4.1
Power stages and charge pump
The L6226Q integrates two independent power MOS full bridges. Each power MOS has an
RDS(on) = 0.73 Ω (typical value @ 25 °C), with intrinsic fast freewheeling diode. Cross
conduction protection is achieved using a dead time (td = 1 μs typical) between the switch
off and switch on of two power MOS in one leg of a bridge.
Using N-channel power MOS for the upper transistors in the bridge requires a gate drive
voltage above the power supply voltage. The bootstrapped (VBOOT) supply is obtained
through an internal oscillator and few external components to realize a charge pump circuit
as shown in Figure 5. The oscillator output (VCP) is a square wave at 600 kHz (typical) with
10 V amplitude. Recommended values/part numbers for the charge pump circuit are shown
in Table 6.

Circuit description
Logic inputs
Pins IN1A, IN2A, IN1B, IN2B, ENA and ENB are TTL/CMOS and microcontroller compatible
logic inputs. The internal structure is shown in Figure 6. Typical value for turn-on and turn-off
thresholds are respectively Vthon = 1.8 V and Vthoff = 1.3 V.
Pins ENA and ENB are commonly used to implement overcurrent and thermal protection by
connecting them respectively to the outputs OCDA and OCDB, which are open-drain
outputs. If that type of connection is chosen, some care needs to be taken in driving these
pins. Two configurations are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. If driven by an open drain
(collector) structure, a pull-up resistor REN and a capacitor CEN are connected as shown in
Figure 7. If the driver is a standard push-pull structure the resistor REN and the capacitor
CEN are connected as shown in Figure 8. The resistor REN should be chosen in the range
from 2.2 kΩ to 180 kΩ. Recommended values for REN and CEN are respectively 100 kΩ and
5.6 nF. More information on selecting the values is found in the overcurrent protection
section.

Non-dissipative overcurrent detection and protection
An overcurrent detection circuit (OCD) is integrated. This circuit can be used to provides
protection against a short circuit to ground or between two phases of the bridge as well as a
roughly regulation of the load current. With this internal over current detection, the external
current sense resistor normally used and its associated power dissipation are eliminated.
Figure 9 shows a simplified schematic of the overcurrent detection circuit for the bridge A.
bridge B is provided of an analogous circuit.
To implement the over current detection, a sensing element that delivers a small but precise
fraction of the output current is implemented with each high side power MOS. Since this
current is a small fraction of the output current there is very little additional power
dissipation. This current is compared with an internal reference current IREF. When the
output current reaches the detection threshold Isover the OCD comparator signals a fault
condition. When a fault condition is detected, an internal open drain MOS with a pull down
capability of 4 mA connected to OCD pin is turned on. Figure 10 shows the OCD operation.
This signal can be used to regulate the output current simply by connecting the OCD pin to
EN pin and adding an external R-C as shown in Figure 9. The off time before recovering
normal operation can be easily programmed by means of the accurate thresholds of the
logic inputs.
IREF and, therefore, the output current detection threshold are selectable by RCL value,
following the equations:
●
Isover = 2.8 A ± 30 % at -25 °C < TJ < 125 °C if RCL = 0 Ω
(PROGCL connected to GND)
●
Isover =
11050
---------------R CL
±10 % at -25 °C < TJ < 125 °C if 5 kΩ < RCL < 40 kΩ
Figure 11 shows the output current protection threshold versus RCL value in the range 5 kΩ
to 40 kΩ.
The disable time tDISABLE before recovering normal operation can be easily programmed by
means of the accurate thresholds of the logic inputs. It is affected whether by CEN and REN

values and its magnitude is reported in Figure 12. The delay time tDELAY before turning off
the bridge when an overcurrent has been detected depends only by CEN value. Its
magnitude is reported in Figure 13.
CEN is also used for providing immunity to pin EN against fast transient noises. Therefore
the value of CEN should be chosen as big as possible according to the maximum tolerable
Delay Time and the REN value should be chosen according to the desired Disable Time.
The resistor REN should be chosen in the range from 2.2 kΩ to 180 kΩ. Recommended
values for REN and CEN are respectively 100 kΩ and 5.6 nF that allow obtaining 200 μs
disable time.

Thermal protection
In addition to the overcurrent detection, the L6226Q integrates a thermal protection for
preventing the device destruction in case of junction over temperature. It works sensing the
die temperature by means of a sensible element integrated in the die. The device switch-off
when the junction temperature reaches 165 °C (typ. value) with 15 °C hysteresis (typ.
value).

