AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver Data Sheet 1.0 Introduction The AMIS-30522 is a micro-stepping stepper motor driver for bipolar stepper motors. The chip is connected through I/O pins and a SPI interface with an external microcontroller. It has an on-chip voltage regulator, reset-output and watchdog reset, able to supply peripheral devices. AMIS-30522 contains a current-translation table and takes the next micro-step depending on the clock signal on the “NXT” input pin and the status of the “DIR” (=direction) register or input pin. The chip provides a so-called “speed and load angle” output. This allows the creation of stall detection algorithms and control loops based on load-angle to adjust torque and speed. It is using a proprietary PWM algorithm for reliable current control. The AMIS-30522 is implemented in I2T100 technology, enabling both high-voltage analog circuitry and digital functionality on the same chip. The chip is fully compatible with the automotive voltage requirements. The AMIS-30522 is ideally suited for general-purpose stepper motor applications in the automotive, industrial, medical, and marine environment. With the on-chip voltage regulator it further reduces the BOM for mechatronic stepper applications. 2.0 Key Features • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Dual H-Bridge for 2-phase stepper motors Programmable peak-current up to 1.6A using a 5-bit current DAC On-chip current translator SPI interface Speed and load angle output Seven step modes from full step up to 32 micro-steps Fully integrated current-sense PWM current control with automatic selection of fast and slow decay Low EMC PWM with selectable voltage slopes Active fly-back diodes Full output protection and diagnosis Thermal warning and shutdown Compatible with 5V and 3.3V microcontrollers Integrated 5V regulator to supply external microcontroller Integrated reset function to reset external microcontroller Integrated watchdog function 3.0 Ordering information Table 1: Ordering Information Part No. AMIS-30522 ANA Package Peak Current Temp.

In order to take full advantage of this thermal performance, the PCB must have features to conduct heat away from the package. A thermal grounded pad with thermal via’s can achieve this. With a layout as shown in Figure 3: PCB Ground Plane Layout Condition, the thermal resistance junction – to – ambient can be brought down to a level of 30°C/W.

Each H-bridge consists of two low-side and two high-side N-type MOSFET switches. Writing logic ‘0’ in bit <MOTEN> disables all drivers (high-impedance). Writing logic ‘1’ in this bit enables both bridges and current can flow in the motor stator windings. In order to avoid large currents through the H-bridge switches, it is guaranteed that the top- and bottom-switches of the same halfbridge are never conductive simultaneously (interlock delay). A two-stage protection against shorts on motor lines is implemented. In a first stage, the current in the driver is limited. Secondly, when excessive voltage is sensed across the transistor, the transistor is switched off. In order to reduce the radiated/conducted emission, voltage slope control is implemented in the output switches. The output slope is defined by the gate-drain capacitance of output transistor and the (limited) current that drives the gate. There are two trimming bits for slope control (Table 27: SPI Control Parameter Overview EMC[1:0]). The power transistors are equipped with so-called “active diodes”: when a current is forced trough the transistor switch in the reverse direction, i.e. from source to drain, then the transistor is switched on. This ensures that most of the current flows through the channel of the transistor instead of through the inherent parasitic drain-bulk diode of the transistor. Depending on the desired current range and the micro-step position at hand, the Rdson of the low-side transistors will be adapted such that excellent current-sense accuracy is maintained. The Rdson of the high-side transistors remain unchanged, see Table 5: DC Parameters for more details. 8.2 PWM Current Control A PWM comparator compares continuously the actual winding current with the requested current and feeds back the information to a digital regulation loop. This loop then generates a PWM signal, which turns on/off the H-bridge switches. The switching points of the PWM duty-cycle are synchronized to the on-chip PWM clock. The frequency of the PWM controller can be doubled and an artificial jitter can be added (Table 16: SPI Control Register 1). The PWM frequency will not vary with changes in the supply voltage. Also variations in motor-speed or load-conditions of the motor have no effect. There are no external components required to adjust the PWM frequency. 8.2.1. Automatic Forward and Slow-Fast Decay The PWM generation is in steady-state using a combination of forward and slow-decay. The absence of fast-decay in this mode, guarantees the lowest possible current-ripple “by design”. For transients to lower current levels, fast-decay is automatically activated to allow high-speed response. The selection of fast or slow decay is completely transparent for the user and no additional parameters are required for operation.

Automatic Duty Cycle Adaptation In case the supply voltage is lower than 2*Bemf, then the duty cycle of the PWM is adapted automatically to >50% to maintain the requested average current in the coils. This process is completely automatic and requires no additional parameters for operation. The over-all current-ripple is divided by two if PWM frequency is doubled (Table 16: SPI Control Register 1).

Step Mode The step translator provides the control of the motor by means of SPI register Stepmode: SM[2:0], SPI register DIRCNTRL, and input pins DIR and NXT. It is translating consecutive steps in corresponding currents in both motor coils for a given step mode. One out of seven possible stepping modes can be selected through SPI-bits SM[2:0] (Table 28: SPI Control Parameter Overview SM[2:0]) After power-on or hard reset, the coil-current translator is set to the default 1/32 micro-stepping at position ‘0’. Upon changing the step mode, the translator jumps to position 0* of the corresponding stepping mode. When remaining in the same step mode, subsequent translator positions are all in the same column and increased or decreased with 1. Table 10 lists the output current vs. the translator position. As shown in Figure 8 the output current-pairs can be projected approximately on a circle in the (Ix,Iy) plane. There is, however, one exception: uncompensated half step. In this step mode the currents are not regulated to a fraction of Imax but are in all intermediate steps regulated at 100 percent. In the (Ix,Iy) plane the current-pairs are projected on a square. Table 9 lists the output current vs. the translator position for this case.

NXT Update Translator Position Update Translator Position PC20070604.4 Figure 10: Translator Position Timing Diagram 8.3.5. Synchronization of Step Mode and NXT Input When step mode is re-programmed to another resolution (Table 15: SPI Control Register 0), then this is put in effect immediately upon the first arriving “NXT” input. If the micro-stepping resolution is increased (Figure 11), then the coil currents will be regulated to the nearest micro-step, according to the fixed grid of the increased resolution. If however the micro-stepping resolution is decreased, then it is possible to introduce an offset (or phase shift) in the micro-step translator table. If the step resolution is decreased at a translator table position that is shared both by the old and new resolution setting, then the offset is zero and micro-stepping is proceeds according to the translator table. If the translator position is not shared both by the old and new resolution setting, then the micro-stepping proceeds with an offset relative to the translator table (See Figure 10 right hand side).

Whenever this parameter is changed, the coil-currents will be updated immediately at the next PWM period. More information can be found in Table 26: SPI Control Parameter Overview CUR[4:0]. 8.5 Speed and Load Angle Output The SLA-pin provides an output voltage that indicates the level of the Back-e.m.f. voltage of the motor. This Back-e.m.f. voltage is sampled during every so-called "coil current zero crossings". Per coil, two zero-current positions exist per electrical period, yielding in total four zero-current observation points per electrical period. VBEMF ICOIL t ZOOM Previous Micro-step ICOIL Coil Current Zero Crossing Next Micro-step Current Decay Zero Current t VCOIL VBB Voltage Transient VBEMF t PC20070604.7 Figure 12: Principle of Bemf Measurement Because of the relatively high recirculation currents in the coil during current decay, the coil voltage VCOIL shows a transient behavior. As this transient is not always desired in application software, two operating modes can be selected by means of the bit <SLAT> (see "SLA-transparency" in Table 17: SPI Control Register 2). The SLA pin shows in "transparent mode" full visibility of the voltage transient behavior. This allows a sanity-check of the speed-setting versus motor operation and characteristics and supply voltage levels. If the bit “SLAT” is cleared, then only the voltage samples at the end of each coil current zero crossing are visible on the SLA-pin. Because the transient behavior of the coil voltage is not visible anymore, this mode generates smoother Back e.m.f. input for post-processing, e.g. by software. In order to bring the sampled Back e.m.f. to a descent output level (0 to 5V), the sampled coil voltage VCOIL is divided by 2 or by 4. This divider is set through an SPI bit <SLAG>.

PC20070604.8 Figure 13: Timing Diagram of SLA-pin 8.6 Warning, Error Detection and Diagnostics Feedback 8.6.1. Thermal Warning and Shutdown When junction temperature rises above TTW, the thermal warning bit <TW> is set (Table 29: SPI Status Register 0). If junction temperature increases above thermal shutdown level, then the circuit goes in “Thermal Shutdown” mode (<TSD>) and all driver transistors are disabled (high impedance) (Table 31: SPI Status Register 2). The conditions to reset flag <TSD> is to be at a temperature lower than TTW and to clear the <TSD> flag by reading it using any SPI read command. 8.6.2. Over-Current Detection The over-current detection circuit monitors the load current in each activated output stage. If the load current exceeds the over-current detection threshold, then the over-current flag is set and the drivers are switched off to reduce the power dissipation and to protect the integrated circuit. Each driver transistor has an individual detection bit in AMI Semiconductor – June 2007, M-20684-001 www.amis.com 14 AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver Data Sheet Table 30: SPI Status Register 1 and (Table 31: SPI Status Register 2 (<OVCXij> and <OVCYij>). Error condition is latched and the microcontroller needs to clean the status bits to reactivate the drivers. 8.6.3. Open Coil Detection Open coil detection is based on the observation of 100 percent duty cycle of the PWM regulator. If in a coil 100 percent duty cycle is detected for longer than 200ms then the related driver transistors are disabled (high-impedance) and an appropriate bit in the SPI status register is set (<OPENX> or <OPENY>). (Table 29: SPI Status Register 0) 8.6.4. Charge Pump Failure The charge pump is an important circuit that guarantees low Rdson for all drivers, especially for low supply voltages. If supply voltage is too low or external components are not properly connected to guarantee Rdson of the drivers, then the bit <CPFAIL> is set in Table 29: SPI Status Register 0. Also after POR the charge pump voltage will need some time to exceed the required threshold. During that time <CPFAIL> will be set to “1”. 8.6.5. Error Output This is a digital output to flag a problem to the external microcontroller. The signal on this output is active low and the logic combination of: NOT(ERRB) = <TW> OR <TSD> OR <OVCXij> OR < OVCYij> OR <OPENi> OR <CPFAIL> 8.7 Logic Supply Regulator AMIS-30522 has an on-chip 5V low-drop regulator with external capacitor to supply the digital part of the chip, some low-voltage analog blocks and external circuitry. The voltage is derived from an internal bandgap reference. To calculate the available drive-current for external circuitry, the specified Iload should be reduced with the consumption of internal circuitry (unloaded outputs) and the loads connected to logic outputs. See Table 5. 8.8 Power-On Reset (POR) Function The open drain output pin PORB/WD provides an “active low” reset for external purposes. At power-up of AMIS-30522, this pin will be kept low for some time to reset for example an external microcontroller. A small analog filter avoids resetting due to spikes or noise on the VDD supply.

Once this bit has been set to “1” (watchdog enable), the microcontroller needs to re-write this bit to clear an internal timer before the watchdog timeout interval expires. AMI Semiconductor – June 2007, M-20684-001 www.amis.com 15 AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver Data Sheet In case the timer is activated and WDEN is acknowledged too early (before tWDPR) or not within the interval (after tWDTO), then a reset of the microcontroller will occur through PORB/WD pin. In addition, a warm/cold boot bit <WD> is available in Table 29: SPI Status Register 0 for further processing when the external microcontroller is alive again.

