This reference voltage is stabilized when the supply voltage is variable. (2) Sawtooth wave & One-Shot Generator Connect a capacitor to CT pin will generate a triangular wave by constant current charging. A typical value is 0.1uF. The constant current is determined by a resistor connected to RT pin. A typical capacitor of approximately 0.1uF should be connected in parallel with the resistor to increase stability. ©Copyright Agamem Microelectronics Inc. 3 www.agamem.com.tw 2008/5/5 AGAMEM MICROELECTRONICS INCOPERATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO ANY PRODUCTS HEREIN TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY, FUNCTION OR DESIGN.

Agamem Microelectronics Inc. PRELIMINARY AA51881 SERVO MOTOR CONTROLLER (3) Servo Position & Over-Time logic This circuitry consists of a pulse width comparator, which compares the servo position detection signal (POT pin) from the one-shot timer (CT pin) whose period depends on the resistance of a potentiometer connected to the servo's drive shaft. This feedback is what provides the stability for the control circuitry. (4) Pulse Stretcher The difference between the servo control signal and the feedback signal is the error signal. This error signal is used to toggle the direction the current flows through the servo. The function of this pulse stretcher is to “stretch” the small error signal long enough and increases the duty cycle to the motor for it can maintain sufficient holding force. The circuit also implements a “dead band” function that prevents servo jitter and hunting. This is a range over which differences between the input and reference signals will not cause servo operation. When the signal differences exceed this “dead band” range, drive to the motor occurs. Servo’s drive shaft. The dead band will change according to the value of resistor connected to the RDB pin. (5) Directional Logic Control The comparator circuit compares pulses from the servo control input (VIN pin) and the voltage controlled pulse generator and provides either a positive or a negative output depending on whether the signal pulse width is larger or smaller than the position generator’s output pulse (POT pin). Application of this error voltage to the motor driver circuit causes the motor to turn in a direction that will minimize the error until both pulse widths are the same. (6) PWM Control This signal generated by directional logic control block is used to control a flip-flop that toggles the direction the current flows through the motor. The outputs of the flip-flop drive an H-Bridge output driver block that handles the high current going through the motor. This blocks output will be turned on or off with each input pulse based on the status of the directional logic. The PWM drive techniques provide the benefits of reduced power dissipation, improved servo motor performance and positively affect system efficiency. (7) Output driver The output driver controls the servo current direction. For light load application, the servo can be connected with OUT1 and OUT2 pin only. For heavy load application, the EXP1 and EXP2 pin will be connected to the base of the external PNP transistor. It drives in an H-bridge configuration (The sink NPN drivers are built inside the chip). ©Copyright Agamem Microelectronics Inc. 4 www.agamem.com.tw 2008/5/5 AGAMEM MICROELECTRONICS INCOPERATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO ANY PRODUCTS HEREIN TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY, FUNCTION OR DESIGN.
