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 performance.
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 capacitor
directly to 5VOUT and the die pad. See layout hints for more details. Low ESR electrolytic capacitors
are recommended for VS filtering.
3.2 Internal RDSon Sensing
For cost critical or space limited applications, sense resistors can be omitted. For internal current
sensing, a reference current set by a tiny external resistor programs the output current. For calculation
of the reference resistor, refer chapter 9.1.
Attention
Be sure to switch the IC to RDSon mode, before enabling drivers: Set otp_internalRsense = 1.
