AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet General Description The chip receives high-level positioning instructions through the interface and subsequently drives the motor coils until the desired position is reached. The on-chip position controller is configurable (OTP and Interface) for different motor types, positioning ranges and parameters for speed, acceleration, and deceleration. The AMIS-30621 is a member of a stepper motordriver family with position controller and control/diagnostics interface integrated in one single chip. The family consists of two products: • AMIS-30621 with LIN interface, ready to build dedicated mechatronics solutions connected remotely with a LIN master. • AMIS-30622 with SERIAL interface, ready to act as peripheral device next to a microcontroller. The AMIS-30621 acts as a slave on the bus and the master can fetch specific status information like actual position, error flags, etc. from each individual slave node. Features Motordriver LIN Interface • Microstepping (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16) • Low resonance & noise • High resolution • Programmable peak current up to 800mA • 20kHz PWM current-control • Automatic selection of fast & slow decay mode • Internal fly-back FETs • Fully integrated current sense • 8V-29V supply voltage • Automotive compliant • Full diagnostics and status information • Physical - and data-link-layer (conform to LIN rev. 1.3) • Dynamically allocated indentifiers • Up to 128 node addresses Controller with RAM and OTP Memory Power Saving • Position controller • Configurable speeds, acceleration and deceleration • Flexible hold-current • Movement/position sensor-input • Optional stall detection • Power-down supply current <50µA • 5V regulator with wake-up on LIN activity Protection • Over-current protection • Under-voltage management • Over-voltage protection • High-temp warning and shutdown • Low-temp warning • LIN bus short-circuit protection to supply & ground EMI compatibility • Power drivers with slope control Applications and Benefits demands on the master microcontroller. The bus structure simplifies PCB track-layout and/or wiring architectures. The AMIS-30621 is ideally suited for small positioning applications. Target markets include: automotive (headlamp alignment, HVAC, idle control, cruise), industrial equipment (lighting, fluid control, labeling, process, XYZ tables) and building automation (HVAC, surveillance, satellite dish positioning). Suitable applications typically have multiple axes or require mechatronic solutions with the driver chip mounted directly on the motor. Microstepping operation removes the design trade-off between minimal operation speed and avoiding the risk of noise and step-loss due to resonance phenomena. The stalldetection feature (optional) offers silent, yet accurate position-calibrations during the referencing run and allows semi-closed loop operation when approaching the mechanical end-stops. The high abstraction level of the products’ command set reduces the load of the processor on the master side. Scaling of the application towards number of axes is straight-forward: hardware - and software designs are extended in a modular way, without severely effecting the All these benefits result in reduced system-cost and timeto-market and improved technical performance.

Under special circumstances it is possible to change the Vmax parameter while a motion is ongoing. All 16 entries for the Vmax parameter are divided into four groups. When changing Vmax during a motion the application must take care that the new Vmax parameter stays within the same group.

