CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
POWER STAGES and CHARGE PUMP
The L6226 integrates two independent Power MOS
Full Bridges. Each Power MOS has an Rdson=0.73ohm (typical value @ 25°C), with intrinsic
fast freewheeling diode. Cross conduction protection
is achieved using a dead time (td = 1µs typical) between the switch off and switch on of two Power MOS
in one leg of a bridge.
Using N Channel Power MOS for the upper transistors in the bridge requires a gate drive voltage above
the power supply voltage. The Bootstrapped (Vboot)
supply is obtained through an internal Oscillator and
few external components to realize a charge pump
circuit as shown in Figure 3. The oscillator output
(VCP) is a square wave at 600kHz (typical) with 10V
amplitude. Recommended values/part numbers for
the charge pump circuit are shown in Table1.

these pins. Two configurations are shown in Fig. 5
and Fig. 6. If driven by an open drain (collector) structure, a pull-up resistor REN and a capacitor CEN are
connected as shown in Fig. 5. If the driver is a standard Push-Pull structure the resistor REN and the capacitor CEN are connected as shown in Fig. 6. The
resistor REN should be chosen in the range from
2.2kΩ to 180KΩ. Recommended values for REN and
CEN are respectively 100KΩ and 5.6nF. More information on selecting the values is found in the Overcurrent Protection section.

Pins IN1A, IN2A, IN1B, IN2B, ENA and ENB are TTL/
CMOS and uC compatible logic inputs. The internal
structure is shown in Fig. 4. Typical value for turn-on
and turn-off thresholds are respectively Vthon=1.8V
and Vthoff = 1.3V.
Pins ENA and ENB are commonly used to implement
Overcurrent and Thermal protection by connecting
them respectively to the outputs OCDA and OCDB,
which are open-drain outputs. If that type of connection is chosen, some care needs to be taken in driving

NON-DISSIPATIVE OVERCURRENT DETECTION AND PROTECTION
In addition to the PWM current control, an overcurrent detection circuit (OCD) is integrated. This circuit can be
used to provides protection against a short circuit to ground or between two phases of the bridge as well as a
roughly regulation of the load current. With this internal over current detection, the external current sense resistor normally used and its associated power dissipation are eliminated. Fig. 7 shows a simplified schematic of
the overcurrent detection circuit for the Bridge A. Bridge B is provided of an analogous circuit.
To implement the over current detection, a sensing element that delivers a small but precise fraction of the output current is implemented with each high side power MOS. Since this current is a small fraction of the output
current there is very little additional power dissipation. This current is compared with an internal reference current IREF. When the output current reaches the detection threshold Isover the OCD comparator signals a fault
condition. When a fault condition is detected, an internal open drain MOS with a pull down capability of 4mA
connected to OCD pin is turned on. Fig. 8 shows the OCD operation.
This signal can be used to regulate the output current simply by connecting the OCD pin to EN pin and adding
an external R-C as shown in Fig.7. The off time before recovering normal operation can be easily programmed
by means of the accurate thresholds of the logic inputs.
IREF and, therefore, the output current detection threshold are selectable by RCL value, following the equations:
– Isover = 2.8A ±30% at -25°C < T j < 125°C if RCL = 0Ω (PROGCL connected to GND)
11050
– Isover = ---------------- ±10% at -25°C < T j < 125°C if 5KΩ < RC < 40kΩ
R CL
Fig. 9 shows the output current protection threshold versus RCL value in the range 5kΩ to 40kΩ.
The Disable Time tDISABLE before recovering normal operation can be easily programmed by means of the accurate thresholds of the logic inputs. It is affected whether by CEN and REN values and its magnitude is reported in
Figure 10. The Delay Time tDELAY before turning off the bridge when an overcurrent has been detected depends
only by CEN value. Its magnitude is reported in Figure 11.
CEN is also used for providing immunity to pin EN against fast transient noises. Therefore the value of CEN should
be chosen as big as possible according to the maximum tolerable Delay Time and the REN value should be chosen
according to the desired Disable Time.
The resistor REN should be chosen in the range from 2.2KΩ to 180KΩ. Recommended values for REN and CEN
are respectively 100KΩ and 5.6nF that allow obtaining 200µs Disable Time.

THERMAL PROTECTION
In addition to the Ovecurrent Detection, the L6226 integrates a Thermal Protection for preventing the device
destruction in case of junction over temperature. It works sensing the die temperature by means of a sensible
element integrated in the die. The device switch-off when the junction temperature reaches 165°C (typ. value)
with 15°C hysteresis (typ. value).

