IP Network Camera and Video Conferencing
Vacuum, humanoid, and toy robotics
configured as two full H-bridges, charge pump
regulator, current sensing and regulation, and
protection circuitry. The integrated current sensing
uses an internal current mirror architecture, removing
the need for a large power shunt resistor, saving
board area and reducing system cost. A low-power
sleep mode is provided to achieve ultra- low quiescent
current draw by shutting down most of the internal
circuitry. Internal protection features are provided for
supply undervoltage lockout (UVLO), charge pump
undervoltage (CPUV), output overcurrent (OCP), and
device overtemperature (TSD). The DRV8436E/P is
capable of driving up to 1.5-A full scale or 1.1-A rms
output current per H-bridge (dependent on PCB
design).

SLVSFF0A – JUNE 2020 – REVISED AUGUST 2020
7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The DRV8436E/P are integrated motor driver solutions for bipolar stepper motors or dual brushed-DC motors.
The devices integrate two N-channel power MOSFET H-bridges, integrated current sense and regulation
circuitry. The DRV8436E/P can be powered with a supply voltage between 4.5 and 48 V. The devices are
capable of providing an output current up to 2.4-A peak, 1.5-A full-scale, or 1.1-A root mean square (rms). The
actual full-scale and rms current depends on the ambient temperature, supply voltage, and PCB thermal
capability.
The DRV8436E/P devices use an integrated current-sense architecture which eliminates the need for two
external power sense resistors. This architecture removes the power dissipated in the sense resistors by using a
current mirror approach and using the internal power MOSFETs for current sensing. The current regulation set
point is adjusted by the voltage at the VREFA and VREFB pins. These features reduce external component cost,
board PCB size, and system power consumption.
A simple PH/EN (DRV8436E) or PWM (DRV8436P) interface allows easy interfacing to the controller circuit.
The current regulation is highly configurable, with several decay modes of operation. The decay mode can be
selected as a smart tune Dynamic Decay, fixed slow, mixed, or fast decay. The smart tune decay mode
automatically adjusts the decay setting to minimize current ripple while still reacting quickly to step changes. This
feature greatly simplifies stepper driver integration into a motor drive system. The PWM off-time, tOFF, can be
adjusted to 7, 16, 24, or 32 μs.
A low-power sleep mode is included which allows the system to save power when not driving the motor.

7.3.3 Current Regulation
The current through the motor windings is regulated by an adjustable, off-time PWM current-regulation circuit.
When an H-bridge is enabled, current rises through the winding at a rate dependent on the DC voltage,
inductance of the winding, and the magnitude of the back EMF present. When the current hits the current
regulation threshold, the bridge enters a decay mode for a period of time determined by the TOFF pin setting to
decrease the current. After the off-time expires, the bridge is re-enabled, starting another PWM cycle.

The PWM chopping current is set by a comparator which monitors the voltage across the current sense
MOSFETs in parallel with the low-side power MOSFETs. To generate the reference voltage for the current
chopping comparator, the VREFx input is attenuated by a factor of Kv.
The chopping current (IFS) can be calculated as IFS (A) = VREFx (V) / KV (V/A) = VREFx (V) / 2.2 (V/A).

7.3.4 Decay Modes
During PWM current chopping, the H-bridge is enabled to drive through the motor winding until the PWM current
chopping threshold is reached. This is shown in Figure 7-5, Item 1.
Once the chopping current threshold is reached, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or
slow decay. In fast decay mode, once the PWM chopping current level has been reached, the H-bridge reverses
state to allow winding current to flow in a reverse direction. The opposite FETs are turned on; as the winding
current approaches zero, the bridge is disabled to prevent any reverse current flow. Fast decay mode is shown
in Figure 7-5, item 2. In slow decay mode, winding current is re-circulated by enabling both of the low-side FETs
in the bridge. This is shown in Figure 7-5, Item 3.
Figure 7-5. Decay Modes
The decay mode is selected by setting the quad-level ADECAY and BDECAY pins as shown in Table 7-5.

Figure 7-6. Slow Decay Mode
During slow decay, both of the low-side FETs of the H-bridge are turned on, allowing the current to be
recirculated.
Slow decay exhibits the least current ripple of the decay modes for a given tOFF. However on decreasing current
steps, slow decay will take a long time to settle to the new ITRIP level because the current decreases very
slowly. If the current at the end of the off time is above the ITRIP level, slow decay will be extended for another
off time duration and so on, till the current at the end of the off time is below ITRIP level.
In cases where current is held for a long time, slow decay may not properly regulate current because no backEMF is present across the motor windings. In this state, motor current can rise very quickly, and may require a
large off-time. In some cases this may cause a loss of current regulation, and a more aggressive decay mode is
recommended.

During fast decay, the polarity of the H-bridge is reversed. The H-bridge will be turned off as current approaches
zero in order to prevent current flow in the reverse direction.
Fast decay exhibits the highest current ripple of the decay modes for a given tOFF. Transition time on decreasing
current steps is much faster than slow decay since the current is allowed to decrease much faster.

