AMIS-30624, NCV70624
I2C Micro-stepping Motor
Driver
INTRODUCTION
The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is a single−chip micro−stepping
motor driver with a position controller and control/diagnostic
interface. It is ready to build intelligent peripheral systems where up to
32 drivers can be connected to one I2C master. This significantly
reduces system complexity.
The chip receives positioning instructions through the bus and
subsequently drives the stator coils so the two−phase stepper motor
moves to the desired position. The on−chip position controller is
configurable (OTP or RAM) for different motor types, positioning
ranges and parameters for speed, acceleration and deceleration.
Micro−stepping allows silent motor operation and increased
positioning resolution. The advanced motion qualification mode
enables verification of the complete mechanical system in function of
the selected motion parameters. The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 can
easily be connected to an I2C bus where the I2C master can fetch
specific status information like actual position, error flags, etc. from
each individual slave node.
An integrated sensorless step−loss detection prevents the positioner
from loosing steps and stops the motor when running into stall. This
enables silent, yet accurate position calibrations during a referencing
run and allows semi−closed loop operation when approaching the
mechanical end−stops.
The chip is implemented in I2T100 technology, enabling both high
voltage analog circuitry and digital functionality on the same chip.
The NCV70624 is fully compatible with the automotive voltage
requirements.

PACKAGE THERMAL RESISTANCE
The major thermal resistances of the device are the Rth
from the junction to the ambient (Rthja) and the overall Rth
from the junction to the leads (Rthjp).
The NQFP device is designed to provide superior thermal
performance. Using an exposed die pad on the bottom
surface of the package is mainly contributing to this
performance. In order to take full advantage of the exposed
pad, it is most important that the PCB has features to conduct
heat away from the package. A thermal grounded pad with
thermal vias can achieve this.
In the table below, one can find the values for the Rthja and
Rthjp, simulated according to the JESD−51 norm:
The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is available in SOIC−20 or
optimized NQFP−32 packages. For cooling optimizations,
the NQFP has an exposed thermal pad which has to be
soldered to the PCB ground plane. The ground plane needs
thermal vias to conduct the head to the bottom layer. Figures
3 and 4 give examples for good power distribution solutions.
For precise thermal cooling calculations the major
thermal resistances of the devices are given. The thermal
media to which the power of the devices has to be given are:
 Static environmental air (via the case)
 PCB board copper area (via the device pins and
exposed pad)
The thermal resistances are presented in Table 5: DC
Parameters.

17. The maximum number of connected I2C devices is dependent on the number of available addresses and the maximum bus capacitance
to still guarantee the rise and fall times of the bus signals.
18. An I2C device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIHmin of the SCL signal) to bridge
the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
19. The maximum tHD,DAT has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.
20. A Fast−mode I2C−bus device can be used in a standard−mode I2C bus system, but the requirement tSU,DATA w 250 ns must than be met.
This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW
period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line trmax + tSU,DATA = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
standard−mode I2C−bus specification) before the SCL line is released.

POSITIONING PARAMETERS
Stepping Modes
Maximum Velocity
One of four possible stepping modes can be programmed:
 Half−stepping
 1/4 micro−stepping
 1/8 micro−stepping
 1/16 micro−stepping
For each stepping mode, the maximum velocity Vmax can
be programmed to 16 possible values given in the table below.
The accuracy of Vmax is derived from the internal
oscillator. Under special circumstances it is possible to
change the Vmax parameter while a motion is ongoing. All
16 entries for the Vmax parameter are divided into four
groups. When changing Vmax during a motion the
application must take care that the new Vmax parameter
stays within the same group.

(AccShape = 0) the length of the first step is shorter than 1/Vmin depending of Vmin, Vmax and Acc.

