NCV70514
Micro-stepping Motor Driver
Description
The NCV70514 is a micro−stepping stepper motor driver for bipolar
stepper motors. The chip is connected through I/O pins and an SPI
interface with an external microcontroller. The NCV70514 contains
a current−translation table and takes the next micro−step depending on
the clock signal on the “NXT” input pin and the status of the “DIR”
(= direction) register or input pin. The chip provides an error message
if stall, an electrical error, an under−voltage or an elevated junction
temperature is detected. It is using a proprietary PWM algorithm
for reliable current control.
NCV70514 is fully compatible with the automotive voltage
requirements and is ideally suited for general−purpose stepper motor
applications in the automotive, industrial, medical, and marine
environment.
Due to the technology, the device is especially suited for use
in applications with fluctuating battery supplies.

1. Low ESR < 4 W, mounted as close as possible to the NCV70514. Total decoupling capacitance value has to be chosen properly to reduce
the supply voltage ripple and to avoid EM emission.
2. C2 and C3 must be close to pins VBB and coupled GND directly.
3. C4 must be a ceramic capacitor to assure low ESR.
4. Optional capacitors for improvement of EMC and system ESD performance. The slope times on motor pins can be longer than specified
in the AC table.
5. Value depends on characteristics of mC inputs for DO and ERRB signals.

PACKAGE THERMAL CHARACTERISTIC
The NCV70514 is available in thermally optimized
QFN32 5x5 package. For the optimizations, the package has
an exposed thermal pad which has to be soldered to the PCB
ground plane. The ground plane needs thermal vias to
conduct the heat to the bottom layer.
For precise thermal cooling calculations the major
thermal resistances of the devices are given. The thermal
media to which the power of the devices has to be given are:
• Static environmental air (via the case)
exposed pad)
The major thermal resistances of the device are the Rth
from the junction to the ambient (Rthja) and the Rth from the
junction to the exposed pad (Rthjp).
Using an exposed die pad on the bottom surface of the
package is mainly contributing to this performance. In order
to take full advantage of the exposed pad, it is most
important that the PCB has features to conduct heat away
from the package. In the table below, one can find the values
for the Rthja and Rthjp:

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
H−Bridge Drivers with PWM Control
In order to reduce the radiated/conducted emission,
voltage slope control is implemented in the output switches.
Two bits in SPI control register 3 allow adjustment of the
voltage slopes.
A protection against shorts on motor lines is implemented.
When excessive voltage is sensed across a MOSFET for a
time longer than the required transition time, then the
MOSFET is switched−off.
Two H−bridges are integrated to drive a bipolar stepper
motor. Each H−bridge consists of two low−side N−type
MOSFET switches and two high−side P−type MOSFET
switches. One PWM current control loop with on−chip
current sensing is implemented for each H−bridge.
Depending on the desired current range and the micro−step
position at hand, the RDS(on) of the low−side transistors will
be adapted to maintain current−sense accuracy. A
comparator compares continuously the actual winding
current with the requested current and feeds back the
information to generate a PWM signal, which turns on/off
the H−bridge switches. The switching points of the PWM
duty−cycle are synchronized to the on−chip PWM clock. For
each output bridge the PWM duty cycle is measured and
stored in two appropriate status registers of the motor
controller.
The PWM frequency will not vary with changes in the
supply voltage. Also variations in motor−speed or load−
conditions of the motor have no effect. There are no external
components required to adjust the PWM frequency. In order
to avoid large currents through the H−bridge switches, it is
guaranteed that the top− and bottom−switches of the same
half−bridge are never conductive simultaneously (interlock
delay).
Motor Enable−Disable
The H−bridges and PWM control can be disabled
(high−impedance state) by means of a bit <MOTEN> in the
SPI control registers. <MOTEN>=0 will only disable the
drivers and will not impact the functions of NXT, DIR,
RHB, SPI bus, etc. The H−bridges will resume normal PWM
operation by writing <MOTEN>=1 in the SPI register.
PWM current control is then enabled again and will regulate
current in both coils corresponding with the position given
by the current translator.
Automatic Forward and Slow−Fast Decay
The PWM generation is in steady−state using a
combination of forward and slow−decay. For transition to
lower current levels, fast−decay is automatically activated to
allow high−speed response. The selection of fast or slow
decay is completely transparent for the user and no
additional parameters are required for operation.

PWM Duty Cycle Measurement
For both motor windings the actual PWM duty cycle is
measured and stored in two status registers. The duty cycle
values are a representation of the applied average voltage to
the motor windings to achieve and maintain the actual set
point current. Figure 8 gives an example of the duty cycle
representation.

completely automatic and requires no additional parameters
for operation. The state of the duty cycle adaptation mode is
represented in the T/B bits of the appropriate status registers
for both motor windings X and Y. Figure 9 gives a
representation of the duty cycle adaptation.
If during regulation the set point current is not reached
before 75% of tpwm, the duty cycle of the PWM is adapted
automatically to > 50% (top regulation) to maintain the
requested average current in the coils. This process is

Step Mode
position are set to “0”. This means that the position in the
current table moves to the right and in the case that
micro−step position of desired new resolution does not
overlap the micro−step position of current resolution, the
closest value up or down in required column is set depending
on the direction of rotation.
When the micro−step resolution is increased, then the
corresponding least−significant bits of the translator
position are added as “0”: the micro−step position moves to
the left on the same row.
In general any change of <SM[2:0]> SPI bits or STEP0
and STEP1 pins have no effect on current micro−step
position without consequent occurrence of NXT pulse or
<NXTP> SPI command. (see NXT input timing below).
When NXT pulse or <NXTP> SPI command arrives, the
motor moves into next micro−step position according to the
current <SM[2:0]> SPI bits value and STEP0, STEP1 pins
level set.
The step translator provides the control of the motor
by means of SPI register step mode: SM[2:0], SPI bits DIRP,
RHBP and input pins STEP0, STEP1, DIR (direction of
rotation), RHB (run/hold of motor) and NXT (next pulse).
It is translating consecutive steps in corresponding currents
in both motor coils for a given step mode.
One out of seven possible stepping modes can be selected
through SPI−bits SM[2:0] and pins STEP0, STEP1. Device
takes the value from SPI−bits SM[2:0] and increases
StepMode value with adding binary information from
STEP0, STEP1 pins. After power−on or hard reset, the
coil−current translator is set to the default to 1/32
micro−stepping at position ‘16*’. When remaining in the
default step mode, subsequent translator positions are all in
the same column and increased or decreased with 1. Table 9
lists the output current versus the translator position.
When the micro−step resolution is reduced, then the
corresponding least−significant bits of the translator

modes. Changing from one full step mode to another full
step mode will always result in a “45deg step−back or
forward” depending on the DIR bit. For example: in the
table below, when changing full step mode (positioner is on
a particular row and full step column), then the new full step
location will be one row above or below in the adjacent “full
step column”. The step−back and forward is executed after
the NXT pulse.
Besides the micro−step modes listed above, also two full
step modes are implemented. Full step mode 1 activates
always only one coil at a time, whereas mode 2 always keeps
2 coils active. The table below lists the output current versus
the translator positions for these cases and Figure 10 shows
the projection on a square.
Changing between micro−step mode and full step modes
follows a similar scheme as changes between micro−step

Translator Position
Positive direction of rotation means counter−clockwise
rotation of electrical vector Ix + Iy. Also when the motor is
disabled (<MOTEN>=0), both the DIR pin and <DIRP>
will have an effect on the positioner. The logic state of the
DIR pin is visible as a flag in SPI status register.
The translator position can be read in the SPI register
<MSP[6:0]>. This is a 7−bit number equivalent to the 1/32th
micro−step from : Circular Translator Table. The translator
position is updated immediately following a next
micro−step trigger (see below).
Next Micro−Step Trigger
Positive edges on the NXT input − or activation of the
“NXT pushbutton” <NXTP> in the SPI input register − will
move the motor current one step up/down in the translator
table. The <NXTP> bit in SPI is used to move positioner one
(micro−)step by means of only SPI commands. If the bit is
set to “1”, it is reset automatically to “0” after having
advanced the positioner with one micro−step.

