DB74HU
SA57-
Demonstration Board for the SA57
INTRODUCTION
The DB74HU is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the SA57 DC brush motor driver IC. This fully assembled demonstration allows the user to directly control the speed and direction of the motor. An onboard circuit
controls the direction and provides four quadrant PWM signals to control the power outputs of the SA57. LEDs
provide visual feedback for motor control status and fault indications. Provisions on the DB74HU allow the user to
bypass the onboard control circuit and directly interface with the SA57 motor driver.
The DB74HU demonstrates proper layout techniques for the SA57 high current switching amplifier. The economical
construction uses only a two-sided PCB and allows the SA57 to deliver peak power of over 1kW.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The SA57 is available in a surface mount package
which can deliver peak power of over 1kW. This presents an obvious and significant thermal challenge.
The DB74HU offers a compact design which can deliver 17A peak current and dissipate approximately
20W in still air at 25ºC ambient temperature. To use
the DB74HU in higher power applications, use a fan or
mount a heatsink with larger thermal mass. Although
the SA57 is rated for operation from -25 to +85ºC, the
other components on the DB74HU are limited to 0 to
70ºC ambient temperature.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The DB74HU control circuit receives power via two terminal block connections. The Vs connection supplies
power to drive the motor and must be above the undervoltage lockout threshold of the SA57, approximately 8.3V. The Figure
control circuit requires 12V for proper operation. A regulator on the
DB74HU provides the 5V logic supply for the SA57. There are no special
considerations for sequencing the two supplies.
Figure 2 (next page) shows the user control features of the DB74HU. The
PWM duty cycle is controlled with the potentiometer. LED5 will illuminate
when the 12V supply is connected. The DB74HU will power up with the
SA57 disabled. The enable button will toggle the SA57 on and off with
LED2 illuminating to indicate the enable status. Direction of the motor is
similarly controlled with the button and is indicated by the LED.
The DB74HU monitors the Temperature warning status pin of the SA57.
If this pin goes high LED4 illuminates and the enable circuit is forced to a
disable status. The temperature LED is not latched and may stay illuminated only briefly while the temperature of the SA57 is above 135ºC. The
temperature decrease rapidly via the heatsink once the SA57 is disabled.
The SA57 current limit feature is set to limit at approximately 15A to provide
a demonstration of the full capabilities of the SA57. LED3 will illuminate if
the SA57 cycle-by-cycle current limit circuit engages. The thermal and
current limit features are robust, but will not protect the SA57 in all circumstances. The user must consider the worst case thermal and power
dissipation conditions.
Push-button switches 1 and 2 trigger latches for direction and enable control, respectively. Diodes D7 & D8 and resistors R24, 25, 29 & 30 provide
a means of bypassing the DB74HU control circuit. The 5V regulator, U3,
provides 5V to the SA57, the latches and the status LEDs.

ENHANCING & BYPASSING THE DB74HU CONTROL CIRCUIT:
Connector J5 allows the user to bypass many of the manual control features of the DB74HU. A signal generator
can control the duty cycle with a 2.5 to 7.5V signal, overriding the control potentiometer. A rising 5V edge on pin 3
or 4 of connector J5 will toggle the Direction or Enable latches, respectively. By jumping resistors R24 & R25, the
latches are bypassed completely and the logic signals on pins 3 & 4 will directly control the direction and enable
functions of the DB74HU. With these resistors jumped, the direction and enable LEDs will not represent the states
of the DB74HU and the pushbuttons will have no effect on the operation. The Temperature disable feature of the
DB74HU will also not function, although LED4 will continue to provide over-temperature status.
Connector J4 is connected directly to the PWM input pins of the SA57. This connector may be used to monitor the
signals or to bypass the control IC on the DB74HU. The enable function is not controlled via these pins, although
pulling all four input pins low provides the same effect. The Enable pushbutton and the connection via J5 are also
effective as previously described. The circuit shown in figure 3 in the dashed box is a simple circuit that allows the
user to monitor and control the enable or direction status remotely. Either feature can be toggled on the falling edge
of the signal at the node labeled TOGGLE.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
A simple two layer construction is sufficient because of the convenient pinout of the SA57 input signals are routed
into one side of the package and high power output signals are routed from the other side in 2 ounce copper. This
eliminates the need to route control signals near motor connections where noise may corrupt the signals. Filling
top and bottom layers with copper reduces inductive coupling from the high current outputs. 1nF capacitors with
excellent high frequency characteristics bypass the Vs motor supplies on each phase. Two 150μF electrolytic
capacitors provide a local, low inductance source to accommodate surge currents up to 17A. Six 100V Schottky

DB74HUU
DB74HU
diodes conduct the commutation current via low forward voltage paths which reduces the power dissipation in the
SA57. These diodes are rated for 5A continuous and are mounted close to the SA57 to reduce inductance in the
commutating current loop. For applications with continuous currents less than 5A, the Schottky diodes may not be
necessary if the higher forward voltage internal body diodes and the associated power dissipation are manageable
during commutation cycles.
Figure 3 shows the top and bottom layouts of the DB74HU. Gerber files for the circuit board are available upon