STRUCTURAL DESCRIPTION
See also the Block Diagram in Figure 1.
Stepper Motordriver

The Motordriver receives the control signals from the
control logic. The main features are:
 Two H−bridges, designed to drive a stepper motor with
two separated coils. Each coil (X and Y) is driven by
one H−bridge, and the driver controls the currents
flowing through the coils. The rotational position of the
rotor, in unloaded condition, is defined by the ratio of
current flowing in X and Y. The torque of the stepper


motor when unloaded is controlled by the magnitude of
the currents in X and Y.
The control block for the H−bridges, including the
PWM control, the synchronous rectification and the
internal current sensing circuitry.
The charge pump to allow driving of the H−bridges’
high side transistors.
Two pre−scale 4−bit DAC’s to set the maximum
magnitude of the current through X and Y.
http://onsemi.com

AMIS−30624, NCV70624
e.g. when it hits the end position, the velocity, and as a result
also the generated back−emf, is disturbed. The
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 senses the back−emf, calculates
a moving average and compares the value with two
independent threshold levels. If the back−emf disturbance is
bigger than the set threshold, the running motor is stopped.
 Two DAC’s to set the correct current ratio through X
and Y.
Battery voltage monitoring is also performed by this
block, which provides the required information to the
control logic part. The same applies for detection and
reporting of an electrical problem that could occur on the
coils or the charge pump.
Miscellaneous
The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 also contains the
following:
 An internal oscillator, needed for the control logic
handler as well as the control logic and the PWM
control of the motordriver.
 An internal trimmed voltage source for precise
referencing.
 A protection block featuring a thermal shutdown and a
power−on−reset circuit.
 A 5 V regulator (from the battery supply) to supply the
internal logic circuitry.
Control Logic (Position Controller and Main Control)
The control logic block stores the information provided by
the I2C interface (in a RAM or an OTP memory) and
digitally controls the positioning of the stepper motor in
terms of speed and acceleration, by feeding the right signals
to the motordriver state machine.
It will take into account the successive positioning
commands to properly initiate or stop the stepper motor in
order to reach the set point in a minimum time.
It also receives feedback from the motordriver part in
order to manage possible problems and decide on internal
actions and reporting to the I2C interface.
Motion Detection
Motion detection is based on the back−emf generated
internally in the running motor. When the motor is blocked,

Positioning and Motion Control
A positioning command will produce a motion as
illustrated in Figure 7. A motion starts with an acceleration
phase from minimum velocity (Vmin) to maximum velocity
(Vmax) and ends with a symmetrical deceleration. This is
defined by the control logic according to the position
required by the application and the parameters programmed
by the application during the configuration phase. The
current in the coils is also programmable.

Dual Positioning
acceleration). Once the second motion is achieved, the
ActPos register is reset to zero, whereas TagPos register
is not changed.
When the Secure position is enabled, after the dual
positioning, the secure positioning is executed. The figure
below gives a detailed overview of the dual positioning
function. After the dual positioning is executed an internal
flag is set to indicate the AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is
referenced.
A SetDualPosition command allows the user to
perform a positioning using two different velocities. The first
motion is done with the specified Vmin and Vmax velocities
in the SetDualPosition command, with the acceleration
(deceleration) parameter already in RAM, to a position
Pos1[15:0] also specified in SetDualPosition.
Then a second relative motion to a physical position
Pos1[15:0] + Pos2[15:0] is done at the specified
Vmin velocity in the SetDualPosition command (no

Remark: This operation cannot be interrupted or influenced by any further command unless the occurrence of the conditions
driving to a motor shutdown or by a HardStop command. Sending a SetDualPosition command while a motion is
already ongoing is not recommended.
24. The priority encoder is describing the management of states and commands.
25. A DualPosition sequence starts by setting TagPos buffer register to SecPos value, provided secure position is enabled otherwise TagPos
is reset to zero. If a SetPosition(Short) command is issued during a DualPosition sequence, it will be kept in the position buffer memory and
executed afterwards. This applies also for the command GotoSecurePosition.
26. Commands such as GetFullStatus1 or GetFullStatus2 will be executed while a Dual Positioning is running.
27. The Pos1, Pos2, Vmax and Vmin values programmed in a SetDualPosition command apply only for this sequence. All other motion
parameters are used from the RAM registers (programmed for instance by a former SetMotorParam command). After the DualPosition
motion is completed, the former Vmin and Vmax become active again.
28. Commands ResetPosition, SetDualPosition, and SoftStop will be ignored while a DualPosition sequence is ongoing, and will not be executed
afterwards.
29. Recommendation: a SetMotorParam command should not be sent during a SetDualPosition sequence: all the motion parameters
defined in the command, except Vmin and Vmax, become active immediately.
Position Periodicity
The figure below illustrates that the moving direction
going from ActPos = +30000 to TagPos = –30000 is
clockwise.
If a counter clockwise motion is required in this example,
several consecutive SetPosition commands can be
used. One could also use for larger movements the command
RunVelocity.
Depending on the stepping mode the position can range
from −4096 to +4095 in half−step to −32768 to +32767 in
1/16th micro−stepping mode. One can project all these
positions lying on a circle. When executing the command
SetPosition, the position controller will set the
movement direction in such a way that the traveled distance
is minimal.

