Description
The SPMD250STP is a drive module that directly
interface a microprocessor to a two phase,
bipolar, permanent magnet stepper motors.
The phase current is chopper controlled, and the
internal phase sequence generation reduces the
burden of the controller and it simplifies software
development. The SPMD250STP has PowerMOS
outputs to significantly reduce both commutation
and conduction losses. A further benefit offered
by the SPMD250STP is the complete protection
of the outputs against any type of shorts.

Bipolar stepper motor basics
Simplified to the bare essentials, a bipolar permanent magnet motor consists of a rotatingpermanent magnet surrounded by stator poles carrying the windings (Figure 5).
Figure 5.
Simplified bipolar two phase motor
Bidirectional drive current is imposed on windings A-B and C-D and the motor is stepped by
commutating the voltage applied to the windings in sequence. For a motor of this type there
are three possible drive sequences.
5.1
One-phase-on or wave drive
Only one winding is energized at any given time according to the sequence :
AB - CD - BA - DC
(BA means that the current is flowing from B to A).
Fig. 6 shows the sequence for a clockwise rotation and the corresponding rotor position.
5.2
Two-phase-on or normal drive
This mode gives the highest torque since two windings are energized at any given time
according to the sequence (for clockwise rotation).
AB & CD ; CD & BA ; BA & DC ; DC & AB
Figure 7 shows the sequence and the corresponding position of the rotor.
10/29
SPMD250STP
5.3
Bipolar stepper motor basics
Half step drive
This sequence halves the effective step angle of the motor but gives a less regular torque
being one winding or two windings alternatively energized.
Eight steps are required for a complete revolution of the rotor.
The sequence is:
AB ; AB & CD ; CD ; CD & BA ; BA ; BA & DC ; DC ; DC & AB
as shown in fig. 8.
By the configurations of fig. 6, 7, 8 the motor would have a step angle of 90 ° (or 45 ° in half
step). Real motors have multiple poles pairs to reduce the step angle to a few degrees but
the number of windings (two) and the drive sequence are unchanged.

Phase sequence generation inside the device
Phase sequence generation inside the device
The modules contains a three bit counter plus some combinational logic which generate
suitable phase sequences for half step, wave and normal full step drive. This 3 bit counter
generates a basic eight-step Gray code master sequence as shown
in fig. 9. To select this sequence, that corresponds to half step mode, the HALF/FULL input
(pin 4) must be kept high or unconnected.
The full step mode (normal and wave drive) are both obtained from the eight step master
sequence by skipping alternate states. This is achieved by forcing the step clock to bypass
the first stage of the 3 bit counter. The least significant bit of this counter is not affected and
therefore the generated sequence depends on the state of the counter when full step mode
is selected by forcing pin 4 (HALF/FULL) low. If full step is selected when the counter is at
any odd-numbered state, the twophase-on (normal mode) is implemented (see Figure 10).
On the contrary, if the full mode is selected when the counter is at an even-numbered state,
the one-phase-on (wave drive) is implemented (see Figure 11).

RESET, ENABLE and HOME signals
RESET, ENABLE and HOME signals
The RESET is an asynchronous reset input which restores the module to the home position
(state 1 : ABCD = 0101). Reset is active when low.
The HOME output signals this condition and it is intended to be ANDed with the output of a
mechanical home position sensor.
The ENABLE input is used to start up the module after the system initialization. ENABLE is
active when high or unconnected.
8
Motor current regulation
The two bipolar winding currents are controlled by two internal choppers in a PWM mode to
obtain good speed and torque characteristics.
An internal oscillator supplies pulses at the chopper frequency to both choppers.
When the outputs are enabled, the current through the windings raises until a peak value set
by Ioset and Rsense (see the equivalent block diagram) is reached. At this moment the
outputs are disabled and the current decays until the next oscillator pulse arrives.
The decay time of the current can be selected by the CONTROL input (pin 10). If the
CONTROL input is kept high or open the decay is slow, as shown in Figure 12, where the
equivalent power stage and the voltages on A and B are shown as well as the current
waveform on winding AB.
When the CONTROL input is forced low, the decay is fast as shown in fig. 13.
The CONTROL input is provided on SPMD250STP to allow maximum flexibility in application.
If the modules must drive a large motor that does not store much energy in the windings, the
chopper frequency must be decreased: this is easily obtained by connecting an external
capacitor between OSC pin and GND1.
In these conditions a fast decay (CONTROL LOW) would impose a low average current and
the torque could be inadequate. By selecting CONTROL HIGH, the average current is
increased thanks to the slow decay.
When the m odule is used in the fast-decay mode it is recommended to connect external
fast recovery, low drop diodes between each phase output and the supply return (GND).
The slow-decay should be the preferred operating recirculation mode because of the lower
power dissipation and low noise operations.

