Providing control and drive of the voice coil motor used for head
positioning in disk drive applications, the A8958CLB is a full-bridge
driver which can be configured so that its output current is a direct
function of an externally applied control voltage or current. This linear
current control function is supplemented by additional circuitry to
protect the heads and the data disk during system failure or normal
system shutdown.
The two
±800
mA driver outputs provide very-low saturation voltage
drops and precise current control utilizing a single current-sensing
resistor connected in series with the load. Under-voltage lockout
disables the system in a controlled sequence if a fault condition occurs.
When activated by the under-voltage comparator, or a park com-
mand, the output power drivers change from a controlled current to a
user-determined constant park voltage. Other features include a power
ok flag, a limit input to force the outputs to their maximum level in either
polarity, an over-riding output disable to shut down both power amplifi-
ers and reduce quiescent supply current, and internal thermal shutdown
which disables the load (but still allowing the head to be parked) in the
event of excessive junction temperatures. The load is re-enabled when
the junction temperature returns to a safe level.
The A8958CLB is supplied in a 24-lead power SOIC for surface-
mount applications. The copper batwing construction provides for
maximum package power dissipation in a minimum package size. It is
rated for continuous operation over the temperature range of 0°C to
+70°C.