DIR and its “polarity bit” <DIRP> (SPI register). The
polarity bit <DIRP> allows changing the direction of
rotation by means of only SPI commands instead of the
dedicated input pin.
• Also when the motor is disabled (<MOTEN>=0),
•
Direction = DIR−pin EXOR <DIRP>
NXT/DIR/RHB functions will move the positioner
according to the logic.
In order to be sure that both the NXT pin and the
<NXTP> SPI command are individually attended, the
following non overlapping zone has to be respected.
In this case it is guaranteed that both triggers will have
effect (2 steps are taken).

For control by means of I/O’s, the NXT pin operation with
respect to DIR, STEP0 and STEP1 pins should be in a
non−overlapped way. See also the timing diagram below
(refer to the AC table for the timing values). The STEP0 and
STEP1 pins or <SM[2:0]> SPI bits setting, when changed,
is accepted upon the consequent either NXT pin rising edge
through based on the “NXT & DIR” commands. The
amplitude of the motor current (=Imax) is set by SPI
control register <IRUN[3:0]>.
• In “Hold mode”, NXT & DIR will have no effect and
the position in the current translator table is maintained.
The motor current amplitude is set by SPI control
register <IHOLD[3:0]>.
By setting bit <Iboost> in NCV70514MW007 device in
SPI Control register 4A, the current table will be changed
from 800 mA peak current range to 1.1 A peak current range.
All currents will scale proportionally according to the
following table. The boost function can be activated at
temperatures below thermal warning temperature TW. Above
thermal warning temperature TW, the boost function is
automatically disabled and current is decreased to unboosted
level. Status of the boost function can be read in SPI <Iboost>
bit. Thermal profile and mission profile must be checked by
ON Semiconductor to guarantee the reliability.
The run and hold current settings correspond to the
following current levels:

Whenever <IRUN[3:0]> or <IHOLD[3:0]> is changed, the
new coil currents will be updated immediately at the next
PWM period.
In case the motor is disabled (<MOTEN>=0), the logic is
functional and both RHB pin and <RHBP> bit will have
effect on NXT/DIR operation (not on the H−bridges). When
the chip is in sleep mode, the logic is not functional and as
a result, the RHB pin will have no effect.
The logic state of the RHB pin is visible as a flag in SPI
status register.
Note: The hard−reset function is embedded in the “Hold
mode” by means of a special sequence on the DIR pin, see
also Hard−Reset Function chapter.
Table 12. UV1/2 THRESHOLDS SETTINGS (4BIT)
Under−voltage Detection
The NCV70514 has three UV threshold levels. Two
higher threshold levels are programmable over SPI register
UVxThr, third threshold level is fixed.
Each UV level has its own flag readable via SPI and can
create interrupt to microcontroller when dedicated bit of
interrupt enable register is set.
All interrupt sources UV’s, BEMF, etc. are grouped
into single interrupt line (pin) ERRB.
When supply voltage VBB drops under dedicated UVx
level, several actions are performed.
• UV1 level – no action inside device regarding to
H−bridges – only when UV1IntEn interrupt enable bit
is set, ERRB pin is pulled down. Microcontroller needs
to do action like Soft stop, etc based on this interrupt.
• UV2 level – when UV2IntEn interrupt enable bit is set,
ERRB pin is pulled down. When UV2MIntEn interrupt
enable bit is set, the ERRB pin is pulled down in the
moment NXP pulse comes, the device then stops
executing NXT pulses and starts counting them in Step
loss counter <Sl[6:0]>.
• UV3 level – device each time disables H−Bridge
drivers (<MOTEN> = 0). When UV3IntEn interrupt
enable bit is set, ERRB pin is pulled down. When
UV3MIntEn interrupt enable bit is set, the ERRB pin is
pulled down in the moment NXP pulse comes, the
device then stops executing NXT pulses and starts
counting them in Step loss counter <Sl[6:0]>.

Stall and Motion Detection
Motion detection is based on the Back Electromotive
Force (BEMF or back emf) generated into the running
motor. When the motor is blocked, e.g. when it hits the
end−position, the velocity and as a result also the generated
back emf, is disturbed. The NCV70514 measures the back
emf during the current zero crossing phase and makes it
available in the SPI status register 4. The back emf voltage
is measured several times in each PWM cycle during zero
crossing phase. Samples taken during PWM ON phase of the
switches in the second coil are discarded not to add noise to
measurement (see Figure 14). Results are then converted
into a 5−bits word <Bemf[4:0]> with the following formula:
BEMF_code(dec) +
ǒǓ
5
V_MOT_XorY_diff(V) @ Gain @ 5 @ 2
4 2.41
When the result is ready, it is indicated by <BemfRes> bit
in status register.
When using normal mode of back emf measurement
(<EnhBemfEn> = 0), last sample before end of current zero
crossing phase becomes available in <Bemf[4:0]> register
(see the red circle on Figure 14).
When the enhanced back emf measurement mode is set by
<EnhBemfEn> bit, all non discarded results are
continuously available in <Bemf[4:0]> register (see red and
all black circles on Figure 14). This allows microcontroller
Only if the <UV3>=0 the motor can be enabled again
by writing <MOTEN>=1 in the control register 1.
Note: The change of DIR and step mode will not be taken
into account in Step loss counter.
Step loss register range is 7 bits => 0 to 127 NXT pulses, no
overflow, keeping the counter at maximum value of 127 if
more than 127 NXT pulses are received.

stall bit cleared, the chip reacts on “Next Micro−step
Triggers” only after direction has changed its state at least
once.
An additional feature of the NCV70514 is the detection of
uncontrolled motion during Hold. If the stall detection is
enabled and the hold position is at full steps (full step mode1,
0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) with only excitation of one coil, the
NCV70514 is checking upon back emf voltages higher than
or equal to the <StThr[3:0]> threshold. If this voltage is
detected, it indicates there is a motor movement. The stall bit
in the SPI register is set and the ERRB pin is pulled down.
The motion detection during hold does not work for IHold
0 A.
Notes:
1. Used stall detection is covered by patent US
8,058,894B2
2. As the stall threshold register <StThr[3:0]> is 4
bits wide, the 4 MSBs of 5−bit <Bemf[4:0]>
register are taken for comparison.
Stall detection and Bemf measurement are performed
only when Speed register value <Sp[7:0]> is less than or
equal to Speed threshold register value <SpThr[7:0]>.
Range and resolution of Speed register and Speed
threshold register are 0 to 5100 ms and 20 ms/digit for half
stepping mode. Accuracy of speed (time) measurement is
given by the accuracy of the internal oscillator.
If measured back emf voltage has not expected polarity,
the back emf sign flag <Bemfs> is set. Motor pin, where
lower voltage is expected, is tied to GND by pull down
current. Sign is determined by comparator, which compares
the polarity of voltage measured over the coil with expected
polarity of voltage.

Figure 14. Back emf Sampling
For slow speed or when a motion ends at a full step
position (there is an absence of next NXT trigger), the end
of the zero crossing is taking too long or is non−existing. In
this case, the back emf voltage is taken the latest at “stall
time−out” time and this value is used also for comparison
with <StThr[3:0]> stall threshold to detect stall situation in
run mode or movement in hold mode. The “stall time−out”
is set in SPI by means of <StTo[7:0]> register and is
expressed in counts of 4/fpwm (See AC Table), roughly
in steps of 0.2 ms. If <StTo[7:0]> = 0, time−out is not
active.
At the end of the current zero crossing phase the internal
circuitry compares measured back emf voltages with
<StThr[3:0]> register, which determines threshold for stall
detection. The last sample of back emf taken before end
of zero crossing phase is used for stall detection in normal
mode as well as in enhanced back emf mode. When
<StThr[3:0]> = 0 then stall detection is disabled. When
value of <StThr[3:0]> is different from 0 and measured back
emf signal is lower than <StThr[3:0]> threshold for 2
succeeding coil current zero−crossings (including both X
and Y coil), then the <STALL> bit in SPI status register 1 is
set, the current translator table goes 135 degrees in opposite
direction and the ERRB pin is pulled down, Irun is
maintained. The stall bit is cleared by reading the status
register 1, also the ERRB pin becomes inactive again. With

