† Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate device thermal
shutdown circuitry. These conditions can be
tolerated, but should be avoided.
Output current rating may be restricted to a value
determined by system concerns and factors.
These include: system duty cycle and timing,
ambient temperature, and use of any heatsinking
and/or forced cooling. For reliable operation, the
specified maximum junction temperature should
not be exceeded.

CIRCUITRY
The A8925CEB is a DMOS three-phase brushless dc motor con-
troller/driver designed for use in Winchester disk drives and other data
storage applications. The power output stages are capable of
±4
A
output currents and have DMOS power outputs with less than 0.25
Ω
r
DS(on)
for low power dissipation. Intrinsic ground clamp and flyback
diodes protect the output drivers when switching inductive loads.
Thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the device from ex-
cessive junction temperature.
A transconductance amplifier is used to linearly regulate the load
current and control motor speed. Internal current-sensing circuitry
eliminates the need for external sense resistors. Analog and digital
control circuitry provide complete sequencing of the output drivers as
well as providing brake, disable, and tachometer functions. A FAULT
output flag indicates the presence of an under-voltage condition on the
12 V supply, excessive junction temperature, or an invalid Hall input
combination. The A8925CEB’s commutation logic is compatible with
motors that have digital Hall-effect sensors with 120° of electrical
separation. Internal charge pump circuitry is provided to drive the N-
channel DMOS source drivers to their required gate voltages.
The A8925CEB is provided in a 44-lead PLCC power package for
surface-mount applications. The copper batwing provides for maxi-
mum allowable package power dissipation in the smallest possible
construction.

Power Outputs (OUT

, OUT
B
, and
OUT

).
The power outputs of the A8925CEB
are DMOS transistors with a maximum r
DS(on)
of 0.25
Ω.
Intrinsic ground clamp and flyback
diodes clamp transient voltage spikes when
switching inductive loads. Internal charge
pump circuitry is used to drive the gates of
the N-channel source drivers to their required
gate voltages.
Current Control.
Current in the load is
monitored by an internal sense amplifier that
produces an output current that is approxi-
mately one twelve hundredth that of the load
current (see Figure). This current is output to
the V
SENSE
terminal and develops a voltage

are com-

response and settling of the current control
loop. Information on how to select these
components is available.
FAULT.
The FAULT terminal when low
indicates the presence of one of three fault
conditions:
A)
An under-voltage condition
on the logic supply. The
trip point for this function is
between 8 and 9.5 volts.
An invalid Hall input combi-
nation … all inputs High or
all inputs Low.
An excessive device
junction temperature. The
thermal shutdown circuitry
disables the output drivers
in addition to forcing the
FAULT output signal low.
HALL INPUTS (H
1
, H
2
, H
3
).
The A8925CEB is configured for use
with open-collector Hall-effect devices. Internal 25 kΩ pull up resistors
to 10 volts are connected to these inputs.
ENABLE.
The ENABLE terminal when Low puts the device in a
low current consumption, power-down mode. When ENABLE is High
the device is active.
BRAKE.
When the BRAKE input goes Low the output source driv-
ers are disabled and the gates of the sink drivers are pulled high and
left floating. This achieves optimum passive braking performance
since the sink power DMOS output drivers are ON until the motor has
fully completed braking. The braking control circuitry operates off the
load supply (V
BB
) to allow it to remain operational during power loss by
using the back-EMF voltage of the motor as it’s supply.
LOAD SUPPLY (V
BB
).
This terminal is the power supply connec-
tion for the power output drivers and braking control circuitry. This ter-
minal should be decoupled with a large-value capacitor to absorb load
currents dumped back into the supply during the de-energization of
motor windings. These currents can cause the supply voltage to ex-
ceed the maximum voltage rating of the device if not properly
decoupled. The intrinsic ground clamp and flyback diodes will rectify
the motor’s back-EMF voltage during power loss. In applications were
use of the motor’s back-EMF voltage is desired a series diode should
be used to isolate this terminal from the logic supply (V
CC
). This is to
avoid dumping the charge back into the supply and therefor clamping
the voltage available from rectification of the motor’s back-EMF
voltage.
LOGIC SUPPLY (V
CC
).
This is the 12 volt supply terminal for the
A8925CEB and powers all circuitry except the power outputs and
brake control circuitry.
LOGIC GROUND.
This must be connected to the power ground
terminals in systems that do not use separate power and logic
grounds.
POWER GROUND.
Terminals 7 through 17 and 29 through 39
are webbed together and attach to the die mounting area to form a low
thermal resistance path to allow heat to be conducted out of the de-
vice. The power dissipation of the package can be further enhanced
by soldering these terminals to a large area of copper foil on the
printed wiring board.
B)
C)
TACH and POLE.
In order to develop a
low-jitter tachometer signal (
TACH
) for use in
controlling motor speed, the A8925CEB di-
vides the frequency of the H
1
input by the
number of poles in the motor. This elimi-
nates the jitter caused by variations in Hall-
effect device placement , sensitivity, and
magnet strengths by always changing state
when looking at the same magnet/sensor
pair. The resulting
TACH
signal changes state
every mechanical revolution of the motor.
The POLE input sets the
TACH
signal for four-
pole motors when Low or eight-pole motors
when High.
