Application note
EVAL6227QR demonstration board using a dual full-bridge L6227Q
for motor control applications
Introduction
This application note describes the demonstration board of the DMOS dual full-bridge
L6227Q designed for motor control applications. The board implements a typical application
that can be used as a reference design to drive two-phase bipolar stepper motors with
currents up to 1A DC, multiple DC motors and a wide range of inductive loads.
Thanks to the small footprint of the L6227Q (QFN 5 x 5 mm, 32-lead) the PCB is very
compact (27 x 32 mm).

The INx input pins drive the corresponding half-bridge. When low logic level is applied, the
low side MOS is switched on, whereas a high logic level turns on the high side MOS.
To perform the PWM current control an analog reference voltage should be provided to each
channel of the driver. A fixed reference voltage can be easily obtained through a resistive
divider from an external voltage rail and GND (can be the one supplying the microcontroller
or the rest of the application).
Otherwise a very simple way to obtain a variable voltage without using a DAC is to low-pass
filter a PWM output of a microcontroller.
Table 2 summarizes the electrical specification of the application and Figure 3 shows the
electrical schematic.

Dual full-bridge in VFQFPN5x5
D1, C1 and C3 constitute a charge pump circuit, which generates the supply voltage for the
high-side integrated MOSFETs. Due to voltage and current switching at relatively high
frequency, these components are connected through short paths in order to minimize
induced noise on other circuitries.
R1, R2 and C5, C6 are used by the overcurrent protection integrated circuitry (disable time
tDISABLE is about 200 µs and delay time tDELAY about 1 µs using the values in Table 3).
R5, C7 and R6, C10 are used to set the off-time tOFF of the two PWM channels at about 50
µs. The off-time should be adjusted according to the motor electrical characteristics and
supply voltage by changing R5, C7 and R6, C10 values.
R11, R12, C8 and R13, R14, C9 are low-pass filters which provide an external reference
voltage through a PWM output of a microcontroller.
Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the placement of the components and the layout of the
two layers of the EVAL6227QR demonstration board. A GND area has been used to
improve the IC power dissipation.
