Description

The A3968SA and A3968SLB are designed to bidirectionally control two dc motors. Each device includes two H-bridges capable of continuous output currents of ±650 mA and operating voltages to 30 V. Motor winding current can be controlled by the internal fixed-frequency, pulse-width modulated (PWM), current-control circuitry. The peak load current limit is set by the user's selection of a reference voltage and current-sensing resistors. Except for package style and pinout, the two devices are identical. The fixed-frequency pulse duration is set by a user-selected external RC timing network.

The capacitor in the RC timing network also determines a user-selectable blanking window that prevents false triggering of the PWM current-control circuitry during switching transitions.

To reduce on-chip power dissipation, the H-bridge power outputs have been optimized for low saturation voltages. The sink drivers feature the Allegro® patented Satlington® output structure. The Satlington outputs combine the low voltage drop of a saturated transistor and the high peak current capability of a Darlington.

For each bridge, the INPUTA and INPUTB terminals determine the load current polarity by enabling the appropriate source and sink driver pair. When a logic low is applied to both INPUTs of a bridge, the braking function is enabled. In brake mode, both source drivers are turned OFF and both sink drivers are turned ON, thereby dynamically braking the motor. When a logic high is applied to both INPUTs of a bridge, all output drivers are disabled. Special power-up sequencing is not required. Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, ground-clamp and flyback diodes, and crossover-current protection.

The A3968SA is supplied in a 16-pin dual in-line plastic package. The A3968SLB is supplied in a 16-pin plastic SOIC with copper heat sink tabs. The power tab is at ground potential and needs no electrical isolation. The LB package is available in a lead (Pb) free version (100% matte tin leadframe).
