CURRENT LIMIT

in the event of a short of either output to +Vs. This circuit can
trip anytime during the conduction period and will hold the
output transistors off for the remainder of that conduction period.
be connected as shown in the external connection diagram.
It is recommended that the resistor be a non-inductive type.
Load current flows in pin 8. No current flows in pin 10 (Shut-
down/filter) so no error will be introduced by the length of
the connection to pin 10. However, the voltage at pin 10 is
compared to GND (pin 4) and an error could be introduced if

between pins 8 and 4.

PROTECTION CIRCUITS
sistors off. The first of these conditions is activation of the high
side current limit. Specifically, current in pin 7 (+V
tored. The DC trip level is about 35A and response time about
5us. As actual currents increase the response time decreases.
The external fault generally associated with this condition is
shorting one of the outputs to ground. However, a load fault
can also activate this high side current limit if the current rise
time is less than the response time of the filter discussed under
“Current Limit” . The second of these conditions is activation of
any of the four output transistor over-temperature sensors at
about 165°C. Ambient temperature, air flow, amplifier mounting
problems and all the previously mentioned high current faults
contribute to junction temperature. When either of these pro-
tection circuits are activated, the root fault must be corrected
and power cycled to restore normal operation.
DEAD TIME
put. The dead time removes the possibility of a momentary
conduction path through the upper and lower transistors of
each half bridge output during the switching interval. During
the dead time all output transistors are off. Noise or flyback
may be observed at the outputs during this time due to the
high impedance of the outputs in the off state. This will vary
with the nature of the load.
ERROR AMPLIFIER

propriate poles and zeroes to properly compensate the velocity

ated internally. The non-inverting input of the op amp does not
have a common mode range which includes ground. R2 and
R7 are used with the reference voltage provided at pin 5 to
bias the non-inverting input to +5 volts, which is approximately
half of the voltage supplied internally to the op amp. Similarly,
R1 and the parallel combination of R5 R6 are selected to bias
the inverting input also at +5 volts. Resistors R1 R2 must be
matched. Likewise the parallel combination of R5 R6 must
be matched with R7. The source impedances of the tach
and the signal source may affect the matching and should be
considered in the design.
There are two conditions which will latch all the output tran-
