L6474
Fully integrated microstepping motor driver
Datasheet - production data
Applications
 Bipolar stepper motor
Description
POWERSO36
The L6474 device, realized in analog mixed
signal technology, integrates a dual low RDS(on)
DMOS full bridge with all power switches
equipped with an accurate on-chip current
sensing circuitry suitable for non-dissipative
current control and overcurrent protections.
Thanks to a new current control, a 1/16
microstepping is achieved through an adaptive
decay mode which outperforms traditional
implementations.
HTSSOP28
Features
 Operating voltage: 8 - 45 V
 7.0 A output peak current (3.0 A r.m.s.)
 Low RDS(on) power MOSFETs
 Programmable power MOS slew rate
All data registers, including those used to set
analogue values (i.e.: current control value,
current protection trip point, deadtime, etc.) are
sent through a standard 5 Mbit/s SPI.
 Up to 1/16 microstepping
 Current control with adaptive decay
 Non-dissipative current sensing
 SPI interface
 Low quiescent and standby currents
 Programmable non-dissipative overcurrent
protection on all power MOS
A very rich set of protections (thermal, low bus
voltage, overcurrent) makes the L6474 device
“bullet proof” as required by the most demanding
motor control applications.
 Two-level overtemperature protection

6.1
Device power-up
At power-up end, the device state is the following:

Registers are set to default

Internal logic is driven by internal oscillator and a 2 MHz clock is provided by the
OSCOUT pin

Bridges are disabled (High Z)

UVLO bit in STATUS register is forced low (fail condition)

FLAG output is forced low.
During power-up the device is under reset (all logic IO disabled and power bridges in high
impedance state) until the following conditions are satisfied:
6.2

VS is greater than VSthOn

VREG is greater than VREGth = 2.8 V typical

Internal oscillator is operative.
Logic I/O
Pins CS, CK, SDI, STCK, DIR and STBY\RST are TTL/CMOS 3.3 V - 5 V compatible logic
inputs.
Pin SDO is a TTL/CMOS compatible logic output. VDD pin voltage sets the logic output pin
voltage range; when it is connected to VREG or 3.3 V external supply voltage, the output is
3.3 V compatible. When VDD is connected to a 5 V supply voltage, SDO is 5 V compatible.
VDD is not internally connected to VREG, an external connection is always needed.
A 10 µF capacitor should be connected to the VDD pin in order to obtain a proper operation.
Pins FLAG and SYNC are open drain outputs.
6.3
Charge pump
To ensure the correct driving of the high-side integrated MOSFETs, a voltage higher than
the motor power supply voltage needs to be applied to the VBOOT pin. The high-side gate
driver supply voltage VBOOT is obtained through an oscillator and a few external
components realizing a charge pump (see Figure 5).
DocID022529 Rev 4

Figure 5. Charge pump circuitry
6.4
Microstepping
The driver is able to divide the single step into up to 16 microsteps. Stepping mode can be
programmed by STEP_SEL parameter in STEP_MODE register (see Table 19 on page 38).
Step mode can only be changed when bridges are disabled. Every time the step mode is
changed, the electrical position (i.e. the point of microstepping sinewave that is generated)
is reset to the first microstep and the absolute position counter value (see Section 6.5)
becomes meaningless.
Figure 6. Normal mode and microstepping (16 microsteps)
20/53
DocID022529 Rev 4
L6474
6.5
Functional description
Absolute position counter
An internal 22 bit register (ABS_POS) takes memory of motor motion according to the
selected step mode; the stored value unit is equal to the selected step mode (full, half,
quarter, etc.). The position range is from -221 to +221-1 (µ) steps (see Section 9.1.1 on page
34).
6.6
Step sequence control
The motor movement is defined by the step clock signal applied to the STCK pin. At each
step clock rising edge, the motor is moved by one microstep in the direction selected by DIR
input (high for forward direction and low for reverse direction) and absolute position is
consequently updated.
6.7
Enable and disable commands
The power stage of the device can be enabled and disabled through the respective SPI
commands.
The enable command turns on the power outputs and starts the current control algorithm.
The phase currents are controlled according to present EL_POS value. If a fault condition
requires the power stage to be disabled, the command is ignored.
The disable command immediately forces the power outputs in a high impedance condition.

