User Guide UG017 Functional Description This module is not a stand alone demonstration for a BLDC motor drive application. Instead, this module allows the user to quickly evaluate a 3-phase bridge application for the HIP2103 and HIP2104 using the customers controller interfaced with this module. For an example of a demonstration board that fully implements an on-board motor controller with the HIP2103 and HIP2104 drivers and bridge MOSFETs, please refer to: AN1899 “HIP2103/HIP2104, 3-phase, Full, or Half Bridge Motor Drive User’s Guide” (HIP2103_4DEMO1Z). Included on this module are 6 MOSFETs configured as 3 half bridges. One half bridge is driven by the HIP2104 and the other two by the HIP2103s. Two LI and HI input pairs, two inputs per half bridge, are intended to be driven by an external controller of the users choice. Also, VCen and VDen enable inputs are available to control the VDD and VCC regulator outputs of the HIP2104. All boot capacitors and other necessary external parts are included in the module allowing the user to quickly apply this module to his motor drive applications with little or no changes to the module components or values. Figure 1 illustrates one common implementation of the 3-phase bridge module to drive a BLDC motor. The external controller is the customers choice. The external current monitor and limit circuits can be implemented to control the motor torque and/or to limit the maximum currents. The on-board LDOs of the HIP2104 (12VDD and 3.3VCC) can optionally be used to bias external circuits. The simplified schematic in Figure 2, illustrated the major functions of the 3-phase bridge module. Two HIP2103s and one HIP2104 half bridge drivers interface with the six 3-phase bridge MOSFETs. The MA, MB and MC outputs of the 3-phase bridge MOSFETs are the power connections to the motor. GA, GB and GC are the power ground connections of each half bridge section (the low-side bridge MOSFET sources).

SIMPLIFIED 3-PHASE BRIDGE SCHEMATIC Input Signals All inputs to the HIP2103, HIP2104 drivers are compatible with 5V or 3.3V controllers. The VDen and VCen inputs (enables for VDD and VCC) are tolerant of voltages up to VBAT. All other inputs (LI and HI) are tolerant of voltages up to VDD. Figure 1 shows six outputs from the external controller providing LI and HI inputs to the HIP2103s and HIP2104. Two inputs, VCen from the controller and VDen from an external switch, control the VCC and VDD LDOs of the HIP2104. Optionally, both VDen and VCen can be connected to the external switch or both can be connected to the external controller. LDOS of the HIP2104 The HIP2104 (red) provides the 3.3VCC bias for the controller and the 12VDD bias for itself and for the two HIP2103s (blue and green). The VCC and VDD outputs can also be used for circuits external to the module. The total rated current of the VCC output, 75mA at 3.3V, is available for external circuits. The maximum available VDD current is also 75mA but is reduced by the average current for the HIP2103, HIP2104 drivers. For a typical BLDC motor drive, for every 60° rotation, one half bridge is switching at the PWM frequency, a second half bridge is not switching but the low MOSFET is constantly on and the outputs of the third bridge are both off. Consequently, the calculation for the average gate drive for a BLDC motor driver is the current of only one half bridge. UG017.0 February 20, 2015 User Guide UG017 The internal VDD bias current of the drivers themselves are not significant when compared to the average gate drive current. 10 VGS - Gate-to-Source Voltage (V) ID = 20 A VDS = 20 V MOSFET Circuits 8 Series connected gate resistors on each bridge MOSFET are used to reduce the switching speed to help minimize EMI radiating from the power leads to the motor and to attenuate voltage transients on the PCB from parasitic inductance. The diodes in parallel with the MOSFET gate resistors are used to provide rapid turn off of the MOSFETs. The customer may change the resistor values, change the bridge MOSFETs or even remove the diodes to suit the customer’s application needs.

