PBL 3776/1
sensing resistor should be a 0.5 - 1.5 W
precision resistor, i. e. less than 1%
tolerance and low temperature
coefficient.
Recirculating diodes
Care must be taken to assure that the
recirculating current from the motor
winding has a free path at all times,
when designing the external H-bridge
otherwise may the voltage reach
dangerous levels at the outputs. See
figure 6. Make sure that there are
recirculating diodes included in the
transistors, or if not design in external
diodes. Also make sure that these
diodes are sufficient for the application
i.e. regarding recovery time, voltage
drop etc.
Current sense filtering
due to the recovery of the recirculation
diodes and the capacitance of the motor
winding. To prevent this transient from
reseting the flip-flops through the
current sensing comparators, the clock
oscillator generates a blanking pulse at
turn-on. The blanking pulse disables the
comparators for a short time. Thereby
preventing any voltage transient across
the sensing resistor from reseting the
flip-flop during the time blanking.

value. The time is calculated as:

As the C

blanking time ranging from 0.5 s to 7 s
is possible. Nominal value is 4 700 pF,
which gives a blanking time of 1.0 s.
small delay, the peak value across the
sensing resistor, and hence the peak
motor current, will reach a slightly
higher level than what is defined by the
reference voltage. The filtering delay
also limits the minimum possible output
current. As the output will be on for a
short time each cycle, equal to the digital
filtering blanking time plus additional
internal delays, a small amount of
current will flow through the winding.
Typically this current is 1-10 % of the
maximum output current set by R
mance, the filtering may be done by
adding an external low pass filter in
series with the comparator C input, see
figure 5. In this case the digital blanking
time should be as short as possible. The
recommended filter component values
are 1 kohm and 1000 pF. The transient
may be reduced by adding external
recircula-ting diodes. These diodes
should be of the fast switching type. By
doing this the filter delay will be
minimized. Lowering the switching
frequency also helps reduce the
minimum output current.

prevent the switching transient from

Switching frequency
The frequency of the clock oscillator is set
by the timing components R

cy is approximately calculated as:
f
Nominal component values of 12 kohm
and 4 700 pF results in a clock
frequency of 23.0 kHz. A lower
frequency will result in higher current
ripple, but may improve low level
linearity. A higher clock frequency
reduces current ripple, but increases the
switching losses in the IC and possibly
the iron losses in the motor.
Phase inputs
A logic HIGH on a Phase input causes
the TxBL pin to sink current, low voltage,
and the TxAU pin to source current, high
voltage. A logic LOW causes the TxAL
to sink current, low voltage, and the
TxBU to source current, high voltage. A
time delay prevents cross conduction in
the H-bridge when changing the Phase
input.
See truth table fig. 7.
Dis (Disable) inputs
A logic HIGH on the Dis inputs will turn off
all four transistors of the outputs, which
results in a rapidly decreasing output
current to zero. See truth table fig 7.
V
The Vref inputs of the PBL 3776/1 have
a voltage divider with a ratio of 1 to 10 to
reduce the external reference voltage to
an adequate level. The divider consists
of closely matched resistors . Nominal
input reference voltage is 5 V.
Interference
Due to the switching operation of
PBL 3776/1, noise and transients are
generated and coupled into adjacent
circuitry. To reduce potential interference
there are a few basic rules to follow:
