FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Basic structure The L9935 is a dual full bridge driver for inductive loads with a chopper current regulation. Outputs A1 and A2 belong to full bridge A Outputs B1 and B2 belong to full bridge B The polarity of the bridges can be controlled by bit0 and bit3 (for full bridge A, bit3, for full bridge B, bit0). Bit5, bit4 (for full bridge A) and bit2, bit1 (for full bridge B) control the currents. Bit3 high leads to output A1 high. Bit0 high leads to output B1 high.

Turning on: Changing bit 5 or bit 4 or both to LOW will turn on either M11 and M22 or M21 and M12 (depending on the phase signal bit 3). Current will start to flow through the load. The current will be sensed by the drop across R1. The threshold of the comparator comp 1 depends on the current settings of bit 5 and bit 4. The current will rise until it exceeds the turn off threshold of comp 1. Chopping: Exceeding the threshold of comp 1 the drive logic will turn off the sink transistor (M12 or M22). The sink transistor periodically is turned on again by the oscillator. Immediately after turning on M12 or M22 the comparator comp 1 will be inhibited for a certain time to blank switch over spikes caused by capacitive load components up to 5 nF. Turning off for example M12 will yield a flyback current through D11. (So now the free wheeling current flows through M21, the load and D11). This leads to a slow current decay during flyback. Maximum duty cycles of more than 85% (at fOSC = 25kHz) are possible. In this case current flows of both bridges will overlap (not shown in Fig. 5). Reversing phase: Suppose the current flowed via M21, the load and M12 before reversing phase. Reversing phase M21 and M12 will be turned off. So now the current will flow through D22, the load and D11. This leads to a fast current decay. Chopper control by oscillator Both chopping circuits work with offset phase. One chopper will switch on the bridge at the maximum voltage of the oscillator while the other chopper will switch on the bridge at minimum voltage of the oscillator. MS1 and MS2 blank switching spikes that could lead to errors of the current control circuit. Figure 4. Principal chopper control circuit.