GATE CHARGE FOR THE SIR470DP BRIDGE MOSFETs Figure 3 is used to determine the gate charge of the bridge MOSFETs. VDD from the HIP2104 is nominally 12V. Extrapolating for 12 VGS and VDS = 30V, then QC = 120nC. Because two MOSFETs are being driven, the average current is doubled. Assuming PWM switching freq = 20kHz then: I gateavg = 2Q c freq = 4.8mA The available VDD current for external load, as calculated for this example is then ~70mA. The available current will be higher or lower primarily dependent on the PWM frequency used. Other applications may have higher total average gate drive current depending on the motor drive topology used, potentially two times higher. Vishay 60A, 40V MOSFETs, are used to minimize power dissipation. With sustained total motor currents of 60A, a heatsink with an insulator can be attached to the backside of the module, if necessary. Dead Time The HIP2103, HIP2104 drivers do not have internal dead-time features and must be provided by the external controller. A dead time of 200ns is sufficient for the original component values on the board. Changing the gate resistors or the bridge MOSFETs may require adjustments to the dead time. Sleep Mode The sleep mode current (a.k.a. quiescent current) of the HIP2103, HIP2104 is invoked by setting both the LI and HI inputs to each driver high simultaneously. See Figure 4 for details to enable and disable the sleep mode. Note that SLEEP is an internal state of the driver, not an I/O. Please refer to the HIP2103, HIP2104 datasheet for complete details.

SLEEP MODE TIMING DIAGRAMS Submit Document Feedback 3 UG017.0 February 20, 2015 User Guide UG017 Operating Range Although the maximum bridge voltage for the HIP2103 and the HIP2104 is 50V, the maximum operating voltage of the 3-phase bridge module is limited to 40VDC as established by the six SIR470DP bridge MOSFETs. Because the rDS(ON) (2.3mΩ) of these MOSFETs is very low and because most motor driver applications switch at relatively low frequencies, it is probable that no external heatsinking will be required for most applications. If necessary, a heatsink with an insulator can be installed on the PCB side opposite the bridge MOSFETs because no components are located in this area. PCB Layout Guidelines The AC performance of the HIP2103, HIP2104 depends significantly on the design of the PC board. This module is intended to be used as a prototyping tool. Its main purpose is to drive a BLDC motor but can be used in other applications where half bridge MOSFETS are driven by the HIP2103, HIP2104: • Avoid having a signal ground plane under a high amplitude dv/dt circuit. The parasitic capacitance of a ground plane, Cp, relative to the high amplitude dv/dt circuit will result in injected (Cp x dv/dt) currents into the signal ground paths. • Do power dissipation and voltage drop calculations of the power traces. Many PCB/CAD programs have built-in tools for calculation of trace resistance. The internet is also a good source for resistance calculators for PCB trace resistance. • Large power components (Power MOSFETs, Electrolytic caps, power resistors, etc.) have internal parasitic inductance, which cannot be eliminated. This must be accounted for in the PCB layout and circuit design. • If you simulate your circuits, consider including parasitic components especially parasitic inductance. EPAD Heatsinking Considerations • Understand where the switching power currents flow. The high amplitude di/dt currents of the driven power MOSFET will induce significant voltage transients on the associated traces. The EPAD of the HIP2103, HIP2104 is electrically connected to VSS through the IC substrate. The epad has two main functions: to provide a quiet signal ground and to provide heatsinking for the IC. The EPAD must be connected to a ground plane and switching currents from the driven MOSFETs should not pass through the ground plane under the IC. • Keep power loops as short as possible by paralleling the source and return traces. Figure 5 is a PCB layout example of how to use vias to remove heat from the IC through the EPAD. • Use planes where practical; they are usually more effective than parallel traces. For maximum heatsinking, it is recommended that a ground plane, connected to the EPAD, be added to both sides of the PCB. A via array, within the area of the EPAD, will conduct heat from the EPAD to the GND plane on the bottom layer. The number of vias and the size of the GND planes required for adequate heatsinking is determined by the power dissipated by the HIP2103, HIP2104, the air flow and the maximum temperature of the air around the IC. • Place the driver as close as possible to the driven power MOSFET. • Avoid paralleling high amplitude di/dt traces with low level signal lines. High di/dt will induce currents and consequently, noise voltages in the low level signal lines. • When practical, minimize impedances in low level signal circuits. Noise, magnetically induced on a 10kΩ resistor, is 10x larger than the noise on a 1kΩ resistor. • Be aware of magnetic fields emanating from motors and inductors. Gaps in the magnetic cores of these structures are especially bad for emitting flux. • If you must have traces close to magnetic devices, align the traces so that they are parallel to the flux lines to minimize coupling. • The use of low inductance components such as SMT resistors and SMT capacitors is highly recommended. • Use decoupling capacitors to reduce the influence of parasitic inductance in the VBAT, VDD and GND leads. To be effective, these capacitors must also have the shortest possible conduction paths. If vias are used, connect several paralleled vias to reduce the inductance of the vias. • It may be necessary to add resistance to dampen resonating parasitic circuits especially on LO and HO. If an external gate resistor is unacceptable, then the layout must be improved to minimize lead inductance. • Keep high dv/dt nodes away from low level circuits. Guard banding can be used to shunt away dv/dt injected currents from sensitive circuits. Submit Document Feedback 4 Note that a separate plane is added under the high-side drive circuits and is connected to HS. In a manner similar to the ground plane, the HS plane provides the lowest possible parasitic inductance for the HO/HS gate drive current loop.

