MP6551
14V, 5A, H-Bridge
Motor Driver
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP6551 is an H-bridge motor driver. Its
2.5V to 14V input voltage (VIN) range allows the
device to operate from a variety of battery
power sources, including single-cell lithium-ion
batteries, dual-cell lithium-ion batteries, and 3cell to 6-cell alkaline batteries. Its low on
resistance enables it to achieve up to 5A of
output current (IOUT) across its entire VIN range.
The MP6551 can drive a brushed DC motor in
bidirectional applications or two DC motors in
unidirectional, speed-controlled applications.
Full protection features include over-current
protection (OCP), under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) protection, and thermal shutdown.
The MP6551 is available
(2.5mmx3mm) package.

Notes:
2) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
3) 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 can cause excessive die temperature, and the
device may go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
4) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
5) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

MP6551 – 14V, 5A, H-BRIDGE MOTOR DRIVER
OPERATION
The MP6551 is an H-bridge motor driver that
integrates four N-channel power MOSFETs. It
can achieve 5A of peak output current (IOUT)
across a 2.5V to 14V input voltage (VIN) range,
and is designed to drive brushed DC motors,
solenoids, and other loads.
Input Logic
Each of the MP6551’s half H-bridges is
controlled independently via the IN1, IN2, EN1,
and EN2 input pins. Table 1 shows the control
logic for each input pin.

Sleep Mode
Pull the EN1 and EN2 pins low to enable sleep
mode. In sleep mode, all internal circuitry
(including the gate driver charge pump) is
disabled, and the outputs are turned off. If
either EN1 or EN2 is enabled again, then the
device resumes normal operation. There is a
short delay time (tWAKE) before the output(s) are
enabled again.
Current Measurement Outputs
The internal current-sensing circuitry senses
the current flowing into each output. The CM1
and CM2 pins source or sink a current
proportional to the current flowing into each of
the half H-bridges’ low-side MOSFETs (LSFETs). The current flowing through the LS-FET
is sensed in both the forward and reverse
directions.
To convert this current into a voltage (e.g. to
input to an analog-to-digital converter [ADC]), a
termination resistor (RREF) is required to create
a reference voltage (VREF). If no current is
flowing, then the resultant output is equal to
VREF. If the current is flowing, then the voltage is
above or below VREF. (VOUT_SENSE) can be
calculated with Equation (1):
VOUT_SENSE = VREF + (RREF x ILOAD) / 10,000 (1)
To terminate the outputs while using an ADC
with inputs that are ratiometric to its supply
voltage, connect two equal-value resistors to
the ADC supply and GND. The resulting ADC
code is half-scale at zero current.
Figure 2 shows the current measurement circuit.
OUTx
Slew Rate (SR) Control
The MP6551 has a slew rate (SR) control pin.
Use a resistor to connect the SR pin to GND to
adjust the slew rate (output rise/fall time). This
feature can reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI) caused by output transitions.
The rise/fall time is proportional to the
resistance used. Short SR to GND to generate
a fast rise/fall time (about 100ns). A 3MΩ
resistor generates a rise/fall time of about 3µs.
Fault Indication
The MP6551’s fault indication (nFAULT) pin is
an open-drain output that requires an external
pull-up resistor. The nFAULT pin indicates if a
fault has occurred. If an over-current (OC) or
over-temperature (OT) fault occurs, nFAULT is
pulled low. Once the fault condition is removed,
nFAULT is pulled high via the pull-up resistor.

Figure 2: Current Measurement Circuit
If only the total current needs to be measured
(e.g. the current of a full H-bridge driver), then
the CM1 and CM2 pins can be connected to
measure the sum of the two half H-bridge
currents.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
Over-current protection (OCP) protects the
device from damage due to excessive current
at the outputs. If the current through a MOSFET
exceeds the current limit threshold, then the
foldback current limit function limits IOUT to a
safe level and nFAULT goes low.

MP6551 – 14V, 5A, H-BRIDGE MOTOR DRIVER
Over-current (OC) conditions are sensed on
both the high-side MOSFET (HS-FET) and LSFET, protecting the device from damage during
a short to GND, short to supply, or a short
across the motor winding.
Thermal Shutdown
If the die temperature exceeds about 150°C, all
MOSFETs are disabled and nFAULT goes low.
Once the die temperature drops below about
135°C, the MP6551 resumes normal operation.
Note that a sustained short circuit or OC fault
can result in excessive die temperature, which
may cause the device to go into thermal
shutdown.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) Protection
If the VIN drops below the under-voltage lockout
(UVLO) threshold, all circuitry is disabled and
the device’s internal logic is reset. Once VIN
rises above the UVLO threshold again, the
MP6551 resumes normal operation.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
External Component Selection
Bypass the VIN pin to GND using a 100nF
ceramic X7R capacitor located as close to the
IC as possible. Place an additional 1µF to 10µF
ceramic capacitor nearby the 100nF capacitor.
Depending on the supply impedance and
distance to other large capacitors, an
electrolytic bulk capacitor may also be required
to stabilize VIN. The CM1 and CM2 pins are
current measurement outputs. CM1 and CM2
are typically converted to a voltage via a
termination resistor (RREF) that creates a
reference voltage (VREF). A resistor divider
connected between the ADC supply and GND
can provide a ratiometric voltage for an AC/DC
converter.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Efficient PCB layout is critical for stable
operation. For the best results, refer to Figure 3
and follow the guidelines below:
1. Bypass VIN to GND using a 100nF ceramic
X7R capacitor located as close to the IC as
possible.
2. Place an additional 1µF to 10µF ceramic
capacitor nearby the 100nF capacitor. An
electrolytic bulk capacitor may be required
to stabilize VIN.
3. The VIN, OUT1, and OUT2 pins dissipate
heat from the motor driver. To reduce heat
on the device, add as many copper planes
to these pins as possible.
4. Solid planes on the inner layers of the
device can also dissipate heat. Place
multiple thermal vias on the VIN, OUTx, and
GND copper planes to dissipate heat from
the outer layers to the copper plane(s).
