The reference voltage is input from the xVREF pin. The full-scale (100%) chopping current is calculated as follows: 5 (1) Example: If a 0.22-Ω sense resistor is used and the VREFx pin is 3.3 V, the full-scale (100%) chopping current is 3.3 V/(5 * 0.22 Ω) = 1.875 A. The reference voltage is also scaled by an internal DAC that allows torque control for fractional stepping of a bipolar stepper motor, as described in the "microstepping indexer" section below. Decay Mode During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive through the motor winding until the PWM current chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 2 as case 1. The current flow direction shown indicates positive current flow in the step table below. Once the chopping current threshold is reached, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or slow decay. In fast decay mode, once the PWM chopping current level has been reached, the H-bridge reverses state to allow winding current to flow in a reverse direction. As the winding current approaches zero, the bridge is disabled to prevent any reverse current flow. Fast-decay mode is shown in Figure 2 as case 2. In slow-decay mode, winding current is re-circulated by enabling both of the low-side FETs in the bridge. This is shown in Figure 2 as case 3.

Mixed decay mode begins as fast decay, but after a period of time (75% of the PWM cycle) switches to slow decay mode for the remainder of the fixed PWM period. Mixed decay mode is only active if the current through the winding is decreasing (per the indexer step table); if the current is increasing, then slow decay is always used. Slow or mixed decay mode is selected by the state of the xDECAY pins - logic low selects slow decay, and logic high selects mixed decay operation. Blanking Time After the current is enabled in an H-bridge, the voltage on the xISEN pin is ignored for a fixed period of time before enabling the current sense circuitry. This blanking time is fixed at 3.75 ms. Note that the blanking time also sets the minimum on time of the PWM. Microstepping Indexer Built-in indexer logic in the DRV8821 allows a number of different stepping configurations. The xUSM1 and xUSM0 pins are used to configure the stepping format as shown in the table below: xUSM1 xUSM0 0 0 Full step (2-phase excitation) STEP MODE 0 1 ½ step (1-2 phase excitation) 1 0 1/4 step (W1-2 phase excitation) 1 1 Eight microsteps/steps The following table shows the relative current and step directions for different settings of xUSM1 and xUSM0. At each rising edge of the xSTEP input, the indexer travels to the next state in the table. The direction is shown with the DIR pin high; if the xDIR pin is low the sequence is reversed. Positive current is defined as xOUT1 = positive with respect to xOUT2. Note that the home state is 45 degrees. This state is entered at power-up, during sleep mode, or application of xRESETn. Motor AB and motor CD act independently, and their indexer logic functions identically.

It also disables the H-bridge drivers. The xSTEP input is ignored while xRESETn is active. Note that there is a separate xRESETn pin for each motor; each acts only on one of the two motor controllers. The xENABLEn pin is used to control the output drivers. When xENBLn is low, the output H-bridges are enabled. When xENBLn is high, the H-bridges are disabled and the outputs are in a high-impedance state.. Note that there is a separate xENBLn pin for each motor; each acts only on one of the two motor drivers. Note that when xENBLn is high, the input pins and control logic, including the indexer (xSTEP and xDIR pins) are still functional. Driving both ABENBLn and CDENBLn high will put the device into a low power sleep state. In this state, the H-bridges are disabled, both indexers are reset to the home state, the gate drive charge pump is stopped, and all internal clocks are stopped. In this state all inputs are ignored until one or both of the xENBLn pits return active low. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): DRV8821 DRV8821 www.ti.com SLVS912E – JANUARY 2009 – REVISED AUGUST 2010 Protection Circuits The DRV8821 is fully protected against undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature events. Overcurrent Protection (OCP) All of the drivers in DRV8821 are protected with an OCP (Over-Current Protection) circuit. The OCP circuit includes an analog current limit circuit, which acts by removing the gate drive form each output FET if the current through it exceeds a preset level. This circuit will limit the current to a level that is safe to prevent damage to the FET. A digital circuit monitors the analog current limit circuits. If any analog current limit condition exists for longer than a preset period, all drivers in the device will be disabled. The device is re-enabled upon the removal and re-application of power at the VM pins. Thermal Shutdown (TSD) If the die temperature exceeds safe limits, all drivers in the device will be shut down. The device will remain disabled until the die temperature has fallen to a safe level. After the temperature has fallen, the device may be re-enabled upon the removal and re-application of power at the VM pin. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) If at any time the voltage on the VM pins falls below the undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry in the device will be disabled. Operation will resume when VM rises above the UVLO threshold. The indexer logic will be reset to its initial condition in the event of an undervoltage lockout. Shoot-Through Current Prevention The gate drive to each FET in the H-bridge is controlled to prevent any cross-conduction (shoot through current) during transitions.

If the die temperature exceeds approximately 150°C, the device will be disabled until the temperature drops to a safe level. Any tendency of the device to enter thermal shutdown is an indication of either excessive power dissipation, insufficient heatsinking, or too high an ambient temperature. Power Dissipation Power dissipation in the DRV8821 is dominated by the power dissipated in the output FET resistance, or RDS(ON). Average power dissipation when running a stepper motor can be roughly estimated by Equation 2. PTOT = 4 · RDS(ON) · (IOUT(RMS)) 2 (2) where PTOT is the total power dissipation, RDS(ON) is the resistance of each FET, and IOUT(RMS) is the RMS output current being applied to each winding. IOUT(RMS) is equal to the approximately 0.7x the full-scale output current setting. The factor of 4 comes from the fact that there are two motor windings, and at any instant two FETs are conducting winding current for each winding (one high-side and one low-side). Remember that the DRV8821 has two stepper motor drivers, so the power dissipation of each must be added together to determine the total device power dissipation. The maximum amount of power that can be dissipated in the DRV8821 is dependent on ambient temperature and heatsinking. The thermal dissipation ratings table in the datasheet can be used to estimate the temperature rise for typical PCB constructions. Note that RDS(ON) increases with temperature, so as the device heats, the power dissipation increases. This must be taken into consideration when sizing the heatsink. Heatsinking The PowerPAD™ package uses an exposed pad to remove heat from the device. For proper operation, this pad must be thermally connected to copper on the PCB to dissipate heat. On a multi-layer PCB with a ground plane, this can be accomplished by adding a number of vias to connect the thermal pad to the ground plane. On PCBs without internal planes, copper area can be added on either side of the PCB to dissipate heat. If the copper area is on the opposite side of the PCB from the device, thermal vias are used to transfer the heat between top and bottom layers. For details about how to design the PCB, refer to TI application report SLMA002, " PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package" and TI application brief SLMA004, " PowerPAD™ Made Easy", available at www.ti.com. In general, the more copper area that can be provided, the more power can be dissipated. Figure 3 shows thermal resistance vs. copper plane area for both a single-sided PCB with 2-oz copper heatsink area, and a 4-layer PCB with 1-oz copper and a solid ground plane. Both PCBs are 76 mm x 114 mm, and 1.6 mm thick. It can be seen that the heatsink effectiveness increases rapidly to about 20 cm2, then levels off somewhat for larger areas. Six pins on the center of each side of the package are also connected to the device ground. A copper area can be used on the PCB that connects to the PowerPAD™ as well as to all the ground pins on each side of the device. This is especially useful for single-layer PCB designs. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2009–2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): DRV8821 DRV8821 www.ti.com SLVS912E – JANUARY 2009 – REVISED AUGUST 2010 70 65 Thermal Resistance (RqJA) - °C/W 60 55 50 45 Low-K PCB (2 layer) 40 35 30 High-K PCB (4 layer with ground plane) 25 20 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 2 Backside Copper Area - cm Figure 3.
