Protection circuits include undervoltage lockout assure safe gate-drive levels, timing delays prevent cross-conduction, monitor short circuits half-bridge output (S1). internal voltage regulator drops input voltage (V+) nominal low-side circuitry, which allows Si9976DY operate over input voltage range device specified over industrial temperature range (-40_ +85_C). charge MOSFET turn-on. However, drawbacks when used alone. First, bootstrap capacitor must recharged after every MOSFET turn-on. Second, bootstrap supply cannot sustain MOSFET state indefinitely because gate leakage current continues deplete charge bootstrap capacitor. charge pump meanwhile, provide continuous source charge, fully integrated form cannot provide sufficient charge MOSFET turn-on typical modulation frequencies. Combining techniques solves these problems. bootstrap supply provides turn-on charge while charge pump provides leakage current allow static operation. Because bootstrap supply used, bootstrap capacitor must charged immediately after power then recharged after every high-side turn Likewise, low-side MOSFET must turned complete charging circuit bootstrap capacitor. Some drive schemes toggle between bottom MOSFETs, which accomplishes required charge recharge bootstrap capacitor automatically. important understand that charge pump operates only when high-side turned bootstrap capacitor provides charge that turns high-side MOSFET. This capacitor should sized such that will hold times charge required turn MOSFET fully (i.e., typical capacitor value calculated using equation CBOOT (Qg/VGS). value taken from gate charge curve MOSFET being driven Using this method capacitor selection, bootstrap voltage will drop approximately when MOSFET turned 0.01-mF capacitor works well Si9955DY, which requires 10-nC charge turn with

Cross Conduction Protection
Turn-on delays have been incorporated prevent cross conduction half-bridge MOSFETs (Figure high-side MOSFET turned only after 250-ns time delay, which initiated low-side output, switching ground. low-side MOSFET turned only after 300-ns delay which initiated high-side control logic. These delays prevent half-bridge MOSFET from turning before other completely turned off. difference method generating delays occurs because high-side output, level shifted with respect

When undervoltage condition longer exists, FAULT output will cleared normal function will resume. separate undervoltage lockout circuit, UVL1, monitors bootstrap voltage. undervoltage condition exists when line switched high, this circuit will prevent high-side MOSFET from turning addition, following conditions will exist. high result inductive flyback current through high-side MOSFET's body-drain diode short from V+), high-side MOSFET will allowed turn soon undervoltage condition been removed. low, high-side MOSFET will allowed turn only after undervoltage condition been removed line been toggled back high.

Sign-Magnitude Control
secondary function, Si9976 used sign-magnitude controls. this approach, direction rotation determined diagonal pair MOSFETs that turned speed controlled pulse width modulation active diagonal pair. logic required control H-bridge more complex need steer pulse width modulation signal active MOSFET pair. circuit Figure applies signal only low-side active MOSFET. There couple things aware this mode operation. Application signal input when input held will create erroneous Fault signal which inverse signal. This eliminated applying inverse signal input shown Figure Secondly, care must taken ensure that bootstrap capacitor been charged prior high-side turn low-side on-times decrease, this becomes greater concern. Minimum low-side on-times must observed ensure that high-side will turn Remember that this minimum time reduced adding external bootstrap diode (see Figure When this done, increases load therefore decoupling capacitor. value decoupling capacitor should doubled prevent undervoltage condition from occurring.

Anti-Phase Control
Si9976 designed used anti-phase control strategy. This approach unique that signal controls both speed direction with duty cycle alone. Zero duty cycle defines zero full speed direction, duty cycle zero speed, 100% duty cycle defines zero full speed opposite direction. This approach ensures that bootstrap capacitor always charged, since H-bridge continuously switching. basic hook-up anti-phase H-bridge very simple. half-bridge driven directly with signal, other half-bridge driven with inverse signal (see Figure

Full-Bridge Application
Figure shows basic implementation Si9976DY Si9955DY full-bridge configuration. Each half-bridge made Si9976DY driver Si9955DY LITTLE FOOT dual n-channel MOSFET, bootstrap capacitor, filter capacitor VDD, decoupling capacitors each This configuration yields full-bridge circuit with continuous current rating without heatsinking. Si9959DY Si9940DY yields current ratings respectively. circuit which generates signals with fast rise fall times generate noise. This noise, dealt with, affect operation circuit. Proper board layout techniques device decoupling will take care these problems. signal ground trace from Si9976DY trace from low-side MOSFET source should separately common ground point. This prevents noise generated fast MOSFET transitions from modulating signal ground Si9976DY. Similarly, trace input Si9976DY trace drain high-side MOSFET should connected separately supply bypass capacitor. addition layout considerations, decoupling capacitors required deal with noise. Adding capacitors across power supply lines, VDD, VCC, provides impedance ground switching noise serves local energy reservoir when there demand surge current. capacitor provides surge current required turn low-side MOSFET. addition basic decoupling, capacitors added across half-bridge itself minimize surge current power supply traces, therefore reduce generated noise. Although single capacitor, typically 0.01 works well decouple single pin, advisable apply several decades capacitance across input power, GND, handle broad spectrum noise that present. high-frequency (lower value) capacitors should located close possible device being decoupled, while larger capacitors located farther away bypass only power supply. Figure shows typical layout Si9976DY with LITTLE FOOT dual n-channel MOSFETs. surface-mount packages allows automated assembly entire motor drive circuit, without need separate heatsink associated material assembly costs.