The auto−diagnostic is executed after each power up, or
when enabling the H−bridge (<MOTEN>=0 →
<MOTEN>=1) in case the <DIAGEN> bit would be
programmed to one (see SPI table, control register 0x03, bit 6).
During the auto−diagnostic sequence, the device makes
use of internal pull−ups and pull−downs (see Figure 16) to
test the connections at the XP, XN, YP, YN pins with weak
currents. This mechanism guarantees a very wide coverage;
however, some conditions are reported as multiple failure
source detections. This is due to the impossibility to discern
between the two cases from electrical point of view. Details
of failures combination coverage by the automatic
diagnostic for the X coil are shown in Figure 14. The same
is applicable for Y coil.
Any short circuit detection disables the output H−bridges
(<MOTEN> = 0) and does not allow the device
to automatically proceed to “normal mode”. To permit
entering normal mode, the registers involved must be
cleared out by SPI reading and the error condition removed
prior enabling again the outputs (<MOTEN> set to “1”).
The dead time for automatic diagnostic routine is
2 ms (*). The automatic diagnostic is interrupted when the
supply voltage drops below UV3 level.
Note: (*): For a controlled start of the automatic diagnostics,
the user has to place the motor driver in high impedance state
by setting the <MOTEN> bit to ‘0’. After setting the
<MOTEN> bit to ‘1’, there is a need for an additional delay
time. This is needed for recirculation of the motor current.
An average time of approximately 2 ms is needed. This time
has to be taken into account by the user.
Warning, Error Detection and Diagnostics
Feedback
Open & Short Circuit Diagnostic
The NCV70514 stepper driver features an enhanced
diagnostic detection and feedback, to be read by the external
microcontroller unit (MCU). Among the main items of
interest for the application and typical failures, are open coil
and the short circuit condition, which may be to ground
(chassis), or to supply (battery line).
To serve this purpose two diagnostic modes are available
in the device. The first is called “Automatic Diagnostic” and
is executed after each power−up sequence. In addition, by a
specific bit setting, it can be enabled after any output
(H−bridge) activation. The other mode is defined as “User
Diagnostic” or “Normal Mode Diagnostic” and consists in
applying activation sequences directly from the MCU and
read back the consequent status via the proper device
registers.

H−bridges are disabled (<MOTEN>=0) in case of Open coil
detection. When <OpenDis> bit is set, drivers remain active
for both coils independently of <OpenHiZ> bit.
The short circuit detection monitors the load current in
each activated output stage. The current is measured in terms
of voltage drop over the MOSFETS’ RDS(ON). If the load
current exceeds the over−current detection threshold, then
the over−current flag <SHORT> is set and the drivers are
switched off to protect the integrated circuit. Each driver
stage has an individual detection bit for the N side and the
P side.
When short circuit is detected, <MOTEN> is set to 0. The
positioner, the NXT, RHB, STEP0, STEP1 and DIR stay
operational. The flag <SHORT> (result of OR−ing the
latched flags: <SHRTXPT> OR <SHRTXPB> OR
<SHRTXNT> OR <SHRTYXNB> OR <SHRTYPT> OR
<SHRTYPB> OR <SHRTYNT> OR <SHRTYNB>) is reset
when the microcontroller reads out the short circuit status
flags in status registers 7A and 8A.
To enable the motor again after reading out of the status
flags, <MOTEN>=1 has to be written. Depending on the
<DIAGEN> bit, Automatic diagnostic can be performed
after enabling the outputs (H−bridges) prior to going
to normal mode operation.
Notes:
1. Successive reading of the <SHRTij> flags and
re−enabling the motor in case of a short circuit
condition may lead to damage of the drivers.
2. Example: SHRTXPT means: Short at X coil,
Positive output pin, Top transistor.
3. In case of the short from any stepper motor pin
to the top side during switching event from bottom
to top on motor pin, the flag “short to bottom side”
is set instead of the expected “short to top side”
flag.
When in normal mode, the device will continuously check
upon errors with respect to the expected behavior.
The open load condition is determined by the fact that the
PWM duty cycle keeps 100% value for a time longer than set
by <OpenDet[1:0]> register. This is valid of course only for
the X/Y coil where the current is supposed to circulate,
meaning that in full step positions (MSP[6:0] = {0; 32; 64;
96} (dec)) the open load can be detected only for one of the
coil at a time (respectively {X; Y; X; Y}). The same
reasoning applies for the short circuits detection.
Due to the timeout value set by <OpenDet[1:0]>, the open
coil detection is dependent on the motor speed. In more
detail, there is a maximum speed at which it can be done.
Table 15 specifies these maxima for the different step
modes. For practical reasons, all values are given in full
steps per second.