VOSC current threshold 1 VSRA current threshold 2 VSRB turn off delay due to slope velocity control total current consumption IVS ∆I D99AT421 Using offset chopping the changes of the supply current remain half as large as using non offset chopping. Turning off the oscillator for example by shorting pin OSC to ground will hinder turning on of the bridges anymore after the comparators have generated a turn off signal. External clocking is possible overdriving the charge and discharge currents of the oscillator for example with a push pull logic gate. So several devices can be synchronized. Protection and Diagnosis Functions The L9935 provides several protection functions and error detection functions. Current limitation usually is customer defined by the external current sense resistors. The current sensed there is used to regulate the current through the stepper motor windings by pulse width modulation. This PWM regulation protects the sink transistors. The source transistors are protected by an internal overcurrent shut down turning off the source transistors in case of overload. Overload detection of the source transistor will turn off the bridge and set the corresponding error flag. To turn on the bridge again a new byte must be written into the interface. (Rising slope of CSN resets the overload error flag). Both bridges use the same flags. To locate which bridge is affected by an error the bridges can be tested individually (One bridge just is turned off to check for the error in the other bridge). Short from an Output to the Supply Voltage VS The current will be limited by the pulse width modulator. The sink transistor will turn off again after some microseconds. The transistor will periodically be turned on again by the oscillator 8 times. After having detected short 8 times the low side transistor will remain off until the next data transfer took place. After detection of a short to VS we suggest to turn off the corresponding bridge to reduce power dissipation for at least 1ms. 8/19 L9935 Diagnosis of a Short to VS During the short current through the sink transistor will rise more rapidly than under normal load conditions. Reaching a peak current of 1.5 times the maximum PWM current between typically 2µs and 5µs after turn on will be detected as a short to VS. Detecting a short the low side transistor will try to turn on again the next 7 trigger pulse of the oscillator. Simultaneously the error flag will updated on each pulse. Figure 6. Normal PWM current versus short circuit current and detection of short to VS.. IQ short threshold PWM threshold t tON tshort tPWM tON tshort tPWM tON tshort tPWM tON tshort PWM detection signal (internal) t Short detection signal (internal) t Error 1 ton : turn on of the sink transistor ton + t1 = tshort : activation of short threshold ton + tdelay = tPWM : activation of PWM threshold tPWM t D99AT422 Between ton and tshort the over current detection is totally blanked. Between tshort and tPWM the current threshold is set to 1.5 times the maximum PWM current (1.5 times the current of current setting LL). Overcurrent now will set the error flag. After tPWM the current threshold is the nominal PWM current set by the external resistor. Exceeding this current will just turn off the sink transistor. This is considered as normal operation. The error flag is detached from the comparator after tPWM so no error flag is set during normal pulse width modulation. Short from an Output to Ground The current through the short will be detected by the protection of the source transistor. The source transistor will turn off exceeding a current of typically 1.8A. Minimum overload detection current is 1.2A. To obtain proper current regulation (by the sink transistors and not by source transistor shut down) the maximum current of the PWM regulator should be set to a maximum value of 1.1A. 9/19 L9935 Diagnosis of a Short to Ground Detecting an overload will set an overcurrent error (Error2 = LOW) (bit6). To reset the error flag a new byte must be written into the interface. (Reset of the error flag takes place at the rising slope of CSN). Shorted Load With a shorted load both, the sink- and the source protection or the PWM alone will respond. In either case there will be no flyback pulse. Diagnosis of a Shorted Load Shorting the load two events may take place: - overload (of the high side transistor) while low side transistor overcurrent is detected will set the following combinations: bit6 = LOW bit7 = HIGH - overload is marginal. So the low side driver may turn off before overload is detected. This leads to the combination bit6 = HIGH and bit7 = LOW. Open Load An open load will not lead to any flyback pulses. Error detection will take advantage of the flyback pulse. Missing the flyback pulse after reversing the polarity of a motor winding bit7 will become LOW. Open load will not be tested in the low current mode (current bits HL) to avoid the risk of instable diagnosis at low flayback currents. Open load immediately after reset or power down may on random be detected in the low current mode too. This diagnosis however will not persist longer than 8 changes of polarity. We strongly suggest to test open load at a high current mode (combination LH or LL). Overtemperature Prealarm Typically 20K before thermal shut down takes place an overtemperature prealarm (bit7 and bit6 low) takes place. Typically overtemperature prealarm temperature is between 150°C and 160°C. Application hints using a high resistive stepper motor The L9935 was originally targeted on stepper chopping stepper motor application with typical resistances of 8..12W. Using motors with higher resistance will work too but diagnosis behaviour will slightly change. This paragraph shows the details that should be taken in account using diagnosis for high resistive motors. Startup behaviour: The device has simple digital filter to avoid triggering diagnosis at a single event that could be random noise. This digital filter needs 4 chopping pulses to settle. Using a high resistive motor this chopping does not take place. Instead the digital filter samples each time a polarty change takes place. So the first three response telegrams after reset may show an ’open load’ error. Inpu t data High resistive motor (error bits) Low resistive motor (error bits) 1st telegram (550mA or 900mA) HH HH Reverse phase (550mA or 900mA) XH HH Reverse phase (550mA or 900mA) XH HH Any data XH HH Any data HH HH Standby H means check for HIGH at the error bits. X means don’t care because filter is not yet settled. 10/19 L9935 Using 75mA chopping immediatelly after stand by: The high resistive motor can be forced to chopping operation in the low current range. This leads to the samebehaviour as using a low resistive motor. Short to VS detection using high resistive motors: The short to VS flag is overwritten each time the chopper comparator responds. Having detected a short this flagonly can be reset by reaching chopping operation or resetting the circuit (ENN=1). For a high resistive motor thisleads to the following consequence: Once a short to VS is detected the error flag will persist even if the short is removed again until either a reset (ENN=1) or chopping (for example in 75mA mode) has taken place. We suggest to return to operation once a short to VS was detected by using the low current mode to reset the flag. Limitation of the Diagnosis The diagnosis depends on either detecting an overcurrent of more than typically 1.8A through the source transistor or on not detecting a flyback pulse, or on detecting severe overcurrents of the sink transistor immediately after turn on. Small currents bypassing the load will not be detected. In the low current range (hold current) the flyback pulse (especially commutating against the supply voltage after changing phase) may (depending on the inductivity of the stepper motor windings) be too short to be detected correctly. For this reason diagnosis using the flyback pulse is blanked at phase reversal at hold current. In the low current range (hold current) the current capability of the bridge is reduced on purpose. Short to VS may not be detected. In stead the bridge may just chop like normal operation. Flyback pulse detection is not blanked during PWM regulation at hold current (here commutation voltage is less than 1V thus providing a longer pulse duration.) This however should be taken in account using stepper motors with low inductivity (less than 0.5mH). Using motors with such a low inductivity the flyback voltage in hold mode may decay too fast. Motors with extremely low ohmic resistance tend to pump up the current because current decay during flyback approaches zero while at bridge turn on the current will increase. This may lead to overcurrent detection. We suggest to use stepper motors with an ohmic resistance of approximately 3Ω or more. Partial shorts of windings or shorts of stepper motors with coils in series may still yield a flyback pulses that are accepted by the diagnosis as a proper signal. Table 2. Error table.

To especially support bus controlled applications the additional signals EN (chip enable not) and CSN (chip select not) are available. Startup of the Serial Data Interface Falling slope of EN activates the device. After ten.sck the device is ready to work. Falling slope of CSN indicates start of frame. Data transfer (reading SDI into the register) takes place at the rising slopes of SCK. Data transfer of the register to SDO takes place at the falling slope of SCK. Rising slope of CSN indicates end of frame. At the end of frame data will only be accepted if modulo 8 bit (modulo 8 falling slopes to SCK) have been transferred. If this is not the case the input will be ignored and the bridges will maintain the same status as before. SDO is a tristate output. SDO is active while CSN = LOW, while CSN = HIGH SDO is high resistive. Figure 7.

So a short to ground only is detected on one branche of the bridge. Lower resistivity of the motor may lead to detection of short to ground on both branches of the bridge leading to code 10 on all steps. 14/19 L9935 These sequences are intended to give the user a good starting point for his software development. Besides these two there are further possibilities how to implement control sequences for this device (other currents, quarters step etc.).

Open and short to VS are the least dominant error codes. (first 6 error code columns). Short to ground is the second dominant error code. detection of short to gnd will overwrite error codes of the least dominant kind (open, short to VS). Temperature prealarm and thermal shut down are the most dominant error codes. Thermal prealarm returns error code 00 but the device still is working and returns the appropriate operation code (bits 0..5). Thermal shut down returns error code 00 and turns off the device. The opcode returned corresponds the action eventually performed (bit 0..5 become 1). For example open bridge A and simultaneously open bridge B will lead to error code 01 by performing an AND operation between the two corresponding columns. *) Motor resistance approximatelly 10Ω and VS = 12V. So a short to ground only is detected on one branche of the bridge. Lower resistivity of the motor may lead to detection of short to ground on both branches of the bridge leading to code 10 on all steps.