bottom switch connecting HW pin with a current to resistor
converter. Closing STOP (DriveHS = 1) will sense a current
to GND. In that case the top I³ R converter output is low,
via the closed passing switch SPASS_T this signal is fed to the
“R” comparator which output HW_Cmp is high. Closing
bottom switch SBOT (DriveLS = 1) will sense a current to
VBAT. The corresponding I ³ R converter output is low and
via SPASS_B fed to the comparator. The output HW_Cmp
will be high.

The logic is controlling the correct sequence in closing the
switches and in interpreting the 32 ms debounced HW_Cmp
output accordingly. The output of this small state−machine
is corresponding to:
 High or address = 1
 Low or address = 0
 Floating
As illustrated in the table above (Table 15), the state is
depending on the previous state, the condition of the 2
switch controls (DriveLS and DriveHS) and the output of
HW_Cmp. Figure 11 shows an example of a practical case
where a connection to VBAT is interrupted.

a motion to secure position after a debounce time of 64 ms,
which prevents false triggering in case of micro−
interruptions of the power supply.
A resistor is connected between VBAT and HW. Every
1024 ms SBOT is closed and a current is sensed. The output
of the I  R converter is low and the HW_Cmp output is
high. Assuming the previous state was floating, the internal
logic will interpret this as a change of state and the new state
will be high (see also Table 15). The next time SBOT is closed
the same conditions are observed. The previous state was
high so based on Table 15 the new state remains unchanged.
This high state will be interpreted as HW address = 1.
R2GND
If a resistor is connected between HW and the GND, a
current is sensed every 1024 ms when STOP is closed. The
output of the top I  R converter is low and as a result the
HW_Cmp output switches to high. Again based on the stated
diagram in Table 15 one can see that the state will change to
Low. This low state will be interpreted as HW address = 0.
OPEN
External Switch SWI
In case the HW connection is lost (broken wire, bad
contact in connector) the next time SBOT is closed, this will
be sensed. There will be no current, the output of the
corresponding I  R converter is high and the HW_Cmp
will be low. The previous state was high. Based in Table 15
one can see that the state changes to float. This will trigger
As illustrated in Figure 12 the SWI comparator is almost
identical to HW. The major difference is in the limited
number of states. Only open or closed is recognized leading
to respectively ESW = 0 and ESW = 1.

The FullStatus1 command reads back the
<ActPos> register and the status of ESW. In this way the
master node may get synchronous information about the
state of the switch together with the position of the motor.
See Table 16 below.
As illustrated in the drawing above, a change in state is
always synchronized with DriveHS or DriveLS. The same
synchronization is valid for updating the internal position
register. This means that after every current pulse (or closing
of STOP or SBOT) the state of the position switch together
with the corresponding position is memorized.

Table 20: Flags Table.

10 ms.
After
this
phase,
the
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is in standby mode, ready to
receive I2C messages and execute the associated commands.
After power−up, the registers and flags are in the reset state,
while some of them are being loaded with the OTP memory
content (see Table 19: RAM Registers).
Soft−stop
A soft−stop is an immediate interruption of a motion, but
with a deceleration phase. At the end of this action, the
register <TagPos> is loaded with the value contained in
register <ActPos>, see Table 19: Ram Registers). The
circuit is then ready to execute a new positioning command,
provided thermal and electrical conditions allow for it.

illustrated in the state diagram and illustration of Figure 14:
State Diagram Temperature Management below. The only
condition to reset flags <TW> and <TSD> (respectively
thermal warning and thermal shutdown) is to be at a
temperature lower than Ttw and to get the occurrence of a
GetFullStatus1 I2C frame.
When thermal shutdown occurs, the circuit performs a
<SoftStop> command and goes to motor shutdown
mode (see Figure 14: State Diagram Temperature

