HALF-BRIDGE CURRENT RECOPY
Each low-side MOSFET has an additional sense output to
allow a current recopy feature. This sense source is internally
connected to a shunt resistor. The drop voltage is amplified
and switched to the analog multiplexer.
The factor for the current sense amplification can be
selected via bit CSA in the System Control Register.
• CSA = 1: Low resolution selected (500 mA
measurement range).
• CSA = 0: High resolution selected (2.5 A measurement
range).
HALF-BRIDGE BEMF GENERATION
The BEMF output is set to “1” if a recirculation current is
detected in any half-bridge. This recirculation current flows
via the two freewheeling diodes of the power MOSFETs. The
BEMF circuitry detects that and generates a HIGH on the
BEMF output as long as a recirculation current is detected.
This signal provides a flexible and reliable detection of stall in
step motor applications. For this the BEMF circuitry takes
advantage of the instability of the electrical and mechanical
behavior of a step motor when blocked. In addition the signal
can be used for open load detection (absence of this signal)
(see Figure 14, page 26).
