For PWM current control, the maximum output current is
determined by the user’s selection of a reference voltage and sensing
resistor. A PHASE input to each bridge determines load current
direction. Active low ENABLE inputs control the four drivers in
each bridge.

The A2918SWH and A2918SWV motor drivers are designed
to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally
control two dc motors. All bridges are capable of sustaining 45 V and
include internal pulse-width modulation (PWM) control of the output
current to 1.5 A.

The bridges include both ground clamp and flyback diodes for
protection against inductive transients. Internally generated delays
prevent cross-over currents when switching current direction.
Special power-up sequencing is not required. Thermal protection
circuitry disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe
operating limits.

PWM MOTOR DRIVER
PWM OUTPUT CURRENT WAVEFORM
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PWM Current Control
The A2918SWH/V dual bridges are
designed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper
motor. Output current is sensed and controlled
independently in each bridge by an external sense
resistor (RS), an internal comparator, and an internal
monostable multivibrator.
V PHASE
+
I OUT
0
When the bridge is turned ON, current increases
in the motor winding and it is sensed by RS until the
sense voltage (VSENSE) reaches the level set at the
comparator’s input:
–
I TRIP
td
ITRIP = VREF/10 RS
t off
Dwg. WM-003-1A
The comparator then triggers the monostable which
turns OFF the source driver of the bridge. The actual
load current peak will be slightly higher than the trip
point (especially for low-inductance loads) because of
internal logic and switching delays. This delay (td) is
2 µs typically. After turn-off, the motor current decays,
circulating through the ground clamp diode and sink
transistor. The source driver’s OFF time toff, and
therefore the magnitude of the current decrease, is
determined by the monostable’s external RC timing
components, where toff = RTCT within the range of 20
kΩ to 100 kΩ and 200 pF to 500 pF.
When the source driver is re-enabled, the winding
current (the sense voltage) again is allowed to rise to
the comparator’s threshold. This cycle repeats itself,
maintaining the average motor winding current at the
desired level.
Special circuitry has been included to prevent
runaway current control when toff is set too short.
This circuitry prevents the source driver from being
re-enabled until the load current has decayed to
below the ITRIP level.
Loads with high distributed capacitances may result
in high turn-ON current peaks. This peak, appearing
across RS, will attempt to trip the comparator, resulting
in possible erroneous current control or high-frequency
oscillations. An external RCCC low-pass filter may be
used to delay the action of the comparator, and thus
ignore turn-on spikes.

General
LOAD CURRENT PATHS
To avoid excessive voltage spikes on the
LOAD SUPPLY pin (VBB), a large-value
capacitor (≥47 µF) should be connected from
VBB to the ground pin as close as possible to
the device. Under no circumstances should
the voltage at VBB exceed 45 V.
V
BB
The PHASE input to each bridge
determines the direction motor winding
current flows. An internally generated
deadtime, of approximately 3 µs, prevents
crossover currents that can occur when
switching the PHASE input.
All four drivers in the bridge output can
be turned OFF, with VEN ≥ 2.4, resulting in
a fast current decay through the internal
ground clamp and flyback diodes. The fast
current decay is desirable in half-step and
high-speed applications. The ENABLE input
must be tied low if it is not used.
Varying the reference voltage (VREF)
provides continuous control of the peak load
current.
Thermal protection circuitry turns OFF all
drivers when the junction temperature
reaches approximately +170°C. It is
intended only to protect the device from
failures due to excessive junction
temperature and should not imply that output
short circuits are permitted. The output
drivers are re-enabled when the junction
temperature cools to approximately +145°C.