The duration of the watchdog timeout interval is programmable through the WDT[3:0] bits (Table 14: SPI Control Register WR). The timing is given in Table 13.

To reset the complete digital inside AMIS-30522, the input CLR needs to be pulled to logic 1 during minimum time given by TCLR. (Table 6: AC Parameters). This reset function clears all internal registers without the need of a power-cycle. The operation of all analog circuits is depending on the reset state of the digital, charge pump remains active. Logic 0 on CLR pin resumes normal operation again. The voltage regulator remains functional during and after the reset and the PORB/WD pin is not activated. Watchdog function is reset completely. 8.11 Sleep Mode The bit <SLP> in Table 17: SPI Control Register 2 is provided to enter a so-called “sleep mode”. This mode allows reduction of currentconsumption when the motor is not in operation. The effect of sleep mode is as follows: • • • • • • • The drivers are put in HiZ All analog circuits are disabled and in low-power mode All internal registers are maintaining their logic content NXT and DIR inputs are forbidden SPI communication remains possible (slight current increase during SPI communication) Reset of chip is possible through CLR pin Oscillator and digital clocks are silent, except during SPI communication The voltage regulator remains active but with reduced current-output capability (ILOADSLP). The watchdog timer stops running and it’s value is kept in the counter. Upon leaving sleep mode, this timer continues from the value it had before entering sleep mode. Normal operation is resumed after writing logic ‘0’ to bit <SLP>. A start-up time is needed for the charge pump to stabilize. After this time, NXT commands can be issued. AMI Semiconductor – June 2007, M-20684-001 www.amis.com 17 AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver Data Sheet 9.0 SPI Interface The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is used to allow external microcontroller (MCU) to communicate with the device. The implemented SPI block is flexible enough to interface directly with numerous microcontrollers from several manufacturers. AMIS-30522 acts always as a slave and it can’t initiate any transmission. The operation of the device is configured and controlled by means of SPI registers, which are observable for read and/or write from the master. 9.1 SPI Transfer Format and Pin Signals During an SPI transfer, data is simultaneously transmitted (shifted out serially) and received (shifted in serially). A serial clock line (CLK) synchronizes shifting and sampling of the information on the two serial data lines (DO and DI). DO signal is the output from the slave, and DI signal is the output from the master. A slave select line (CSB) allows individual selection of a slave SPI device in a multipleslave system. The CSB line is active low. If AMIS-30522 is not selected, DO is in high impedance state and it does not interfere with SPI bus activities. Since AMIS-30522 always clocks data out on the falling edge and samples data in on rising edge of clock, the MCU SPI port must be configured to match this operation. SPI clock idles low between the transferred bytes. The diagram below is both a master and a slave timing diagram since CLK, DO and DI pins are directly connected between the master and the slave. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 MSB 6 5 4 3 2 1 LSB 6 5 4 3 2 1 LSB CLK (Idles Low) DI (From Master) DO (From Slave) MSB (1) CSB Note (1): MSB of data stored on the new address (see Transfer packet). The internal data-out shift buffer of AMIS-30522 is updated with new content only at the last (every eighth) falling edge of the CLK signal. Figure 16: Timing Diagram of an SPI Transfer 9.2 Transfer Packet Serial data transfer is assumed to follow MSB first rule. The transfer packet contains one or more 8-bit characters (bytes). MSB LSB Command and Address Cmd2 Cmd1 Cmd0 Addr4 Addr3 Addr2 Addr1 Addr0 MSB LSB Data byte Data7 - Data0 The first byte contains command and SPI register address and will be sent upfront of the packet to indicate to AMIS-30522 the chosen register and the type of operation. There are two possible commands for the master in normal operation mode of AMIS-30522: • READ from SPI register: Cmd2 = 0 • WRITE to SPI register: Cmd2 = 1 AMI Semiconductor – June 2007, M-20684-001 www.amis.com 18 AMIS-30522 Micro-stepping Motor Driver Data Sheet WRITE command executed for read-only register will not affect the register and the device operation. In case of READ command the data byte is optional. If a byte is transmitted after READ command it is also interpreted as a command (see examples below). If the master reads data from a status register (SPI Status Register Description), then the most significant bit (Data 7) represents a parity of Data6 to Data0 bits. If the number of logical ones in the data is odd then the parity bit equals 1. If the number of logical ones is even then the parity bit equals 0. This is a simple mechanism to protect against noise and to verify the correct transmission operation and the consistency of the status data. If a parity check error occurs, the master could initiate an additional READ command to obtain the status again. The CSB line is active low and may remain low between each successive READ commands. There is only one exception of this rule: if error condition is latched in status register (SPI Status Register Description) and the master needs to clear the status bits then exactly after READ command of a latched status register CSB line should go from low to high. This is explained in the following note: Note: The status registers and ERRB pin (SPI Status Register Description) are updated by the internal system clock only when CSB line is high. It is recommended to keep the CSB line high always when the SPI bus is idle. If the master sends WRITE command, then the incoming data will be stored in the corresponding register only if CSB goes from low to high. The writing to the register is only enabled if exactly 16 bits are transmitted within one transfer packet. If more or less clock pulses are counted within one packet the complete packet is ignored. AMIS-30522 responds on every incoming byte by shifting out the data stored on the last address sent via the bus. After POR the initial address is unknown. The following examples illustrate communication sessions between the master and AMIS-30522: CSB Master 305xx AddrA Read AddrB Write DataC AddrB Read AddrB Read Last Addr Data AddrA DataA AddrB DataB AddrB DataB AddrB DataC DataC is written in AddrB on rising edge of CSB Figure 17: Example SPI Transfer In this example, the master reads first the status from AddrA and then writes control byte in AddrB. After write operation the master could initiate a read back command in order to verify the data just written. Note that the first verification read operation returns the old content of AddrB, the second read command returns the new AddrB data. Note: The internal data out shift buffer of AMIS-30522 is updated with the content of the selected SPI register only at the last (every eighth) falling edge of the CLK signal (SPI Transfer Format and Pin Signals). As a result, new data for transmission cannot be written to the shift buffer at the beginning of the transfer packet and the first byte shifted out might represent old data. This rule also applies when the master device wants to initiate an SPI transfer to read the status registers. Because the internal system clock updates the status registers only when CSB line is high, the first read out byte might represent an old status (see Figure 18 and Figure 19).

