A1444 and A1445 Low-Voltage Full-Bridge Brushless DC Motor Driver with Hall Commutation, Externally Controlled Speed Regulation, Soft Switching, and Reverse Battery, Short Circuit, and Thermal Shutdown Protection Features and Benefits Description ▪ Low voltage operation: 1.8 to 4.2 V ▪ Externally controlled motor speed regulation ▪ Fast motor startup and braking function allows faster start-stop cycles ¯Ē ¯Ē ¯P̄¯ pins ▪ Reverse voltage protection on the VDD and S̄L̄ ▪ Output short circuit and thermal shutdown protection ▪ Soft switching algorithm for reduced audible switching noise and EMI interference ▪ Unidirectional operating mode results in motor rotation in only one direction ▪ Chopper stabilization reduces Hall signal offset drifts and results in increased signal accuracy over full operating temperature range ▪ Sleep mode pin allows device enable/disable for reducing average power consumption ▪ Antistall feature guarantees continuous rotation ▪ Single-chip solution for high reliability ▪ Miniature MLP/DFN package The A1444 and A1445 are full-bridge motor drivers designed to drive low-voltage brushless DC (BLDC) motors in applications that require rotor speed control and fast rotor start-stop cycles. A high density CMOS semiconductor process allows the integration of a Hall element, a full-bridge output driver, and PWM speed control logic into one monolithic IC. Commutation of the motor is achieved by use of a single Hall element to detect the rotational position of an alternating-pole ring magnet. Low-voltage design techniques have been employed to achieve full device functionality down to a VDD of 1.8 V. The voltage applied to the PDC pin is used to externally control the maximum speed of the motor by adjusting the PWM duty cycle of the output driver. Package: 6-contact MLP/DFN 1.5 mm × 2 mm. 0.40 mm maximum overall height (EW package) The A1444 and A1445 employ a soft switching algorithm to reduce audible switching noise and EMI interference. The externally controlled speed regulation and braking functions can be used to create motor designs requiring faster start-stop cycles. The A1444 and A1445 have different selectable internal PWM duty cycle options to accommodate a wide range of motor designs. Each device has a braking function enable pin that also includes a micropower sleep mode for battery management in portable electronic devices. This feature eliminates the requirement for a FET transistor to switch the device on and off. The devices are optimized for vibration motor applications that require fast start-stop cycles, such as in cellular phones, Approximate size Continued on the next page… Functional Block Diagram VDD Output Full Bridge Reverse Battery SLEEP 0.1 μF Power and Sleep Mode Control Active Braking Control Stall Detection Hall Element Q1 Q3 Drive Logic and Soft Switching Control VOUT1 VOUT2 Q2 Amp M Q4 Thermal Shutdown Protection PDC ESD PWM Control GND 1444-DS, Rev. 3 A1444 and A1445 Low-Voltage Full-Bridge Brushless DC Motor Driver with Hall Commutation, Externally Controlled Speed Regulation, Soft Switching, and Reverse Battery, Short Circuit, and Thermal Shutdown Protection Description (continued) pagers, and hand-held video game controllers. The devices can also be used for low-power fan motors rated at 5 V. This fully integrated single-chip solution provides enhanced reliability, including reverse battery protection and output short circuit protection.

As a result, the devices are ideal for use in applications requiring low audible switching noise and low EMI interference. Device Start-up Braking and Sleep Mode ¯Ē ¯Ē ¯P̄¯ pin accepts an external signal that enables braking The S̄L̄ and a sleep mode. During braking, the device reverses the polarity of the output bridge for a fixed time period, then the device enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the device current consumption gets reduced to an extremely low level, conserving battery power. Speed Control Antistall Algorithm If a stall condition occurs, the device will execute an antistall algorithm to restart the motor. The start-up behavior of the device output is determined by the applied magnetic field, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. When the rate of rotation exceeds the specified threshold, SROT(th) , the A1444/A1445 output bridge becomes controlled by an internally generated PWM signal. The duty cycle of the internal PWM signal regulates the maximum motor rpm. The PWM duty cycle, however, is user-selectable through the state of the PDC pin. The PWM duty cycle options are given in the Electrical Characteristics table.

In this case, the device is powered continuously and the average supply current would switch between low ¯Ē ¯Ē ¯P̄¯ pin. and high values depending on the state of the S̄L̄ Note that: Figure 2 illustrates an applications circuit where the device sup¯Ē ¯Ē ¯P̄¯ pin are connected together. When power is ply pin and S̄L̄ applied to the device, it enters enable mode and operates with high average supply current. • No external diode is required for reverse battery protection because the protection is fully integrated into the IC. • Thermal shutdown also is integrated to protect the device against inadvertent output shorts during manufacturing or testing. • In these figures, the PDC pin is tied to GND. Alternatively, the PDC pin could be tied to any of the voltage rails or left floating, which will determine the internal PWM duty cycle as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

Under certain combinations of peak conditions, reliable operation may require derating supplied power or improving the heat dissipation properties of the application. This section presents a procedure for correlating factors affecting operating TJ. (Thermal data is also available on the Allegro MicroSystems website.) The package thermal resistance, RθJA, is a figure of merit summarizing the ability of the application and the device to dissipate heat from the junction (die), through all paths to the ambient air. Its primary component is the effective thermal conductivity, K, of the printed circuit board, including adjacent devices and traces. Radiation from the die through the device case, RθJC, is relatively small component of RθJA. Ambient air temperature, TA, and air motion are significant external factors, damped by overmolding. The effect of varying power levels (Power Dissipation, PD), can be estimated. The following formulas represent the fundamental relationships used to estimate TJ, at various PD levels. PD = VIN × IIN (1) ΔT = PD × RθJA (2) TJ = TA + ΔT (3) For a load of 30 Ω, and given common conditions such as: TA= 25°C, VDD = 3 V, IDD = 85 mA, VLOAD = 2.43 V, ILOAD = 83 mA, and RθJA = 250 °C/W, then: PD = VDD × IDD – VLOAD × ILOAD = 3 V × 83 mA – 2.43 V × 81 mA = 52.17 mW ΔT = PD × RθJA = 52.17 mW × 250 °C/W = 13°C TJ = TA + ΔT = 25°C + 13°C = 38°C A worst-case estimate, PD(max), represents the maximum allowable power level, without exceeding TJ(max), at a selected RθJA and TA.