Autarkic Functionality in Under−Voltage
Condition
Battery Voltage Management

The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 monitors the battery
voltage by means of one threshold and one shutdown level.
The only condition to reset flags <UV2> and <StepLoss>
is to recover by a battery voltage higher than UV1 and to
receive a GetFullStatus1 command.
Autarkic Function
The device enters states <HardUnder> (see Figure 16),
followed by <ShutUnder> when VBB is below the UV2
level or <CPFail> = 1. The motion is stopped immediately
and Target Position (TagPos) is kept and not overwritten by
Actual Position (ActPos). The motor is in HiZ state and the
flags <UV2> and <Steploss> are set to inform the master
that the voltage has dropped below UV2 or the charge pump
voltage has dropped below the level of the charge pump
comparator and loss of steps is possible.
 If in this state VBB becomes > UV1 within 15 seconds,
then AMIS−30624/NCV70624 returns to <Stopped>
state. From there, it resumes the interrupted motion and
accepts updates of the target position by means of the
commands SetPosition and
GotoSecurePosition, even if the <UV2> flag, the
<CPFail> flag and <Steploss> flags are NOT
cleared.
If however the VBB voltage remains below UV2 level
or the charge pump voltage level is below the charge
pump comparator for more than 15 seconds, then the
device will enter <Shutdown> state and the target
position is overwritten by Actual Position. This state
can be exited only if VBB is > UV1, the charge pump
voltage is above the charge pump comparator voltage
and an incoming command GetFullStatus1 is
received.
Important Notes:
1. In the case of Autarkic positioning, care needs to
be taken because accumulated steploss can cause a
significant deviation between physical and stored
actual position.
2. The SetDualPosition command will only be
executed after clearing the <UV2>, CPFail and
<Steploss> flags.
3. RAM reset occurs when Vdd < VddReset (digital
Power−On−Reset level).
4. The Autarkic function remains active as long as
VDD > VddReset.

<LOCKBT> are already programmed in the OTP memory at
circuit delivery. They correspond to the calibration of the

Each OTP bit is at ‘0’ when not zapped. Zapping a bit will
set it to ‘1’. Thus only bits having to be at ‘1’ must be zapped.
Zapping of a bit already at ‘1’ is disabled. Each OTP byte
will be programmed separately (see command
SetOTPparam). Once OTP programming is completed, bit
<LOCKBG> can be zapped to disable future zapping,
otherwise any OTP bit at ‘0’ could still be zapped by using
a SetOTPparam command.

The command used to load the application parameters via
the I2C bus in the RAM prior to an OTP Memory
programming is SetMotorParam. This allows for a
functional verification before using a SetOTPparam
command to program and zap separately one OTP memory
byte. A GetOTPparam command issued after each
SetOTPparam command allows verifying the correct byte
zapping.
Note: Zapped bits will become active only after a power

to be performed first to guarantee further communication

32. After power−on−reset, the <Standby> state is entered.
33. A DualPosition sequence runs with a separate set of RAM registers. The parameters that are not specified in a DualPosition command are
loaded with the values stored in RAM at the moment the DualPosition sequence starts. <AccShape> is forced to ‘1’ during second motion.
<AccShape> at ‘0’ will be taken into account after the DualPosition sequence. A GetFullStatus1 command will return the default
parameters for <Vmax> and <Vmin> stored in RAM.
34. Shutdown state can be left only when <TSD> and <HS> flags are reset.
35. Flags can be reset only after the master could read them via a GetFullStatus1 command, and provided the physical conditions allow
for it (normal temperature, correct battery voltage and no electrical or charge pump defect).
36. A SetMotorParam command sent while a motion is ongoing (state <GotoPos>) should not attempt to modify <Acc> and <Vmin> values.
This can be done during a DualPosition sequence since this motion uses its own parameters, the new parameters will be taken into account
at the next SetPosition command.
37. <SecEn> = ‘1’ when register <SecPos> is loaded with a value different from the most negative value (i.e. different from 0x400 = “100 0000
0000”).
38. <Stop> flag allows distinguishing whether state <Stopped> was entered after HardStop/SoftStop or not. <Stop> is set to ‘1’ when leaving
state <HardStop> or <SoftStop> and is reset during first clock edge occurring in state <Stopped>.
39. While in state <Stopped>, if <ActPos>  <TagPos> there is a transition to state <GotoPos>. This transition has the lowest priority,
meaning that <Stop>, <TSD>, etceteras are first evaluated for possible transitions.
40. If <StepLoss> is active, then SetPosition and GotoSecurePosition commands are not ignored. <StepLoss> can only be cleared
by a GetFullStatus1 command.