The Motordriver receives the control signals from the control logic. It mainly features: • Two H-bridges designed to drive a two separated coils stepper motor. Each coil (X and Y) is driven by one Hbridge, and the driver controls the currents flowing through the coils. It also receives feedback from the motordriver part in order to manage possible problems and decide about internal actions and reporting to the LIN interface. The rotational position of the rotor, in unloaded condition, is defined by the ratio of current flowing in X and Y. The torque of the stepper motor when unloaded is controlled by the magnitude of the currents in X and Y. • The control block for the H-bridges including the PWM control, the synchronous rectification and the internal current sensing circuitry • The charge pump to allow driving of the H-bridges’ high side transistors. • Two pre-scale 4-bit DACs to set the maximum magnitude of the current through X and Y. • Two DACs to set the correct current ratio through X and Y. 9.1.3 LIN Interface The LIN interface implements the physical layer and the MAC and LLC layers according to the OSI Reference Model. It provides and gets information to and from the Control logic block, in order to drive the stepper motor, to configure the way this motor must be driven, or to get information such as actual position or diagnosis (temperature, battery voltage, electrical status…) and pass it to the LIN master node. 9.1.4 Miscellaneous The AMIS-30621 also implements the followings: • An internal oscillator, needed for the LIN protocol handler as well as for the Control logic and for the PWM control of the motordriver. • An internal trimmed voltage source for precise referencing. • A protection block featuring a Thermal Shutdown and a Power-on-reset circuit. • A 5V regulator (from the battery supply) to supply the internal logic circuitry. Battery voltage monitoring is also performed by this block which provides needed information to the control logic part. The same applies for detection and reporting of an electrical problem that could occur on the coils or the charge pump. 9.1.2 Control Logic (Position Controller and Main Control) The control logic block stores the information provided by the LIN interface (in a RAM or an OTP memory) and digitally controls the positioning of the stepper motor in terms of speed and acceleration, by feeding the right signals to the motordriver state machine. AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 10 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver 9.2.1 Position Controller 9.2 Functions Description This chapter describes the four most important blocks: • Position controller • Main control and register, OTP memory + ROM • Motordriver • LIN controller Parameter Pmax - Pmin Zero speed Hold Current Maximum current Acceleration and deceleration Vmin Vmax AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com Data Sheet 9.2.1.1 Positioning and Motion Control A positioning command will produce a motion as illustrated below. A motion starts with an acceleration phase from minimum velocity (Vmin) to maximum velocity (Vmax), and ends with a symmetrical deceleration. This is defined by the Control logic according to the position required by the application and to the parameters programmed by the application during configuration phase. The current in the coils is also programmable. Value See § 8.5 See § 9.2.2.13 (Ihold) See § 9.2.2.13 (Irun) See § 8.4 See § 8.3 See § 8.2 11 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Different positioning examples are shown in the table below. Short motion New positioning command in same direction, shorter or longer, while a motion is running at maximum velocity New positioning command in same direction while in deceleration phase Note: there is no wait time between the deceleration phase and the new acceleration phase. New positioning command in reverse direction while motion is running at maximum velocity New positioning command in reverse direction while in deceleration phase New velocity programming while motion is running AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 12 Data Sheet AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.1.2 Position Initialization After power-up or when a Vdd reset has been acknowledged to the master, a position initialization of the stepper-motor can be requested by the application, by use of the RunInit command (see § 9.2.2.11). The position initialization is performed by the position controller under the control of the Main control block. This operation cannot be interrupted or influenced by any further command. A position initialization can only be interrupted by the occurrence of the conditions driving to a Motor shutdown (see § 9.2.2.8) or by a HardStop command. On the other hand, sending a RunInit command while a motion is already ongoing is not recommended. The first motion is done with the specified Vmin and Vmax velocities in the RunInit command, with the acceleration (deceleration) parameter already in RAM, to a position Pos1[15:0] also specified in RunInit. The goal here is to perform a motion large enough to reach a stall position (considered to be the reference position). (2) Commands such as GetActualPos or GetStatus will be executed while the position initialization is running. This applies also for a dynamic ID assignment LIN frame (see § 9.2.4.6.4). (3) An initialization sequence starts by setting TagPos register to SecPos value, provided secure position is enabled otherwise TagPos is reset to zero. (4) The acceleration/deceleration value applied during an initialization sequence is the one stored in RAM before the RunInit command is sent. The same applies for Shaft bit, but not for Irun, Ihold and StepMode, which can be changed during an initialization sequence. (5) The Pos1, Pos2, Vmax, and Vmin values programmed in a RunInit command apply only for a this initialization sequence. All further positioning will use the parameters stored in RAM (programmed for instance by a former SetMotorParam command). (6) Commands ResetPosition, RunInit and SoftStop will be ignored while an initialization sequence is ongoing, and will not be executed afterwards. (7) A SetMotorParam command should not be sent during an initialization sequence. (8) If for some reason ActPos equals Pos1[15:0] at the moment the RunInit command is issued, the circuit will enter in deadlock state. Therefore, the application should check the actual position by a GetPosition or a GetFullStatus command prior to an initialization. Another solution may consist in programming a value out of the stepper motor range for Pos1[15:0]. A position initialization consists of 2 successive motions, as illustrated below. Then a second motion to a position Pos2[15:0] is done at the specified Vmin velocity in the RunInit command (no acceleration). The purpose of this second motion is to confirm with a low velocity the positioning of the motor at the stall position, assuming that the stepper motor may have bounced against the stall position. Therefore, Pos2 should only be a few half or micro steps further than Pos1, in order to perform a displacement of at least one electrical period. Once the second motion is achieved, the ActPos register (see § 0) is reset to zero, to set the reached position as the reference position, whereas TagPos register is not changed. Notes (0) The priority encoder (see § 9.2.2.12) is describing the management of states and commands. The notes below are to be considered illustrative. (1) The last SetPosition(Short) command issued during an initialization sequence will be kept in memory and executed afterwards. This applies also for the commands Sleep and SetMotorParam and GotoSecurePosition. AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 13 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.1.3 External Switch and HW2 Pin Pin SWI and hardwired address pin HW2 (see § 9.2.4.5) will alternatively attempt to source and sink a current in/from the external switch (see application schematic) to test whether it is ON or OFF. This current is set around 10mA when a 1kW external series resistor is used. This can be represented by the following time diagram (The timings are given in § 6). If the switch is detected ON (closed), then the flag <ESW> is raised. The status of this flag can be read by the application via a GetActualPos, a GetStatus or a GetFullStatus reading frame. At the falling edge of every current pulse (at around 1kHz), the stepper-motor actual position is refreshed (register ActPos, see § 9.2.2.9), so that the master node may get synchronous information about the state of the switch together with the position of the motor. The position is then given with an accuracy of ± 1 half-step (or micro-step, depending of the programmed stepping mode). The block diagram below shows how this function is implemented for HW2. With the following truth table: State Float Float Float Float HW2Lo HW2Lo HW2Lo HW2Lo HW2Hi HW2Hi HW2Hi HW2Hi Drive LS 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 Drive HS 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 HW2_CMP 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 New State Float HW2Hi Float HW2Lo HW2Lo HW2Hi Float HW2Lo Float HW2Hi HW2Hi HW2Lo HW2Hi HW2Lo HW2_CMP Drive LS Drive HS note that e.g. if HW2 is connected to GND, LS-part will report "float" while HS-part will report "low resistance detected" Note: If HW2 is detected to be floating, motion to the secure position is performed.

