A4935
The A4935 can also be used to perform regenerative braking.
This is equivalent to reversing the motor commutation sequence
or using fast decay with synchronous rectification. Note that
phase commutation must continue for regenerative braking to
operate and the supply must be capable of managing the reverse
current, such as by connecting a resistive load or dumping the
current to a battery or capacitor.
Current Sense Amplifier
The gain of the current sense amplifier is set using external input
and feedback resistors. Output offset can also be added using
external resistors. Care must be taken to ensure that the input
impedances seen from either end of the sense resistor match.
For the basic configuration shown in figure 4A, the two input
resistors, RN and RP, have matched values. The feedback resistor,
RF, between CSN and CSOUT, and the ground reference resis-

tor, RG, between CSP and AGND also have matched values. The
gain of the sense amplfier, G, is determined by the relative values
of RF and RN, and is approximately:
If an output offset is required, for example to allow reverse cur-
rent measurement, then this can be generated by adding offset to
the CSP input through the RG resistor. Because the amplifier is
operating in a closed loop, any offset added to CSP will be mir-
rored at the output.
Figure 4B shows suitable resistor values for a gain, G, of 20 and
an output offset, V
Layout Recommendations
Careful consideration must be given to PCB layout when design-
ing high frequency, fast switching, high current circuits. The
following are recommendations regarding some of these consid-
erations:
• The A4935 analog ground, AGND, and power ground, PGND,
• The exposed thermal pad and all NC pins of the package should
• Minimize stray inductance by using short, wide copper traces at
• Consider the use of small (100 nF) ceramic decoupling
• Keep the gate discharge return connections Sx and LSS as short
should be connected together at the package pins. This common
point, and the high-current return of the external FETs, should
return separately to the negative side of the motor supply
filtering capacitor. This will minimize the effect of switching
noise on the device logic and analog reference.
be connected to the common point of AGND and PGND.
the drain and source terminals of all power FETs. This includes
motor lead connections, the input power bus, and the common
source of the low-side power FETs. This will minimize voltages
induced by fast switching of large load currents.
capacitors across the sources and drains of the power FETs to
limit fast transient voltage spikes caused by the inductance of
the circuit trace.
as possible. Any inductance on these traces will cause negative
transitions on the corresponding A4935 pins, which may exceed
the absolute maximum ratings. If this is likely, consider the use
of clamping diodes to limit the negative excursion on these pins
with respect to AGND.
