Brushless DC motor drive circuit
TDF5140A
Because of high inductive loading the output stages
contain flyback diodes. The output stages are also
protected by a current limiting circuit and by thermal
protection of the six output transistors.
Introduction (see Fig.5)
Full-wave driving of a three phase motor requires three
push-pull output stages. In each of the six possible states
two outputs are active, one sourcing (H) and one sinking
(L). The third output presents a high impedance (Z) to the
motor which enables measurement of the motor
back-EMF in the corresponding motor coil by the EMF
comparator at each output. The commutation logic is
responsible for control of the output transistors and
selection of the correct EMF comparator. In Table 1 the
sequence of the six possible states of the outputs has
been depicted.
The detected zero-crossings are used to provide speed
information. The information has been made available on
the PG/FG output pin. This is an open collector output and
provides an output signal with a frequency that is half the
commutation frequency. A VCR scanner also requires a
PG phase sensor. This circuit has an interface for a simple
pick-up coil. A multiplexer circuit is also provided to
combine the FG and PG signals in time.
The system will only function when the EMF voltage from
the motor is present. Therefore, a start oscillator is
provided that will generate commutation pulses when no
zero-crossings in the motor voltage are available.

A timing function is incorporated into the device for internal
timing and for timing of the reverse rotation detection.
The TDF5140A also contains an uncommitted
transconductance amplifier (OTA) that can be used as a
control amplifier. The output is capable of directly driving
an external power transistor.
The TDF5140A is designed for systems with low current
consumption: use of I2L logic, adaptive base drive for the
output transistors (patented), possibility of using a pick-up
coil without bias current.
Note
1. H = HIGH state;
L = LOW state;
Z = high impedance OFF-state.
The zero-crossing in the motor EMF (detected by the
comparator selected by the commutation logic) is used to
calculate the correct moment for the next commutation,
that is, the change to the next output state. The delay is
calculated (depending on the motor loading) by the
adaptive commutation delay block.

Example: J = 72 × 10-6 kg.m2, K = 25 × 10-3 N.m/A, p = 6
and I = 0.5 A; this gives fosc = 5 Hz. If the damping is high
then a start frequency of 2 Hz can be chosen or t = 500 ms,
thus C = 0.5/2 = 0.25 µF, (choose 220 nF).
Adjustments
The system has been designed in such a way that the
tolerances of the application components are not critical.
However, the approximate values of the following
components must still be determined:
THE ADAPTIVE COMMUTATION DELAY (CAP-CD AND
CAP-DC)
• The start capacitor; this determines the frequency of the
start oscillator.
In this circuit capacitor CAP-CD is charged during one
commutation period, with an interruption of the charging
current during the diode pulse. During the next
commutation period this capacitor (CAP-CD) is discharged
at twice the charging current. The charging current is
8.1 µA and the discharging current 16.2 µA; the voltage
range is from 0.9 to 2.2 V. The voltage must stay within this
range at the lowest commutation frequency of interest, fC1:
• The two capacitors in the adaptive commutation delay
circuit; these are important in determining the optimum
moment for commutation, depending on the type and
loading of the motor.
• The timing capacitor; this provides the system with its
timing signals.
THE START CAPACITOR (CAP-ST)
–6
6231
8.1 × 10
C = -------------------------- = ------------- (C in nF)
f × 1.3
f c1
This capacitor determines the frequency of the start
oscillator. It is charged and discharged, with a current of
2 µA, from 0.05 to 2.2 V and back to 0.05 V. The time
taken to complete one cycle is given by:
If the frequency is lower, then a constant commutation
delay after the zero-crossing is generated by the discharge
from 2.2 to 0.9 V at 16.2 µA.
tstart = (2.15 × C) s (with C in µF)
maximum delay = (0.076 × C) ms (with C in nF)
The start oscillator is reset by a commutation pulse and so
is only active when the system is in the start-up mode. A
pulse from the start oscillator will cause the outputs to
change to the next state (torque in the motor). If the
movement of the motor generates enough EMF the
TDF5140A will run the motor. If the amount of EMF
generated is insufficient, then the motor will move one step
only and will oscillate in its new position. The amplitude of
the oscillation must decrease sufficiently before the arrival
of the next start pulse, to prevent the pulse arriving during
the wrong phase of the oscillation. The oscillation of the
motor is given by:
1
f osc = ----------------------------------Kt × I × p
2π ----------------------J
where:
Example: nominal commutation frequency = 900 Hz and
the lowest usable frequency = 400 Hz, so:
6231
CAP-CD = ------------- = 15.6 (choose 18 nF)
400
The other capacitor, CAP-DC, is used to repeat the same
delay by charging and discharging with 15.5 µA. The same
value can be chosen as for CAP-CD. Fig.6 illustrates
typical voltage waveforms.

time is made too long, then the motor may run in the wrong
direction (with little torque).
THE TIMING CAPACITOR (CAP-TI)
Capacitor CAP-TI is used for timing the successive steps
within one commutation period; these steps include some
internal delays.
The capacitor is charged, with a current of 57 µA, from
0.2 to 0.3 V. Above this level it is charged, with a current of
5 µA, up to 2.2 V only if the selected motor EMF remains
in the wrong polarity (watchdog function). At the end, or, if
the motor voltage becomes positive, the capacitor is
discharged with a current of 28 µA. The watchdog time is
the time taken to charge the capacitor, with a current of
5 µA, from 0.3 to 2.2 V.
The most important function is the watchdog time in which
the motor EMF has to recover from a negative diode-pulse
back to a positive EMF voltage (or vice versa). A watchdog
timer is a guarding function that only becomes active when
the expected event does not occur within a predetermined
time.
To ensure that the internal delays are covered CAP-TI
must have a minimum value of 2 nF. For the watchdog
function a value for CAP-TI of 10 nF is recommended.
The EMF usually recovers within a short time if the motor
is running normally (<<ms). However, if the motor is
motionless or rotating in the reverse direction, then the
time can be longer (>>ms).
To ensure a good start-up and commutation, care must be
taken that no oscillations occur at the trailing edge of the
flyback pulse. Snubber networks at the outputs should be
critically damped.
A watchdog time must be chosen so that it is long enough
for a motor without EMF (still) and eddy currents that may
stretch the voltage in a motor winding; however, it must be
short enough to detect reverse rotation. If the watchdog

