Three-Phase Power MOSFET Controller A3938EQ, 32-pin PLCC A3938LQ, 36-pin QSOP A3938LD, 38-pin TSSOP The A3938 is a three-phase, brushless dc motor controller. The A3938 high-current gate drive capability allows driving of a wide range of power MOSFETs and can support motor supply voltages to 50 V. The A3938 integrates a bootstrapped high-side driver to minimize the external component count required to drive N-channel MOSFET drivers. Internal fixed off-time, PWM current-control circuitry can be used to regulate the maximum load current to a desired value. The peak load current limit is set by the user's selection of an input reference voltage and external sensing resistor. A user-selected external RC timing network sets the fixed off-time pulse duration. For added flexibility, the PWM input can provide speed/torque control where the internal current control circuit sets a limit on the maximum current. The A3938 includes a synchronous rectification feature. This shorts out the current path through the power MOSFET reverse body diodes during PWM off-cycle current decay. This can minimize power dissipation in the MOSFETs, eliminate the need for external power clamp diodes, and potentially allow a more economical choice for the MOSFET drivers. The A3938 provides commutation logic for Hall sensors configured for 120-degree spacing. The Hall input pins are pulled-up to an internallygenerated 5 V reference. Power MOSFET protection features include: bootstrap capacitor charging current monitor, regulator undervoltage monitor, motor lead short-to-ground, and thermal shutdown. The LD package is available in a lead-free version (100% matte tin plated leadframe).

A logic input that enables the device. Has internal 50 k pull-up to LCAP. Setting RESET to 1 coasts or brakes the motor, depending on the state of the BRKSEL pin. Setting RESET to 0 enables the gate drive to follow commutation logic. Setting RESET to 1 overrides the BRAKE pin. GLA/GLB/GLC. Low-side gate drive outputs for external MOSFET drivers. External series gate resistors can be used to control slew rate seen at the power driver gate, thereby controlling the di/dt and dv/dt of Sx outputs. SA/SB/SC. Directly connected to the motor terminals, these pins sense the voltages switched across the load. The pins are also connected to the negative side of the bootstrap capacitors and the negative supply connections for the floating high-side drivers. GHA/GHB/GHC. High-side gate drive outputs for N-channel MOSFET drivers. External series gate resistors can be used to control slew rate seen at the power driver gate, thereby controlling the di/dt and dv/dt of Sx outputs. CA/CB/CC. High-side connections for bootstrap capacitors, providing positive supply for high-side gate drivers. The bootstrap capacitors are charged to approximately VREG when the output Sx terminals go low. When the outputs swing high, the voltages on these pins rise with the outputs to provide the boosted gate voltages needed for the N-channel power MOSFETs. MODE. Logic input to set current-decay mode. In response to a PWM Off command, Slow Decay mode (MODE = 1) switches off the high-side FET, and Fast Decay mode (MODE = 0) switches off the high-side and low-side FETs. Has an internal 50 k pull-up to LCAP. H1/H2/H3. Hall sensor inputs with internal, 50 k pull-ups to LCAP. Configured for 120-degree electrical spacing. DIR. Logic input to reverse rotation (see the table Commutation Truth Table, on the next page). Has internal, 50 k pull-up to LCAP. FAULT. Open-drain output to indicate fault condition. Will be pulled high (usually by 5.1 k external pull-up) for any of the following fault conditions: * Invalid Hall sensor input code (coasts the motor). * Undervoltage condition detected at VREG (coasts or brakes the motor depending on stored setting for BRKSEL). * Thermal shutdown (coasts the motor). * Motor lead (SA/SB/SC) connected to ground (turns off only the high-side power MOSFETs). Only the "short-to-ground" fault is latched, but it is cleared at each commutation. If the motor has stalled due to a shortto-ground being detected, toggling the RESET pin or repeating a power-up sequence clears the fault. BRAKE. Logic input for braking function. Setting BRAKE to 1 turns on low-side MOSFETs, and turns off the high-side MOSFETs. This effectively shorts the BEMF in the windings and brakes the motor. Internal 50 k pull-up to LCAP. Setting RESET to 1 overrides this BRAKE pin. See also BRKSEL. BRKCAP. This pin is for connection of the reservoir