DESCRIPTION

The UDN2916A is a bipolar monolithic integrated circuits intended to control and drive both winding of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally con- trol two DC motors. The UDN2916A with a few external components form a complete control and drive circuit for LS- TTL or microprocessor controlled stepper motor system. The power stage is a dual full bridge capable of sustaining 50V and including four diodes for cur- rent recirculation. A cross conduction protection is provided to avoid simultaneous cross conduction during switching current direction. An internal pulse-width-modulation (PWM) con- trols the output current to 750mA with peak start- up current up to 1A. Wide range of current control from 750mA (each bridge) is permitted by means of two logic inputs and an external voltage reference. A phase input to each bridge determines the load current direc- tion. A thermal protection circuitry disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe operating limits.

The voltage across the sense resistor is feedback to this input throught the low pass filter RC CC. The higher power transistors are disabled when the sense voltage exceeds the reference voltage of the selected comparator. When this occurs the current decays for a time set by R T C T (toff= 1.1 RT C T). See fig. 1. 5;21 OUTPUT B Output Connection.

With pins 6 and 19 also conducts heat from die to printed circuit copper. 8;20 INPUT 0 See INPUT 1 (pins 9;17) 9;17 INPUT 1 These pins and pins 8;20 (INPUT 0) are logic inputs which select the outputs of the comparators to set the current level. Current also depends on the sensing resistor and reference voltage. See Funcional Description. 10;16 PHASE This TTL-compatible logic inputs sets the direction of current flow through the load. A high level causes current to flow from OUTPUT A (source) to OUTPUT B (sink). A schmitt trigger on this input provides good noise immunity and a delay circuit prevents output stage short circuits during switching. 11;15 REFERENCE VOLTAGE A voltage applied to this pin sets the reference voltage of the comparators, this determining the output current (also thus depending on R s and the two inputs INPUT 0 and INPUT 1). 12;14 RC A parallel RC network connected to this pin sets the OFF time of the higher power transistors. The pulse generator is a monostable triggered by the output of the comparators (t off= 1.1 RT C T).

The circuit is intended to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor. The peak current control is generated through switch mode regulation. There is a choice of three different current levels with the two logic inputs I 01 -I11 for winding 1 and I02 -I12 for winding 2. The current can also be switched off completely Input Logic (I0 and I1) The current level in the motor winding is selected with these inputs. (See fig. 2) If any of the logic inputs is left open, the circuit will treat it has a high level input. Io I1 Current Level H L H L H H L L No Current Low Current 1/3 I o max Medium Current 2/3 Io max Maximum Current Io max Phase This input determines the direction of current flow in the windings, depending on the motor connec- tions. The signal is fed through a Schmidt-trigger for noise immunity, and through a time delay in order to guarantee that no short-circuit occurs in the output stage during phase-shift. High level on the PHASE input causes the motor current flow from Out A through the winding to Out B Current Sensor This part contains a current sensing resistor (R S), a low pass filter (RC ,CC ) and three comparators. Only one comparator is active at a time. It is acti- vated by the input logic according to the current level chosen with signals Io and I1. The motor current flows through the sensing re- sistor R When the current has increased so that the volt- age across RS becomes higher than the refer- ence voltage on the other comparator input, the comparator goes high, which triggers the pulse generator. The max peak current I max can be defined by: Imax = Vref

The pulse generator is a monostable triggered on the positive going edge of the comparator output. The monostable output is high during the pulse time, t off, which is determined by the time compo- nents Rtand Ct. toff= 1.1•RtC t The single pulse switches off the power feed to the motor winding, causing the winding current to decrease during toff. If a new trigger signal should occur during toff,i t i s ignored. Output Stage The output stage contains four Darlington transis- tors (source drivers) four saturated transistors (sink drivers) and eight diodes, connected in two H bridge. The source transistors are used to switch the power supplied to the motor winding, thus driving a constant current through the winding. It should be noted however, that is not permitted to short circuit the outputs. Internal circuitry is added in order to increse the accuracy of the motor current particularly with low current levels.

The circuit will stand any order of turn-on or turn- off the supply voltages VS and VSS . Normal dV/dt values are then assumed. Preferably, V Ref should be tracking VSS during power-on and power-off if VS is established. APPLICATION INFORMATIONS (Note 1) Some stepper motors are not designed for contin- uous operation at maximum current. As the circuit drives a constant current through the motor, its temperature might increase exceedingly both at low and high speed operation. Also, some stepper motors have such high core losses that they are not suited for switch mode current regulation. Unused inputs should be connected to proper voltage levels in order to get the highest noise im- munity. As the circuit operates with switch mode current regulation, interference generation problems might arise in some applications. A good measure might then be to decouple the circuit with a 100nF capacitor, located near the package between power line and ground. The ground lead between R s, and circuit GND should be kept as short as possible. A typical Application Circuit is shown in Fig. 3. Note that C tmust be NPO type or similar else. To sense the winding current, paralleled metal film resistors are recommended (R Note 1- Other information is available as ”Smart Power Development System”: HWPC2916A.