At the end of this action, the register TagPos is loaded with the value contained in register ActPos to avoid an attempt of the circuit to achieve the motion (see § 0). 9.2.2.1 Power-up Phase Power-up phase of the AMIS-30621 will not exceed 10ms. After this phase, the AMIS-30621 is in Shutdown mode, ready to receive LIN messages and to execute the associated commands. After power-up, the registers and flags are in the Reset state, some of them being loaded with the OTP memory content (see § 9.2.2.2). The circuit is then ready to execute a new positioning command, provided thermal and electrical conditions allow for it. 9.2.2.2 Reset State After power-up, or after a reset occurrence (e.g. a micro cut on pin VBB has made Vdd to go below VddReset level), the H-bridges will be in high impedance mode, and the registers and flags will be in a predetermined position. This is documented in § 0 and § 9.2.2.10. 9.2.2.4 Thermal Shutdown Mode When thermal shutdown occurs, the circuit performs a SoftStop command and goes to Motor shutdown mode (see below). 9.2.2.5 Temperature Management The AMIS-30621 monitors temperature by mean of two thresholds and one shutdown level, as illustrated in the state diagram below. The only condition to reset flags <TW> and <TSD> (respectively Thermal Warning and Thermal Shutdown) is to be at a temperature lower than Ttw and to get the occurrence of a GetStatus or a GetFullStatus LIN frame. AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 15 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.2.6 Battery Voltage Management <UV2> and <StepLoss> is to recover a battery voltage higher than UV1 and to receive a GetStatus or a GetFullStatus command. The AMIS-30621 monitors the battery voltage by means of one threshold and one shutdown level, as illustrated in the state diagram below. The only condition to reset flags 9.9.2.7 Sleep Mode Sleep mode can be entered in the following cases: - The circuit receives a LIN frame with identifier 0x3C and first Data byte containing 0x00, as required by LIN specification rev 1.2. - The LIN bus remains inactive (or is lost) during more than 25000 time slots (1.30 s at 19.2 kbit/s), after which a timeout signal switches the circuit to sleep mode. When entering in Sleep mode, the stepper-motor can be driven to its secure position. After which, the circuit is completely powered down, apart from the LIN receiver which remains active to detect dominant state on the bus. In case sleep mode is entered while a motion is ongoing, a transition will occur towards secure position as described in § 9.2.1. provided SecPos is enabled, otherwise SoftStop is performed. The circuit will return to normal mode if a valid LIN frame is received while entering the Sleep mode (this valid frame can be addressed to another slave). AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 16 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.2.8 Motor Shutdown Mode A motor shutdown occurs when: - The chip temperature rises above the thermal shutdown threshold Ttsd (see § 5) - The battery voltage goes below UV2 (see § 5) - Flag <ElDef> = ‘1’, meaning an electrical problem is detected on one or both coils, e.g. a short circuit - Flag <CPFail> = ‘1’, meaning there is a charge pump failure A motor shutdown leads to the followings: - H-bridges in high impedance mode - The TagPos register is loaded with the ActPos (to avoid any motion after leaving the motor shutdown mode) The LIN interface remains active, being able to receive orders or send status. Important While in shutdown mode, since there is no hold current in the coils, the mechanical load can cause a step loss, which indeed cannot be flagged by the AMIS-30621. Warning The application should limit the number of consecutive GetStatus or GetFullStatus commands to try to get the AMIS-30621 out of Shutdown mode when this proves to be unsuccessful, e.g. there is a permanent defect. The reliability of the circuit could be altered since Get(Full)Status attempts to disable the protection of the H-bridges. Note (0) The priority encoder (see § 9.2.2.12) is describing the management of states and commands. The note below is to be considered illustrative. (1) If the LIN communication is lost while in shutdown mode, the circuit enters the sleep mode immediately. AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com The conditions to get out of a motor shutdown mode are: - Reception of a GetStatus or GetFullStatus command AND - The four above causes are no more detected Which leads to H-bridges in Ihold mode. Hence the circuit is ready to execute any positioning command. This can be illustrated in the following sequence given as an application tip. The Master can check whether there is a problem or not and decide which application strategy to adopt. 17 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.2.9 RAM Registers Register Mnemonic Length (bit) Actual Position ActPos 16 Last Programmed Position Pos/ TagPos 16/11 Acceleration Shape AccShape 1 Coil Peak Current Irun 4 Coil Hold Current Ihold 4 Minimum Velocity Vmin 4 Maximum Velocity Vmax 4 Shaft Shaft 1 Acceleration/ Deceleration Acc 4 Secure Position SecPos 11 Stepping Mode StepMode 2 Related Commands GetActualPos GetFullStatus GotoSecurePos ResetPosition GetFullStatus GotoSecurePos ResetPosition SetPositionShort GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorPara GetFullStatus ResetToDefault1 SetMotorParam Note (1) A ResetToDefault command will act as a reset of the RAM content, except for ActPos and TagPos registers that are not modified.

