases from Ipk to zero. If VD is the voltage fall
of the diode, the energy lost is :
Tfall
tf
Efall = ∫ VD(t) ⋅ i(t)dt
0
Tload
During this time the current that flows in the winding is limited by the chopping current control. The energy dissipated due to the ON resistance of the DMOS is :
Eload = Rdson ⋅ (Irms)2 ⋅ Tload
In the formula, Irms is the RMS load current, given by :
Irms =
 Ipk − Ival 2

√
(Iload)2 + 

3
√


and Iload is the average load current.
When the switch is ON, the energy dissipated due to the commutation of the chopping current control in
the DMOS can be assumed to be:
tcom
Eon = Vs ⋅ Ival ⋅
2
where tcom is the commutation time of the DMOS switch.
4/14
AN1088 APPLICATION NOTE
When the switch is OFF :
Eoff = Vs ⋅ Ipk ⋅
tcom
2
The energy lost by commutation in a chopping period, given by Eon + Eoff, is :
Ecom = Vs ⋅ Iload ⋅ tcom
The energy lost by commutation during the Tload time is given by :
Ecom = Vs ⋅ Iload ⋅ tcom ⋅ Tload ⋅ fchop
Quiescent Power Dissipation, Pq.
The power dissipation due to the quiescent current is Pq = Vs ⋅ Iq , in which Iq is the quiescent current
at the chopping frequency, fchop = 1/Tchop.
Total Power Dissipation.
Let’s evaluate the power dissipation of the device driving a three phase brushless motor in chopping current control. In the driving sequence only one upper DMOS and a lower one are on at the same time
(see fig. 9 and 10). The total power dissipation is given by :
Ptot =
2 ⋅ (Erise + Efall + Eload + Ecom)
+ Pq
T
Figure 11 shows the total power dissipation, Pd, of the L6234 driving a three phase brushless motor in
input chopping current control at different chopping frequency.

nal that achieves the chopping current control. The
ILOAD [A]
PWM signal is used for chopping the INPUT pattern. During the toff in chopping current control, the
current flows in the low side loop ( see fig. 9 ) and does not flow through the sensing resistor.
The tOFF value can be set by the R9 and C11 to values shown in the table 1.
A suitable value of toff for the majority of applications is 30µs. The larger the tOFF, the higher is the current ripple. If the tOFF is too large the ripple current becomes excessive . On the other hand if the tOFF is
too small the winding current cannot decrease under the threshold and current regulation is not guaranteed.

Torque & Speed Closed Loop Control.
The motor’s rotational speed is determined by the frequency of the Hall effect signals. The speed control
loop has been achieved by comparing this frequency with a frequency of a reference oscillator (see fig.
14) that corresponds to a desired speed limit.

When the hall effect signal frequency is lower than the reference
frequency, the control voltage is
maintained to a value that sets the
motor current limit and therefore the
torque control limit. The peak current limit is given by Ipeak = Vcontrol/Rsense.
When the frequency from the Hall
Effect sensors exceeds the reference frequency and an error signal
is generated by the PLL (see Fig.
14). An LM358 comparator, a loop
amplifier and an auxiliary OP-AMP
ensure the right gain and filtering to
guarantee the stability (see fig.16).
The error signal causes Vcontrol
decrease to a value that sets the
PWM chopping current control in order to reduce the torque and set
the desired speed. The motor
speed is regulated to within ± 0.02
% of the desired speed.

Control Logic Circuit.
The logic sequence to the motor is
generated by a GAL16V8, which
decodes the Hall Effect signals and
generates the INPUT and ENABLE
pattern shown in Fig. 18.
The brake function is obtained by
setting the input pattern to logic low
and thus turning on the lower
DMOS switches of the enabled halfbridges.
The PWM signal is used for chopping the INPUT pattern.
The control logic circuit decodes
Hall effect sensors having different
phasing.
With the DIR jumper opened the
application achieves forward rotation for motors having 60° and 120°
Hall Effect sensor electrical phasing
and the reverse rotation for motors
having 300° and 240° Hall Effect
sensor phasing.
Connecting the DIR jumper to
ground sets the reverse rotation for
motors having 60° and 120° Hall
sensors phasing and the forward
rotation for motors having 300° and
240° Hall sensor phasing.
The SW2 switch performs the startstop function.

Layout Considerations.
Special attention must be taken to avoid overvoltages at Vs and additional negative voltages to the
SENSE pins and noise due to distributed inductance. Thus the input capacitor must be connected close
to the Vs pins with symmetrical paths. The paths between the SENSE pins and the input capacitor
ground have to be minimized and symmetrical . The sensing resistors must be non-inductive. The device GND has to be connected with a separate path to the input capacitor ground.

APPLICATION IDEAS.
The L6234 can be used in many different applications. Typical examples are a half bridge driver using
one channel and a full bridge driver using two channels. In addition, the bridges can be paralleled to reduce the RDSon and the device dissipation.
The paralleled configuration can also be used to increase output current capability. Channel 1 can be
paralleled with Channel 3 or Channel 2 can be paralleled with Channel 3. Channel 1 should not be paralleled with Channel 2 because the sources of their low side DMOSs are connected to the same SENSE1
pin .
Application ideas for the L6234 follow.

SPEED LOOP
A low cost solution to obtain a complete three phase brushless motor control application with speed and
torque closed control loop is shown in Fig. 23. This simple low cost solution is useful when high dynamic
performances and accuracy of the speed loop are not required.
The current regulation limit, which determines the torque , is given by Vcontrol/Rsense. The constant
toff of the PWM is fixed by Rx2 and Cx2.
The speed loop is realised using a Hall effect signal, whose frequency is proportional to the motor
speed. At each positive transition of the Hall effect sensors the monostable maintains the pulse for a
constant time , Ton, with a fixed amplitude, V5. The average value of this signal is proportional to the frequency of the Hall effect signal and the motor speed . An OP-AMP configured as an integrator , filters
this signal and compares it with a reference voltage, Vref, which sets the speed . The generated error
signal is the control voltage, Vcontrol, of the currrent loop. Therefore the current loop modifies the produced torque in order to regulate the speed at the desired value.
The values of Cf and R2 should be chosen to obtain a nearly ripple free op-amp output, even at low motor speed. This constrain limits the system bandwidth and so limits the response time of the loop.
The regulated speed, for a rotor with n pairs of permanent magnetic poles , is given by :

in which Kt, expressed in [Nm/A] , is the Motor Torque constant and B, expressed in [Nms], is the Total
Viscous Friction.
In most cases 1/KG can be neglected.

AN1088 APPLICATION NOTE
The Ton values, given by KCx1Rx1, must be less than the period of the Hall effect electrical signal at
the desired motor speed , so Ton must meet the requirement of 1.1 :
( 1.1 ) Ton <
60
n ⋅ ωm
For the motor and the load used in this application, which have the following parameters :
Jt = 10-4 [Kg ⋅ m2] (Motor plus Load Inertia Moment); Kt = 10-2 [Nm/A] ;
n=4 ;
R1=100k +/- 10% [kΩ]
;
R2=1M ±1[kW]
;
B = 10-5 [Nms]
Cf=220n [F]
A regulated speed of 6000RPM can be obtained with an accuracy of around +/-3%, considering Ton accuracy of +/-1% , the V5 and Vref mismatch of +/-1% .
If the speed is 6000RPM, there are 100 rotor revolution for second, with n=4, the Hall effect frequency
is 400Hz. Therefore Ton has to be lower than 2.5ms (according to equation 1.1).
The phase margin is about 45° and the response time of the speed loop for a speed step variation is
around 200ms .