PWM Regulation
Table 22. PWM FREQUENCY SELECTION
In order to force a given current (determined by <Irun>
or <Ihold> and the current position of the rotor) through
the motor coil while ensuring high energy transfer
efficiency, a regulation based on PWM principle is used. The
regulation loop performs a comparison of the sensed output
current to an internal reference, and features a digital
regulation generating the PWM signal that drives the output
switches. The zoom over one micro−step in the Figure 18
above shows how the PWM circuit performs this regulation.
To reduce the current ripple, a higher PWM frequency is
selectable. The RAM register PWMfreq is used for this.

PWM Jitter
To lower the power spectrum for the fundamental and
higher harmonics of the PWM frequency, jitter can be added
to the PWM clock. The RAM register <PWMJEn> is used
for this.

Motor Starting Phase
Motor Stopping Phase
At motion start, the currents in the coils are directly
switched from <Ihold> to <Irun> with a new
sine/cosine ratio corresponding to the first half (or micro−)
step of the motion.
At the end of the deceleration phase, the currents are
maintained in the coils at their actual DC level (hence
keeping the sine/cosine ratio between coils) during the
stabilization time tstab (see AC Table). The currents are then
set to the hold values, respectively Ihold x sin(TagPos)
and Ihold x cos(TagPos), as illustrated below. A new
positioning order can then be executed.

Charge Pump Monitoring
Motor Shutdown Mode
If the charge pump voltage is not sufficient for driving the
high side transistors (due to failure), an internal HardStop
command is issued. This is acknowledged to the master by
raising flag <CPFail> (available with command
GetFullStatus1).
In case this failure occurs while a motion is ongoing, the
flag <StepLoss> is also raised.
A motor shutdown occurs when:
 The chip temperature rises above the thermal shutdown
threshold Ttsd (see Thermal Shutdown Mode).
 The battery voltage goes below UV2 for longer than 15
seconds (see Battery Voltage Management).
 The charge pump voltage goes below the charge pump
comparator level for more than 15 seconds.
 Flag <ElDef> = ‘1’, meaning an electrical problem is
detected on one or both coils, e.g. a short circuit.
Electrical Defect on Coils, Detection and Confirmation
The principle relies on the detection of a voltage drop on
at least one transistor of the H−bridge. Then the decision is
taken to open the transistors of the defective bridge.
This allows the detection the following short circuits:
 External coil short circuit
 Short between one terminal of the coil and Vbat or GND
A motor shutdown leads to the following:
 H−bridges in high impedance mode.
 The <TagPos> register is loaded with the <ActPos>,
except in autarkic states.
The conditions to get out of a motor shutdown mode are:
 Reception of a GetFullStatus1 command AND
 The four above causes are no longer detected
One cannot detect an internal short in the motor.
Open circuits are detected by 100% PWM duty cycle
value during one electrical period with duration, determined
by Vmin.
This leads to H−bridges going in Ihold mode. Hence, the
circuit is ready to execute any positioning command.

This can be illustrated in the following sequence given as an application example. The master can check whether there is
a problem or not and decide which application strategy to adopt.

− The application is not aware of this
SetPosition


− The position set−point is

− Motor shutdown mode

Important: While in shutdown mode, since there is no hold
current in the coils, the mechanical load can cause a step loss,
which
indeed

be
flagged
by
the
AMIS−30624/NCV70624.
Note: The Priority Encoder is describing the management of
states and commands.
Warning: The application should limit the number of
consecutive GetFullStatus1 commands to try to get the
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 out of shutdown mode when this
proves to be unsuccessful, e.g. there is a permanent defect.
The reliability of the circuit could be altered since
GetFullStatus1 attempts to disable the protection of the
H−bridges.

