DESCRIPTION
The SA60 is a pulse width modulation amplifier that
can supply 10A continuous current to the load. The full
bridge amplifier can be operated over a wide range
of supply voltages. All of the drive/control circuitry for
the lowside and highside switches are internal to the
hybrid. The PWM circuitry is internal as well, leaving
the user to only provide an analog signal for the motor
speed/direction, or audio signal for switchmode audio
amplification. The internal PWM frequency can be programmed by an external integrator capacitor. Alternatively, the user may provide an external TTL-compatible
PWM signal for simultaneous amplitude and direction
control for four quadrant mode.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
A wide variety of loads can be driven in either the
11
LOAD
voltage mode or the current mode. The most common ap9
SA60
plications use three external blocks: a low pass filter con4
8
verting pulse width data to an analog output, a difference
12
amplifier to monitor voltage or current and an error ampli3
2
fier. Filter inductors must be suitable for square waves at
the switching frequency (laminated steel is generally not
acceptable). Filter capacitors must be low ESR and rated
for the expected ripple current. A difference amplifier with
gain of less than one translates the differential output voltage to a single feedback voltage. Dashed line connections
and a higher gain difference amplifier would be used for current control. The error amplifier integrates the difference
between the input and feedback voltages to close the loop.

Please read Application Note 30 on "PWM Basics". Refer to Application Note 1 "General Operating Considerations"

PWM OSCILLATOR – INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL
The SA60 contains an internal PWM oscillator whose frequency is determined by an external capacitor connected
between pin 1 and pin 2. Maximum frequency is 125 kHz. The user may also disregard the internal PWM oscillator
and supply the SA60 with an external TTL pulse generator up to 250KHZ.
PIN DESCRIPTION
VCC - is the low voltage supply for poweri ng internal logic and drivers for the lowside and highside MOSFETS.
The supplies for the highside drivers are derived from this voltage.
VS - is the higher voltage H-bridge supply. The MOSFETS obtain the output current from this supply pin. The voltage
on this pin is limited to +80V by the drive IC. The MOSFETS are rated at 100 volts.
ISENSE A & B - These are tied to power gnd directly or through sense resistors.
ANALOG GND - is the reference for the internal PWM oscillator. Connect this pin to pin 6. Connect low side of Vcc
supply and any other supply used to generate analog input signals to ANALOG GND.
ANALOG INPUT - is an analog input for controlling the PWM pulse width of the bridge. A voltage higher than Vcc/2
will produce greater than 50% duty cycle pulses out of B OUT. A voltage lower than Vcc/2 will produce greater
than 50% duty cycle pulses out of A OUT. If using in the digital mode, bias this point at 1/2 the logic high level.
DISABLE - Is the connection for disabling all 4 output switches. DISABLE high overrides all other inputs. When
taken low, everything functions normally. An internal pullup to Vcc will keep DISABLE high if pin left open.

SA60U

PWM INPUT - Is the TTL compatible digital input for controlling the PWM pulse width of the bridge. A duty cycle
greater than 50% will produce greater than 50% duty cycle pulses out of the A out. A duty cycle less than 50%
will produce greater than 50% duty cycle from the B out. For analog inputs, the integration capacitor for the
internal clock must be connected between this pin and analog ground. The internal switching frequency is programmable up to 125 kHz by selection of the integration capacitor. The formula is:

BYPASSING
Adequate bypassing of the power supplies is required for proper operation. Failure to do so can cause erratic and
low efficiency operation as well as excessive ringing at the outputs. The Vs supply should be bypassed with at
least a 1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with another low ESR capacitor of at least 10µF per amp of output current.
Capacitor types rated for switching applications are the only types that should be considered. The 1µF ceramic
capacitor must be physically connected directly to the Vs and POWER GND pins. Even one inch of lead length will
cause excessive ringing at the outputs. This is due to the very fast switching times and the inductance of the lead
connection. The bypassing requirements of the Vcc supply are less stringent, but still necessary. A .1µF to .47µF
ceramic capacitor connected directly to the Vcc and ANALOG GND pins will suffice.
PCB LAYOUT
The designer needs to appreciate that the SA60 combines in one circuit both high speed high power switching and
low level analog signals. Certain layout rules of thumb must be considered when a circuit board layout is designed
using the SA60:
1. Bypassing of the power supplies is critical. Capacitors must be connected directly to the power supply pins with
very short lead lengths (well under 1 inch). Ceramic chip capacitors are best.
2. Connect ANALOG GND to POWER GND with a conductor having no intermediate connections. Connect all Vs
power supply, filter and load related ground connections to POWER GND keeping these conductors separate
until reaching pin 6. Connect all Vcc power supply and input signal related ground connections to ANALOG
GND keeping conductors separate until reaching pin 1. Do not allow ground loops to form by making additional
ground connections at the low side of the physical power supplies. If ground plane is used do not allow more
than 1mA to flow through it.
3. Beware of capacitive coupling between output connections and signal inputs through the parasitic capacitance
between layers in multilayer PCB designs.
4. Do not run small signal traces between the pins of the output section (pins 8-12).
CURRENT SENSE
There are two load current sensing pins, I SENSE A and I SENSE B. The two pins can be shorted to POWER GND
in the voltage mode connection but both must be used in the current mode connection. It is recommended that R
SENSE resistors be non-inductive. Load current flows in the I SENSE pins. The SA60 has no internal current limit.
TRANSIENT SUPPRESSION
An RC network of a 100 pF Capacitor and a one ohm resistor is required as shown in the external connection diagram on page 1. This network assures proper operation under various loads. Minimal power is dissipated in the
resistor.