The commands summary is given in the table below. Command Mnemonic GetActualPos GetFullStatus GetOTPparam GetStatus GotoSecurePosition HardStop ResetPosition ResetToDefault RunInit SetMotorParam SetOTPparam SetPosition SetPositionShort (1 motor) SetPositionShort (2 motors) SetPositionShort (4 motors) Sleep SoftStop Feature Returns the actual position of the motor Returns a complete status of the circuit Returns the OTP memory content Returns a short status of the circuit Drives the motor to its secure position Immediate motor stop Actual position becomes the zero position RAM content reset Initialization sequence Programs the motion parameters and values for the current in the motor’s coils Programs (and zaps) a selected byte of the OTP memory Drives the motor to a given position Drives the motor to a given position (half stepping mode only) Drives 2 motors to 2 given positions (half stepping mode only) Drives 4 motors to 4 given positions (half stepping mode only) Drives circuit into sleep mode Motor stopping with a deceleration phase dynamic identifiers are used for other purpose, this is acknowledged. These commands are described hereafter, with their corresponding LIN frames. One should also refer to § 9.2.4.6 for more details on LIN frames, particularly for what concerns dynamic assignment of identifiers. A gray scale coding is used to distinguish between master and slave parts within the frames and to highlight dynamic identifiers. An example is shown below. Some frames implement a Broad bit that allows to address a command to all the AMIS-30621 circuits connected to the same LIN bus. Broad is active when at ‘0’, in which case the physical address provided in the frame is thus not taken into account by the slave nodes. Usually, the AMIS-30621 makes use of dynamic identifiers for general-purpose 2, 4 or 8 bytes writing frames. If AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 20 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver GetActualPos This command is provided to the circuit by the LIN Master to get the actual position of the Stepper-motor. This position (ActPos[15:0]) is returned in signed two’s complement 16-bit format. One should note that according to the programmed stepping mode, the LSBs of ActPos[15:0] may have no meaning and should be assumed to be at ‘0’, as described in § 8.5. Data Sheet GetActualPos provides also a quick status of the circuit and of the Stepper-motor, identical to that obtained by command GetStatus (see further). Note A GetActualPosition command will not attempt to reset any flag. GetActualPos corresponds to the following LIN reading frames. 1) 4 data bytes in-frame response with direct ID (type #5). bit 7 * ESW bit 6 * bit 5 1 bit 4 0 VddReset StepLoss ElDef UV2 bit 3 ID3 AD[6:0] ActPos[15:8] ActPos[7:0] TSD bit 2 ID2 bit 1 ID1 TW bit 0 ID0 Tinfo[1:0] Identifier Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4 *) according to parity computation ID[5:0] : Dynamically allocated direct identifier.