moving average and compares the value with two
independent threshold levels: Absolute threshold
(AbsThr[3:0]) and Delta threshold (<DelThr[3:0]>).
Instructions for correct use of these two levels in
combination
with
three
additional
parameters
(<MinSamples>, <FS2StallEn> and <DC100StEn>)
are available in a dedicated Application Note “Robust
Motion Control with AMIS−3062x Stepper Motor Drivers”.
If the motor is accelerated by a pulling or propelling force
and the resulting back emf increases above the Delta
threshold (+DTHR), then <DelStallHi> is set. When the
motor is slowing down and the resulting back emf decreases
below the Delta threshold (−DTHR), then <DelStallLo>
is set. When the motor is blocked and the velocity is zero
after the acceleration phase, the back emf is low or zero.
When this value is below the Absolute threshold,
<AbsStall> is set. The <Stall> flag is the OR function
of <DelStallLo> OR <DelStallHi> OR
<AbsStall>.
Motion Detection
Motion detection is based on the back emf generated
internally in the running motor. When the motor is blocked,
e.g. when it hits the end−stop, the velocity and as a result also
the generated back emf, is disturbed. The
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 senses the back emf, calculates a

By design, the motion will only be detected when the
motor is running at the maximum velocity, not during
acceleration or deceleration.
If the motor is positioning when Stall is detected, an
(internal) hardstop of the motor is generated and the
<StepLoss> and <Stall> flags are set. These flags can
only be reset by sending a GetFullStatus1 command.
If Stall appears during DualPosition then the first phase is
cancelled (via internal hardstop) and after timeout Tstab (see
AC table) the second phase at Vmin starts.
When the <Stall> flag is set the position controller will
generate an internal HardStop. As a consequence also the
<Steploss> flag will be set. The position in the internal
counter will be copied to the <ActPos> register. All flags
can be read out with the GetFullStatus1 command.

Important Remark (limited to motion detection flags /
parameters):
Using GetFullStatus1 will read AND clear the
following flags: <Steploss>, <Stall>, <AbsStall>,
<DelStallLo> and <DelStallHi>. New positioning is
possible and the <ActPos> register will be further updated.
Motion detection is disabled when the RAM registers
<AbsThr[3:0]> and <DelThr[3:0]> are zero. Both
levels can be programmed using the I2C command
SetStallParam in the registers <AbsThr[3:0]> and
<DelThr[3:0]>.
Also
the
OTP
register
<AbsThr[3:0]> and <DelThr[3:0]> can be set
using the I2C command SetOTPParam. These values are
copied in the RAM registers during power on reset.

Motion Qualification Mode (*)
This mode is useful to debug motion parameters and to
verify the stability of stepper motor systems. The motion
qualification mode is entered by means of the I2C command
TestBemf. The SWI pin will be converted into an
analogue output on which the Back EMF integrator output
can be measured. Once activated, it can only be stopped after
a POR. During the Back emf observation, reading of the
SWI state is internally forbidden.

I2C BUS DESCRIPTION
General Description
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 uses a simple bi−directional
2−wire bus for efficient inter−ic control. This bus is called
the Inter IC or I2C−bus.
Features include:
 Only two bus lines are required; a serial data line
(SDA) and a serial clock line (SCK).
 Each device connected to the bus is software
addressable by a unique address and simple
master/slave relationships exists at all times; master can
operate as master−transmitter or as master receiver.
 Serial, 8−bit oriented, bi−directional data transfers can
be made up to 400 kb/s.
 On−chip filtering rejects spikes on the bus data line to
preserve data integrity.
 No need to design bus interfaces because I2C−bus
interface is already integrated on−chip.
 IC’s can be added to or removed from a system without
affecting any other circuits on the bus.
Concept
The I2C−bus consists of two wires, serial data (SDA) and
serial clock (SCK), carrying information between the
devices connected on the bus. Each device connected to the
bus is recognized by a unique address and operates as either
a transmitter or receiver, depending on the function of the
device. AMIS−30624/NCV70624 can both receive and
transmit data. In addition to transmitters and receivers,
devices can also be considered as masters or slaves when
performing data transfers. AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is a
slave device. See Table 31.

highlights
the
master−slave
and
receiver−transmitter relationships to be found on the
I2C−bus. It should be noted that these relationships are not
permanent but only depend on the direction of data transfer
at that time. The transfer of data would proceed as follows:
1. Suppose the microcontroller wants to send
information to motordriver_1:
 Microcontroller (master) addresses
motordriver_1 (slave)
 Microcontroller (master−transmitter) sends data
to motordriver_1 (slave−receiver)
 Microcontroller terminates the transfer
2. If the microcontroller wants to receive information
from motordriver_2:
 Microcontroller (master) addresses
motordriver_2 (slave)
 Microcontroller (master−receiver) receives data
from motordriver_2 (slave−transmitter)
 Microcontroller terminates the transfer
Even in this case the master generates the timing and
terminates the transfer.
Generation of the signals on the I2C−bus is always the
responsibility of the master device. It generates its own
clock signal when transferring data on the bus. Bus clock
signals from a master can only be altered when they are
stretched by a slow slave device holding−down the clock
line.

