DC-Motor Controller
3. Application Circuitry
3.1 Single DC-Motor Drive
In this sample application the IC can drive a DC motor via an external power N- FET's bridge. The high side
N-FET drive is done by a bootstrap output stage. Current control of the motor is done via shunt
measurement; the reverse polarity protection of the bridge has to be realized with an external power FET
connected to the ground line. Short circuits of the bridge will be detected from fast comparators and in this
case the bridge will be switched off. Weak short circuits should be monitored with the help of an external
temperature sensor.
The actual position can be read with hall sensors, which are connected to the timer capture inputs. The hall
sensors are switched off during standby mode via a switch-able battery voltage output PS. Optional it is
possible to connect an external serial EEPROM via serial interface in case the usage of an integrated
MEMORY is forbidden by safety reasons.
