10 Sample Circuits

Please consider electrical characteristics while designing electrical circuitry. Most Sample Circuits in this

chapter were taken from the Evalutation board for the TMC4671 (TMC4671-EVAL).

10.1 Supply Pins

Please provide VCCIO and V5 to the TMC4671. VCC_CORE is internally generated and needs just an external

decoupling capacitor. Place one 100nF decoupling capacitor at every supply pin. Table 26 lists additional

needed decoupling capacitors.

Pin Name Supply Voltage Additional Cap.

V5 5V 4.7uF

VCCIO 3.3V 4.7uF & 470nF

VCCCORE 1.8V none

Table 26: Additional decoupling capacitors for supply voltages

10.2 Clock and Reset Circuitry

The TMC4671 needs an external oscillator for correct operation at 25 MHz. Lower frequency results in

respective scaling of timings. Higher frequency is not supported. The internally generated active low

reset can be externally overwritten. If users want to toggle the reset, a pulse length of at least 500 ns is

recommended. When not used, please apply a 10k Pull up resistor and make sure all supply voltages are

stable.

10.3 Digital Encoder, Hall Sensor Interface and Reference Switches

Digital encoders, Hall sensors and reference switches usually operate on a supply voltage of 5V. As the

TMC4671 is usually operated at a VCCIO Voltage of 3.3V, a protection circuit for the TMC4671 input pin is

needed. In ﬁg. 34 a sample circuit for the ENC_A signal is shown, which can be reused for all encoder and

Hall signals as well as for reference switch signals. Parametrization of the components is given in table 27

for diﬀerent operations.
