Single Gauge Driver
33977
The 33977 is a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Controlled, stepper
motor gauge driver Integrated Circuit (IC). This monolithic IC consists
of a dual H-Bridge coil driver and its associated control logic. The HBridge drivers are used to automatically control the speed, direction,
and magnitude of current through the coils of a two-phase
instrumentation stepper motor, similar to an MMT-licensed AFIC 6405
of Switec MS-X156.xxx motor.
The 33977 is ideal for use in instrumentation systems requiring
distributed and flexible stepper motor gauge driving. The device also
eases the transition to stepper motors from air core motors by
emulating the damped air core pointer movement.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
This 33977 is a single-packaged, Serial Peripheral
INterface (SPI) controlled, single stepper motor gauge driver
integrated circuit (IC). This monolithic stepper IC consists of
[deleted two per D. Mortensen] a dual output H-Bridge coil
driver [deleted plural s for accurate tense] and the
associated control logic. The dual H-Bridge driver is used to
automatically control the speed, direction, and magnitude of
current through the coils of a two-phase instrumentation
stepper motor, similar to an MMT-licensed AFIC 6405 of
Switec MS-X 156.xxx motor.
FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
COSINE POSITIVE (COS0+)
The H-Bridge pins linearly drive the sine and cosine coils
of a stepper motor, providing four-quadrant operation.
COSINE NEGATIVE (COS0-)
The H-Bridge pins linearly drive the sine and cosine coils
of a stepper motor, providing four-quadrant operation.
SINE POSITIVE (SIN+)
The H-Bridge pins linearly drive the sine and cosine coils
of a stepper motor, providing four-quadrant operation.
SINE NEGATIVE (SIN-)
The H-Bridge pins linearly drive the sine and cosine coils
of a stepper motor, providing four-quadrant operation.
SCLK has an internal pull down (lDWN), as specified in the
section of the Static Electrical Characteristics Table. When
CS is logic [1], signals at the SCLK and SI pins are ignored
and SO is tri-stated (high impedance). Refer to the data
transfer Timing Diagrams on page 9.
SERIAL OUTPUT (SO)
The SO data pin is a tri-stateable output from the Shift
register. The Status register bits are the first 16 bits shifted
out. Those bits are followed by the message bits clocked in
FIFO, when the device is in a daisy chain connection or being
sent words that are multiples of 16 bits. Data is shifted on the
rising edge of the SCLK signal. The SO pin will remain in a
high impedance state until the CS pin is put into a logic low
state.
SERIAL INPUT (SI)
GROUND (GND)
Ground pins.
CHIP SELECT (CS)
The pin enables communication with the master device.
When this pin is in a logic [0] state, the 33977 is capable of
transferring information to, and receiving information from,
the master. The 33977 latches data in from the Input Shift
registers to the addressed registers on the rising edge of CS.
The output driver on the SO pin is enabled when CS is
logic [0]. When CS is logic high, signals at the SCLK and SI
pins are ignored and the SO pin is tri-stated (high
impedance). CS will only be transitioned from a logic [1] state
to a logic [0] state when SCLK is logic [0]. CS has an internal
pull-up (IUP) connected to the pin, as specified in the section
of the Static Electrical Characteristics Table.
The SI pin is the input of the SPI. Serial input information
is read on the falling edge of SCLK. A 16-bit stream of serial
data is required on the SI pin, beginning with the most
significant bit (MSB). Messages that are not multiples of 16
bits (e.g., daisy chained device messages) are ignored. After
transmitting a 16-bit word, the CS pin must be de-asserted
(logic [1]) before transmitting a new word. SI information is
ignored when CS is in a logic high state.
RETURN TO ZERO (RTZ)
This is a multiplexed output pin for the non-driven coil,
during a Return to Zero (RTZ) event.
VOLTAGE (VDD)
The SPI and logic power supply input will work with 5.0 V
supplies.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCLK)
RESET (RST)
SCLK clocks the Internal Shift registers of the 33977
device. The SI pin accepts data into the Input Shift register on
the falling edge of the SCLK signal, while the Serial Output
pin (SO) shifts data information out of the SO Line Driver on
the rising edge of the SCLK signal. It is important that the
SCLK pin be in a logic [0] state whenever the CS makes any
transition.
If the master decides to reset the device, or place it into a
sleep state, the RST pin is driven to a Logic [0]. A Logic [0] on
the RST pin forces all internal logic to the known default state.
This input has an internal active pull-up.
VOLTAGE POWER (VPWR)
This is the power supply pin.

