With a maximum junction temperature of 200°C, Atmel ATA6824C is suitable for applications with an ambient temperature up to 150°C. The IC includes 4 driver stages to control 4 external power MOSFETs. An external microcontroller provides the direction signal and the PWM frequency. In PWM operation, the high-side switches are permanently on while the low-side switches are activated by the PWM frequency. Atmel ATA6824C contains a voltage regulator to supply the microcontroller; via the input pin VMODE the output voltage can be set to 5V or 3.3V respectively. The on-chip window watchdog timer provides a pin-programmable time window. The watchdog is internally trimmed to an accuracy of 10%. For communication a high voltage serial interface with a maximum data range of 20kBaud is integrated. 9212G-AUTO-09/13 Figure 1.

Application 3.1 General Remark This chapter describes the principal application for which the Atmel® ATA6824C was designed.

Functional Description 4.1 Power Supply Unit with Supervisor Functions 4.1.1 Power Supply 50% The IC is supplied by a reverse-protected battery voltage. To prevent it from destruction, proper external protection circuitry has to be added. It is recommended to use at least a capacitor combination of storage and HF caps behind the reverse protection circuitry and closed to the VBAT pin of the IC (see Figure 1 on page 2). An internal low-power and low drop regulator (VINT), stabilized by an external blocking capacitor, provides the necessary lowvoltage supply for all internal blocks except the digital IO pins. This voltage is also needed in the wake-up process. The lowpower band gap reference is trimmed and is used for the bigger VCC regulator, too. All internal blocks are supplied by the internal regulator. The internal supply voltage VINT must not be used for any other supply purpose! Nothing inside the IC except the logic interface to the microcontroller is supplied by the 5V/3.3V VCC regulator. A power-good comparator checks the output voltage of the VINT regulator and keeps the whole chip in reset as long as the voltage is too low. There is a high-voltage switch which brings out the battery voltage to the pin VBATSW for measurement purposes. This switch is switched ON for VCC = HIGH and stays ON in case of a watchdog reset. The signal can be used to switch on external voltage regulators, etc. ATA6824C [DATASHEET] 9212G–AUTO–09/13 5 4.1.2 Voltage Supervisor This block is intended to protect the IC and the external power MOS transistors against overvoltage on battery level and to manage undervoltage on it. Function: in case of both overvoltage alarm (VTHOV) and of undervoltage alarm (VTHUV) the external NMOS motor bridge transistors will be switched off. The failure state will be flagged via DG2. No other actions will be carried out. The undervoltage comparator is connected to the pin VBAT while the overvoltage comparator is connected to pin PBAT. Both are filtered by a first-order low pass with a corner frequency of typical 15kHz. 4.1.3 Temperature Supervisor There is a temperature sensor integrated on-chip to prevent the IC from overheating due to a failure in the external circuitry and to protect the external NMOSFET transistors. In case of detected overtemperature (180°C), the diagnostic pin DG3 will be switched to “H” to signalize overtemperature warning to the microcontroller. It should undertake actions to reduce the power dissipation in the IC. In case of detected overtemperature (200°C), the VCC regulator and all drivers including the serial interface will be switched OFF immediately and /RESET will go LOW. Both temperature thresholds are correlated. The absolute tolerance is ±15K and there is a built-in hysteresis of about 10K to avoid fast oscillations. After cooling down below the 170°C threshold; the IC will go into Active mode. The occurrence of overtemperature shutdown is latched in DG3. DG3 stays on high until first WD trigger. 4.2 5V/3.3V VCC Regulator The 5V/3.3V regulator is fully integrated on-chip. It requires only a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor for stability and has 100 mA current capability. Using the VMODE pin, the output voltage can be selected to either 5V or 3.3V. Switching of the output voltage during operation is not intended to be supported. The VMODE pin must be hard-wired to either VINT for 5V or to GND for 3.3V. The logic HIGH level of the microcontroller interface will be adapted to the VCC regulator voltage. The output voltage accuracy is in general < ±3%; in the 5V mode with VVBAT < 9V it is limited to < 5%. To prevent destruction of the IC, the current delivered by the regulator is limited to maximum 100mA to 350mA. The delivered voltage will break down and a reset may occur. Please note that this regulator is the main heat source on the chip. The maximum output current at maximum battery voltage and high ambient temperature can only guaranteed if the IC is mounted on an efficient heat sink. A power-good comparator checks the output voltage of the VCC regulator and keeps the external microcontroller in reset as long as the voltage is too low. Figure 4-1.

