Microstepping provides improved resolution without limiting step rates, and provides much smoother low-speed motor operation. An automated, innovative packaging technology combined with power NMOS FETs and monolithic CMOS logic/control circuitry advances power multi-chip modules (PMCMs™) toward the complete integration of motion control. Each half of these stepper motor controller/drivers operate independently. The 4-bit shift registers are serially loaded with motor phase information and output current-ratio data (eight levels). The combination of user-selectable current-sensing resistor, linearly adjustable reference voltage, and digitally selected output current ratio provides users with a broad, variable range of of full, half, and microstepping motor control (IOUT ≈ [VREF/3 • RS] • Current Ratio).

The avalanche-rated (≥100 V) FETs provide excellent ON resistance, improved body diodes, and very-fast switching. The multi-chip ratings and performance afford significant benefits and advantages for stepper drives when compared to the higher dissipation and slower switching speeds associated with bipolar transistors. Highly automated manufacturing techniques provide low-cost and exceptionally reliable PMCMs suitable for controlling and directly driving a broad range of 2-phase, unipolar stepper motors. The SLA7042M and SLA7044M are identical except for rDS(on) and output current ratings. Complete applications information is given on the following pages. PWM current is regulated by appropriately choosing current-sensing resistors, a voltage reference, and digitally programmable current ratio. Inputs are compatible with 5 V logic and microprocessors.

Each half of the device operates independently, although the CLOCK inputs may be connected together and the STROBE inputs may be connected together. Pulling VREF/EN low (<2.5 V) allows the 4bit shift registers to be serially loaded with motor phase and output currrent ratioing data. The first bit selects the motor phase (logic high = Output A or B, logic low = Output A or B); the next three bits determine the motor current ratio (eight steps, 0% to 100%). The internal D/A converter, in conjunction with a current-sensing resistor and input reference voltage, completes the microstepping current control. Pulling VREF/EN high (within 1 V of VDD) resets the shift register and latches to turn the MOS drivers OFF and inhibits the serial DATA input. 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 ™ SLA7042M AND SLA7044M MICROSTEPPING, UNIPOLAR PWM, HIGH-CURRENT MOTOR CONTROLLER/DRIVERS REGULATING THE PWM OUTPUT CURRENT SERIAL DATA INPUT ENABLE The output current (and motor coil current) waveform is illustrated in Figure 1. Setting the maximum PWM current trip point to meet the specified full-step running current for the motor, IOUT max (DATA input = 111X = 100% ratio), requires only a current-sensing resistor, RS, and an input reference voltage, VREF/EN , between 0.4 V and 2.5 V. In a minimum-component application, a voltage divider provides VREF/EN and an npn transistor provides the required pull-down to enable the serial data input as shown in Figure 2. IOUT max ≈ IOUT max ≈ R2 R1 + R2 Vb • 3 • RS VREF/EN 3 • RS µP STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL I OUT PHASE A 0 PHASE A Alternative REFERENCE/ENABLE input configurations provide for more complete motor control. A tri-state logic element and a voltage divider allows a fixed reference voltage, with both output disable and data enable functions. Complete µP control is usually accomplished with a D/A converter as shown in Figure 3. Here, digital control provides an output disable (>VDD - 1 V), VREF, and VEN (<2.5 V). Dwg.

The next three bits set the step reference voltage ratio and PWM OFF time as shown in the Characteristics Tables — the least-significant bit first and the most-significant bit last. The serial DATA input port is enabled (active low) by the REFERENCE/ENABLE input. When VREF/EN is between 0.4 V and 2.5 V, information on the DATA input is read into the shift register on each high-to-low transition of the CLOCK. Data written into the serial data port is latched and becomes active on a high-to-low transition at STROBE.

With VREF/EN greater than V DD - 1 V, the serial DATA input port is disabled, the outputs are OFF, and the controller/driver will not be affected by changes at the DATA, CLOCK, or STROBE inputs. Analyzing safe, reliable operation includes a concern for the relationship of NMOS ON resistance to junction temperature. Device package power calculations must include the increase in ON resistance (producing higher output ON voltages) caused by higher operating junction temperatures. Figure 5 provides a normalized ON resistance curve, and all thermal calculations should consider increases from the given +25°C limits, which may be caused by internal heating during normal operation. In a typical (SLA7042M) application where VDD = 5 V, a VREF/EN between 0.4 V and 2.5 V, and a maximum allowable load current of 1.2 A, the maximum value of RS is 0.69 Ω and IOUTmin is 0.11 A when SRCR is 100% (DATA input = 111X). POWER DISSIPATION CALCULATIONS The SLA7042/44M normally do not require special heat sinking except under unusual circumstances (two phases operating near maximum output current and TA >65°C). However, as with all power drivers, the basic constituents of power dissipation should be evaluated. Conduction losses (internal power dissipation) include: (a) FET output power dissipation (IOUT2 • rDS(on) or IOUT • VDS(ON)), (b) FET body diode power dissipation (VSD • IOUT), and (c) control circuit power dissipation (VDD • IDD ). PACKAGE RATINGS/DERATING FACTORS Thermal calculations must also consider the temperature effects on the output FET ON resistance. The applicable thermal ratings for the 18-lead power-tab SIP PMCM package are: RθJA = 28°C/W (junction to ambient with no heat sink) or 4.5 W at +25°C and a derating factor of -36 mW/°C for operation above +25°C. RθJM = 5°C/W (junction to mounting surface). 2.5 NORMALIZED FET ON RESISTANCE With VREF/EN between 0.4 V and 2.5 V, the output current limit is a linear function of VREF and the step reference current ratio.
