SINGLE PHASE FULL WAVE DIRECT PWM MOTOR DRIVER
Description
Pin Assignments
(Top View)
For system flexibility, the motor speed can be controlled by an
external PWM signal and temperature sensed by Thermal resister at
the same time. Based on external input PWM and temperature
signals, the AM4964 adjusts the output PWM duty cycle. If the input
PWM duty is constant, the output PWM duty varies with temperature
sensed by Thermal resister sensor between the low and high
temperature corners. If the temperature signal is constant, the output
duty varies with the external input PWM duty. The low and high
temperature corners and the output PWM duty gap between these
temperature corners are adjustable

To help protect the motor coil, the AM4964 provides a rotor lock
protection which shuts down the output if rotor lock is detected. The
device automatically re-starts when the rotor lock is removed.
AM4964 provides a tachometer output Frequency Generator
(FG). The FG output is the magnetic change frequency.
The AM4964 is available in TSSOP-20EP package.

HB – Hall Bias Output
This is a 1.25V nominal voltage source to bias a differential un-buffered Hall element sensor. If a Hall element requires a lower voltage than the
H-Bias output, connect an appropriate value resistor between the HB pin and the Hall element supply pin.
PWM – Pulse Width Modulate Signal Input Pin
The PWM signal is applied at this pin and then be translated to be stable voltage to control the motors rotate speed.
TL – Low Temperature Corner Set Pin
A resistor (R8) is connected between TL and ground to adjust the low corner temperature.

IN+ and IN- – Hall Inputs
The rotor position is detected by a Hall sensor, with the output applied to the IN+ and IN- pins. This sensor can be either a 4 pin 'naked' Hall
device or of the 3-pin buffered switching type. For a 4-pin device the differential Hall output signal is connected to the IN+ and IN-pins. For a
buffered Hall sensor the Hall device output is attached to the IN+ pin, with a pull-up attached if needed, whilst the IN- pin has an external
potential divider attached to hold the pin at half VREF. When IN+ is high in relation to IN-, OUT2 is the active drive.

VMIN – Minimum Speed Setting
A voltage can be set on this pin via a potential divider between the VREF (or Supply) and GND pins. This voltage is monitored by the PWM pin
to clamp the PWM control voltage so that it does not rise above VMIN voltage. As a higher voltage on the PWM pin represents a lower speed,
the VMIN setting prevents the motor speed going lower than the minimum speed set by the VMIN pin. When the VMIN voltage is higher than the
lowest speed setting voltage allowed (The lowest speed voltage is about 0.28V CC), the fan speed is maintained at the lowest speed.
Adjust the minimum speed vs. input duty to approximately match the target specification via R2 (R1=15kΩ). Measure the fan rotating speed and
the input duty, as shown below.

CT – Locked Rotor Timing Capacitor
NEW PRODUCT
The CT pin will have a capacitor connected to ground. It is a multi-function pin providing timing for the lock detect and auto-restart. Different
rates of charge and discharge of CT capacitor depending on the mode of operation (fan operation status) give the lock-detect time (tLCKDET) and
lock time (tOFF) before the next auto-start retry. When the motor is running, the capacitor is discharged at every Hall signal change.
CT pin provides the timing for the Locked Rotor monitor. In normal operation, Lock Detect is enabled. If the Hall signal does not change (i.e. a
rotor lock condition) within the Lock Detect time (tLCKDET), the outputs are disabled. In this condition the motor will not be driven for a set time tOFF.
This tOFF time depends on the external CT capacitor value and its internal discharge current (I DHG). After the tOFF period device enters auto-restart
phase to re-start the motor with a new Lock Detect time. If the motor has not turned to generate a transition on the Hall inputs by the end of this
tLCKDET period, the motor re-enters motor lock tOFF period with the outputs disabled. If the Hall signal change is detected, the motor is deemed as
running and goes into lock-detection mode. The tLCKDET and tOFF are determined by the value of the external capacitor on the CT pin and the
internal charge and discharge currents during these time periods. The currents during tLCKDET and tOFF are ICHG, and IDHG respectively.
FG – Frequency Generator (Tachometer) Output Pin
This is the Frequency Generator output and is a buffered signal from the Hall sensor. This is an open collector drive giving an active pull down
with the high level being provided by an external pull up resistor.
OUT1 and OUT2 Pins
OUT1 and OUT2 pins provide H bridge driver output for fan and motor coil connection.
VCC – IC Supply voltage
This pin provides the supply for the device.
GND – Supply Return
This is the device supply ground return pin for control signal.
PGND –Power Supply Return
This is the device supply ground return pin for power output pins OUT1 and OUT2 and will generally be the most negative supply pin to the fan.