Its period TOSC is adjustable via the external resistor RWD. The watchdog expects a triggering signal (a rising edge) from the microcontroller at the WD input within a period time window of TWD. Figure 4-3. Timing Diagram of the Watchdog Function tres tresshort /RESET td td t1 t2 t1 t2 WD ATA6824C [DATASHEET] 9212G–AUTO–09/13 7 4.3.1 Timing Sequence For example, with an external resistor RWD = 33 k ±1% we get the following typical parameters of the watchdog. TOSC = 12.32µs, t1 = 12.1ms, t2 = 9.61ms, TWD = 16.88ms ±10% The times tres = 70ms and td = 70ms are fixed values with a tolerance of 10%. After ramp-up of the battery voltage (power-on reset), the VCC regulator is switched on. The reset output, /RESET, stays low for the time tres, then switches to high. For an initial lead time td (for setups in the controller) the watchdog waits for a rising edge on WD to start its normal window watchdog sequence. If no rising edge is detected, the watchdog will reset the microcontroller for tres and wait td for the rising edge on WD. Times t1 (close window) and t2 (open window) form the window watchdog sequence. To avoid receiving a reset from the watchdog, the triggering signal from the microcontroller must hit the timeframe of t2 = 9.61ms. The trigger event will restart the watchdog sequence. Figure 4-4. TWD versus RWD 60 TWD (ms) 50 typ max 40 30 min 20 10 0 0 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 RWD (kΩ) If triggering fails, /RESET will be pulled to ground for a shortened reset time of typically 2ms. The watchdog start sequence is similar to the power-on reset. The internal oscillator is trimmed to a tolerance of < ±10%. This means that t1 and t2 can also vary by ±10%. The following calculation shows the worst case calculation of the watchdog period Twd which the microcontroller has to provide. t1min = 0.90 t1 = 10.87ms, t1max = 1.10 t1 = 13.28ms t2min = 0.90 t2 = 8.65ms, t2max = 1.10 t2 = 10.57ms Twdmax = t1min + t2min = 10.87ms + 8.65ms = 19.52ms Twdmin = t1max = 13.28ms Twd = 16.42ms ±3.15ms (±19.1%) Figure 4-4 on page 8 shows the typical watchdog period TWD depending on the value of the external resistor ROSC. A reset will be active for VCC < VtHRESx; the level VtHRESx is realized with a hysteresis (HYSRESth). 8 ATA6824C [DATASHEET] 9212G–AUTO–09/13 4.4 High Voltage Serial Interface A bi-directional bus interface is implemented for data transfer between hostcontroller and the local microcontroller (SIO). The transceiver consists of a low side driver (1.2V at 40mA) with slew rate control, wave shaping, current limitation, and a high-voltage comparator followed by a debouncing unit in the receiver. 4.4.1 Transmit Mode During transmission, the data at the pin TX will be transferred to the bus driver to generate a bus signal on pin SIO. The pin TX has a pull-down resistor included. To minimize the electromagnetic emission of the bus line, the bus driver has an integrated slew rate control and waveshaping unit. In transmit mode, transmission will be interrupted in case of overheating at the SIO driver. 4.4.2 Reset Mode In case of an active reset shown at pin /RESET the pin SIO is switched to low, independent of the temperature. The maximum current is limited to ISIO_LIM_RESET. Figure 4-5. Definition of Bus Timing Parameters tBit tBit tBit TX (input to transmitting Node) tSIO_dom(max) tSIO_rec(min) Thresholds of receiving node 1 THRec(max) VVBAT (Transceiver supply of transmitting node) THDom(max) SIO Signal Thresholds of receiving node 2 THRec(min) THDom(min) tSIO_dom(min) tSIO_rec(max) RX (output of receiving Node 1) trx_pdf(1) trx_pdr(1) RX (output of receiving Node 2) trx_pdr(2) trx_pdf(2) The recessive BUS level is generated from the integrated 30 k pull-up resistor in series with an active diode. This diode prevents the reverse current of VBUS during differential voltage between VSUP and BUS (VBUS > VSUP).