STATE MACHINE OPERATION
The 33977 is ideal for use in instrumentation systems
requiring distributed and flexible stepper motor gauge driving.
The device also eases the transition to stepper motors from
air core motors by emulating the air core pointer movement
with little additional processor bandwidth utilization. The twophase stepper motor has maximum allowable velocities and
acceleration and deceleration. The purpose of the stepper
motor state machine is to drive the motor with the maximum
performance while remaining within the motor’s voltage,
velocity, and acceleration constraints.
A requirement of the state machine is to ensure the
deceleration phase begins at the correct time and pointer
position. When commanded, the motor [will deleted PV]
accelerates constantly to the maximum velocity, and then it
moves toward the commanded position at the maximum
velocity. Eventually, the pointer reaches the calculated
location where the movement has to decelerate, safely
slowing to a stop at the desired position. During the
deceleration phase, the motor does [will deleted PV] not
exceed the maximum deceleration.
During normal operation, both stepper motor rotors are
microstepped at 24 steps per electrical revolution, illustrated
in Figure 7. A complete electrical revolution results in two
degrees of pointer movement. There is a second smaller
[parentheses removed-unnecessary] state machine in the IC
controlling these microsteps. The smaller state machine
receives clockwise or counter-clockwise index commands at
timed intervals, thereby stepping the motor in the appropriate
direction by adjusting the current in each coil. Normalized

v = 2/t - u
The correct value of t to use in the equation is the
quantized value obtained above.
From these equations, a set of recursive equations can be
generated to give the allowed time step between motor
indexes when the motor is accelerating from a stop to its
maximum velocity.
Starting from a position p of 0 and a velocity v of 0, these
equations define the time interval between steps at each
position. To drive the motor at maximum performance, index
commands are given to the motor at these intervals. A table
is generated giving the time step *t at an index position n.
p0 = 0
v0 = 0
* Denotes normalized values
The motor is stepped by providing index commands at
intervals. The time between steps defines the motor velocity
and the changing time defines the motor acceleration.
The state machine uses a table to define the allowed time
and the maximum velocity. A useful side effect of the table is
that it also allows the direct determination of the position at
which the velocity should reduce to stop the motor at the
desired position.
Motor motion equations follow: [reworded for efficient use
of space]
(The units of position are steps and velocity and
acceleration are in steps/second and steps/second2.)
From an initial position of 0 with an initial velocity (u), the
motor position (s) at a time (t) is:
s = ut + 1/2 at 2
For unit steps, the time between steps is:
⇒t=
- u + √ u2 + 2a
a
This defines the time increment between steps when the
motor is initially traveling at a velocity u. In the ROM, this time
is quantized to multiples of the system clock by rounding
upwards, ensuring acceleration never exceeds the allowed
value. The actual velocity and acceleration is calculated from
the time step actually used. Using:
v2 = u2 + 2as
and
v = u + at
∆tn =
⎡ -vn -1 + √ v2
n -1
+ 2a ⎤
a
where ⎡ ⎤ indicates rounding up
vn = 2/∆tn - Vn -1
pn = n
Note: [chgd for format consistency AND deleted that as PV]
For pn = n, on the nth step, the motor [has deleted as PV]
indexed by n positions and has been accelerating steadily at
the maximum allowed rate. This is critical because it also
indicates the minimum distance the motor must travel while
decelerating to a stop. For example, the stopping distance is
also equal to the current value of n.
The algorithm of pointer movement can be summarized in
two steps:
1. The pointer is at the previously commanded position
and is not moving.
2. A command to move to a pointer position (other than
the current position) has been received. Timed index
pulses are sent to the motor driver at an everincreasing rate, according to the time steps in Table 6,
until:
aThe maximum velocity (default or selected) is
reached after which the step time intervals will no
longer decrease.
bThe distance in steps that remain to travel are less
than the current step time index value. The motor
then decelerates by increasing the step times
according to Table 6 until the commanded
position is reached. The state machine controls
the deceleration so that the pointer reaches the
commanded position efficiently.
An example of the velocity table for a particular motor is
provided in Table 6. This motor’s maximum speed is 4800

