FEATURES
Voice Coil Motor Driver: I Low rDS(on) MOS Outputs I Lossless Current Sensing I Zero Deadband I User-Adjustable Transconductance Gain I Retract Circuitry Functional to 0 V The A8980CJT provides complete drive, management, and control of the voice-coil and spindle motor power actuation subsystems used in hard disk drives. Extensive programmable control features and system diagnostics are provided via a serial interface under the direction of an external microcontroller. The large-scale integration and use of advanced DABiC ™ (digital/analog-BiCMOS) merged technologies results in minimum power dissipation, minimum operating voltage requirements, and minimum external components. The spindle drive function incorporates a three-phase MOS power driver and a back-EMF sensing motor commutation scheme. Internal logic and analog circuitry provide complete start-up and µC-assisted run modes without the need for snubbers or other external compo- nents. Additional headroom is achieved by a proprietary circuit, which eliminates the need for an external current-sense resistor. Intrinsic ground clamp and flyback diodes are also provided. The voice-coil function contains a 12-bit DAC, tunable low-pass and notch filters, and a full-bridge power driver. The MOS outputs provide increased available voltage and lower power dissipation over bipolar devices. Voice-coil current is sensed by internal circuitry that eliminates the need for an external current-sense resistor. Additional internal circuitry can be configured to provide an over-velocity fault limit by utilizing the internally monitored current of the voice-coil motor. The spindle and voice-coil control functions are supplemented by an E NERGY MANAGER ™ subsystem, which efficiently channels available power to protect the heads and the data disk during system failure or normal system shutdown. Synchronous rectification of spindle back-EMF voltage provides nearly lossless conversion of spindle rotational inertia into power to operate the voice coil motor for parking the heads. A dc-to-dc converter provides continuous operation at minimum supply voltages. In addition, the E NERGY MANAGER subsystem provides several sleep modes and latched fault states for undervoltage or thermal faults. The A8980CJT is supplied in a 64-lead thin quad flatpack for surface-mount applications. Output current rating may be restricted to a value determined by system concerns and factors. These include: system duty cycle and timing, ambient temperature, and use of any heatsinking and/or forced cooling.

SUPER SERVO ™ SPINDLE & VOICE-COIL ACTUATION MANAGER/DRIVER Notch Filter. This notch filter has a programmable center frequency and programmable notch depth to provide truly independent control of notch damping. Enough range and granularity are provided to allow versatile and accurate out-of-band attenuation of undesirable energy sources. Actuator Transconductance Amplifier. The final trans- conductance function of the voice-coil actuation signal path is achieved by monitoring the load current and generating an error voltage to drive a local g m amplifier control loop. The error voltage is scaled by an external precision resistor (Rgm(act)). This resistor does not carry load current and is intended only for accurate determination of the transconductance. The function is: g m(act) = A/V and IOUT = VSERVO • gm(ACT) . Actuator Power Outputs. The voice-coil output driver is a full-bridge power driver operating in a class-B mode. The power output devices are enhancement-mode MOS transistors. Special internal circuitry results in nearly zero cross-over distortion when switching from one source/sink pair to another. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION ACTUATOR Servo-Demand DAC. A 12-bit DAC is provided to bridge the DSP “soft” domain to the analog hardware domain. The term “demand ” refers to the distinction between the newly requested voice-coil current and the prior current being supplied. The DAC, operating in straight binary format, spans the full dynamic range between a large signal velocity and a precision position mode. The DAC output is updated synchronously with the notch functions to avoid the creation of aliasing products. Low-Pass Filter. This double, non- intrinsic complex-pole low-pass filter is provided to attenuate undesirable, out-of- band information. The input of this discrete time filter is sampled synchronously with the 12-bit DAC and notch function in order to avoid aliasing products.

SUPER SERVO ™ SPINDLE & VOICE-COIL ACTUATION MANAGER/DRIVER Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 SPINDLE The spindle function is a three-phase back-EMF sensing motor controller and driver. During start-up, internal circuitry provides complete spindle control and drive. At speed however, an external microcontroller is used to provide speed (phase/frequency) detection as well as compensation.

In addition, a power-on reset function and two programmable voltage references (V REF and VREF(x2)) are provided that are suitable for output to the user. An onboard dc-to-dc converter generates two regulated “high” (greater than the supply) voltages referred to as VBOOST(H) and VBOOST(L) . These voltages supply critical functions with maximum immunity from supply variations. SERIAL INTERFACE The serial interface is used to alter the control state of the device from an external microcontroller or other digital CMOS source. In addition to the various operational and diagnostic control states (modes), all critical constants, variables, and parameters can be adjusted through this interface. The serial interface is a synchronous serial three-wire port with serial data input, clock, and load (active low) functions. When LOAD is high, the serial interface is disabled and the chip is not affected by changes in SER DATA IN or CLK SER. To write data to the serial interface, CLK SER should be low prior to LOAD going low. Once LOAD goes low, information at SER DATA IN is read into the shift register on the positive-going transitions of CLK SER.