It can also be internally triggered if the LIN bus communication is lost, or after an initialization phase or prior to going into sleep mode. See the priority encoder bit 7 * 1 Broad bit 6 * bit 5 0 bit 4 ID4 Data Sheet description for more details (§ 9.2.1.2). The priority encoder table also acknowledges the cases where a GotoSecurePosition command will be ignored.

HardStop This command will be internally triggered when an electrical problem is detected in one or both coils, leading to Shutdown mode. If this occurs while the motor is moving, the <StepLoss> flag is raised to allow warning of the LIN Master at the next GetStatus command that steps may have been lost. Once the motor is stopped, ActPos bit 7 * 1 Broad bit 6 * bit 5 0 bit 4 ID4 register is copied into TagPos register to ensure keeping the stop position. A hardstop command can also be issued by the LIN Master for some safety reasons.

This is another way for the LIN Master to initialize a slave node in case of emergency, or simply to refresh the RAM content. Note ActPos and TagPos are ResetToDefault command. bit 7 * bit 6 * bit 5 0 Data Sheet Important: Care should be taken not to send a ResetToDefault command while a motion is ongoing, since this could modify the motion parameters in a way forbidden by the position controller.

Important: If for some reason ActPos equals Pos1[15:0] at the moment the RunInit command is issued, the circuit will enter in deadlock state. Therefore, the application should check the actual position by a GetPosition or a GetFullStatus command prior to an initialization. Another solution may consist in programming a value out of the stepper motor range for Pos1[15:0]. For the same reason Pos2[15:0] should not be equal to Pos1[15:0]. RunInit This command is provided to the circuit by the LIN Master in order to initialize positioning of the motor by seeking the zero (or reference) position. See § 9.2.1.2 for a detailed description or the initialization phase. Note1: This sequence cannot be interrupted by another positioning command.

This transition has the lowest priority, meaning that <Sleep>, <Stop>, <TSD>, etc. are first evaluated for possible transitions. 14 If <StepLoss> is active, then SetPosition, SetPositionShort and GotoSecurePosition commands are ignored (they will not modify TagPos register whatever the state), and motion to secure position is forbidden after a Sleep command or a LIN timeout (the circuit will go into Sleep state immediately, without positioning to secure position). Other command like RunInit or ResetPosition will be executed if allowed by current state. <StepLoss> can only be cleared by a GetStatus or GetFullStatus command. Notes: 1 Leaving Sleep state is equivalent to Power-on-reset. 2 After Power-on reset, the Shutdown state is entered. The Shutdown state can only be left after GetFullStatus command (so that the Master could read the <VddReset> flag). 3 A RunInit sequence runs with a separate set of RAM registers. The parameters that are not specified in a RunInit command are loaded with the values stored in RAM at the moment the RunInit sequence starts. AccShape is forced to ‘1’ during second motion even if a ResetToDefault command is issued during a RunInit sequence, in which case AccShape at ‘0’ will be taken into account after the RunInit sequence. A GetFullStatus command will return the default parameters for Vmax and Vmin stored in RAM. 4 The <Sleep> flag is set to ‘1’ when a LIN timeout or a Sleep command occurs. It is reset by the next LIN command (<Sleep> is cancelled if not activated yet). 5 Shutdown state can be left only when <TSD> and <HS> flags are reset. 6 Flags can be reset only after the master could read them via a GetStatus or GetFullStatus command, and provided the physical conditions allow for it (normal temperature, correct battery voltage and no electrical or charge pump defect). 7 A SetMotorParam command sent while a motion is ongoing (state GotoPos) should not attempt to modify Acc and Vmin values. This can be done during a RunInit sequence since this motion uses its own parameters, the new parameters will be taken into account at the next SetPosition or SetPositionShort command. 8 Some transitions like GotoPos ➔ Sleep are actually done via several states: GotoPos ➔ SoftStop ➔ Stopped ➔ Sleep (see diagram below).