capacitor used to provide the positive power supply for the sink drive outputs for a power-down condition. This allows predictable braking, if desired. Using a 4.7 F capacitor will provide 6.5 V gate drive for 300 ms. If the power-down braking option is not needed (i.e., BRKSEL = 0), then this pin should be tied to VREG. BRKSEL. Logic input to enable/disable braking upon power-down condition or RESET = 1. Internal 50 k pull-up to LCAP. Setting BRKSEL to 0 enables Coast mode. Setting BRKSEL to 1 enables Brake mode. PWM. Speed control input. Setting PWM to 1 turns on MOSFETs selected by Hall input logic. Setting PWM to 0 turns off the selected MOSFETs. Keep the PWM input held high to utilize internal current control circuitry. Internal 50 k pull-up to LCAP. RC. Analog input. Connection for RT and CT to set the fixed off-time. CT also sets the BLANK time (see the section Application Information). It is recommended that the fixed off-time should not be less than 10 s. The resistor should be in the range between 10 k and 500 k. VREG. Regulated 13 V supply for the low-side gate drive and the bootstrap capacitor charge circuit. As a regulator, use a 10 F decoupling/storage capacitor (ESR < 1 ) from this pin to AGND, as close to the device pins as possible. Note: For 12 V applications, the VREG pin should be shorted to VBB. www.allegromicro.com 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 5 Data Sheet 26301.104B A3938 Three-Phase Power MOSFET Controller VBB.

It is good practice to connect a decoupling capacitor from this pin to AGND, as close to the device pins as possible. is selected to adjust turn-off time to turn-on time. This delay is needed to prevent cross-conduction in the external power MOSFETs. See the section Application Information for details on setting dead time. REF.

To reduce power consumption in the external MOSFETs, during the load current recirculation PWM-off cycle, the A3938 control logic turns on the appropriate low-side driver only. The reverse body diode of the power MOSFET conducts only during the dead time required at each PWM transition, as usual. However, unlike full synchronous rectification, the opposite high-side FET's body diode (not the RdsON) will carry the re-circulating current, be self-extinguishing, and not force the motor to reverse direction. Dead Time. To prevent cross-conduction, it is required to have a delay between a high-side or low-side turn-off, and the next turn-on event. The potential for cross-conduction occurs with synchronous rectification, direction changes, PWM, or after a bootstrap capacitor charging cycle. This dead-time is set via a resistor from the DEAD pin to LCAP and can be varied from 100 ns to 5.5 s. For a nominal case, given: * 25C ambient temperature, and * 5.6 k < Rdead < 470 k, tdead (nom,ns) = 37 + [(11.9 x10 ) x (R -3 dead + 500)] For predicting worst-case overvoltage and temperature extremes, use the following equations: tdead (min,ns) = 10 + [(6.55 x10 ) x (R dead + 350)] x10 ) x(R dead + 650)] tdead (max,ns) = 63 + [(17.2 -3 -3 For nominal comparison with Idead currents, also at 25C ambient temperature: Idead = (Vlcap - Vbe) / (Rdead + Rint) Decoupling. The internal reference VREG supplies current for the gate drive circuit. As the gates are driven high, they will require current from an external decoupling capacitor to support the transients. This capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VREG pin. The value of the capacitor should be at least 20 times larger than the bootstrap capacitor. Additionally, a 1 nF (or larger) ceramic monolithic capacitor should be connected between LCAP and AGND, as close to the device pins as possible. Protection Circuitry. The A3938 has several protection features: * Bootstrap Monitor. The bootstrap capacitor is charged whenever a sink-side MOSFET is on, an Sx output goes low, or load current recirculates. This happens constantly during normal operation. Note: The high side will not be allowed to turn on before the charging has decayed to less than approximately 9 mA. * Undervoltage. VREG supplies the low-side gate driver and the bootstrap charge current. It is critical to ensure that the voltages are at a proper level before enabling any of the outputs. The undervoltage circuit is active during power-up and signals a fault, and also coasts or brakes (depending on the stored BRKSEL setting) the motor during that time period, until VREG is greater than approximately 10 V. On powering down, a fault is signaled and the motor is coasted or braked, depending on the stored setting for BRKSEL. * Hall Invalid. Illegal codes for the Hall sensor inputs (0,0,0 or 1,1,1) force a fault and coast the motor. Noisy Hall lines may cause Hall code errors, and therefore faults. Additional external pull-up loading and filtering may be required in some systems. where Vlcap = 5 V, Vbe = 0.7 V, and Rint = 500 . Hint: Use dividers to the VREG terminal, than to the LCAP terminal, because the VREG terminal has more current capability. Rather than use Rdead values near 470 k, set Vdead = 0 V, which activates an internal (Idead = 10 A) current source. 