after a power−on or hard reset and can also be activated by
means of SPI bit <SLP>. In sleep−mode, all analog circuits
are suspended in low−power and all digital clocks are
stopped: SPI communication is impossible. The motor
driver is disabled (even if <MOTEN>=1), the content of all
logic registers is maintained (including <MOTEN>, <TSD>
and <TW>), all logic output pins are disabled (ERRB has no
function) and none of the input pins are functional with the
exception of pin CSB. Only this pin can wake−up the chip
to normal mode (i.e. clear bit <SLP>) by means of a
“high−to−low voltage” transition. After wake−up, time twu
(see AC Table) is needed to restore analog and digital clocks
and to bring SPI communication within specification.
Notes:
• The hard−reset function is disabled in sleep mode.
• The thermal shutdown function will be “frozen” during
sleep mode and re−activated at wake−up. This is
important in case bit <TSD>=1 was cleared already by
the micro and <TW> was not “0” yet.
• The CSB low pulse width has to be within tcsb_with,
(see AC Table) to guarantee a correct wake−up.
pulled down (*). If junction temperature increases
above thermal shutdown level, then also the <TSD> flag is
set, the ERRB pin is pulled down, the motor is disabled
(<MOTEN> = 0) and the hardware reset is disabled. If Tj <
Ttw level and <TSD> bit has been read−out, the status
of <TSD> is cleared and the ERRB pin is released.
Only if the <TSD>=<TW>=0, the motor can be enabled
again by writing <MOTEN>=1 in the control register 1.
During the over temperature condition the hardware reset
will not work until Tj < Ttw and the <TSD> readout is done.
In this way it is guaranteed that after a <TSD>=1 event,
the die−temperature decreases back to the level of <TW>.
Note: (*): During the <TW> situation the motor is not
disabled while the ERRB is pulled down. To be informed
about other error situations it is recommended to poll the
status registers on a regular base (time base driven
by application software in the millisecond domain).
SPI Framing Error
The SPI transmission is continuously monitored
for correct amounts of incoming data bits. If within one
frame of data the number of SPI CLK high transitions is not
equal to a multiple of 16 (16,32,48,...), then the SPI error bit
in the status register is set and the ERRB pin goes low to
indicate this error to the micro controller. During this fault
condition the incoming data are not loaded into the internal
registers and the transmit shift register is not loaded with the
requested data.
The status of the SPI framing error is reset by an errorless
received frame requesting for the motor controller status
register 0. This request will reset the SPI error bit and
releases the ERRB pin (high).
Power−on Reset, Hard−Reset Function
After a power−on or a hard−reset, a flag <HR> in the SPI
status register is set and the ERRB is pulled low. The ERRB
stays low during this reset state. The typical power−on reset
time is given by thr_err (Table 7 − AC PARAMETERS). After
the reset state the device enters sleep mode and the ERRB
pin goes high to indicate the motor controller is ready for
operation.
By means of a specific pattern on the DIR pin during the
“Hold Mode”, the complete digital part of driver can be reset
without a power−cycle. This hard−reset function is activated
when the input pin DIR changes logic state
“0 → 1 → 0 → 1” within thr_trig in five consecutive patterns
during “Hold Mode”. See figure below and Table 7 − AC
PARAMETERS. With the device NCV70514MW007, the
DIR change pattern can be alternatively created via the
<DIRP> bit in SPI control register 1.
The operation of all analog circuits is suspended during
the reset state of the digital. Similar as for a normal
power−on, the flag <HR> is set in the SPI register after a
hard−reset and the ERRB pin is pulled low during thr_err
(Table 7 − AC PARAMETERS).
To enable the motor controller to perform a proper self
diagnosis, it is recommended that the motor is in “Hold
Mode” before the hard reset is generated. The minimum
time (thr_set) between the beginning of “Hold Mode” and the
first rising edge of the DIR pin is given in Table 7 − AC
PARAMETERS.