L6474
Internal oscillator and oscillator driver
The control logic clock can be supplied by the internal 16 MHz oscillator, an external
oscillator (crystal or ceramic resonator) or a direct clock signal.
These working modes can be selected by EXT_CLK and OSC_SEL parameters in the
CONFIG register (see Table 23 on page 40).
At power-up the device starts using the internal oscillator and provides a 2 MHz clock signal
on the OSCOUT pin.
Attention: In any case, before changing clock source configuration,
a hardware reset is mandatory. Switching to different clock
configurations during operation could cause unexpected
behavior.
6.8.1
Internal oscillator
In this mode the internal oscillator is activated and OSCIN is unused. If OSCOUT clock
source is enabled, the OSCOUT pin provides a 2, 4, 8 or 16 MHz clock signal (according to
OSC_SEL value); otherwise it is unused (see Figure 7).
6.8.2
External clock source
Two types of external clock source can be selected: crystal/ceramic resonator or direct clock
source. Four programmable clock frequencies are available for each external clock source:
8, 16, 24 and 32 MHz.
When an external crystal/resonator is selected, the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins are used to
drive the crystal/resonator (see Figure 7). The crystal/resonator and load capacitors (CL)
must be placed as close as possible to the pins. Refer to Table 8 for the choice of the load
capacitor value according to the external oscillator frequency.

2. Lower ESR value allows driving greater load capacitors.
If a direct clock source is used, it must be connected to the OSCIN pin and the OSCOUT pin
supplies the inverted OSCIN signal (see Figure 7).

Note:
When OSCIN is UNUSED, it should be left floating.
When OSCOUT is UNUSED it should be left floating.
6.9
Overcurrent detection
When the current in any of the power MOSFETs exceeds a programmed overcurrent
threshold, the STATUS register OCD flag is forced low until the overcurrent event has
expired and a GetStatus command is sent to the IC (see Section 9.1.13 on page 41 and
Section 9.1.9 on page 37). Overcurrent event expires when all the power MOSFET currents
fall below the programmed overcurrent threshold.
The overcurrent threshold can be programmed through the OCD_TH register in one of 16
available values ranging from 375 mA to 6 A with steps of 375 mA (see Section 9.1.9 on
page 37).
It is possible to set whether or not an overcurrent event causes the MOSFET turn-off
(bridges in high impedance status) acting on the OC_SD bit in the CONFIG register (see
Section 9.1.12 on page 39). The OCD flag in the STATUS register is raised anyway (see
Table 28 on page 41, Section 9.1.13).
When the IC outputs are turned off by an OCD event, they cannot be turned on until the
OCD flag is released by a GetStatus command.

L6474
Attention: The overcurrent shutdown is a critical protection feature. It is
not recommended to disable it.
6.10
Undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
The L6474 provides a motor supply UVLO protection. When the motor supply voltage falls
below the VSthOff threshold voltage, the STATUS register UVLO flag is forced low. When
a GetStatus command is sent to the IC, and the undervoltage condition has expired, the
UVLO flag is released (see Section 9.1.13 on page 41 and Section 9.2.7 on page 46).
Undervoltage condition expires when the motor supply voltage goes over the VSthOn
threshold voltage. When the device is in undervoltage condition no motion can be
performed. The UVLO flag is forced low by logic reset (power-up included) even if no UVLO
condition is present.
6.11
Thermal warning and thermal shutdown
An internal sensor allows the L6474 to detect when the device internal temperature exceeds
a thermal warning or an overtemperature threshold.
When the thermal warning threshold (Tj(WRN)) is reached, the TH_WRN bit in the STATUS
register is forced low (see Section 9.1.13) until the temperature decreases below Tj(WRN)
and a GetStatus command is sent to the IC (see Section 9.1.13 and Section 9.2.7).
When the thermal shutdown threshold (Tj(OFF)) is reached, the device goes into thermal
shutdown condition: the TH_SD bit in the STATUS register is forced low, the power bridges
are disabled, bridges in high impedance state and the HiZ bit in the STATUS register are
raised (see Section 9.1.13).
Thermal shutdown condition only expires when the temperature goes below the thermal
warning threshold (Tj(WRN)).
On exiting thermal shutdown condition, the bridges are still disabled (HiZ flag high).
6.12
Reset and standby
The device can be reset and put into standby mode through a dedicated pin. When the
STBY\RST pin is driven low, the bridges are left open (High Z state), the internal charge
pump is stopped, the SPI interface and control logic are disabled, and the internal 3 V
voltage regulator maximum output current is reduced to IREG,STBY; as a result the L6474
heavily reduces the power consumption. At the same time the register values are reset to
default and all protection functions are disabled. STBY\RST input must be forced low at
least for tSTBY, min. in order to ensure the complete switch to standby mode.
On exiting standby mode, as well as for IC power-up, a delay of up to tlogicwu must be given
before applying a new command to allow proper oscillator and logic startup and
a delay of up to tcpwu must be given to allow the charge pump startup.
On exiting standby mode the bridges are disabled (HiZ flag high).