Figure 22. Connection of a Device to the I2C−bus
START and STOP Conditions
Both SDA and SCK are bi−directional lines connected to
a positive supply voltage via a pull−up resistor (see
Figure 22). When the bus is free both lines are HIGH. The
output stages of the devices connected to the bus must have
an open drain to perform the wired−AND function. Data on
the I2C−bus can be transferred up to 400 kb/s in fast mode.
The number of interfaces connected to the bus is dependent
on the maximum bus capacitance limit (See CB in Table 6)
and the available number of addresses.
Within the procedure of the I2C−bus, unique situations
arise, which are defined as START (S) and STOP (P)
conditions (See Figure 24).
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA line while SCK
is HIGH is one such unique case. This situation indicates a
START condition. LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line
while SCK is HIGH defines a STOP condition.
START and STOP conditions are always generated by the
master. The bus is considered to be busy after the START
condition. The bus is considered to be free again a certain
time after the STOP condition. The bus free situation is
specified as tBUF in Table 6.
The bus stays busy if a repeated START (Sr) is generated
instead of a STOP condition. In this respect, the START (S)
and repeated START (Sr) conditions are functionally
identical (See Figure 25). The symbol S will be used to
represent START and repeated START, unless otherwise
noted.
Bit Transfer
The levels for logic ‘0’ (LOW) and ‘1’ (HIGH) are not
fixed in the I2C standard but dependent on the used VDD
level. Using AMIS−30624/NCV70624, the levels are
specified in Table 5. One clock pulse is generated for each
data bit transferred.
Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH
period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the data line
can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is
LOW (See Figure 23).

Transferring Data
with the most significant bit (MSB) first (See Figure 25). If
a slave can’t receive or transmit another complete byte of
data, it can hold the clock line SCK LOW to force the master
into a wait state. Data transfer then continues when the slave
is ready for another byte of data and releases clock line SCK.
Byte Format
Every byte put on the SDA line must be 8−bits long. The
number of bytes that can be transmitted per transfer to
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is restricted to eight. Each byte
has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred

Acknowledge
If AMIS−30624/NCV60624 as slave−receiver does
acknowledge the slave address but later in the transfer
cannot receive any more data bytes, this is indicated by
generating a not−acknowledge on the first byte to follow.
The master generates than a STOP or a repeated START
condition.
If a master−receiver is involved in the transfer, it must
signal the end of data to the slave−transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte that was clocked
out of the slave. AMIS−30624/NCV70624 as
slave−transmitter shall release the data line to allow the
master to generate STOP or repeated START condition.
Data transfer with acknowledge is obligatory. The
acknowledge−related clock pulse is generated by the master.
The transmitter releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the
acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so that it
remains stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock
pulse (see Figure 26). Of course, set−up and hold times must
also taken into account (see Table 6). When
AMIS−30624/NCV60624 doesn’t acknowledge the slave
address, the data line will be left HIGH. The master can than
generate either a STOP condition to abort the transfer, or a
repeated START condition to start a new transfer.

address is 7−bit long followed by an eighth bit which is a data
direction bit (R/W) − a ‘zero’ indicates a transmission
(WRITE), a ‘one’ indicates a request for data (READ). A
data transfer is always terminated by a STOP condition (P)
generated by the master.
The master generates the clock on the SCK line to transfer
messages on the I2C−bus. Data is only valid during the
HIGH period of the clock.

