The UDN2916B, UDN2916EB, and UDN2916LB motor drivers are
designed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor or
bidirectionally control two dc motors. Both bridges are capable of
sustaining 45 V and include internal pulse-width modulation (PWM)
control of the output current to 750 mA. The outputs have been opti-
mized for a low output saturation voltage drop (less than 1.8 V
total source plus sink at 500 mA).
For PWM current control, the maximum output current is deter-
mined by the user’s selection of a reference voltage and sensing
resistor. Two logic-level inputs select output current limits of 0, 33,
67, or 100% of the maximum level. A PHASE input to each bridge
determines load current direction.
The bridges include both ground clamp and flyback diodes for
protection against inductive transients. Internally generated delays
prevent cross-over currents when switching current direction. Special
power-up sequencing is not required. Thermal protection circuitry
disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe operating
limits.
The UDN2916B is supplied in a 24-pin dual in-line plastic batwing
package with a copper lead-frame and heat sinkable tabs for improved
power dissipation capabilities. The UDN2916EB is supplied in a 44-
lead power PLCC for surface mount applications. The UDN2916LB is
supplied in a 24-lead surface-mountable SOIC. Their batwing construc-
tion provides for maximum package power dissipation in the smallest
possible construction. The UDN2916B, UDN2916EB, and UDN2916LB
are available for operation from –20°C to 85°C. The UDQ2916B and
UDQ2916LB are available for operation from –40°C to 105°C. All
packages are lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe.

DUALFULL -BRIDGE
MOTORDRIVER
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PWM CURRENT CONTROL
The UDN2916B/EB/LB dual bridges are designed to
drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor. Output
current is sensed and controlled independently in each
bridge by an external sense resistor (R
S
), internal com-
parator, and monostable multivibrator.
When the bridge is turned ON, current increases in
the motor winding and it is sensed by the external sense
resistor until the sense voltage (V
SENSE
) reaches the level
set at the comparator’s input:
I
TRIP
= V
REF
/ 10 R
S
The comparator then triggers the monostable which
turns OFF the source driver of the bridge. The actual
load current peak will be slightly higher than the trip point
(especially for low-inductance loads) because of the
internal logic and switching delays. This delay (t
d
) is
typically 2 µs. After turn-o , the motor current decays,
circulating through the ground-clamp diode and sink
transistor. The source driver’s OFF time (and therefore
the magnitude of the current decrease) is determined by
the monostable’s external RC timing components, where
t
o
= R
T
C
T
within the range of 20 k
Ω
to 100 k
Ω
and
100 pF to 1000 pF.
The xed-o time should be short enough to keep
the current chopping above the audible range (< 46 µs)
and long enough to properly regulate the current. Be-
cause only slow-decay current control is available, short
o times (< 10 µs) require additional e orts to ensure
proper current regulation. Factors that can negatively
a ect the ability to properly regulate the current when
using short o times include: higher motor-supply volt-
age, light load, and longer than necessary blank time.
When the source driver is re-enabled, the winding
current (the sense voltage) is again allowed to rise to the
comparator’s threshold. This cycle repeats itself, main-
taining the average motor winding current at the desired
level.
Loads with high distributed capaci-tances may
result in high turn-ON current peaks. This peak (appear-
ing across R
S
) will attempt to trip the comparator, result-
ing in erroneous current control or high-frequency
oscillations. An external R
C
C
C
time delay should be used
to further delay the action of the comparator. Depending
on load type, many applications will not require these
external components (SENSE connected to E).