Attention: It is not recommended to reset the device when outputs are
active. The device should be switched to high impedance
state before being reset.
6.13
Programmable DMOS slew rate, deadtime and blanking-time
Using the POW_SR parameter in the CONFIG register, it is possible to set the commutation
speed of the power bridges output (see Table 25 on page 41).
6.14
Integrated analog to digital converter
The L6474 integrates a NADC bit ramp-compare analog to digital converter with a reference
voltage equal to VREG. The analog to digital converter input is available through the ADCIN
pin and the conversion result is available in the ADC_OUT register (see Section 9.1.13 on
page 41). Sampling frequency is equal to the clock frequency divided by 512.
The ADC_OUT value can be used for the torque regulation or is at the user’s disposal.
6.15
Internal voltage regulator
The L6474 integrates a voltage regulator which generates a 3 V voltage starting from the
motor power supply (VSA and VSB). In order to make the voltage regulator stable, at least
22 µF should be connected between the VREG pin and ground (suggested value is 47 µF).
The internal voltage regulator can be used to supply the VDD pin in order to make the
device digital output range 3.3 V compatible (Figure 8). A digital output range 5 V
compatible can be obtained connecting the VDD pin to an external 5 V voltage source. In
both cases, a 10 µF capacitance should be connected to the VDD pin in order to obtain
a correct operation.
The internal voltage regulator is able to supply a current up to IREG,MAX, internal logic
consumption included (Ilogic). When the device is in standby mode the maximum current that
can be supplied is IREG, STBY, internal consumption included (Ilogic, STBY).
If an external 3.3 V regulated voltage is available, it can be applied to the VREG pin in order
to supply all the internal logic and avoid power dissipation of the internal 3 V voltage
regulator (Figure 8). The external voltage regulator should never sink current from the
VREG pin.

SYNC pin
This pin works as a synchronization signal: the output status is an echo of one of the bits of
the EL_POS register according to a SYNC_SEL and STEP_SEL parameter combination
(see Section 9.1.10 on page 38).
6.17
FLAG pin
By default, an internal open drain transistor pulls the FLAG pin to ground when at least one
of the following conditions occurs:

Power-up or standby/reset exit

Overcurrent detection

Thermal warning

Thermal shutdown

UVLO

Switch turn-on event

Wrong command

Non performable command.
It is possible to mask one or more alarm conditions by programming the ALARM_EN
register (see Section 9.1.11 on page 39, Table 21). If the corresponding bit of the
ALARM_EN register is low, the alarm condition is masked and it does not cause a FLAG pin
transition; all other actions imposed by alarm conditions are performed anyway. In case of
daisy chain configuration, FLAG pins of different ICs can be or-wired to save host controller
GPIOs.

