Description

Package
P-DSO-24-3
TLE 4726 is a bipolar, monolithic IC for driving bipolar stepper motors, DC motors and
other inductive loads that operate on constant current. The control logic and power
output stages for two bipolar windings are integrated on a single chip which permits
switched current control of motors with 0.75 A per phase at operating voltages up to
50 V.
The direction and value of current are programmed for each phase via separate control
inputs. A common oscillator generates the timing for the current control and turn-on with
phase offset of the two output stages. The two output stages in a full-bridge configuration
have integrated, fast free-wheeling diodes and are free of crossover current. The logic
is supplied either separately with 5 V or taken from the motor supply voltage by way of
a series resistor and an integrated Z-diode. The device can be driven directly by a
microprocessor with the possibility of all modes from full step through half step to mini
step.

Input Phase 1;
controls the current through phase winding 1. On
H-potential the phase current flows from Q11 to Q12, on L-potential in
the reverse direction.

Oscillator;
works at approx. 25 kHz if this pin is wired to ground across
2.2 nF.
Resistor
R
1
for sensing the current in phase 1.
Push-pull outputs Q11, Q12
for phase 1 with integrated free-wheeling
diodes.
Supply voltage;
block to ground, as close as possible to the IC, with a
stable electrolytic capacitor of at least 10
µF
in parallel with a ceramic
capacitor of 220 nF.
Logic supply voltage;
either supply with 5 V or connect to +
V
S
across
a series resistor. A Z-diode of approx. 7 V is integrated. In both cases
block to ground directly on the IC with a stable electrolytic capacitor of
10
µF
in parallel with a ceramic capacitor of 100 nF.
Push-pull outputs Q22, Q21
for phase 2 with integrated free-wheeling
diodes.
Resistor
R
2
for sensing the current in phase 2.
Inhibit input;
the IC can be put on standby by low potential on this pin.
This reduces the current consumption substantially.
Input phase 2;
controls the current flow through phase winding 2. On
H-potential the phase current flows from Q21 to Q22, on L potential in
the reverse direction.