Applications Note (cont.)
Power Supply Stabilization
The recommended operating voltage range for AM4964 is 3.5V to 16V. A decoupling capacitor C1 (which also acts as re-circulating capacitor at
commutation) should be connected close to the VCC pin. C1 is for power stabilization and should be 1μF or higher depending on the motor
current and motor design.
The HB pin provides a 1.25V Hall bias voltage to drive Hall element. The output of the Hall elements or the Hall switches is connected to Hall
input IN+ and IN- pin as described previously in functional description section. To avoid noise, the connection to the Hall element or switch
should be as short as possible. The Hall input stage (IN+ and IN- pin) has a hysteresis of 20mV typical. The differential Hall input signal should
be 50mV peak or higher.
Speed Control
The motor speed is governed by the output PWM duty of the H Bridge.

Hall Bias and Hall Input for Commutation Signal
The voltage on the CF, VMIN pin and the internal triangle wave voltage controls the output PWM duty and therefore the speed of the motor.
When the CF voltage is smaller than VMIN voltage, the output PWM duty is generated by comparing the triangular voltage with CF. If the CF pin
voltage is higher than the VMIN pin, the speed is controlled by comparing the triangular voltage with VMIN voltage. When the PWM voltage is
lower than the low side of the triangular voltage, the motor will run at full speed. See “Speed Control and Minimum Speed Setting” figure.
An input DC voltage from 3.6V to 1.9V (for 12V supply) on the CF pin controls the output PWM duty from 0% to 100% thus allowing speed
control from 0% to 100% of the full speed. The DC voltage of CF can be adjusted by PWM input signal duty and the ambient temperature
sensed by the thermistor (resistive sensor) connected to RT pin.

Speed Control and Minimum Speed Setting
Minimum Speed Setting
The minimum speed setting prevents the motor speed dropping below a setting speed when the speed demand is too low (i.e. PWM voltage is
closer to 3.6V)
When the CF pin voltage is higher than the VMIN voltage, the VMIN voltage is compared with the internal triangular wave to generate the output
PWM duty. Therefore, setting the VMIN to certain fixed voltage forces the VMIN to control the speed even when the CF voltage is higher.
If VMIN setting is not used or application does not need to set the minimum speed, connect the VMIN to CF directly.
Rotor Lock Detect and OFF Tme Setting
The capacitor C4 from CT pin to the ground provides the timing for the lock detect and auto-restart. The capacitor C4 is charges and discharged by
the CT pin at a fixed rate depending on the mode of operation (fan operation status) and therefore the value of the C4 to gives lock-detect time
(TLCKDET) and lock time (TOFF) before next auto-start retry.
The AM4964 returns the C4 voltage to the low threshold, VCTL (1.77V), each time the Hall sensor provides the commutation signal. C4 is charged
with ICHG which is typically 2μA. If the voltage on the C4 reaches the high threshold, V CTH (3.7V) before the next Hall signal change, the output will
be shut down and the device will enter lock condition.

CHG
The thresholds voltage and charge current are fixed, therefore the tLCKDET time depends only on the value of C4.
C DET
For C4 of 0.47μF, tLCKDET is 0.47s.

Applications Note (cont.)
If lock detection causes device to enter output shutdown, the CT pin will discharge the C4 capacitor with I DHG provide tOFF period. The tOFF is the
time the device waits before next auto-restart. During tOFF period, the C4 is discharged for the high threshold, V CTH to low threshold VCTL at the
discharge current IDHG which is typically 0.2μA.

The thresholds voltage and discharge current are fixed, therefore the tOFF time depends only on the value of C4.
OFF
For CT of 0.4μs, tOFF is 4.7s before the next auto restart.
Thermal Shutdown
AM4964 includes a thermal shutdown function. When the device junction temperature is higher than +176ºC typical, the thermal shutdown
function is triggered and the low side output transistors in H bridge driver will be turned off. When the IC junction temperature drops below +148ºC
typical, the device will recover.
Status Output - FG Output
The FG output pin is an open collector output which switches ON (pulled low) and OFF (pulled high with an external resistor) depending on the
magnetic phase of the motor. The external pull up resistor should be connected to the FG pin.
The FG pin has series resistors of 25Ω typical integrated in the FG output structure to increased robustness against reverse supply connection of
the FG to ground. The typical value for external pull-up on FG is 10k.