A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in the AMIS “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages” (document order number 9398 652 90011). There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards (PCB) with high population densities. In these situations re-flow soldering is often used. 11.2 Re-flow Soldering Re-flow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied to the PCB by screen printing, stencilling or pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement. Several methods exist for re-flowing; for example, infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven. Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary between 100 and 200 seconds depending on the heating method. Typical reflow peak temperatures range from 215 to 260°C. The top-surface temperature of the packages should preferably be kept below 230°C. 11.3 Wave Soldering Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended for surface mount devices (SMDs) or PCBs with a high component density, as solder bridging and non-wetting can present major problems. To overcome these problems, the double-wave soldering method was specifically developed. If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be observed for optimal results: • Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a smooth laminar wave. • For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e): •Larger than or equal to 1.27mm, the footprint longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the transport direction of the PCB; •Smaller than 1.27mm, the footprint longitudinal axis must be parallel to the transport direction of the PCB. The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the downstream end. • For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must be placed at a 45º angle to the transport direction of the PCB. The footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners. During placement and before soldering, the package must be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe dispensing. The package can be soldered after the adhesive is cured. Typical dwell time is four seconds at 250°C. A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of corrosive residues in most applications. 11.4 Manual Soldering Fix the component by first soldering two diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24V or less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead. Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to 300°C. When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be soldered in one operation within two to five seconds between 270 and 320°C.

Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the drypack information in the “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods.” These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the PCB and heatsink (at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version). If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction. The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65mm. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65mm; it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5mm.
