12V COMBO
DESCRIPTION
The 12 Volt Combo chip is a combination spindle
motor driver, voice coil driver and D/A converter.
The part can be used in,application like HDD.
The VCM amplifiers drive a low impedance coil
and are set up to accept RC compensation, which
allows a wide bandwidth with absolute minimum
phase lag. The sense resistor/amplifier arrange-
ment allows full current loop operation. The loop
gain is changeable by attenuating the VCM DAC
voltage amplitude in cascadable stages.
The Spindle driver is a PWM only voltage loop
with power supply feedforward, driving a 3 phase
sensorless brushless DC motor. Since it uses
PWM operation at full run speed, it has output
slew rate control during start and run modes.
There is an inductive clamp circuit to limit flyback
voltage transients across the supply voltage dur-
ing motor phase changes and during the braking
sequence. Only the 2 phase or bipolar commuta-
tion pattern is produced by the internal commuta-
tion circuitry. A commutation register allows arbi-

trary winding sequencing during certain opera-
tions. Internal protection against crossover
spikes is built in.
3 phase or tripolar commutation can be supported
in software during start by writing a commutation
pattern directly to the preload register.
Tripolar operation requires that more than two
phase drivers contribute current simultaneously.
The current limit circuitry reflects this and allows
33% higher current limit, which produces nearly
