MP6550
1.8V to 22V, 2A, H-Bridge Motor Driver
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP6550 is an H-bridge motor driver. The
H-bridge consists of four N-channel power
MOSFETs and an internal charge pump to
generate gate-drive voltages. The MP6550 is
typically used to drive a DC brush motor.
The MP6550 operates on a motor power supply
voltage from 1.8V to 22V, which can supply an
output current of up to 2A according to the logic
control.
The MP6550 has a PWM input interface, which
is compatible with industry-standard devices.
Very low standby circuit current can be
achieved when the device is disabled.
An internal current-sensing circuit provides an
output with a voltage proportional to the load
current. Cycle-by-cycle current regulation and
limiting is also provided. These features do not
require the use of a low-value shunt resistor.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature TJ (MAX), the junction-toambient thermal resistance θJA, and the ambient temperature
TA. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by PD (MAX) = (TJ
(MAX) - TA) / θJA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Continuous current depends on PCB layout and ambient
temperature.
5) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

OPERATION
Bridge Control
The MP6550 is controlled using a PWM input
interface, which is compatible with industrystandard devices. Each output is controlled by a
corresponding input pin.
Current Limit / Regulation
The current in the outputs is limited using
constant-off-time PWM (pulse-width modulation)
control circuitry. Figure 3 shows this operation.
The following table shows the logic for the
MP6550:

Current Sensing
The current flowing in the two low-side
MOSFETs is sensed with an internal currentsensing circuit. A voltage proportional to the
output current is sourced on the VISEN pin.
The VISEN output voltage scaling is set by a
resistor connected between the ISET pin and
ground. For 1A of output current, 100µA of
current is sourced into the resistor connected to
VISEN. For example, if a 5kΩ resistor is
connected between ISET and ground, the
output voltage on the VISEN pin will be 0.5V/A
of output current.
Current is sensed any time one of the low-side
MOSFETs is turned on, including during slow
decay (brake) mode.
Figure 3: Current Limit Operation
Initially, a diagonal pair of MOSFETs turns on
and drives current through the load. The current
increases in the load, which is sensed by the
internal current-sense circuit.
If the load current reaches the current trip
threshold, the H-bridge switches to slow decay
mode, and the two low-side MOSFETs turn on.
After a fixed off time (tITRIP), if the load current
has fallen at least 20% below the current limit
threshold, the FETs are re-enabled and the
cycle repeats. If the current remains above this
level, the off time is extended until the current
falls to 20% below the current limit threshold.
The current limit threshold is reached when the
VISEN pin reaches 0.5V. For example, with a
5kΩ resistor from ISET to ground, the VISEN
voltage is about 0.5V/A of output current. So
when the current reaches 1A, the VISET pin
voltage reaches 0.5V, and a current trip occurs.
During current regulation, the nFAULT pin is not
activated.
Blanking Time
There is often a current spike during start-up
due to the body diode’s reverse-recovery
current or the shunt capacitance of the load.
This current spike requires filtering to prevent it
from erroneously shutting down the high-side
MOSFET. An internal fixed blanking time (tOCPD)
blanks the output of the current sense
comparator when the outputs are switched.
This blanking time also sets the minimum on
time for high-side MOSFET.
The load current applied to the VISEN pin
should be kept below 2mA, with no more than
500pF of capacitance.

MP6550 – 1.8V TO 22V, 2A, H-BRIDGE MOTOR DRIVER
nSLEEP Operation
The MP6550 has one H-bridge driver and a
3.3V reference output, which can be separately
put into a low-power sleep state. Driving
nSLEEP_HB low turns the H-bridge outputs off
and disables all related internal circuits,
including the gate drive charge pump. All inputs
are ignored when nSLEEP_HB is active low.
Driving nSLEEP_LDO low disables the 3.3V
regulator. When waking up from sleep mode,
some time needs to pass before the outputs will
operate.
Protection Circuits
The MP6550 is fully protected against undervoltage, over-current, and over-temperature
events.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The MP6550 has internal overload and shortcircuit protection. The currents in both the high-
MP6550 Rev. 1.0
7/16/2019
side and low-side MOSFETs are measured and
if the current exceeds the current limit, all
MOSFETs in the H-bridge are turned off. After
approximately 1ms, the bridge is automatically
re-enabled.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
Thermal monitoring is also integrated into the
MP6550. If the die temperature exceeds 160°C,
all switches turn off. Once the die temperature
has fallen to a safe level, operation resumes
automatically.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
If at any time the voltage on the VIN pin falls
below the under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
threshold voltage, all circuitry in the device is
disabled and the internal logic is reset. Normal
operation resumes when VIN exceeds the
UVLO threshold.