Phase current control
Phase current control
The L6474 performs a peak current control technique described in detail in Section 7.1.
Furthermore, the L6474 automatically selects the best decay mode in order to follow the
current profile.
Current control algorithm parameters can be programmed by T_FAST, TON_MIN,
TOFF_MIN and CONFIG registers (see Section 9.1.5 on page 35, Section 9.1.6 on page
35, Section 9.1.7 on page 36 and Section 9.1.12 on page 39 for details).
The current amplitude can be set through the TVAL register (see Section 9.1.4 on page 34).
The output current amplitude can also be regulated by ADCIN voltage value (see
Section 6.14).
Each bridge is driven by an independent control system that shares with the other bridge the
control parameters only.
7.1
Peak current control
The L6474 implements a peak current control algorithm with fixed OFF time. The control
cycle begins in the ON state: the opposite high-side DMOS low-side DMOS of the power
bridges are turned on according to the required current direction. In this way, the phase
current is increased according to the electrical model of the motor.
When the target current value is reached (this value is internally generated according to the
present value of the EL_POS register), the device switches to the OFF state in order to
make the phase current decay. During the OFF state both slow and fast decay can be
performed; the better decay combination is automatically selected by L6472 as described in
Section 7.2.
The tOFF value sets through the TOFF parameter of the CONFIG register and the value of
the TOFF_MIN register. If TOFF is greater than TOFF_MIN, it defines the OFF time of the
system. Otherwise the TOFF_MIN value is used.

Phase current control
7.2
L6474
Auto-adjusted decay mode
During the current control, the device automatically selects the best decay mode in order to
follow the current profile reducing the current ripple.
At reset, the OFF time is performed by turning on both the low-side MOS of the power stage
and the current recirculates in the lower half of the bridge (slow decay).
If, during a PWM cycle, the target current threshold is reached in a time shorter than the
TON_MIN value, a fast decay of TOFF_FAST/8 (T_FAST register) is immediately
performed, turning on the opposite MOS of both half bridges and the current recirculates
back to the supply bus.
After this time, the bridge returns to the ON state: if the time needed to reach the target
current value is still less than TON_MIN, a new fast decay is performed with a period twice
the previous one. Otherwise, the normal control sequence is followed as described in
Section 7.1. The maximum fast decay duration is set by TOFF_FAST value.

When two or more fast decays are performed with present target current, the control system
adds a fast decay at the end of every OFF time, keeping the OFF state duration constant
(tOFF is split into tOFF,SLOW and tOFF,FAST). When the current threshold is increased by
a microstep change (rising step), the system returns to normal decay mode (slow decay
only) and the tFAST value is halved.
Reaching the current sinewave zero crossing causes the current control system to return to
the reset state.

Auto-adjusted fast decay during the falling steps
When the target current is decreased by a microstep change (falling step), the device
performs a fast decay in order to reach the new value as fast as possible. Anyway,
exceeding the fast duration could cause a strong ripple on the step change. The L6474
automatically adjusts these fast decays reducing the current ripple.
At reset, the fast decay value (tFALL) is set to FALL_STEP/4 (T_FAST register). The tFALL
value is doubled every time, within the same falling step, an extra fast decay is necessary to
obtain an ON time greater than TON_MIN. The maximum tFALL value is equal to
FALL_STEP.
At the next falling step, the system uses the last tFALL value of the previous falling step.
Stopping the motor or reaching the current sinewave zero crossing causes the current
control system to return to the reset state.

Torque regulation (output current amplitude regulation)
The output current amplitude can be regulated in two ways: writing the TVAL register or
varying the ADCIN voltage value.
The EN_TQREG bit (CONFIG register) sets the torque regulation method. If this bit is high,
ADC_OUT prevalue is used to regulate output current amplitude (see Section 9.1.8 on page
37). Otherwise the internal analog to digital converter is at the user’s disposal and the output
current amplitude is managed by the TVAL register (see Section 9.1.4 on page 34).
The voltage applied to the ADCIN pin is sampled at fS frequency and converted in an NADC
bit digital signal. The analog to digital conversion result is available in the ADC_OUT
register.