Whereas the figure below shows the current fed to one coil in 1/16th microstepping (1 electrical period). 9.2.3.2 PWM Regulation 9.2.3.3 Motor Starting Phase In order to force a given current (determined by Irun or Ihold and the current position of the rotor) through the motor coil while ensuring high energy transfer efficiency, a regulation based on PWM principle is used. The regulation loop performs a comparison of the sensed output current to an internal reference, and features a digital regulation generating the PWM signal that drives the output switches. The zoom over one micro-step in the figure above shows how the PWM circuit performs this regulation. At motion start, the currents in the coils are directly switched from Ihold to Irun with a new sine/cos ratio corresponding to the first half (or micro) step of the motion. AMI Semiconductor- Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 34 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.3.4 Motor Stopping Phase At the end of the deceleration phase, the currents are maintained in the coils at their actual DC level (hence keeping the sine/cos ratio between coils) during 1/4th of an electrical period at minimum velocity (thus 2 half-steps). The currents are then set to the hold values, respectively Ihold x sin(TagPos) and Ihold x cos(TagPos) as illustrated below. A new positioning order can then be executed. 9.2.3.5 Charge Pump Monitoring 9.2.3.6 Electrical Defect on Coils, Detection and Confirmation If the charge pump voltage is not sufficient for driving the high side transistors (due to a failure), an internal HardStop command is issued. This is acknowledged to the master by raising flag <CPFail> (available with command GetFullStatus). The principle relies on the detection of a voltage drop on at least one transistor of the H-bridge. Then the decision is taken to open the transistors of the defective bridge. This allow to detect the following short circuits: • External coil short circuit. • Short between one terminal of the coil and Vbat or Gnd. • One cannot detect internal short in the motor. Open circuits are detected by 100% PWM duty cycle value during a long time. In case this failure occurs while a motion is ongoing, the flag <StepLoss> is also raised.

The interface implemented in the AMIS-30621 is compliant with the LIN rev. 1.2 specifications. It features a slave node, thus allowing for: • single-master / multiple-slave communication • self synchronization without quartz or ceramics resonator in the slave nodes • guaranteed latency times for signal transmission • single-wire communication • transmission speed of 19.2 kbit/s It includes the analog physical layer and the digital protocol handler. The analog circuitry implements a low side driver with a pull-up resistor as a transmitter, and a resistive divider with a comparator as a receiver. The specification of the line driver/receiver follows the ISO 9141 standard with some enhancements regarding the EMI behavior. 9.4.2.4 Slave Operational Range for Proper Self Synchronization The LIN interface will synchronize properly in the following conditions: - Vbb ≥ 8 V - Ground shift between Master node and Slave node < ±1V It is highly recommended to use the same type of reverse battery voltage protection diode for the Master and the Slave nodes.

The figure below shows the characteristics of the transmitted signal, including the delay between internal TxD signal and LIN signal. See § 6 for timing values. The receiver mainly consists of a comparator which threshold is equal to Vbb/2. The figure below shows the delay between the received signal and the internal RxD signal. See § 6 for timing values.