7.3.4.4 Smart tune Dynamic Decay

traditional fixed off-time current regulation schemes. Smart tune current regulation scheme helps the stepper

Figure 7-9. Smart tune Dynamic Decay Mode
Smart tune Dynamic Decay greatly simplifies the decay mode selection by automatically configuring the decay
mode between slow, mixed, and fast decay. In mixed decay, smart tune dynamically adjusts the fast decay
percentage of the total mixed decay time. This feature eliminates motor tuning by automatically determining the
best decay setting that results in the lowest ripple for the motor.
The decay mode setting is optimized iteratively each PWM cycle. If the motor current overshoots the target trip
level, then the decay mode becomes more aggressive (add fast decay percentage) on the next cycle to prevent
regulation loss. If a long drive time must occur to reach the target trip level, the decay mode becomes less
aggressive (remove fast decay percentage) on the next cycle to operate with less ripple and more efficiently. On
falling steps, smart tune Dynamic Decay automatically switches to fast decay to reach the next step quickly.
Smart tune Dynamic Decay is optimal for applications that require minimal current ripple but want to maintain a
fixed frequency in the current regulation scheme.

7.3.4.5 Blanking time
After the current is enabled (start of drive phase) in an H-bridge, the current sense comparator is ignored for a
period of time (tBLANK) before enabling the current-sense circuitry. The blanking time also sets the minimum drive
time of the PWM. The blanking time is approximately 860ns.
7.3.5 Charge Pump
A charge pump is integrated to supply a high-side N-channel MOSFET gate-drive voltage. The charge pump
requires a capacitor between the VM and VCP pins to act as the storage capacitor. Additionally a ceramic
capacitor is required between the CPH and CPL pins to act as the flying capacitor.

7.3.6 Linear Voltage Regulators
A linear voltage regulator is integrated in the device. The DVDD regulator can be used to provide a reference
voltage. DVDD can supply a maximum of 2 mA load. For proper operation, bypass the DVDD pin to GND using
a ceramic capacitor.
The DVDD output is nominally 5-V. When the DVDD LDO current load exceeds 2 mA, the output voltage drops
significantly.
Figure 7-11. Linear Voltage Regulator Block Diagram
If a digital input must be tied permanently high (that is, ADECAY, BDECAY or TOFF), tying the input to the DVDD
pin instead of an external regulator is preferred. This method saves power when the VM pin is not applied or in
sleep mode: the DVDD regulator is disabled and current does not flow through the input pulldown resistors. For
reference, logic level inputs have a typical pulldown of 200 kΩ.
The nSLEEP pin cannot be tied to DVDD, else the device will never exit sleep mode.

In a stepper motor, the full-scale current (IFS) is the maximum current driven through either winding. This quantity
depends on the VREFx voltage. The maximum allowable voltage on the VREFx pins is 3.3 V. DVDD can be
used to provide VREFx through a resistor divider.
IFS (A) = VREF (V) / 2.2 (V/A)
Note
The IFS current must also follow the equation shown below to avoid saturating the motor. VM is the

Next, the driving waveform needs to be planned. In order to command the correct speed, determine the
frequency of the input waveform.
If the target motor speed is too high, the motor will not spin. Make sure that the motor can support the target
speed.

8.2.2.3 Decay Modes
The device supports several different decay modes: slow decay, fast decay, mixed decay, and smart tune. The
current through the motor windings is regulated using an adjustable fixed-time-off scheme. This means that after
any drive phase, when a motor winding current has hit the current chopping threshold (ITRIP), the device will
place the winding in one of the decay modes for TOFF. After TOFF, a new drive phase starts.

Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply (VM) range from 4.5 V to 48 V. A 0.01-µF
ceramic capacitor rated for VM must be placed at each VM pin as close to the device as possible. In addition, a
bulk capacitor must be included on VM.
8.1 Bulk Capacitance
Having appropriate local bulk capacitance is an important factor in motor drive system design. It is generally
beneficial to have more bulk capacitance, while the disadvantages are increased cost and physical size.
The amount of local capacitance needed depends on a variety of factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The highest current required by the motor system
The power supply’s capacitance and ability to source current
The amount of parasitic inductance between the power supply and motor system
The acceptable voltage ripple
The type of motor used (brushed DC, brushless DC, stepper)
The motor braking method
The inductance between the power supply and motor drive system will limit the rate current can change from the
power supply. If the local bulk capacitance is too small, the system will respond to excessive current demands or
dumps from the motor with a change in voltage. When adequate bulk capacitance is used, the motor voltage
remains stable and high current can be quickly supplied.
The data sheet generally provides a recommended value, but system-level testing is required to determine the
appropriate sized bulk capacitor.
The voltage rating for bulk capacitors should be higher than the operating voltage, to provide margin for cases
when the motor transfers energy to the supply.

8.1 Layout Guidelines
The VM pin should be bypassed to GND using a low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with a recommended value
of 0.01 µF rated for VM. This capacitor should be placed as close to the VM pin as possible with a thick trace or
ground plane connection to the device GND pin.
The VM pin must be bypassed to ground using a bulk capacitor rated for VM. This component can be an
electrolytic capacitor.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the CPL and CPH pins. A value of 0.022 µF rated for
VM is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
A low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed in between the VM and VCP pins. A value of 0.22 µF rated for 16
V is recommended. Place this component as close to the pins as possible.
Bypass the DVDD pin to ground with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor. A value of 0.47 µF rated for 6.3 V is
recommended. Place this bypassing capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
The thermal PAD must be connected to system ground.