165C cause the A3938 to signal a fault and coast the motor. The choice of power MOSFET and external gate resistance determines the selection of the dead-time resistor. The dead time should be made long enough to cover the variation of the MOSFET capacitance and gate resistor tolerances (both external and internal to the A3938). * Motor Lead. The A3938 signals a fault if the motor lead is shorted to ground. A short-to-ground is assumed after a high- side is turned on and greater than 2 V is measured between the drain (VBB) and source (Sx) of the high-side power MOSFET. This fault is cleared at the beginning of * Thermal Shutdown. Junction temperatures greater than www.allegromicro.com 115 Northeast Cutoff, Box 15036 Worcester, Massachusetts 01615-0036 (508) 853-5000 7 Data Sheet 26301.104B A3938 Three-Phase Power MOSFET Controller each commutation. If a stalled motor results from a fault, the fault can only be cleared by toggling the RESET pin or by a power-up sequence. Current Regulation. Load current can be regulated by an internal fixed off-time, PWM-control circuit. When the outputs of the MOSFETs are turned on, current increases in the motor winding until it reaches a value given by: tBLANK = 1.9 xC T / (1 x 10 -3 - [2 / RT]) The user must ensure that CT is large enough to cover the current spike duration. Braking. The A3938 dynamically brakes the motor by ITRIP = VREF / RSENSE At the trip point, the sense comparator resets the source enable latch, turning off the source driver. At this point, load inductance causes the current to recirculate for the fixed offtime period. The current path during recirculation is determined by the configuration of the MODE and SR input pins. The fixed off-time is determined by an external resistor, RT, and capacitor, CT, connected in parallel from the RC terminal to AGND. The fixed off-time is approximated by: tOFF = RT of the power MOSFETs. To prevent false tripping of the sense comparator, the BLANK function disables the comparator for a time period defined by: xC T tOFF should be in the range between 10 s and 50 s. Larger values for tOFF could result in audible noise problems. For proper circuit operation, 10 k < RT < 500 k. Torque control can be implemented by varying the REF input voltage as long as the PWM input stays high. If direct control of the torque/current is desired by PWM input, a voltage can be applied to the REF pin to set an absolute maximum current limit. PWM Blank. The capacitor CT also serves as the means to set the BLANK time duration. At the end of a PWM off-cycle, a high-side gate selected by the commutation logic turns on. At this time, large current transients can occur during the reverse recovery time, trr, of the intrinsic body diodes forcing all low-side power MOSFETs on, and all high-side power MOSFETs off. This effectively short-circuits the BEMF and brakes the motor. During braking, the load current can be approximated by: IBRAKEPEAK = VBEMF / RLOAD As the current does not flow through the sense resistor during a dynamic brake, care should be taken to ensure that the maximum ratings of the power MOSFETs are not exceeded. Note: On its rising edge, a RESET setting of 1 overrides the BRAKE input pin and latches the condition selected by the BRKSEL pin. Power Loss Brake. The BRKCAP and BRKSEL pins provide a power-down braking option. A Power-Loss Brake Trigger Event, which is either an undervoltage on VREG or a RESET = 1 rising edge, is sensed by the A3938, which then dynamically brakes or coasts (depending on the stored BRKSEL setting) the motor. The reservoir capacitor on the BRKCAP pin provides the positive voltage that forces the low-side gates of the power MOSFETs high, keeping them on, even after supply voltage is lost. A stored setting of BRKSEL = 1 brakes the motor, but a stored setting of BRKSEL = 0 coasts it. The combined effect of these settings is shown in the table Brake Control.