This register is as follows: bit 7 bit 6 bit 5 bit 4 not used not used not used not used bit 3 Time out error With: - Data error flag = Checksum error + StopBit error + Length error - Header error flag = Parity + SynchField error A GetFullStatus frame will reset the error status register. bit 2 Data error flag bit 1 Header error flag bit 0 Bit error flag 9.2.4.5 Physical Address of the Circuit The circuit must be provided with a physical address in order to discriminate this circuit from other ones on the LIN bus. This address is coded on 7 bits, yielding the theoretical possibility of 128 different circuits on the same bus. It is a combination of 4 OTP memory bits (see § 9.2.2.14) and of the 3 hardwired address bits (pins HW[2:0]). The OTP memory contains also an extra bit, ADM, which allows for the following combinations: Note Pins HW0 and HW1 are 5V digital inputs, whereas pin HW2 is compliant with a 12V level, e.g. it can be connected to Vbat or Gnd via a terminal of the PCB. To provide cleaning current for this terminal, the system used for pin SWI is also implemented for pin HW2 (see § 9.2.1.3). 9.2.4.6 LIN Frames - Provide set-point position for the stepper motor. Whereas Reading frames will be used to: - Get the actual position of the stepper motor; - Get status information such as error flags; - Verify the right programming and configuration of the component. The LIN frames can be divided in writing and reading frames. A frame is composed of an 8-bit Identifier followed by 2, 4 or 8 Data-bytes. Writing frames will be used to: - Program the OTP Memory; - Configure the component with the stepper motor parameters (current, speed, stepping mode, etc.); AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 38 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.4.6.1 Writing Frames A writing frame is sent by the LIN Master to send commands and/or information to the Slave nodes. According to the LIN specification, identifiers are to be used to determine a specific action. If a physical addressing is needed, then some bits of the Data field can be dedicated to this, as illustrated in the example below. Note Bit 7 of byte Data1 must be at ‘1’ since the LIN specification requires that contents from 0x00 to 0x7F must be reserved for broadcast messages (0x00 being for the “Sleep” message). Another possibility is to determine the specific action within the Data field in order to use less identifiers. One can for example use the reserved identifier 0x3C and take advantage of the 8-byte Data field to provide a physical address, a command and the needed parameters for the action, as illustrated in the example below. The writing frames used with the AMIS-30621 are the followings: • Type #1: General purpose 2 or 4 Data bytes writing frame with a dynamically assigned identifier This type is dedicated to short writing actions when the bus load can be an issue. They are used to provide direct command to one (Broad = ‘1’) or all the slave nodes (Broad = ‘0’). If Broad = ‘1’, the physical address of the slave node is provided by the 7 remaining bits of DATA2. DATA1 will contain the command code (see § 9.2.4.7), while, if present, DATA3 to DATA4 will contain the command parameters, as shown below. • Type #2: 2, 4 or 8 Data bytes writing frame with an identifier dynamically assigned to an application command, regardless of the physical address of the circuit. • Type #3: 2 Data bytes writing frame with an identifier dynamically assigned to a particular slave node together with an application command. This type of frame requires that there are as many dynamically assigned identifiers as there are AMIS-30621 circuits using this command connected to the LIN bus. • Type #4: 8 Data bytes writing frame with 0x3C identifier. The structure is similar to Type #1 but uses the reserved ID 0x3C. Type #1 has the advantage to be shorter than Type #4. AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com 39 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet Notes (1) A reading frame with indirect ID must always be consecutive to a preparing frame. It will otherwise not be taken into account. (2) A reading frame will always return the physical address of the answering slave node in order to ensure robustness in the communication. 9.2.4.6.2 Reading frames A reading frame uses an in-frame response mechanism. That is: the master initiates the frame (synchronization field + identifier field), and one slave sends back the data field together with the check field. Hence, two types of identifiers can be used for a reading frame: - Direct ID, which points at a particular slave node, indicating at the same time which kind of information is awaited from this slave node, thus triggering a specific command. This ID provides the fastest access to a read command but is forbidden for any other action. The reading frames used with the AMIS-30621 are the followings: • Type #5: 2, 4 or 8 Data bytes reading frame with a direct IDs dynamically assigned to a particular slave node together with an application command. A preparing frame is not needed. • Type #6: 8 Data bytes reading frame with 0x3D identifier. This is intrinsically an indirect type, needing therefore a preparation frame. It has the advantage to use a reserved identifier. - Indirect ID, which only specifies a reading command, the physical address of the slave node that must answer having been passed in a previous writing frame, called a preparing frame. Indirect ID gives more flexibility than a direct one, but provides a slower access to a read command. also contain a command indicating which kind of information is awaited from the slave. 9.2.4.6.3 Preparing Frames A preparing frame is a writing frame that warns a particular slave node that it will have to answer in the next frame (hence a reading frame). A preparing frame is needed when a reading frame does not use a dynamically assigned direct ID. Preparing and reading frames must be consecutive. A preparing frame will contain the physical address of the LIN slave node that must answer in the reading frame, and will The preparing frames used with the AMIS-30621 can be of Type #7 or Type #8 described below. • Type #7: 2 Data bytes writing frame with dynamically assigned identifier. bit 7 * 1 1 bit 6 * bit 5 0 bit 4 ID4 bit 3 ID3 CMD[6:0] AD[6:0] bit 2 ID2 bit 1 ID1 bit 0 ID0 bit 2 1 bit 1 0 bit 0 0 Identifier Data1 Data2 *) according to parity computation • Type #8: 8 Data bytes writing frame with 0x3C identifier. bit 7 0 bit 6 0 1 1 AppCMD : bit 5 1 bit 4 bit 3 1 1 AppCMD = 0x80 CMD[6:0] AD[6:0] 0xFF 0x80 indicates that Data2 contains an application command byte AMI Semiconductor - Rev. 1.4 www.amis.com Identifier Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4-8 CMD[6:0] : Command byte AD[6:0] : Slave node’s physical address 40 AMIS-30621 LIN Microstepping Motordriver Data Sheet 9.2.4.6.4 Dynamic Assignment of Identifiers RAM to make them correspond to commands pointers located in the slave’s ROM. This is the strategy adopted for the AMIS-30621. Apart from identifiers 0x3C to 0x3F, the LIN rev 1.2 specification does not indicate how identifiers can be allocated. Therefore, slave nodes need to be flexible enough to adapt themselves to a given LIN network. Dynamic assignment must be done by a writing frame with identifier 0x3C. One solution proposed by BMW is to implement a dynamic assignment of the identifiers by the LIN Master. This is done at start-up of the system by writing identifiers in the slave’s bit 7 0 bit 6 0 1 Broad AD6 bit 5 1 AD5 ID1[3:0] ID2[1:0] bit 4 bit 3 1 1 AppCmd = 0x80 CMD[6:0] = 0x11 AD4 AD3 bit 2 1 AD2 AD1 ROMp1[3:0] ROMp2[3:0] ROMp3[3:0] ROMp4[1:0] ID4[5:0] bit 1 0 bit 0 0 AD0 ID1[5:4] ID2[5:2] ID3[5:0] ROMp4[3:2] Identifier Data1 Data2 Data3 Data4 Data5 Data6 Data7 Data8 With: CMD[6:0] : 0x11, corresponding to dynamic assignment of 4 LIN identifiers.