9.1
Supply voltage
The recommended operating maximum supply voltage must include the ripple voltage for
the Vs rail, and a 5 V ± 5 % for the Vss line is required.
The two supply voltages must to be correctly sequenced to avoid any possible erroneous
positioning of the power stages. The correct power-up and power-down sequences are:
●
Power-up
1.Vss (5 V) is applied with Enable = Low
2. Vs (the motor supply voltage) is applied
3. Enable is brougth High
●
Power-down
1.Enable is brougth Low
2. Vs is switched off
3. Vss is switched off.
9.2
Case grounding
The module case is internally connected to pin 1 and 13. To obtain additional effective EMI
shield, the PCB area below the module can be used as an effective sixth side shield.
9.3
Thermal characteristics
The case-to-ambient thermal resistance is 5 °C/W. This produces a 50 °C temperature
increase of the module surface for 10 W of internal dissipation.
According to ambient temperature and/or to power dissipation, an additional heatsink or
forced ventilation may be required. (See derating curves Figure 16).
9.4
Supply line impedance
The module has an internal capacitor connected accross the supply pins (18 and 13) to
assure the circuit stability. This capacitor cannot handle high values of current ripple, and
would be permanently damaged if the primary energy source impedance is not adequate.
The use of a low ESR, high ripple current 470 µF capacitor located as close to the module
as possible is recommended.
When space is a limitation, a 22 µF ceramic multilayer capacitor connected across the
module input pins must be used.

SPMD250STP
Module protections
The SPMD250STP outputs are protected against short circuits to Gnd, Vs and to another
output. When the current exceeds the maximum value, the output is automatically disabled.
The module protection is of the latching type, i.e. when an overload condition is detected the
unit outputs are disabled. To restart the operations it is necessary to disable the unit
(pin 11 = Low) or to switch off the supply voltage for at least 100 ms.
9.6
Motor connection
The motor is normally quite far from the module and long cables are needed for connection.
The use of a twisted pair cable with appropriate cross section for each motor phase is
recommended to minimize DC losses and RFI problems.
9.7
Unused inputs
All the SPMD250STP logic inputs have an internal pull-up, and they are high when
unconnected.
9.8
Phase current programming
The output current is factory set to a standard 2 A value.
The phase current value can be changed by connecting an appropriate resistor between pin
9 and ground or Vss (see Figure 14). In the first case the phase current will decrease, in the
latter it will increase.
The maximum phase current must be limited to 2.5 A, to avoid permanent damage to the
module.

Chopper frequency programming
The chopper frequency is internally set to 17 kHz, and it can be changed by addition of
external components as follows. To increase the chopper frequency a resistor must be
connected between Oscillator (pin 8) and Vss (pin 12, see Figure 15). The resistor value is
calculated according to the formula:
Equation 3

Rf = --------------- = kΩ

where
fc = kHz
Rf ≥ 18kΩ
To decrease the chopper frequency a capacitor must be connected between Oscillator (pin
8) and Gnd1 (pin 1). The capacitor value is calculated according to the formula:

Multi modules application
Multi modules application
In complex systems, many motors must be controlled and driven. In such a case more than
one SPMD250STP must be used.
To avoid chopper frequencies noise and beats, all the modules should be synchronized.
If all the motors are relatively small, the fast decay may be used, the chopper frequency
does not need any adjustement and Figure 17 shows how to synchronize several modules.
When at least one motor is relatively large a lower chopper frequency and a slow decay may
be required: In such a case the overall system chopper frequency is determined by the
largest motor in the system as shown in Figure 18.

