An alternative mode of operation for the charge pump supports the use of an external low drop N-FET for reverse polarity protection. In this mode the charge pump boosts the output voltage relative to the supply voltage instead of relative to ground, see application diagram in Figure 4-2. The disadvantage is an additional amount of dissipation inside the driver to regulate VREG. The charge pump architecture is a supply voltage doubler with feedback loop for stable output voltage generation, as shown in Figure 12-2. It can be configured in EEPROM to either regulate the boosted output voltage VBOOST relative to ground or relative to the supply voltage, see Figure 12-3 for the typical output voltage. Furthermore the EEPROM configuration allows disabling the charge pump for applications not requiring the low voltage operation, in order to reduce the overall power consumption.

In addition the charge pump comprises a discharge switch in order to keep VBOOST output voltage in a safe operating area in case of over voltage on the supply input pin. The discharge switch is activated as soon as the supply voltage VSUP exceeds the V SUP_OVH threshold level and is deactivated when it drops below the V SUP_OVL threshold. At the same time the charge pump is deactivated.

Voltage Regulator - VREG The voltage regulator regulates the power supply down to 12V, in order to supply the low -side gate drivers and switch the external low-side N-FETs without gate-source over voltage at high battery voltages. The regulated output voltage VREG further provides the bootstrap voltage for driving the high -side N-FETs.

Digital Supply - VDD The MLX83100 comprises a current sense amplifier. The current sense amplifier and IO’s are supplied from the digital supply VDD. For safety reasons the pre-driver provides integrated under voltage detection on VDD. Note: When supplying VDD with a limited output impedance (e.g. from a microcontroller IO) the performance of the amplifier may be affected. 12.1.5. Sleep Mode Sleep mode is activated when the digital supply input VDD is pulled below “ VVDD sleep voltage threshold low”. In sleep mode the charge pump is disabled and the current consumption on VSUP is reduced. All gate drivers are switched off via sleep gate discharge resistors RSGD. The pre-driver will wake-up as soon as the voltage level on VDD rises above “VVDD sleep voltage threshold high”.

Gate Drivers 12.2.1. PWM Input Control Logic – FETBx & FETTx Each of the 4 external N-FETs can be controlled independently via the 4 digital PWM input pins: FETBx and FETTx. However, the digital logic provides the option to control the 2 external half bridges with only 2 control signals, by shorting high-side and low-side PWM input pins for each half bridge. The IC provides internal shoot through protection since the digital logic prevents simultaneous activation of both high-side and low-side driver of one half bridge. A configurable dead time ensures the high-side (lowside) N-FET is fully switched off, before switching on the complementary low-side (high-side) N-FET. For safety reasons the pre-driver provides integrated drain-source and gate-source monitoring for each of the 4 external N-FETs. FETTx Dead Time GATETx PHASEx EN Dead Time FETBx GATEBx Figure 12-5 Input control logic of the driver stage 12.2.2. Enable Input EN The enable input pin EN enables the gate driver outputs when set high. When reset, all gate driver outputs are switched to the low state, switching off all external N-FETs. This is performed by pulling all gate drivers to ground via the pull-down on-resistances. The enable pin can be used by the microcontroller to disable all drivers in case of any fault detection. While EN is low, the programming of the EEPROM via SPI can be initiated by pulling ICOM low for the SPI start-up time specified by tSPI_SU. 12.2.3. Gate Driver Supply and Bootstrap Architecture – VREG & CPx The voltage regulator regulates the power supply voltage down to 12V. The regulated voltage is used to directly supply the low-side drivers. To provide sufficient supply voltage for the high-side drivers a bootstrap architecture is used. When the low-side N-FET is switched on, the phase voltage will be pulled low and the bootstrap capacitor is charged from the VREG buffer capacitor through the bootstrap diode. Afterwards, if the low-side N-FET is switched off and the high-side N-FET is switched on, the charge of the bootstrap capacitor is used to supply sufficient gate drive voltage to the high-side N-FET. The integrated trickle charge pump assures the bootstrap capacitor will not be discharged, and allows 100% PWM operation.

Protection and Diagnostic Functions 12.4.1. Power Supply Over Voltage Shutdown (VSUP_OV) The pre-driver has an integrated VSUP over voltage shut down to prevent destruction of the IC at high supply voltages. 12.4.2. Power Supply Under Voltage Warning (VSUP_UV) The pre-driver has an integrated VSUP under voltage detection. The diagnostics interface will give a warning to the microcontroller. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to take action in order to ensure reliable operation. 12.4.3. Digital Supply Under Voltage Warning (VDD_UV) The pre-driver has an integrated VDD under voltage detection. The diagnostics interface will give a warning to the microcontroller. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to take action in order to ensure reliable communication between microcontroller and pre-driver. 12.4.4. VBOOST Under Voltage Warning (VBOOST_UV) The integrated charge pump boosts the supply voltage in low voltage operation on the VBOOST output. There is an under voltage detection on VBOOST to warn the microcontroller the charge pump is not ready. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to take action in order to ensure reliable motor operation. 12.4.5. Gate Driver Supply Over Voltage Warning/Shutdown (VREG_OV) The MLX83100 comprises an integrated VREG over voltage detection. The reaction of the pre-driver on this VREG_OV event depends on the status of the Bridge Feedback bit in EEPROM. If this VREG_OV_BF_EN bit is set the pre-driver will disable all gate drivers, switching off all external N-FETs. If the bit is reset it will just give a warning to the microcontroller. VREG_OV_BF_EN Pre-driver reaction VREG_OV event 0 VREG_OV is reported on ICOM, but the drivers remain active 1 VREG_OV is reported on ICOM and the drivers are disabled Table 12-3 EEPROM Configuration for VREG over voltage detection 12.4.6. Gate Driver Supply Under Voltage Warning (VREG_UV) The pre-driver detects when the regulated voltage drops below the under voltage threshold. The diagnostics interface will give a warning to the microcontroller. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to take action in order to ensure reliable switching of the external N-FETs, since the VREG voltage directly supplies the low-side gate drivers. REVISION 5.11 – OCTOBER 2021 3901083100 Page 24 of 42 MLX83100 Automotive 2-Phase DC Pre-Driver Datasheet 12.4.7. Gate Source Voltage Monitoring Warning (VGS_UV) In order to ensure reliable switching of the high-side N-FETs, the MLX83100 comprises gate-source monitors for each of the high-side N-FETs. In case of an under voltage, the diagnostics interface will give a warning to the microcontroller, if the gate-source comparators are enabled in EEPROM. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to take action in order to ensure reliable switching of the high-side gate drivers. 12.4.8. Over Temperature Warning (OVT) If the junction temperature exceeds the specified threshold, a warning will be communicated to the microcontroller. The pre-driver will continue in normal operation. It is the responsibility of the microcontroller to protect the IC against over temperature destruction. 12.4.9. Shoot Through Protection and Dead Time The pre-drivers’ internal implementation guarantees that low-side and high-side N-FET of the same external half bridge cannot be conducting at the same time, preventing a short between the supply and ground. In addition the pre-driver provides a programmable dead time in EEPROM. The dead time sets the delay between the moment when the high-side (low-side) N-FET is switched off, and the moment when the complementary low-side (high-side) N-FET can be switched on. 12.4.10. Drain-Source Voltage Monitoring Warning/Shutdown (VDS_ERR) The MLX83100 provides a drain-source voltage monitoring feature for each external N-FET to protect against short circuits to ground or supply. For the high-sides the drain-source voltage are sensed via the VBATF –and PHASEx-pins. For the low-sides the PHASEx –and IBP-pins are used. The drain-source voltage comparator can be enabled or disabled in EEPROM. The drain-source voltage monitor for a certain external N-FET is activated when the corresponding input is switched on and the dead time has passed. An additional blanking time can be programmed in EEPROM. If the drain-source voltage remains higher than the VDS monitor threshold voltage, the VDS error is raised. The threshold voltage is configurable in EEPROM. The reaction of the pre-driver on a VDS error can be configured in EEPROM with the Bridge Feedback bit. If this bit is set the pre-driver automatically disables the drivers when a VDS error is detected. If the bit is reset, the drivers remain active. In both cases the VDS error will be reported to the microcontroller.

EEPROM Error Warning (EEP_ERR) To ensure reliable communication with EEPROM the pre-driver provides an automatic single bit error correction and double error detection. If two bits in the addressed word are bad the EEPROM gives the EEP_ERR warning, indicating a double error was detected. 12.4.12. Diagnostics Interface – ICOM All diagnostic events described above are reported to the microcontroller via a single pin, ICOM. In normal operation, when no error is detected, ICOM is default high. The ICOM interface acts as a serial interface that feeds back detailed diagnostics information. If an error is detected, ICOM goes from default high to communicating a PWM-signal. The speed of this PWM signal depends on the EEPROM configuration of bit PWM_SPEED. Each error corresponds to a duty cycle with a 5bit resolution. Thus the microcontroller can distinguish different errors by reading the duty cycle, see Table 12-7. PWM_SPEED Description 0 Slow mode: for slow microcontrollers 1 Fast mode : for fastest response of microcontroller Table 12-5 EEPROM Configuration for diagnostics communication speed The duty cycle is transmitted until the microcontroller sends the acknowledgement. This is done by pulling ICOM low for more than a PWM-period, tAck > tICOM. At each ICOM falling edge the pre-driver checks the actual voltage on ICOM in order to detect an acknowledgement. After acknowledgement the duty cycle of the next error is transmitted, if multiple errors were detected. All errors have been reported when the endof-frame duty cycle is send. When all errors are physically removed, and the end-of-frame message is acknowledged by the microcontroller, ICOM returns to its default high state. Physical Error ICOM Default high Error Information End-of-Frame Default high MCU Acknowledge Figure 12-7 ICOM Diagnostics Communication REVISION 5.11 – OCTOBER 2021 3901083100 Page 26 of 42 MLX83100 Automotive 2-Phase DC Pre-Driver Datasheet Notes: 1. When VDD is pulled low to put the pre-driver in sleep mode, ICOM will go low as well. This should not be interpreted as a diagnostic interrupt. As soon as VDD goes high, the pre-driver wakes-up and ICOM will return to its default high state. 2. At POR it is possible that the voltages on VSUP and VREG were not above the under voltage thresholds (e.g. due to charging of external capacitors). It is possible that ICOM reports these under voltage errors after POR. This implies that the microcontroller has to acknowledge these errors before ICOM will be in its default high state and the pre-driver is ready for normal operation.