The CSB line is active low. If an NCV70514 is not
selected, DO is in high impedance state and it does not
interfere with SPI bus activities. Since the NCV70514
always clocks data out on the falling edge and samples data
in on rising edge of clock, the MCU SPI port must be
configured to match this operation.
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used to allow
an external microcontroller (MCU) to communicate
with the device. NCV70514 acts always as a slave and it
cannot initiate any transmission. The operation of the device
is configured and controlled by means of SPI registers,
which are observable for read and/or write from the master.
The NCV70514 SPI transfer size is 16 bits.
During an SPI transfer, the data is simultaneously
transmitted (shifted out serially) and received (shifted in
serially). A serial clock line (CLK) synchronizes shifting
and sampling of the information on the two serial data lines:

Figure 18. SPI Frame Structure
The implemented SPI allows connection to multiple slaves
by means of both time−multiplexing (CSB per slave) and
daisy−chain (CSB per group of slaves). Multi−axis
connections schemes are discussed in a separate chapter
below.
copied in the control register. The contents of the
addressed control register will be sent back by the
NCV70514 in the next SPI access.
• Reading from a control register is accomplished
by putting its address in the second half of the address
byte. The data byte has no function for this command.
• Reading from a status register is accomplished
by putting its address either in the first or in the second
half of the address byte. The data byte has no function
for this command.
The response (from DO pin of NCV70514) on these
commands is always 2 bytes long. The possible
combinations of DI/DO and their use are summarized in the
following Table 16. Figure 19 gives examples of the data
streaming:
SPI Transfer Format and Pin Signals
All SPI commands (to DI pin of NCV70514) from the
micro controller consist of one “address byte” and one “data
byte”. The address byte contains up to two addresses of each
4 bit long. These addresses are pointing to a command or
requested action in a SPI slave. Three command−types can
be distinguished: “Write to a control register”, “Read from
a control register” and “Read from a status register”.
• Writing to a control register is accomplished only if the
address of the target register appears in the first half of
the address byte. The contents of the data−byte will be

APPLICATION EXAMPLES FOR MULTI−AXIS CONTROL
The wiring diagrams below show possible connections of
multiple slaves to one microcontroller. In these examples,
all movements of the motors are synchronized by means of
a common NXT wire. The direction and Run/Hold
activation is controlled by means of an SPI bus.

Further I/O reduction is accomplished in case the ERRB
is not connected. This would mean that the microcontroller
operates while polling the error flags of the slaves.
Ultimately, one can operate multiple slaves by means of only
4 SPI connections: even the NXT pin can be avoided if the
microcontroller operates the motors by means of the
“NXTP” bit.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Special care has to be taken into account with long wiring
to motors and inductors. A modern methodology to regulate
the current in inductors and motor windings is based on
controlling the motor voltage by PWM. This low frequency
switching of the battery voltage is present at the wiring
towards the motor or windings. To reduce possible radiated
transmission, it is advised to use twisted pair cable and/or
shielded cable.
The NCV70514 has been developed using
state−of−the−art design techniques for EMC. The overall
system performance depends on multiple aspects of the
system (IC design & lay−out, PCB design and layout ...) of
which some are not solely under control of the IC
manufacturer. Therefore, meeting system EMC
requirements can only happen in collaboration with all
involved parties.
PCB LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended PCB layout for the NCV70514 is shown
on the following figure. The VDD capacitor C4 must be
placed close to the device and with GND straight to the
device and not the common GND. This is crucial for
optimum EMC performance.