Thermal operating conditions
Thermal operating conditions
In many cases the modules do not require any additional cooling because the dimensions
and the shape of the metal box are studied to offer the minimum possible thermal resistance
case-to-ambient for a given volume.
It should be remembered that these modules are a power device and, depending on
ambient temperature, an additional heath-sink or forced ventilation or both may be required
to keep the unit within safe temperature range. (Tcasemax < 85 °C during operation).
The concept of maximum operating ambient temperature is totally meaningless when
dealing with power components because the maximum operating ambient temperature
depends on how a power device is used.
What can be unambiguously defined is the case temperature of the module.
To calculate the maximum case temperature of the module in a particular applicative
environment the designer must know the following data:
●
Input voltage
●
Motor phase current
●
Motor phase resistance
●
Maximum ambient temperature
From these data it is easy to determine whether an additional heath-sink is required or not,
and the relevant size i.e. the thermal resistance.
The step by step calculation is shown for the following example.
Vin = 40 V, Iphase = 1 A, Rph Phase resistance = 10 Ω, max. TA = 50 °C
●
Calculate the power dissipated from the indexer logic and the level shifter (see
electrical characteristics):
Plogic = (5 V x 60 mA) + (40 V x 20 mA) = 1.1 W
●
Calculate the average voltage across the winding resistance:
Vout = (Rph x Iout) = 10Ω ζ 1A = 10 V
●
Calculate the required ON duty cycle (D.C.) of the output stage to obtain the average
voltage (this D.C. is automatically adjusted by the SPMD250STP):
V OUT 10
DC = -------------= ------ = 0.25
40
V IN
●
Calculate the power dissipation of the SPMD250STP output power stage. The power
dissipation depends on two main factors:
–
the selected operating mode (FAST or SLOW DECAY)
–
the selected drive sequence (WAVE, NORMAL, HALF STEP)
FAST DECAY. For this mode of operation, the internal voltage drop is Vsatsource + Vsatsink
during the ON period i.e. for 25 % of the time.
During the recirculation period (75 % of the time), the current recirculates on two internal
diodes that have a voltage drop Vd = 1 V, and the internal sense resistor (0.5 Ω). For this
example, by assuming maximum values for conservative calculations, the power dissipation
during one cycle is:
Ppw = 1.1 x [2 Vsat x Iph x D.C. + 2 Vd x Iph x (1 - D.C.) + 0.5 x Iph]
23/29
Thermal operating conditions
SPMD250STP
Ppw = 1.1 x [2x1.8x1x0.25+2x1x1x0.75 + 0.5 x1]
Ppw = 1.1 x [0.9 + 1.5 + 0.5] = 3.19 W
The factor 1.1 takes into account the power dissipation during the switching transient.
SLOW DECAY. The power dissipation during the ON period is the same. The
RECIRCULATION is made internally through a power transistor (Vsatsink) and a diode. The
power dissipation is, therefore:
Ppw = 1.1x [2 Vsat x Iph x D.C.+(Vsat+Vd) x Iph x (1-D.C.)]
Ppw = 1.1x [2 x 1.8 x 1 x 0.25 + (1.8 + 1) x 1 x 0.75]
Ppw = 1.1 x [0.9 + 2.1] = 3.3 W
WAVE MODE. When operating in this mode the power dissipation is given by values of
FAST and SLOW DECAY mode, because one phase is energized at any given time.
NORMAL MODE. At any given time, two windings are always energized. The power
dissipation of the power output stage is therefore multiplied by a factor 2.
HALF STEP. The power sequence, one-phase-on, two-phase-on forces the power
dissipation to be 1.5 times higher than in WAVE MODE when the motor is running. In stall
condition the worst case for power dissipation is with two-phase-on i.e. a power dissipation
as in NORMAL MODE.
The following table summarizes the power dissipations of the output power stage of the
SPMD250STP when running for this example:

Calculate the total power dissipation for the SPMD250STP :
Ptot = Plogic + Ppw
In this example, for slow decay and normal mode
Ptot = 1.1 + 6.6 = 7.7 W
●
The case temperature can now be calculated:
Tcase = Tamb + (Ptot x Rth) = 55 + (7.7 x 5) = 93.5 °C
●
If the calculated case temperature exceeds the maximum allowed case temperature, as
in this example, an external heat-sink is required and the thermal resistance can be
calculated according to:
