nal synchronous rectification to reduce power dissipation. The

R

current in the output full bridge is regulated with fixed off-time
pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuitry. The IN1 and IN2

REF

inputs allow two-wire control for the bridge.
Protection circuitry includes internal thermal shutdown, and pro-
tection against shorted loads, or against output shorts to ground
or supply. Undervoltage lockout prevents damage by keeping the
outputs off until the driver has enough voltage to operate nor-
mally.
Standby Mode
Low Power Standby mode is activated when both input (INx)
pins are low for longer than 1 ms. Low Power Standby mode
disables most of the internal circuitry, including the charge pump
and the regulator. When the A4950 is coming out of standby
mode, the charge pump should be allowed to reach its regulated
voltage (a maximum delay of 200 μs) before any PWM com-
mands are issued to the device.
Internal PWM Current Control
Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink FET outputs are
enabled and current flows through the motor winding and the
optional external current sense resistor, R
S
. When the voltage
across R
S
equals the comparator trip value, then the current sense
comparator resets the PWM latch. The latch then turns off the
sink and source FETs (Mixed Decay mode).
V
REF
The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of
R
Sx
and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance func-
tion is approximated by the maximum value of current limiting,
Overcurrent Protection
A current monitor will protect the IC from damage due to output
shorts. If a short is detected, the IC will latch the fault and disable
the outputs. The fault latch can only be cleared by coming out of
Low Power Standby mode or by cycling the power to VBB. Dur-
ing OCP events, Absolute Maximum Ratings may be exceeded
for a short period of time before the device latches.
Shutdown
If the die temperature increases to approximately 160°C, the full
bridge outputs will be disabled until the internal temperature falls
below a hysteresis, T
TSDhys
, of 15°C. Internal UVLO is present
on VBB to prevent the output drivers from turning-on below the
UVLO threshold.
Braking
The braking function is implemented by driving the device in
Slow Decay mode, which is done by applying a logic high to both
inputs, after a bridge-enable Chop command (see PWM Control
Truth Table). Because it is possible to drive current in both direc-
tions through the DMOS switches, this configuration effectively
shorts-out the motor-generated BEMF, as long as the Chop com-
mand is asserted. The maximum current can be approximated by
V
BEMF
/ R
L
. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
ratings of the device are not exceeded in worse case braking situ-
ations: high speed and high-inertia loads.

A4950

Mixed Decay Operation
The bridges operate in Mixed Decay mode. Referring to the
lower panel of the figure below, as the trip point is reached, the
device goes into fast decay mode for 50% of the fixed off-time
period. After this fast decay portion the device switches to slow
decay mode for the remainder of the off-time. During transitions
from fast decay to slow decay, the drivers are forced off for the
Crossover Delay, t
COD
. This feature is added to prevent shoot-
through in the bridge. During this “dead time” portion, synchro-
nous rectification is not active, and the device operates in fast
decay and slow decay only.
Synchronous Rectification
When a PWM off-cycle is triggered by an internal fixed off-time
cycle, load current will recirculate. The A4950 synchronous rec-
tification feature turns-on the appropriate DMOSFETs during the
current decay, and effectively shorts out the body diodes with the
low R
DS(on)
driver. This significantly lowers power dissipation.
When a zero current level is detected, synchronous rectification is
turned off to prevent reversal of the load current.

Application Information
Sense Pin (LSS)
In order to use PWM current control, a low-value resistor is
placed between the LSS pin and ground for current sensing pur-
poses. To minimize ground-trace IR drops in sensing the output
current level, the current sensing resistor should have an indepen-
dent ground return to the star ground point. This trace should be
as short as possible. For low-value sense resistors, the IR drops in
the PCB can be significant, and should be taken into account.
When selecting a value for the sense resistor be sure not to
exceed the maximum voltage on the LSS pin of ±500 mV at
maximum load. During overcurrent events, this rating may be
exceeded for short durations.
of the device makes a good location for the star ground point. The
exposed pad can be connected to ground for this purpose.
Layout
The PCB should have a thick ground plane. For optimum
electrical and thermal performance, the A4950 must be soldered
directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4950 package is
an exposed pad, which provides a path for enhanced thermal dis-
sipation. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to an exposed
surface on the PCB in order to achieve optimal thermal conduc-
tion. Thermal vias are used to transfer heat to other layers of the
PCB.
The load supply pin, VBB, should be decoupled with an electro-

nal synchronous rectification to reduce power dissipation. The

R

current in the output full bridge is regulated with fixed off-time
pulse width modulated (PWM) control circuitry. The IN1 and IN2