L6226
APPLICATION INFORMATION
A typical application using L6226 is shown in Fig. 12. Typical component values for the application are shown
in Table 2. A high quality ceramic capacitor in the range of 100 to 200 nF should be placed between the power
pins (VSA and VSB) and ground near the L6226 to improve the high frequency filtering on the power supply and
reduce high frequency transients generated by the switching. The capacitors connected from the ENA/OCDA
and ENB/OCDB nodes to ground set the shut down time for the Brgidge A and Bridge B respectively when an
over current is detected (see Overcurrent Protection). The two current sources (SENSEA and SENSEB) should
be connected to Power Ground with a trace length as short as possible in the layout. To increase noise immunity, unused logic pins are best connected to 5V (High Logic Level) or GND (Low Logic Level) (see pin description). It is recommended to keep Power Ground and Signal Ground separated on PCB.

PARALLELED OPERATION
The outputs of the L6226 can be paralleled to increase the output current capability or reduce the power dissipation in the device at a given current level. It must be noted, however, that the internal wire bond connections
from the die to the power or sense pins of the package must carry current in both of the associated half bridges.
When the two halves of one full bridge (for example OUT1A and OUT2A) are connected in parallel, the peak
current rating is not increased since the total current must still flow through one bond wire on the power supply
or sense pin. In addition the over current detection senses the sum of the current in the upper devices of each
bridge (A or B) so connecting the two halves of one bridge in parallel does not increase the over current detection threshold.
For most applications the recommended configuration is Half Bridge 1 of Bridge A paralleled with the Half Bridge
1 of the Bridge B, and the same for the Half Bridges 2 as shown in Figure 13. The current in the two devices
connected in parallel will share very well since the RDS(ON) of the devices on the same die is well matched.
When connected in this configuration the over current detection circuit, which senses the current in each bridge
(A and B), will sense the current in upper devices connected in parallel independently and the sense circuit with
the lowest threshold will trip first. With the enables connected in parallel, the first detection of an over current in
either upper DMOS device will turn of both bridges. Assuming that the two DMOS devices share the current
equally, the resulting over current detection threshold will be twice the minimum threshold set by the resistors
RCLA or RCLB in figure 13. It is recommended to use RCLA = RCLB.
In this configuration the resulting Bridge has the following characteristics.
- Equivalent Device: FULL BRIDGE
- RDS(ON) 0.37Ω Typ. Value @ TJ = 25°C
- 2.8A max RMS Load Current
- 5.6A max OCD Threshold

To operate the device in parallel and maintain a lower over current threshold, Half Bridge 1 and the Half Bridge
2 of the Bridge A can be connected in parallel and the same done for the Bridge B as shown in Figure 14. In
this configuration, the peak current for each half bridge is still limited by the bond wires for the supply and sense
pins so the dissipation in the device will be reduced, but the peak current rating is not increased.
When connected in this configuration the over current detection circuit, senses the sum of the current in upper
devices connected in parallel. With the enables connected in parallel, an over current will turn of both bridges.
Since the circuit senses the total current in the upper devices, the over current threshold is equal to the threshold
set the resistor RCLA or RCLB in figure 14. RCLA sets the threshold when outputs OUT1A and OUT2A are high
and resistor RCLB sets the threshold when outputs OUT1B and OUT2B are high.
It is recommended to use RCLA = RCLB.
In this configuration, the resulting bridge has the following characteristics.
- Equivalent Device: FULL BRIDGE
- RDS(ON) 0.37Ω Typ. Value @ TJ = 25°C
- 1.4A max RMS Load Current
- 2.8A max OCD Threshold

It is also possible to parallel the four Half Bridges to obtain a simple Half Bridge as shown in Fig. 15. In this
configuration the, the over current threshold is equal to twice the minimum threshold set by the resistors RCLA
or RCLB in Figure 15. It is recommended to use RCLA = RCLB.
The resulting half bridge has the following characteristics.

OUTPUT CURRENT CAPABILITY AND IC POWER DISSIPATION
In Fig. 16 and Fig. 17 are shown the approximate relation between the output current and the IC power dissipation using PWM current control driving two loads, for two different driving types:
– One Full Bridge ON at a time (Fig.16) in which only one load at a time is energized.
– Two Full Bridges ON at the same time (Fig.17) in which two loads at the same time are energized.
For a given output current and driving type the power dissipated by the IC can be easily evaluated, in order to
establish which package should be used and how large must be the on-board copper dissipating area to guarantee a safe operating junction temperature (125°C maximum).

THERMAL MANAGEMENT
In most applications the power dissipation in the IC is the main factor that sets the maximum current that can be deliver by the device in a safe operating condition. Therefore, it has to be taken into account very carefully. Besides the
available space on the PCB, the right package should be chosen considering the power dissipation. Heat sinking can
be achieved using copper on the PCB with proper area and thickness. Figures 19, 20 and 21 show the Junction-toAmbient Thermal Resistance values for the PowerSO36, PowerDIP24 and SO24 packages.
For instance, using a PowerSO package with copper slug soldered on a 1.5 mm copper thickness FR4 board
with 6cm2 dissipating footprint (copper thickness of 35µm), the Rth j-amb is about 35°C/W. Fig. 18 shows mounting methods for this package. Using a multi-layer board with vias to a ground plane, thermal impedance can be
reduced down to 15°C/W.