INTERNAL CLOCK CALIBRATION
Timing-related functions on the 33977 (e.g., pointer,
velocities, acceleration, and Return to Zero Pointer speeds)
depend upon a precise, consistent time reference to control
the pointer accurately and reliably. Generating accurate time
references on an integrated circuit can be accomplished.
There are three methods to generate accurate time
references on an integrated circuit:
1. One option is trimming; however, timing tends to be
costly due to the large amount of die area required for
trim pads.
3. A third, and even more expensive approach requires
the use of an additional crystal, or resonator.
The internal clock in the 33977 is temperature
independent and area efficient; however, it can vary up to 70
percent due to process variation. Using the existing SPI
inputs and the precision timing reference already available to
the microcontroller, the 33977 allows more accurate clock
calibration to within ±10 percent without requiring extra pins,
components, or costly circuitry.
Calibrating the internal 1.0 MHz clock is initiated by writing
Logic [1] to PECCR bit PE3, illustrated in Figure 8.
2. Another, but expensive possibility is an externally
generated clock signal. This option requires a
dedicated pin on the device and controller.

clock is always below 1.0 MHz if PECCR bit PE4 is Logic [0]

POINTER DECELERATION
Constant acceleration and deceleration of the pointer
produces relatively choppy movements when compared to
those of an air core gauge. Modification of the velocity
position ramp during deceleration can create the desired
damped movement. This modification is accomplished in the
33977 by adding repetitive steps at several of the last velocity
position step values as the pointer decelerates. The default
movement in the 33977 uses this ramp modification feature.
An example is illustrated in Figure 9. If the maximum
acceleration and deceleration of the pointer is desired, the
repetitive steps can be disabled by writing Logic [1] to the
PECCR bit PE5.

RETURN TO ZERO CALIBRATION
Many stepper motor applications require [that deleted as
PV] the IC detect when the stepper motor stalls after
commanded to return to the zero position for calibration
purposes. In instrumentation applications, the stalling occurs
when the pointer hits the end stop on the gauge bezel,
[which is deleted as PV] usually at the zero position. It is
important to know [that PV] when the pointer reaches the end
stop, it immediately stops without bouncing away. The 33977
device provides the ability to automatically and independently
return the pointer to the zero position via the RTZR and
RTZCR SPI commands. An automatic RTZ is initiated, using
the RZ1 and RZ2 bits, provided the RZ4 is Logic [1]. During
an RTZ event, all commands related to the gauge being
returned are ignored until the pointer has successfully
zeroed, or the RTZR bit RZ1 is written to disable the event.
Once an RTZ event is initiated, the device reports back via
the SO pin an RTZ event is underway.
The RTZCR command is used to set the RTZ pointer
speed, choose an appropriate blanking time, and preload the
integration accumulator with an appropriate offset. On
reaching the end stop, the device reports back to the
microcontroller via the status message [that PV] the RTZ was
successful. The RTZ automatically disables, [that will PV]
allowing other commands to be valid. In the event the master
determines an RTZ sequence is not working properly, for
example, the RTZ taking too long; it can disable the
command via the RTZR bit RZ1. [Altered for better read flow]
RTZCR bits RC10:RC5 are written to preload the
accumulator with a predetermined value assuring accurate
pointer stall detection. This preloaded value can be
determined during application development by disabling the
automatic shutdown feature of the device with the RTZR bit
RZ4. This operating mode allows the master to monitor the
RTZ event, using the accumulator information available via
the SO if the device is configured to provide the RTZ
Accumulator Status. The unconditional RTZ event can be
turned OFF using the RTZR bit RZ1.
If the Position 0 location bit, RZ2, is in the default Logic [0]
mode, then during an RTZ event the pointer is returned
counterclockwise (CCW) using full steps at a constant speed
determined by the RTZCR RC3:RC0 and RC12:RC11 bits
written during RTZ configuration, see Figure 10. Full steps
are used during an RTZ so only coil of the motor is being
driven at any time. The coil not being driven is used to
determine if the pointer is moving. If the pointer is moving, the
flux present in the non-driven coil is processed by integrating
the back EMF signal present on the opened pin of the coil
while applying a fixed potential to the other end.