However, if a master still wishes to communicate on the

Writing Data to AMIS−30624/NCV70624
When writing to AMIS−30624/NCV70624, the
master−transmitter transmits to slave−receiver and the
transfer direction is not changed. A complete transmission
consists of:
 Start condition

Any further data bytes are followed by an
acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is used to
signal a correct reception of the data to the
transmitter. In this case the
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 pulls the SDA line to ‘0’.
The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 reads the incoming
data at SDA on every rising edge of the SCK signal

P = Stop condition
A = Acknowledge (SDA = LOW)
A = No Acknowledge (SDA = HIGH)
Figure 28. Master Writing Data to AMIS−30624/NCV70624
1. The first transmission consists of two bytes of
data:
 The first byte contains the slave address and the
write bit.
 The second byte contains the address of an
internal register in the
AMIS−30624/NCV70624. This internal
register address is stored in the circuit RAM.
Some commands for the AMIS−30624/NCV70624 are
supporting eight bytes of data, other commands are
transmitting two bytes of data. See Table 31.
Reading Data to AMIS−30624/NCV70624
When reading data from AMIS−30624/NCV70624 two

Notes:
1. Each byte is followed by an acknowledgment bit as indicated by the A or A in the sequence.
2. I2C−bus compatible devices must reset their bus logic on receipt of a START condition such that they all anticipate the sending of a
slave address, even if these START conditions are not positioned according to the proper format.
3. A START condition immediately followed by a STOP condition (void message) is an illegal format.
7−bit Addressing
The addressing procedure for the I2C−bus is such that the
first byte after the START condition usually determines
which slave will be selected by the master. The exception is
the general call address which can call all devices. When this
address is used all devices should respond with an
acknowledge. The second byte of the general call address
then defines the action to be taken.
AMIS−30624/NCV70624 is provided with a physical
address in order to discriminate this circuit from other
circuits on the I2C bus. This address is coded on seven bits
(two bits being internally hardwired to ‘1’), yielding the
theoretical possibility of 32 different circuits on the same
bus. It is a combination of four OTP memory bits (OTP
Memory Structure OPEN) and of the externally hardwired
address bits (pin HW). HW must either be connected to
ground or to Vbat. When HW is not connected and is left
floating, correct functionality of the positioner is not
guaranteed. The motor will be driven to the programmed
secure position (See Hardwired Address – OPEN).
Definition of Bits in the First Byte
The first seven bits of the first byte make up the slave
address. The eighth bit is the least significant bit (LSB). It
determines the direction of the message. If the LSB is a
“zero” it means that the master will write information to a
selected slave. A “one” in this position means that the master
will read information from the slave. When an address is
sent, each device in a system compares the first seven bits
after the START condition with its address. If they match,
the device considers itself addressed by the master as a
slave−receiver or slave−transmitter, depending on the R/W
bit.

The AMIS−30624/NCV70624 supports also a “general

When this address is used all devices should respond with an
acknowledge. The second byte of the general call address
then defines the action to be taken.

have been lost. Once the motor is stopped, ActPos register
is copied into TagPos register to ensure keeping the stop
position. The I2C master for some safety reasons can also
issue a HardStop command.
This command will be internally triggered when an
electrical problem is detected in one or both coils, leading to
shutdown mode. If this occurs while the motor is moving,
the <StepLoss> flag is raised to allow warning of the I2C

Note: ActPos and TagPos are not modified by a
ResetToDefault command.
Important: Care should be taken not to send a
ResetToDefault command while a motion is ongoing,
since this could modify the motion parameters in a way
forbidden by the position controller.
ResetToDefault
This command is provided to the circuit by the I2C master
in order to reset the whole slave node into the initial state.
ResetToDefault will, for instance, overwrite the RAM
with the reset state of the registers parameters (see Table 19).
This is another way for the I2C master to initialize a slave
node in case of emergency, or simply to refresh the RAM
content.

Therefore, the application should check the actual position
by a GetFullStatus2 corresponds to the following I2C
command frame command prior to starting a dual
positioning. Another solution may consist of programming
a value out of the stepper motor range for Pos1[15:0].
For the same reason Pos2[15:0] should not be equal to
Pos1[15:0].
This command is provided to the circuit by the I2C master
in order to perform a positioning of the motor using two
different velocities. See Section Dual Positioning.
Note: This sequence cannot be interrupted by another
positioning command.

SetMotorParam
This command is provided to the circuit by the I2C master
to set the values for the stepper motor parameters (listed
below) in RAM. Refer to Table 19 to see the meaning of the
parameters sent by the I2C master.
Important: If a SetMotorParam occurs while a motion
is ongoing, it will modify at once the motion parameters (see
Position Controller corresponds to the following I2C
command frame:). Therefore the application should not
change parameters other than Vmax while a motion is
running, otherwise correct positioning cannot be
guaranteed.
