Figure 3.1 Standard application circuit
The standard application circuit uses a minimum set of additional components. Two sense resistors
set the motor coil current. See chapter 8 to choose the right sense resistors. Use low ESR capacitors
for filtering the power supply. The capacitors need to cope with the current ripple cause by chopper
operation. A minimum capacity of 100µF near the driver is recommended for best performan ce.
Current ripple in the supply capacitors also depends on the power supply internal resistance and
cable length. VCC_IO can be supplied from 5VOUT, or from an external source, e.g., a 3.3V regulator.
Basic layout hints
Place sense resistors and all filter capacitors as close as possible to the related IC pins. Use a solid
common GND for all GND connections, also for sense resistor GND. Connect 5VOUT filtering capa citor
directly to 5VOUT and the die pad. See layout hints for more details. Low ESR electro lytic capacitors
are recommended for VS filtering.
Attention
Ensure sufficient capacity on VS to limit supply ripple, and to keep power slopes below 1V/µs. Failure
to do so could result in destructive currents via the charge pump capacitor. Provide overvoltage
protection in case the motor could be manually turned at a high velocity, or in case the driver could
become cut off from the main supply capacitors. Significant energy can be fed back from motor coils
to the power supply in the event of quick deceleration, or when the driver becomes disabled.