If the chosen value of CAP-TI is too small oscillations can occur in certain positions of a blocked rotor. If the chosen value is too large, then it
is possible that the motor may run in the reverse direction (synchronously with little torque).
Fig.7 Typical CAP-TI and VMOT1 voltage waveforms in normal running mode.
The accuracy of the FG output signal (jitter) is very good.
This accuracy depends on the symmetry of the motor's
electromagnetic construction, which also effects the
satisfactory functioning of the motor itself.
Other design aspects
There are other design aspects concerning the application
of the TDF5140A besides the commutation function. They
are:
Example: A 3-phase motor with 6 magnetic pole-pairs at
1500 rpm and with a full-wave drive has a commutation
frequency of 25 × 6 × 6 = 900 Hz, and generates a tacho
signal of 450 Hz.
• Generation of the tacho signal FG
• A built-in interface for a PG sensor
• General purpose operational transconductance
amplifier (OTA)
• Possibilities of motor control
PG SIGNAL
• Reliability.
The accuracy of the PG signal in applications such as VCR
must be high (phase information). This accuracy is
obtained by combining the accurate FG signal with the PG
signal by using a wide tolerance external PG sensor. The
external PG signal (PG IN) is only used as an indicator to
select a particular FG pulse. This pulse differs from the
other FG pulses in that it has a short LOW-time of 18 µs
after a HIGH-to-LOW transition. All other FG pulses have
a 50% duty factor (see Fig.8).
FG SIGNAL
The FG signal is generated in the TDF5140A by using the
zero-crossing of the motor EMF from the three motor
windings. Every zero-crossing in a (star connected) motor
winding is used to toggle the FG output signal. The FG
frequency is therefore half the commutation frequency.
All transitions indicate the detection of a zero-crossing
(except for PG). The negative-going edges are called FG
pulses because they generate an interrupt in a controlling
microprocessor.

The special PG pulse is derived from the negative-going
zero-crossing from the MOT3 output (pin 16). The external
PG signal (PG IN on pin 5) must sense a positive-going
voltage (>80 mV) within 1.5 to 7.5 commutation periods
before the negative-going zero-crossing in MOT3
(see Fig.8).

PG IN
The voltage requirements of the PG IN input are such that
an inexpensive pick-up coil can be used as a sensor
(see Fig.9).

Example: If p = 6, then one revolution contains 6 × 6 = 36
commutations. The tolerance is 6 periods, that is 60
degrees (mechanically) or 6.67 ms at 1500 rpm.
If a PG sensor is not used, the PG IN input must be
grounded, this will result in a 50% duty factor FG signal.

THE OPERATIONAL TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIER (OTA)
RELIABILITY
The OTA is an uncommitted amplifier with a high output
current (40 mA) that can be used as a control amplifier.
The common mode input range includes ground (GND)
and rises to VP − 1.7 V. The high sink current enables the
OTA to drive a power transistor directly in an analog
control amplifier.
It is necessary to protect high current circuits and the
output stages are protected in two ways:
Although the gain is not extremely high (0.3 S), care must
be taken with the stability of the circuit if the OTA is used
as a linear amplifier as no frequency compensation has
been provided.
• Thermal protection of the six output transistors is
achieved by each transistor having a thermal sensor
that is active when the transistor is switched on. The
transistors are switched off when the local temperature
becomes too high.
• Current limiting of the 'lower' output transistors. The
'upper' output transistors use the same base current as
the conducting 'lower' transistor (+15%). This means
that the current to and from the output stages is limited.
The convention for the inputs (inverting or not) is the same
as for a normal operational amplifier: with a resistor (as
load) connected from the output (AMP OUT) to the positive
supply, a positive-going voltage is found when the
non-inverting input (+AMP IN) is positive with respect to
the inverting input (−AMP IN). Confusion is possible
because a 'plus' input causes less current, and so a
positive voltage.
It is possible, that when braking, the motor voltage (via the
flyback diodes and the impedance on VMOT) may cause
higher currents than allowed (>0.6 A). These currents
must be limited externally.
MOTOR CONTROL
DC motors can be controlled in an analog manner using
the OTA.
For the control an external transistor is required. The OTA
can supply the base current for this transistor and act as a
control amplifier.

SOLDERING
Plastic dual in-line packages
BY DIP OR WAVE
The maximum permissible temperature of the solder is 260 °C; this temperature must not be in contact with the joint for
more than 5 s. The total contact time of successive solder waves must not exceed 5 s.
The device may be mounted up to the seating plane, but the temperature of the plastic body must not exceed the
specified storage maximum. If the printed-circuit board has been pre-heated, forced cooling may be necessary
immediately after soldering to keep the temperature within the permissible limit.
REPAIRING SOLDERED JOINTS
Apply the soldering iron below the seating plane (or not more than 2 mm above it). If its temperature is below 300 °C, it
must not be in contact for more than 10 s; if between 300 and 400 °C, for not more than 5 s.
