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).

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.

The internal VDD bias current of the drivers themselves are not
significant when compared to the average gate drive current.

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
FIGURE 3. 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.

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.

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.
See the PCB layout illustrations at the end of this user guide for
examples of how these guidelines for PCB layout and EPAD
heatsinking are applied to the HIP2103-4DEMO2Z 3-phase
bridge module.

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.

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.

If the MA, MB, or MC outputs are not switching when the
corresponding the LI and HI inputs are active, the most likely
explanation is that the drive is in sleep mode. Please refer to
Figure 4 for the correct sequence to turn off or turn on the sleep
mode.
PCB Design Files
Layer 2, Layer 3 and the Bottom layer are identical. Layers 2 and
3 are provided to minimize conduction losses and to improve the
thermal transfer of heat from the bridge MOSFETs to the bottom
layer (on which a heatsink can be attached). If this PCB layout is
used as a reference for a custom PCB, it is possible that layers
two and three layers can be deleted for applications with lower
sustained maximum current or with significant air flow.