TYPICAL PCB PATTERN FOR THERMAL VIAS UG017.0 February 20, 2015 User Guide UG017 Quick Start The HIP2103-4DEMO2Z board is 1.05x1.55 inches (26.67x 39.37mm). The only through-hole component is a 12-pin header with 0.1 inch centers. This header is the signal interface between the module and the external controller. The power lead connections between the battery and the motor are 0.076 inch plated through holes large enough for 14 AWG wire. A clear area of 0.75x1.55 inches on the non-component side of the PCB is available to mount a heatsink directly on the PCB (with insulator) should additional cooling be required. especially if the dead-time duration is not sufficient to prevent shoot-through. It is also good practice to use a regulated lab supply with adjustable current limit to help prevent damage during initial testing of the customers application. Configuration Test For the following test, the logic signals can be from any suitable source such as the user’s microcontroller or DSP or even a logic signal generator. It is also possible to test the 3-phase module standalone, removed from the user’s circuit. To confirm the configuration of the HIP2103-4DEMO2Z in the user’s custom circuit, disconnect any loads on MA, MB and MC then apply the following voltages and signals: • +BATT = 12...40V (as required by your circuit) • LI = HI = logic 0 • VCen = VDen = logic 1 Measure 3.3VDC on J1-4 (VCC) and 12VDC on J1-7 (VDD). Now apply the LI and HI signals of Figure 8 to each half bridge driver either simultaneously or one at a time. The period of these signals can also be adjusted as required by the user’s circuit. It is important to observed the 20µs start-up sequence as shown to ensure that the sleep mode is cleared. 20µs MINIMUM TO CLEAR SLEEP MODE FIGURE 6.

Similar waveforms will be observed on the other phases. FIGURE 7. HIP2103-4DEMO2Z BOTTOM VIEW Ensure that prior to start-up, that the motor leads are connected to MA, MB and MC and that the positive lead of the power source is connected to +BATT. The negative lead of the power source is connected to the users main board on the low side of the current sensing resistor(s). If no current sensing circuit is implemented (not wise), then GA, GB and GC must be connected to the negative output of the power source. There are no start-up sequence limitations for using this board. The HIP2103, HIP2104 have built-in methods to prevent start-up problems that could be associated with random start-up of the bias voltages. However, if +BATT voltage is not present, the LDO outputs cannot be active. 10V/DIV 5V/DIV 5V/DIV 10µs/DIV FIGURE 9.