REF

inputs allow two-wire control for the bridge.
Protection circuitry includes internal thermal shutdown, and pro-
tection against shorted loads, or against output shorts to ground
or supply. Undervoltage lockout prevents damage by keeping the
outputs off until the driver has enough voltage to operate nor-
mally.
Standby Mode
Low Power Standby mode is activated when both input (INx)
pins are low for longer than 1 ms. Low Power Standby mode
disables most of the internal circuitry, including the charge pump
and the regulator. When the A4950 is coming out of standby
mode, the charge pump should be allowed to reach its regulated
voltage (a maximum delay of 200 μs) before any PWM com-
mands are issued to the device.
Internal PWM Current Control
Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink FET outputs are
enabled and current flows through the motor winding and the
optional external current sense resistor, R
S
. When the voltage
across R
S
equals the comparator trip value, then the current sense
comparator resets the PWM latch. The latch then turns off the
sink and source FETs (Mixed Decay mode).
V
REF
The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of
R
Sx
and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance func-
tion is approximated by the maximum value of current limiting,
Overcurrent Protection
A current monitor will protect the IC from damage due to output
shorts. If a short is detected, the IC will latch the fault and disable
the outputs. The fault latch can only be cleared by coming out of
Low Power Standby mode or by cycling the power to VBB. Dur-
ing OCP events, Absolute Maximum Ratings may be exceeded
for a short period of time before the device latches.
Shutdown
If the die temperature increases to approximately 160°C, the full
bridge outputs will be disabled until the internal temperature falls
below a hysteresis, T
TSDhys
, of 15°C. Internal UVLO is present
on VBB to prevent the output drivers from turning-on below the
UVLO threshold.
Braking
The braking function is implemented by driving the device in
Slow Decay mode, which is done by applying a logic high to both
inputs, after a bridge-enable Chop command (see PWM Control
Truth Table). Because it is possible to drive current in both direc-
tions through the DMOS switches, this configuration effectively
shorts-out the motor-generated BEMF, as long as the Chop com-
mand is asserted. The maximum current can be approximated by
V
BEMF
/ R
L
. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
ratings of the device are not exceeded in worse case braking situ-
ations: high speed and high-inertia loads.

Mixed Decay Operation
The bridges operate in Mixed Decay mode. Referring to the
lower panel of the figure below, as the trip point is reached, the
device goes into fast decay mode for 50% of the fixed off-time
period. After this fast decay portion the device switches to slow
decay mode for the remainder of the off-time. During transitions
from fast decay to slow decay, the drivers are forced off for the
Crossover Delay, t
COD
. This feature is added to prevent shoot-
through in the bridge. During this “dead time” portion, synchro-
nous rectification is not active, and the device operates in fast
decay and slow decay only.
Synchronous Rectification
When a PWM off-cycle is triggered by an internal fixed off-time
cycle, load current will recirculate. The A4950 synchronous rec-
tification feature turns-on the appropriate DMOSFETs during the
current decay, and effectively shorts out the body diodes with the
low R
DS(on)
driver. This significantly lowers power dissipation.
When a zero current level is detected, synchronous rectification is
turned off to prevent reversal of the load current.

Application Information
Sense Pin (LSS)
In order to use PWM current control, a low-value resistor is
placed between the LSS pin and ground for current sensing pur-
poses. To minimize ground-trace IR drops in sensing the output
current level, the current sensing resistor should have an indepen-
dent ground return to the star ground point. This trace should be
as short as possible. For low-value sense resistors, the IR drops in
the PCB can be significant, and should be taken into account.
When selecting a value for the sense resistor be sure not to
exceed the maximum voltage on the LSS pin of ±500 mV at
maximum load. During overcurrent events, this rating may be
exceeded for short durations.
of the device makes a good location for the star ground point. The
exposed pad can be connected to ground for this purpose.
Layout
The PCB should have a thick ground plane. For optimum
electrical and thermal performance, the A4950 must be soldered
directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4950 package is
an exposed pad, which provides a path for enhanced thermal dis-
sipation. The thermal pad must be soldered directly to an exposed
surface on the PCB in order to achieve optimal thermal conduc-
tion. Thermal vias are used to transfer heat to other layers of the
PCB.
The load supply pin, VBB, should be decoupled with an electro-