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
OPERATIONAL MODES
DEFAULT MODE
Default mode refers to the state of the 33977 after an
internal or external reset prior to SPI communication. An
internal reset occurs during VDD power-up or if VPWR falls
below 4.0 V. An external reset is initiated by the RST pin
driven to Logic [0]. With the exception of the RTZCR full step
time, all of the specific pin functions and internal registers will
operate as though all of the addressable configuration
register bits were set to Logic [0]. This means, for example,
[deleted PV that] the outputs will be disabled after a powerup or external reset, and SO flag OD6 and OD8 are set,
indicating an undervoltage event. Anytime an external reset
is exerted and the default is restored, all configuration
parameters [replaced e.g. with such as] such as clock
calibration, maximum speed, and RTZ parameters are lost
and must be reloaded.
FAULT LOGIC REQUIREMENTS
The 33977 device indicates each of the following faults as
they occur:
• Overtemperature fault
• Undervoltage VPWR
• Overvoltage VPWR
• Clock Out of Specification [Formalized spec]
These fault bits remain enabled until they are clocked out
of the SO pin with a valid SPI message.
Overcurrent faults are not reports directly; however, it is
likely an overcurrent condition will become a thermal issue
and be reported.
OVERTEMPERATURE FAULT REQUIREMENTS
The 33977 incorporates overtemperature protection
circuitry, shutting off the gauge driver when an excessive
temperature is detected. In the event of a thermal overload,
the gauge driver is automatically disabled and the fault is
flagged via the OT device status bit. The indicating flag
continues to be set until the gauge is successfully re-enacted,
provided the junction temperature has fallen below the
hysteresis level.
OVERVOLTAGE FAULT REQUIREMENTS
The device is capable of surviving VPWR voltages within
the maximum specified in Maximum Ratings, Table 2. VPWR
levels resulting in an overvoltage shutdown condition can
result in uncertain pointer positions. Therefore, the pointer
position should be re-calibrated. The master will be notified of
an overvoltage event via the SO pin if the device status is
selected. Overvoltage detection and notification occurs
regardless of whether the gauge(s) are enabled or disabled.
OVERCURRENT FAULT REQUIREMENTS
Outcome currents are limited to safe levels allowing the
device to rely on thermal shutdown to protect itself.
UNDERVOLTAGE FAULT REQUIREMENTS
Undervoltage VPWR conditions may result in uncertain
pointer positions. Therefore, the internal clock and the pointer
position may require re-calibration. The state machine
continues to operate with VPWR voltage levels as low as 4.0
V; however, the coil voltages may be clipped. Notification of
an undervoltage event is provided via the SO pin.
RESET (SLEEP MODE)
The device can reset internally or externally. If the VDD
level falls below the VDDUV level, the device resets and
powers up in the Default mode. See Static Electrical
Characteristics table under the sub-heading: Power Input in
Table 3. Similarly, if the RST pin is driven to Logic [0], then
the device resets to its default state. The device consumes
the least amount of current (IDD and IPWR) when the RST pin
is Logic [0]. This is also referred to as the Sleep mode.

LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
SPI PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION
The SPI interface has a full-duplex, three-wire
synchronous,16-bit serial synchronous interface data
transfer and four I/O lines associated with it: Chip Select
(CS), Serial Clock (SCLK), Serial Input (SI), and Serial Output
(SO). The SI/SO pins of the 33977 follow a first in/first out
(D15/D0) protocol with both input and output words
transferring the most significant bit first. All inputs are
compatible with 5.0 V CMOS logic levels.
Figure 11 and Figure 12. [figure numbers changed due to
template formatting]
It transitions one time per bit transferred at an operating
frequency, fSPI, defined in the SPI Interface Timing section of
the Dynamic Electrical Characteristics Table 4. It is idle
between command transfers. The pin is 50 percent duty
cycle, with CMOS logic levels. This signal is used to shift data
to and from the device.
SERIAL OUTPUT (SO)
CHIP SELECT (CS)
The CS pin enables communication with the master
device.
When this pin is in a Logic [0] state, the 33977 is capable
of transferring information to, and receiving information from,
the master. The 33977 latches data in from the Input Shift
registers to the addressed registers on the rising edge of CS.
The output driver on the SO pin is enabled when CS is Logic
[0]. When CS is logic high, signals at the SCLK and SI pins
are ignored and the SO pin is tri-stated (high impedance). CS
will only be transitioned from a Logic [1] state to a Logic [0]
state when SCLK is Logic [0]. CS has an internal pull-up (IUP)
connected to the pin, as specified in the section of the Static
Electrical Characteristics table entitled CONTROL I/O,
[which is found on page...deleted for consistent format]
Table 3. This pin is also used to calibrate the internal clock.
SERIAL CLOCK (SCLK)
SCLK clocks the Internal Shift registers of the 33977
device. The SI pin accepts data into the Input Shift register on
the falling edge of the SCLK signal, while the Serial Output
pin (SO) shifts data information out of the SO line driver on
the rising edge of the SCLK signal. It is important the SCLK
pin be in a Logic [0] state whenever the CS makes any
transition. SCLK has an internal pull-down (lDWN), as
specified in the section Control I/O of the Static Electrical
Characteristics, [which is found on page...deleted for
consistent format] Table 3. When CS is Logic [1], signals at
the SCLK and SI pins are ignored and SO is tri-stated (high
impedance). Refer to the data transfer timing diagrams in
The SO data pin is a tri-stateable output from the Shift
register. This output will remain tri-stated unless the device is
selected by a low CS signal. The output signal generated will
have CMOS logic levels and the output will transition on the
rising edges of SCLK. The serial output data provides status
feedback and fault information for each output and is returned
MSB first when the device is addressed.
The Status register bits are the first 16 bits shifted out.
Those bits are followed by the message bits clocked in FIFO,
when the device is in a daisy chain connection, or being sent
words [that are deleted as PV] multiples of 16 bits. Data is
shifted on the rising edge of the SCLK signal. The SO pin
[will deleted as PV] remains in a high impedance state until
the CS pin is put into a logic low state.
SERIAL INPUT (SI)
The SI pin is the input of the SPI. This input has an internal
active pull-down requiring CMOS logic levels. The serial data
transmitted on this line is a 16-bit control command sent MSB
first, controlling the gauge functions. The master ensures
data is available on the falling edge of SCLK.
Serial input information is read on the falling edge of
SCLK. A 16-bit stream of serial data is required on the SI pin,
beginning with the most significant bit (MSB). Messages [that
are deleted as PV] not multiples of 16 bits (e.g., daisy
chained device messages) are ignored. After transmitting a
16-bit word, the CS pin must be de-asserted (Logic [1]) before
transmitting a new word. SI information is ignored when CS
is in a logic high state.

DATA INPUT
DATA OUTPUT
The Input Shift register captures data at the falling edge of
the SCLK. The SCLK pulses exactly 16 times only inside the
transmission windows (CS in a Logic [1] state). By the time
the CS signal goes to Logic [1] again, the contents of the
Input Shift register are transferred to the appropriate internal
register addressed in bits 15:13. The minimum time CS
should be kept high depends on the internal clock speed,
specified in the SPI Interface Timing section of the [Static
replaced with Dynamic - correcting table location] Dynamic
Electrical Characteristics, Table 4. It must be long enough so
the internal clock is able to capture the data from the Input
Shift register and transfer it to the internal registers.
At the first rising edge of the SCLK [clock deleted to
eliminate redundancy], with CS at Logic [1], the contents of
the selected Status Word register are transferred to the
Output Shift register. The first 16 bits clocked out are the
status bits. If data continues to clock in before the CS
transitions to Logic [1], the device begins to shift out the data
previously clocked in FIFO after the CS first transitioned to
Logic[1].

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
The device is controlled by the microprocessor and reports
back status information via the SPI. This section provides a
detailed description of all registers accessible via serial
interface. The various registers control the behavior of this
device.
A message is transmitted by the master beginning with the
MSB (D15) and ending with the LSB (D0). Multiple messages
can be transmitted in succession to accommodate those
applications where daisy chaining is desirable, or to confirm
transmitted data, as long as the messages are all multiples of
16 bits. Data is transferred through daisy-chained devices, as
illustrated in Figure 12. If an attempt is made to latch in a
message smaller than 16 bits wide, it is ignored.
Table 8 lists the five registers the 33977 uses to configure
the device, control the state of the [Chgd to two per D.

status information [that is deleted PV] clocked back to the
master. The registers are addressed via D15:D13 of the

REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
The following section describes the registers, their
addresses, and their impact on device operation.
ADDRESS 000 - POWER, ENABLE, CALIBRATION,
AND CONFIGURATION REGISTER (PECCR)
The Power, Enable, Calibration, and Configuration
Register is illustrated in Table 9. A write to the 33977 using
this register allows the master to:
• Enable or disable the output drivers of the gauge
controller
• Calibrate the internal clock
• Disable the air core emulation
• Select the direction of the pointer movement during
pointer positioning and zeroing
• Configure the device for the desired status information
to be clocked out into the SO pin, or
• Send a null command for the purpose of reading the
status bits.
This register is also used to place the 33977 into a low
current consumption mode.
The gauge drivers can be enabled by writing Logic [1] to
the assigned address bits, PE0. This feature could be used
to disable a driver if it is failing. The device can be placed into
a standby current mode by writing Logic [0] to PE0. During
this state, most current consuming circuits are biased off.
When in the Standby mode, the internal clock will remain ON.
The internal state machine utilizes a ROM table of step
times defining the duration that the motor will spend at each
microstep as it accelerates or decelerates to a commanded
position. The accuracy of the acceleration and velocity of the
motor is directly related to the accuracy of the internal clock
Although the accuracy of the internal clock is temperature
independent, the non-calibrated tolerance is +70% to -35%.
The 33977 was designed with a feature allowing the internal
clock to be software calibrated to a tighter tolerance of ±10%,
using the CS pin and a reference time pulse provided by the
microcontroller.
Calibration of the internal clock is initiated by writing Logic
[1] to PE3. The calibration pulse, which must be 8.0 µs for an
internal clock speed of 1.0 MHz, will be sent on the CS pin
immediately after the SPI word is sent. No other SPI lines will
be toggled. A clock calibration will be allowed only if the
gauge is disabled or the pointer is not moving, as indicated

by status bits MOV0. Additional details are provided in the
Internal clock Calibration section.
Some applications may require a guaranteed maximum
pointer velocity and acceleration. Guaranteeing these fall
below 1.0 MHz. The frequency range of the calibrated clock
maximums requires [that deleted PV] the nominal internal
clock frequency will always be below 1.0 MHz if bit PE4 is
Logic [0] when initiating a calibration command, followed by
an 8.0 µs reference pulse. The frequency will be centered at
1.0 MHz if bit PE4 is Logic [1]. Some applications may require
a slower calibrated clock due to a lower motor gear reduction
ratio. Writing Logic [1] to bit PE2 will slow the internal
oscillator by one-third. Slowing the oscillator accommodates
a longer calibration pulse without overrunning the internal
counter - a condition designed to generate a CAL fault
indication. For example, calibration for a clock frequency of
667 kHz would require a calibration pulse of 12 µs. Unless the
internal oscillator is slowed by writing PE2 to Logic [1], a 12
µs calibration pulse may overrun the counter and generate a
CAL fault indication.
Some applications may require faster pointer positioning
than is provided with the air core motor emulation feature.
Writing Logic [1] to bit PE5 will disable the air core emulation
for both gauges and provide an acceleration and deceleration
at the maximum that the velocity position ramp can provide.
Bit PE6 must always be written Logic [0] during all PECCR
writes if the device is being used to drive an MMT style motor.
Similarly, this bit must always be written as Logic [1] when
being used to control Switec style motors.
The default Pointer Position 0 (PE7 = 0) will be the farthest
counter-clockwise position. A Logic [1] written to bit PE7 will
change the location of the position 0 for the gauge to the
farthest clockwise position. The pointer will always move
towards position 0 when executing an RTZ. Exercise care
when writing to PECCR bit PE7 in order to prevent an
accidental change of the position 0 location.
Bits PE11:PE9 determine the content of the bits clocked
out of the SO pin. When bit PE11 is at Logic [0], the clocked
out bits will provide device status. If Logic [1] is written to bit
PE11, the bits clocked out of the SO pin, depending upon the
state of bits PE10:PE9, provides either:
• Accumulator information and detection status during
the RTZ (PE10 Logic [0])
• Real time pointer position location at the time CS goes
low (PE10 Logic [1] and PE9 Logic [0]), or
• The real time step position of the pointer as described
in the velocity Table 6 (PE10 and PE9 Logic [1]).
Additional details are provided in the SO Communication
section.
If bit PE12 is Logic [1] during a PECCR command, the
state of PE11:PE0 is ignored. This is referred to as the null
command and can be used to read device status without
affecting device operation.

