* Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate device
thermal shutdown circuitry. These conditions
can be tolerated, but should be avoided.
The A3940KLP and A3940KLW are designed specifically for
automotive applications that require high-power motors. Each provides
four high-current gate drive outputs capable of driving a wide range of
n-channel power MOSFETs in a full-bridge configuration.
Bootstrap capacitors are utilized to provide the above-battery
supply voltage required for n-channel FETs. An internal charge pump
for the high side allows for dc (100% duty cycle) operation of the
bridge.
Protection features include supply under/overvoltage, thermal
shutdown, and motor lead short-to-battery and short-to-ground fault
notification, and a programmable dead-time adjustment for crossconduction prevention. The overvoltage trip point is user adjustable.
The A3940 is supplied in a choice of two power packages, a 28lead TSSOP with an exposed thermal pad (suffix LP), and a 28-lead
wide-body SOIC (suffix LW).
FEATURES
! Drives wide range of n-channel MOSFETs
! Charge pump to boost gate drive at low-battery-input conditions
! Bootstrapped gate drive with charge pump for 100% duty cycle
! Synchronous rectification
! Fault diagnostic output
! Adjustable dead-time cross-conduction protection
! Motor lead short-to-battery and short-to-ground protection
! Undervoltage/overvoltage protection
! -40°C to +150°C, TJ operation

Terminal Descriptions
CA/CB. High-side connection for bootstrap capacitor, positive
supply for high-side gate drive. The bootstrap capacitor is
charged to VREG13 – 1.5 V when the output Sx terminal is low.
When the output swings high, the voltage on this terminal rises
with the output to provide the boosted gate voltage needed for nchannel power MOSFETs.
GLA/GLB. Low-side gate drive outputs for external, n-channel
MOSFET drivers. External series gate resistors can control slew
rate seen at the power driver gate.
GND. Common ground and dc supply returns. Exposed
thermal pad of LP package is NOT internally connected to
GND.
RESET. Control input to put device into minimum power
consumption mode and to clear latched faults. Logic “1”
enables the device; logic “0” triggers the sleep mode. Internally
pulled down via 50 kΩ resistor.
LSS. Low-side gate drivers’ return. Connects to the common
sources in the low-side of the power MOSFET bridge. It is the
reference connection for the short-to-battery monitor.
ENABLE. Logic “1” enables direct control of the output
drivers via the PHASE input, as in PWM controls, and ignores
the MODE and SR inputs. Internally pulled down via 50 kΩ
resistor.
OVSET. A positive, dc level that controls the VBB overvoltage
trip point. Usually, provided from precision resistor divider
network between VREG5 and GND. If connected directly to
VREG5, sets unspecified but high overvoltage trip point, effectively eliminating the overvoltage protection.
MODE. Logic input to set the current decay mode. Logic “1”
(slow-decay mode) switches off the high-side MOSFET in
response to a PWM “off” command. Logic “0” (fast-decay
mode) switches off both the high-side and low-side MOSFETs.
Internally pulled down via 50 kΩ resistor.
PHASE. Motor direction control. When logic “1”, enables
gate drive outputs GHA and GLB allowing current flow from
SA to SB. When logic “0”, enables GHB and GLA allowing
current flow from SB to SA. Internally pulled down via 50 kΩ
resistor.
SR. When logic “1”, enables synchronous rectification; logic
“0” disables the synchronous rectification. Internally pulled
down via 50 kΩ resistor.
FAULT. Open drain, diagnostic logic output signal. When
logic “1”, indicates that one or more fault conditions have
occurred. Use an external pullup resistor to VREG5 or to digital
controller. Internally causes a coast when asserted. See also
Functional Description, next page.
IDEAD. Analog current set by resistor (12 kΩ<RDEAD<500 kΩ)
to ground. In conjunction with LONG, determines dead time
between GHx and GLx transitions of same phase. VIDEAD = 2 V.
LONG. When logic “1”, selects long dead time between GHx
and GLx transitions of same phase. When logic “0”, selects
short dead times. Internally pulled down via 50 kΩ resistor.
GHA/GHB. High-side gate-drive outputs for n-channel
MOSFET drivers. External series gate resistors can control slew
rate seen at the power driver gate.
8
SA/SB. Directly connected to the motor terminals, these
terminals sense the voltages switched across the load and are
connected to the negative side of the bootstrap capacitors. Also,
are the negative supply connection for the floating, high-side
drivers.
VBB. Positive supply voltage. Usually connected to the motor
voltage supply. If VBB is above a specified level or below a
specified level, a fault will be asserted.
VDRAIN. Kelvin connection for drain-to-source voltage (shortto-ground) monitor and is connected to high-side drains of the
MOSFET bridge. Also used to detect “open drain”.
VDSTH. A positive, dc level that sets the short-to-ground and
short-to-battery monitor threshold voltage. If the drain-source
voltage exceeds this level (after the dead time) during an “on”
state, a fault will be asserted.
CP1 [CP2]. Charge pump capacitor negative [positive] side. If
not using the charge pump, leave both terminals open.
VCP. Charge pump output for VREG13 input. If not using the
charge pump, connect this terminal to VBB.
VIN. Positive supply voltage for the VREG13 linear regulator.
Usually connected to VCP, the charge-pump output gate drive.
If not using the charge pump, connect VIN to VBB or other dc
supply greater than 11 V.
VREG13. High-side, gate-driver supply. If VREG13 falls below
a specified level, a fault will be asserted.
VREG5. Regulated 5 V output for internal logic.