Therefore, additional frames could be needed in order to assign more identifiers (maximum 3 for the AMIS-30621). 9.2.4.7 Commands Table Command Mnemonic GetActualPos GetFullStatus GetOTPparam GetStatus GotoSecurePosition HardStop ResetPosition ResetToDefault RunInit SetMotorParam SetOTPparam SetPosition (16-bit) SetPositionShort (1 motor) SetPositionShort (2 motors) SetPositionShort (4 motors) Sleep SoftStop Dynamic ID assignment General purpose 2 Data bytes General purpose 4 Data bytes Preparation frame Command Byte (CMD) 000000 0x00 000001 0x01 000010 0x02 000011 0x03 000100 0x04 000101 0x05 000110 0x06 000111 0x07 001000 0x08 001001 0x09 010000 0x10 001011 0x0B 001100 0x0C 001101 0x0D 001110 0x0E n.a. n.a. 001111 0x0F 010001 0x11 Dynamic ID (example) 100xxx n.a. n.a. 000xxx n.a. n.a. n.a. n.a. n.a. n.a. n.a. 010xxx 001001 101001 111001 n.a. n.a. 011000 101000 011010 xxx allows to address physically a slave node.

Depending on the stepping mode the position can range between –4096 to +4095 in half-step mode to –32768 to +32767 in 1/16th microstepping mode (see 8.5.1) one can project all these positions lying on a circle. When executing the command SetPosition the position controller will set the movement direction in such a way that the traveled distance is minimum. If a clockwise motion is required in this example, several consecutive SetPosition commands can be used. 11.0 Resistance to Electrical and Electromagnetic Disturbances 11.1 Electrostatic Discharges See. § 1.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings 11.2 Schäffner Pulses Shäffner Pulses are applied to the power supply wires of the equipment implementing the AMIS-30621 (see application schematic), according to Renault 36-00-808/--E document.
