The IC includes Hall-effect sensor, chopping amplifier for offset cancellation, digital control circuitry and full bridge output driver. The US168 has an open-drain tachometer FG output that follows the Hall signal. In the US169, the open-drain alarm output RD is active low during normal spinning of the motor. It goes high when the magnetic flux switching frequency drops below nearly 1Hz (30RPM for 2 pole-pair fan). Reverse voltage protection is integrated on the VDD pin. The FG/RD open drain output has an internal current limit. It can be activated if a low-ohmic pull-up resistor is used or if the FG/RD output is short connected to a supply voltage. The built-in locked rotor protection automatically shuts off the coil current when the rotor is mechanically blocked for more than 0.4 second. The fan tries to restart every 2.8 seconds until the rotor is released. This on/off cycling reduces the average current by factor of 7. It is enough to prevent fans from overheating or damage. In case the junction temperature TJ exceeds TSD, the thermal protection stops the current flowing through the full bridge by setting the outputs OUT1 and OUT2 low and setting the output FG (RD) high. The IC stays in this state until the junction temperature decreases below TREL. 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 5 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 10 Unique Features The US168/169 provides an efficient solution for low noise applications. The Soft Switching concept reduces the acoustic and electrical motor noise with a smooth transition of the coil current when VDD is greater than VDDsw,. Soft Switching coil current compared to hard switching The smooth current switching is realized by a precise control of the H-Bridge output voltages, as shown on the figures below: (A) VOUT1 > VOUT2 - the coil current flows from OUT1 to OUT2. (B) VOUT1 decreases while VOUT2 increases, thus reducing smoothly the coil current. At a certain moment, the coil current equals zero. VOUT1 further decreases while VOUT2 increases, so the coil current starts flowing in the opposite direction. (C) VOUT1 < VOUT2 – the coil current flows from OUT2 to OUT1. Soft Switching Output Voltages (A) (B) (C) This technique used in a Full Bridge allows producing efficient motor with very low audible noise. Moreover, Soft Switching approach versus traditional hard switching helps reducing the Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) generated by the coil. 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 6 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 11 Typical Performance Graphs 11.1 RON vs. TA 5 VDD = 3V VDD = 5V 4 5 Ron (ohms) Ron (ohms) 3 6 Ta = -40° C Ta = 25° C Ta = 85° C Ta = 125°C 11.2 RON vs. VDD 7 4 2 3 2 1 1 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 Ta (°C) 60 80 100 120 0 0 1 2 3 VDD (Volts) 4 5 6 7 11.3 Magnetic Parameters vs. TA 5 4 3 2 Magnetic field (mT) 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -40 -20 0 20 40 Ta (° C) 60 80 100 120 Bop, VDD=3V Brp, VDD=3V Bop, VDD=5V Brp, VDD=5V 11.4 Magnetic Parameters vs. VDD 5 4 3 2 Magnetic field (mT) 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 0 1 2 3 VDD (Volts) 4 5 6 7 Bop, Ta=25°C Brp, Ta=25° C Bop, Ta=85° C Brp, Ta=85°C 11.5 Slope duration vs. TA 300 250 11.6 Slope duration vs. VDD 700 600 500 Output Slope (us) Output Slope (us) 200 Ta = 25° C 400 Ta = 85° C 150 300 100 VDD = 3V 50 VDD = 5V 200 100 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 Ta (°C) 60 80 100 120 0 0 1 2 3 VDD (Volts) 4 5 6 7 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 7 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 11.7 IDD vs. VDD 1.5 11.8 VOL vs. TA 0.5 FG/RD Output Saturation Voltage (Volts) 0.4 1 IDD (mA) 0.3 VDD=3V ; Iol=4mA VDD=5V ; Iol=4mA Ta = -40°C 0.5 Ta = 25°C Ta = 85°C Ta = 125° C 0.2 0.1 0 0 1 2 3 VDD (Volts) 4 5 6 7 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 Ta (°C) 60 80 100 120 11.9 Power dissipation graph 0.6 Mutli Layer PCB Pmax = 512mW 11.10 Recommended maximum continuous output current vs. VDD 400 350 Single Layer PCB, Ta=25° C TA = 25° C 0.5 Allowable Power Dissipation (W) 0.4 Single Layer PCB Pmax = 332mW RTH 1S2P = 195° C/W Continuous Output Current (mA) 3V, 300mA 300 250 200 150 100 1.8V, 80mA 50 0.3 TA max = 85° C 0.2 RTH 1S = 301°C/W 0.1 TJ max = 125°C 0 -40 -20 0 20 40 60 Ta (°C) 80 100 120 140 0 0 1 2 3 VDD (Volts) 4 5 6 7 The thermal resistance and rated power dissipation are defined in accordance with EIA/JESD51-3 standard for single layer 1S test board and EIAJESD51-7 standard for multi layer 1S2P test board. 