MOSFET CONTROLLER
Functional Description
Motor Lead Protection. A fault detection circuit monitors
the voltage across the drain to source of the external MOSFETs.
A fault is asserted “high” on the output terminal, FAULT, if the
drain-to-source voltage of any MOSFET that is instructed to turn
on is greater than the voltage applied to the VDSTH input terminal.
When a high-side switch is turned on, the voltage from VDRAIN to
the appropriate motor phase output, VSX, is examined. If the
motor lead is shorted to ground the measured voltage will
exceed the threshold and the FAULT terminal will go “high”.
Similarly, when a low-side MOSFET is turned on, the differential voltage between the motor phase (drain) and the LSS
terminal (source) is monitored. VDSTH is set by a resistor divider
to VREG5.
To prevent erroneous motor faults during switching, the
fault circuitry will wait two dead times after every PWM/phase
change before monitoring the drain-to-source voltage; except, it
will use one dead time for (1) a long coast to any phase on, or
(2) a long hi-Z before on for that phase. This allows time for the
motor output voltage to settle before checking for motor fault
when using slow rise/fall gate-control waveforms.
The VDRAIN is intended to be a Kelvin connection for the
high-side, drain-source monitor circuit. Voltage drops across
the power bus are eliminated by connecting an isolated PCB
trace from the VDRAIN terminal to the drain of the MOSFET
bridge. This allows improved accuracy in setting the VDSTH
threshold voltage. The low-side, drain-source monitor uses the
LSS terminal, rather than VDRAIN, in comparing against VDSTH.
Fault States. The FAULT terminal provides real time
indication of fault conditions after some digital noise filtering.
The VDRAIN fault acts as if a short-to-ground fault existed on
every motor phase. Bridge (or motor) faults are latched but
cleared by a RESET = 0 pulse or by power cycling. GHx = GLx
= 0 during RESET = 0. The undervoltage, overvoltage, and
thermal shutdown faults are not latched and will not reset until
the cause is eliminated. All faults cause, via the FAULT line, a
coast and some cause shutdown of the regulators, as in the Fault
Responses table (next page).
Note: As a test mode, if the thermal shutdown or SLEEP has not

mode and regulator shutdowns will not occur if motor or voltage
faults occur. Do not wire-OR this terminal to other FAULT
lines.

Dead Time. The A3940 is intended to drive a wide range of
power MOSFETs in applications requiring a wide range of
switching times. In order to prevent cross conduction (a.k.a.
shoot-through) during direction and PWM changes, a power
MOSFET must be turned off before its “phase-pin mate” is
turned on.
tDEAD(ns) = K([18.8RDEAD(kΩ)] + 50) + 90
where K = 1 for LONG = 0; K = 32 for LONG = 1.
Note: IDEAD(mA) ≈ 2/RDEAD(kΩ), 12 kΩ<RDEAD<500 kΩ.
Sleep Mode. RESET = 0 clears any latched motor faults
while driving all gate drive outputs low (coast). Eventually,
RESET = 0 turns off all circuits to allow minimum current draw.
GHx and GLx outputs go high impedance (Z) when VREG13 <
4 V. RESET = 1 enables the device after it powers up all
circuits. The user should wait the pump-up time, tup, to allow the
device to be powered up properly before a gate output is
enabled.
Charge Pump. The A3940 is designed to accommodate a
wide range of power supply voltages. The charge pump output
voltage, VCP, is regulated to VBB + 11 V (or about 2VBB if
VBB < 11 V).
VREG13. A 13.3 V, low-dropout, linear regulator is used to
power the low-side gate drive circuit directly and to provide the
current to charge the bootstrap capacitors for the high-side gate
drive. The input supply connection to this regulator, VIN, can
be externally connected to the charge pump output, VCP, or it
can be directly connected to the VBB or VBAT terminal.
Internal current limiting protects VREG13.
VREG5. A 5 V, low-dropout, linear regulator is used to power
the internal logic, regulators, and thermal detection. This
regulator can also power low-current external resistor networks
for VDSTH and OVSET, and the FAULT output pull-up. The
input supply connection is VBB. Internal current limiting
protects VREG5.
Power-Up State. If the input logic is open, internal pulldowns put the system in coast mode on powering up. First, issue
a brake command for >10 µs to charge the bootstrap capacitors
and avoid a possible short-to-ground fault indication.

NOTES: " = These faults are latched but will clear during RESET = 0 pulse. GHx = GLx = 0 during RESET = 0, except see '.
Other faults will not clear except when their cause is removed.
# = Short-to-battery can only be detected when the corresponding GLx = 1.
$ = Short-to-ground can only be detected when the corresponding GHx = 1.
% = Bridge fault appears as a short-to-ground fault on all motor phases.
& = Not instructed off but may be low voltage because of the fault indicated.
' = During undervoltage conditions, the low sides of GHx and GLx are instructed to be “on” so that the outputs are
low = 0; however, with VREG13 < 4 V, the outputs will start to open (become high impedance). See “Sleep Mode”.