Application information
Application information
A typical application using L6226Q is shown in Figure 14. Typical component values for the
application are shown in Table 8. A high quality ceramic capacitor in the range of 100 to 200
nF should be placed between the power pins (VSA and VSB) and ground near the L6226Q
to improve the high frequency filtering on the power supply and reduce high frequency
transients generated by the switching. The capacitors connected from the ENA/OCDA and
ENB/OCDB nodes to ground set the shut down time for the bridge A and bridge B
respectively when an over current is detected (see overcurrent protection). The two current
sources (SENSEA and SENSEB) should be connected to power ground with a trace length
as short as possible in the layout. To increase noise immunity, unused logic pins are best
connected to 5 V (high logic level) or GND (low logic level) (see pin description). It is
recommended to keep power ground and Signal Ground separated on PCB.

Paralleled operation
Paralleled operation
The outputs of the L6226Q can be paralleled to increase the output current capability or
reduce the power dissipation in the device at a given current level. It must be noted,
however, that the internal wire bond connections from the die to the power or sense pins of
the package must carry current in both of the associated half bridges. When the two halves
of one full bridge (for example OUT1A and OUT2A) are connected in parallel, the peak
current rating is not increased since the total current must still flow through one bond wire on
the power supply or sense pin. In addition the over current detection senses the sum of the
current in the upper devices of each bridge (A or B) so connecting the two halves of one
bridge in parallel does not increase the over current detection threshold.
For most applications the recommended configuration is half bridge 1 of bridge A paralleled
with the half bridge 1 of the bridge B, and the same for the half bridges 2 as shown in
Figure 15. The current in the two devices connected in parallel will share very well since the
RDS(on) of the devices on the same die is well matched.
When connected in this configuration the over current detection circuit, which senses the
current in each bridge (A and B), will sense the current in upper devices connected in
parallel independently and the sense circuit with the lowest threshold will trip first. With the
enables connected in parallel, the first detection of an over current in either upper DMOS
device will turn of both bridges. Assuming that the two DMOS devices share the current
equally, the resulting over current detection threshold will be twice the minimum threshold
set by the resistors RCLA or RCLB in Figure 15. It is recommended to use RCLA = RCLB.
In this configuration the resulting bridge has the following characteristics.

Figure 15. Parallel connection for higher current
To operate the device in parallel and maintain a lower over current threshold, half bridge 1
and the half bridge 2 of the bridge A can be connected in parallel and the same done for the
bridge B as shown in Figure 16. In this configuration, the peak current for each half bridge is
still limited by the bond wires for the supply and sense pins so the dissipation in the device
will be reduced, but the peak current rating is not increased.
When connected in this configuration the over current detection circuit, senses the sum of
the current in upper devices connected in parallel. With the enables connected in parallel,
an over current will turn of both bridges. Since the circuit senses the total current in the
upper devices, the over current threshold is equal to the threshold set the resistor RCLA or
RCLB in Figure 16. RCLA sets the threshold when outputs OUT1A and OUT2A are high and
resistor RCLB sets the threshold when outputs OUT1B and OUT2B are high.
It is recommended to use RCLA = RCLB.
In this configuration, the resulting bridge has the following characteristics.

It is also possible to parallel the four half bridges to obtain a simple half bridge as shown in
Figure 17. In this configuration the, the over current threshold is equal to twice the minimum
threshold set by the resistors RCLA or RCLB in Figure 17. It is recommended to use
RCLA = RCLB.
The resulting half bridge has the following characteristics.

Output current capability and IC power dissipation
Output current capability and IC power dissipation
In Figure 18 and Figure 19 are shown the approximate relation between the output current
and the IC power dissipation using PWM current control driving two loads, for two different
driving types:
●
One full bridge ON at a time (Figure 18) in which only one load at a time is energized.
●
Two full bridges ON at the same time (Figure 19) in which two loads at the same time
are energized.
For a given output current and driving type the power dissipated by the IC can be easily
evaluated, in order to establish which package should be used and how large must be the
on-board copper dissipating area to guarantee a safe operating junction temperature
(125 °C maximum).

Thermal management
In most applications the power dissipation in the IC is the main factor that sets the maximum
current that can be deliver by the device in a safe operating condition. Therefore, it has to be
taken into account very carefully. Besides the available space on the PCB, the right package
should be chosen considering the power dissipation. Heat sinking can be achieved using
copper on the PCB with proper area and thickness. For instance, using a VFQFPN32L 5x5
package the typical Rth(JA) is about 42 °C/W when mounted on a double-layer FR4 PCB with
a dissipating copper surface of 0.5 cm2 on the top side plus 6 cm2 ground layer connected
through 18 via holes (9 below the IC).