An internal pull-down resistor is included. 4.5.2 Pin PWM Logical input for PWM information delivered by external microcontroller. Duty cycle and frequency at this pin are passed through to the H-bridge. An internal pull-down resistor is included. Table 4-1.

In order to avoid cross current through the bridge, a cross conduction timer is implemented. Its time constant is programmable by means of an RC combination. Table 4-2.

Its output voltage will be used as one input for the charge pump, which generates the gate voltage for the high-side driver. The purpose of the regulator is to limit the gate voltage for the external power MOS transistors to 12V. It needs a ceramic capacitor of 470nF for stability. The output voltage is reduced if the supply voltage at VBAT falls below 12V. 4.7 Charge Pump The integrated charge pump is needed to supply the gates of the external power MOS transistors. It needs a shuffle capacitor of 220nF and a reservoir capacitor of 470nF. Without load, the output voltage on the reservoir capacitor is VVBAT plus VG. The charge pump is clocked with a dedicated internal oscillator of 100KHz. The charge pump is designed to reach a good EMC level. The charge pump will be switched off for VVBAT > VTHOV. 4.8 Thermal Shutdown There is a thermal shutdown block implemented. With rising junction temperature, a first warning level will be reached at 180°C. At this point the IC stays fully functional and a warning will be sent to the microcontroller. At junction temperature 200°C the drivers for H1, H2, L1, L2, SIO and the VCC regulator will be switched off and a reset occurs. 4.9 H-bridge Driver The IC includes two push-pull drivers for control of two external power NMOS used as high-side drivers and two push-pull drivers for control of two external power NMOS used as low-side drivers. The drivers are able to be used with standard and logic-level power NMOS. The drivers for the high-side control use the charge pump voltage to supply the gates with a voltage of VG above the battery voltage level. The low-side drivers are supplied by VG directly. It is possible to control the external load (motor) in the forward and reverse direction (see Table 4-1 on page 10). The duty cycle of the PMW controls the speed. A duty cycle of 100% is possible in both directions. 4.9.1 Cross Conduction Time To prevent high peak currents in the H-bridge, a non-overlapping phase for switching the external power NMOS is realized. An external RC combination defines the cross conduction time in the following way: tCC (µs) = 0.41 RCC (k) CCC (nF) (tolerance: ±5% ±0.15µs) The RC combination is charged to 5V and the switching level of the internal comparator is 67% of the start level. The resistor RCC must be greater than 5k and should be as close as possible to 10k, the CCC value has to be ≤ 5nF. Use of COG capacitor material is recommended. The time measurement is triggered by the PWM or DIR signal crossing the 50% level. ATA6824C [DATASHEET] 9212G–AUTO–09/13 11 Figure 4-6.

If the transistors are switched ON and the source-drain voltage difference is higher than the value VSC (4V with tolerances) the diagnosis pin DG1 will be set to ‘H’ and the drivers will be switched off. All gate driver outputs (Hx and Lx) will be set to ‘L’. Releasing the gate driver outputs will set DG1 back to ‘L’. With the next transition on the pin PWM, the corresponding drivers, depending on the DIR pin, will be switched on again. There is a PBAT supervision block implemented to detect the possible voltage drop on PBAT during a short circuit. If the voltage at PBAT falls under VPBAT_OK the drivers will be switched off and DG1 will be set to “H”. It will be cleared as soon as the PBAT undervoltage condition disappears. The detection of drain source voltage exceedances is activated after the short circuit blanking time tSC, the short circuit detection of PBAT failures operates immediately. 12 ATA6824C [DATASHEET] 9212G–AUTO–09/13 5.