Serial interface
Serial interface
The integrated 8-bit serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used for a synchronous serial
communication between the host microprocessor (always master) and the L6474 (always
slave).
The SPI uses chip select (CS), serial clock (CK), serial data input (SDI) and serial data
output (SDO) pins. When CS is high, the device is unselected and the SDO line is inactive
(high-impedance).
The communication starts when CS is forced low. The CK line is used for synchronization of
data communication.
All commands and data bytes are shifted into the device through the SDI input, most
significant bit first. The SDI is sampled on the rising edges of the CK.
All output data bytes are shifted out of the device through the SDO output, most significant
bit first. The SDO is latched on the falling edges of the CK. When a return value from the
device is not available, an all zero byte is sent.
After each byte transmission, the CS input must be raised and be kept high for at least tdisCS
in order to allow the device to decode the received command and put the return value into
the shift register.
All timing requirements are shown in Figure 13 (see respective Section 3: Electrical
characteristics on page 10 for values).
Multiple devices can be connected in a daisy chain configuration, as shown in Figure 14.

HiZ
When HiZ flag is high, it indicates that the bridges are in high impedance state. Enable
command makes the device exit from High Z state unless error flags forcing a High Z state
are active.

The UVLO flag is active low and is set by an undervoltage lockout or reset events (power-up
included). The TH_WRN, TH_SD, OCD flags are active low and indicate, respectively,
thermal warning, thermal shutdown and overcurrent detection events.
The NOTPERF_CMD and WRONG_CMD flags are active high and indicate, respectively,
that the command received by SPI can't be performed or does not exist at all.
The UVLO, TH_WRN, TH_SD, OCD, NOTPERF_CMD and WRONG_CMD flags are
latched: when the respective conditions make them active (low or high), they remain in that
state until a GetStatus command is sent to the IC.
The DIR bit indicates the current motor direction:

Any attempt to write to the register causes the command to be ignored and the

Programming manual
Command management
The host microcontroller can control motor motion and configure the L6474 through
a complete set of commands.
All commands are composed of a single byte. After the command byte, some bytes of
arguments should be needed (see Figure 15). Argument length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.
Figure 15. Command with three-byte argument
By default, the device returns an all zeroes response for any received byte, the only
exceptions are GetParam and GetStatus commands. When one of these commands is
received, the following response bytes represent the related register value (see Figure 16).
Response length can vary from 1 to 3 bytes.
Figure 16. Command with three-byte response
During response transmission, new commands can be sent. If a command requiring
a response is sent before the previous response is completed, the response transmission is
aborted and the new response is loaded into the output communication buffer (see
Figure 17).
Figure 17. Command response aborted
When a byte that does not correspond to a command is sent to the IC it is ignored and the
WRONG_CMD flag in the STATUS register is raised (see Section 9.1.13).

The SetParam command sets the PARAM register value equal to VALUE; PARAM is the
respective register address listed in Table 16 on page 37.
The command should be followed by the new register VALUE (most significant byte first).
The number of bytes composing the VALUE argument depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 16).
Some registers cannot be written (see Table 16); any attempt to write one of those registers
causes the command to be ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of
command byte, the same is true when an unknown command code is sent (see
Section 9.1.13 on page 41).
Some registers can only be written in particular conditions (see Table 16); any attempt to
write one of those registers when the conditions are not satisfied causes the command to be
ignored and the NOTPERF_CMD flag to rise at the end of last argument byte (see
Section 9.1.13).
Any attempt to set an inexistent register (wrong address value) causes the command to be
ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of command byte, the same is true
when an unknown command code is sent.

This command reads the current PARAM register value; PARAM is the respective register
address listed in Table 16 on page 37.
The command response is the current value of the register (most significant byte first). The
number of bytes composing the command response depends on the length of the target
register (see Table 16).
The returned value is the register one at the moment of GetParam command decoding. If
register values change after this moment the response is not accordingly updated.
All registers can be read anytime.
Any attempt to read an inexistent register (wrong address value) causes the command to be
ignored and the WRONG_CMD flag to rise at the end of command byte, the same is true
when an unknown command code is sent.

The Enable command turns on the power stage of the device.
When the motor is in high-impedance state, an Enable command forces the bridges to exit
from high impedance state.