The Gauge Maximum Velocity Register is used to set a
maximum velocity for the gauge (refer to Table 4). Bits V7:V0
contain a position value from 1 - 225 representative of the
velocity position value described in the Velocity Table,
Table 6. The table value becomes the maximum velocity until
it is changed to another value. If a maximum value is chosen
that is greater than the maximum velocity of the acceleration
table, the maximum table value becomes the maximum
velocity.
If the motor is turning at a speed greater than the new
maximum, the motor immediately moves down the velocity
ramp until the speed falls equal to or below it. Bit V8 must be
written to a Logic [1] when changing the maximum velocity of
the motor. Bits V12:V10 must be at Logic [0] for valid VELR
commands.

PO012 (D12)
This bits must be transmitted as Logic [0] for valid POSR
commands.
P011:P00 (D11:D0)
Desired pointer position of Gauge. Pointer positions can
range from 0 (000000000000) to position 4095
(111111111111). For a stepper motor requiring 12
microsteps per degree of pointer movement, the maximum
pointer sweep is 341.25° (4095 ÷ 12).
ADDRESS 100 - GAUGE RETURN TO ZERO
REGISTER (RTZR)
Gauge Return to Zero Register (RTZR), Table 12 below,
is written to return the gauge pointers to the zero position.
During an RTZ event, the pointer is returned to zero using full
Table 12. Gauge Return to Zero Register (RTZR)
steps, where only one coil is driven at any point in time. The
back electromotive force (EMF) signal present on the nondriven coil is integrated and its results are stored in an
accumulator. A Logic [1] written to bit RZ1 enables a Return
to Zero for the Gauge if RZ0 is Logic [0]. A Logic [0] written to
bit RZ1 disables a Return to Zero for the Gauge when RZ0 is
Logic [0].
Bits D12:D5 and D3:D2 must be written Logic [0] for valid
RTZR commands. An unconditional RTZ event can be
enabled or disabled with Bit RZ4. Writing Logic [0] results in
a typical RTZ event, automatically providing a Stop when a
stall condition is detected. A Logic [1] will result in RTZ
movement, causing a Stop if a Logic [0] is written to bit RZ0.
This feature is useful during development and
characterization of RTZ requirements.

ADDRESS 101 - GAUGE RETURN TO ZERO
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
Gauge Return to Zero Configuration Register (RTZCR) is
used to configure the Return to Zero Event, Table 13. It is
written to modify the: [listed as bullets for reading ease]
• Step time, or rate at which the pointer moves during an
RTZ event
• Integration blanking time, which is the time immediately
following the transition of a coil from a driven state to an
open state in the RTZ mode
• Threshold of the RTZ integration register
Values used for this register should be selected during
development to optimize the RTZ for each application.
Selecting an RTZ step rate resulting in consistently
successful zero detections depends on a clear understanding
of the motor characteristics. Specifically, resonant
frequencies exist due to the interaction between the motor
and the pointer. This command allows for the selection of an
RTZ pointer speed away from these frequencies. Also, some
motors require a significant amount of time for the pointer to
settle to a steady state position when moving from one full
step position to the next. Consistent and accurate integration
values require that the pointer be stationary at the end of the
full step time.
Bits RC3:RC0, RC12:RC11, and RC4 determine the time
spent at each full step during an RTZ event. Bits RC3:RC0
are used to select a ∆t ranging from 0 ms (0000) to 61.44 ms

(1111) in increments of 4.096 ms (refer to Table 14). The ∆t
is multiplied by the factor M, defined by bits RC12:RC11. The
product is then added to the blanking time, selected using bit
RC4, to generate the full step time. The multiplier selected
with RC12:RC11 will be 1 (00), 2 (01), or 4 (10) as illustrated
in the equations below. Note that the RC12:RC11 value of 8
(11) is not recommended for use in a product design
application, because of the potential for an RTZ accumulator
internal overflow, due to the long time step. The blanking time
is either 512 µs when RC4 is Logic [0], or 768 µs when it is
Logic [1].The full step time is calculated using the following
equations:
When D3:D0 (RC3:RC0) = 0000
Full Step (t) = ∆t x M+ blanking (t)
(1)
When D3:D0 (RC3:RC0) = 0000
Full Step (t) = blanking (t) + 2.048 ms (2)
Note: In equation (2), a 2.048 ms offset is added to the full
and is compared to a threshold. Values above the threshold
indicate a pointer is moving. Values below the threshold
indicate a stalled pointer, thereby resulting in the cessation of
the RTZ event.
The RTZ accumulator bits are signed and represented in
two’s complement. After a full step of integration, a sign bit of
0 is the indicator of an accumulator exceeding the decision
threshold of 0, and the pointer is assumed to still be moving.
Similarly, if the sign bit is Logic [1] after a full step of
integration, the accumulator value is negative and the pointer
is assumed to be stopped. The integrator and accumulator
are initialized after each full step. If the PECCR command is
written to clock out the RTZ accumulator values via the SO,
the OD14 bit corresponds to the sign bit of the RTZ
accumulator.
Accurate pointer stall detection depends on a correctly
preloaded accumulator for specific gauge, pointer, and full
step combinations. Bits RC10:RC5 are used to offset the
initial RTZ accumulator value, properly detecting a stalled
motor. The initial accumulator value at the start of a full step
of integration is negative. If the accumulator was correctly
preloaded, a free moving pointer will result in a positive value
at the end of the integration time, and a stalled pointer will
result in a negative value. The preloaded values associated
with each combination of bits RC10:RC5 are illustrated in
Table 15. The accumulator should be loaded with a value
resulting in an accumulator MSB to Logic [1] when the motor
is stalled. For the default mode, after a power-up or any reset,
the 33977 device sets the accumulator value to -1.
step time when the RC3:RC0 = 0000. The full step time
default value after a logic reset is 12.80 ms (RC12:RC11 =
00, RC4 = 0, and RC3:RC0 = 0011).
If there are two full steps per degree of pointer movement,
the pointer speed is 1/(Full Step x 2) deg/s.
Detecting pointer movement is accomplished by
integrating the EMF present in the non-driven coil during the
RTZ event. The integration circuitry is implemented using a
Sigma-Delta converter resulting in the placement of a value
in the 15-bit RTZ accumulator at the end of each full step. The
value in the RTZ accumulator represents the change in flux

FUNCTIONAL DEVICE OPERATION
LOGIC COMMANDS AND REGISTERS
SO COMMUNICATION
PECCR command determines the nature of the status data
that is clocked out of the SO pin. There are four different
types of status information available:
1. Device Status (Table 16)
2. RTZ Accumulator Status (Table 17)
3. Gauge Pointer Position Status (Table 18)
When the CS pin is pulled low, the internal status register,
as configured with the PECCR command bits PE11:PE8, is
loaded into the output register and the data is clocked out
MSB (OD15) first. Following a CS transition 0 to 1, the device
determines if the shifted-in message was of a valid length (a
valid message length is one that is greater than 0 bits and a
multiple of 16 bits) and, if so, latches the incoming data into
the appropriate registers. At this time, the SO pin is tri-stated
and the status register is now able to accept new status
information. Fault status information will be latched and held
until the Device Status Output register is selected and it is
clocked out via the SO. If the message length was
determined to be invalid, the fault information will not be
cleared and will be transmitted again during the next valid SPI
message. Pointer status information bits (e.g., pointer
position, velocity, and commanded position status) will
always reflect the real time state of the pointer. Any bits
clocked out of the SO pin after the first 16 are representative
of the initial message bits clocked into the SI pin since the CS
pin first transitioned to a Logic [0]. This feature is useful for
daisy-chaining devices as well as message verification. As
described above, the last valid write to bits PE11:PE8 of the

Once a specific status type is selected, it will not change

Status types and the PECCR bit necessary to select them ar
described in the following paragraphs.

A Logic [1] on this bit indicates that the coil drive circuitry
has exceeded the maximum allowable junction temperature
since the last SPI communication and that the Gauge has
been disabled. It is recommended that the pointer be recalibrated using the RTZ command after re-enabling the
gauge using the PECCR command. This bit remains Logic [1]
until the gauge is re-enabled.

The analog-to-digital converter's linear input range covers
the expected magnitude of motor back e.m.f. signals, which
is usually less than 500mV. Input signals greater than this will
not cause any damage (the circuit is connected to the motor
H-Bridge drivers, and thus is exposed to the full magnitude of
the drive voltages), but may cause some small loss of
linearity. A typical plot of output vs. input is shown in
Figure 13 for 4ms step times.

and deceleration ramps have been designed for applications
where smooth movement is of the highest priority. These
ramps are fixed and the characteristics can be seen in the
following figures. For applications where configurable pointer
response and damping are desirable, consider the features
of the MC33976. Figure 14 shows the characteristics of the