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 8 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 12 Test Circuits General test principles illustrated in the figures below DUT = Device Under Test 12.1 Supply Current 12.2 Full Bridge ON Resistance 12.3 Output Switching Slope Duration 12.4 Soft Switching Threshold Voltage 12.5 FG/RD Output Low Voltage 12.6 FG/RD Output Current Limit 12.7 FG/RD Output Leakage Current A ILEAK FG/RD OUT1 VDD VDD 12.8 Thermal Protection DUT OUT2 GND Note 1 - ILEAK is measured when the FG/RD driver is OFF 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 9 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 13 Application Information VDD - supply voltage (3V / 5V) 3 2 100nF Optional 1 VDD GND OUT1 VPU - pull-up voltage (5V) 10k 4 US168(US169) FG(RD) OUT2 5 Fan/Motor Coil FG(RD) Output Typical 3V / 5V fan application 14 Application Comments The device is designed to work without external components. Application using FG/RD output signal requires a pull-up resistor. The pull-up voltage can be either connected to the supply voltage VDD or to a separate supply voltage VPU. A 100nF decoupling capacitor may be added between VDD and ground to increase stability or protect against external noise and power surge. The Soft Switching provides the best results when the fan PCB is optimized as well. The location of the Hall sensor with respect to the fan stator slots is important to make an efficient motor with high torque, low power consumption and low noise. Therefore, it is recommended to adapt the fan PCB when using soft switching instead of replacing existing hard switching solution without any PCB redesign. Hall sensor magnetic field TINPUT The different IC delays are illustrated on the left figure. In order to determine the optimum Hall sensor position for a given rotation speed, it is recommended to use the parameters TCROSS (output voltages cross point delay) and the delays related to the motor itself. Cross point Bop TSENSE “Control Logic” block output Output Voltages VOUT1 TCROSS is the sum of the sensing propagation delay TSENSE and 54% of the output slope duration TSLOPE. VOUT2 54% TSLOPE TCROSS = TSENSE + 54% TSLOPE The delays from the motor are TINPUT (delay from zero to magnetic threshold depending on rotor maximum magnetic field) and the motor coil time constant. 390109027901 Rev 001 Page 10 of 13 Data Sheet July/06 US168 / US169 Low Noise & Low voltage Single-Coil Fan/Motor Driver 15 Standard information regarding manufacturability of Melexis products with different soldering processes Our products are classified and qualified regarding soldering technology, solderability and moisture sensitivity level according to following test methods: Reflow Soldering SMD’s (Surface Mount Devices) • IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices (classification reflow profiles according to table 5-2) EIA/JEDEC JESD22-A113 Preconditioning of Nonhermetic Surface Mount Devices Prior to Reliability Testing (reflow profiles according to table 2) • Wave Soldering SMD’s (Surface Mount Devices) and THD’s (Through Hole Devices) • • EN60749-20 Resistance of plastic- encapsulated SMD’s to combined effect of moisture and soldering heat EIA/JEDEC JESD22-B106 and EN60749-15 Resistance to soldering temperature for through-hole mounted devices Iron Soldering THD’s (Through Hole Devices) • EN60749-15 Resistance to soldering temperature for through-hole mounted devices Solderability SMD’s (Surface Mount Devices) and THD’s (Through Hole Devices) • EIA/JEDEC JESD22-B102 and EN60749-21 Solderability For all soldering technologies deviating from above mentioned standard conditions (regarding peak temperature, temperature gradient, temperature profile etc) additional classification and qualification tests have to be agreed upon with Melexis.
