ST公司的VNH5019A-E是全橋馬達驅動器,集成了雙路高邊驅動器和兩個低邊開關,三個芯片封裝在MulTIPowerSO-30封裝中,引線框是電絕緣的.汽車級產品,輸出電流3A,3V CMOS兼容輸入,PWM頻率高達20kHz,用于各種汽車應用.本文介紹了VNH5019A主要特性,框圖和 種應用電路,以及馬達驅動評估板STEVAL-VNH5019A主要特性,電路圖和材料清單.

The VHN5019A-E is a full bridge motor driver intended for a wide range of automoTIve applicaTIons. The device incorporates a dual monolithic high-side drivers and two low-side switches. The high-side driver switch is designed using STMicroelectronics’ well known and proven proprietary VIPower® M0 technology that allows to efficiently integrate on the same die a true Power MOSFET with an intelligent signal/protecTIon circuit.

The three dice are assembled in MultiPowerSO-30 package on electrically isolated lead-frames. This package, specifically designed for the harsh automotive environment offers improved thermal performance thanks to exposed die pads. The input signals INA and INB can directly interface to the microcontroller to select the motor direction and the brake condition.

The DIAGA/ENA or DIAGB/ENB, when connected to an external pull-up resistor, enable one leg of the bridge. They also provide a feedback digital diagnostic signal. The CS pin allows to monitor the motor current by delivering a current proportional to its value when CS_DIS pin is driven low or left open. The PWM, up to 20 KHz, lets us to control the speed of the motor in all possible conditions. In all cases, a low-level state on the PWM pin turns-off both the LSA and LSB switches. When PWM rises to a high-level, LSA or LSB turn-on again depending on the input pin state.Output current limitation and thermal shutdown protects the concerned high-side in short to ground condition.

The short to battery condition is revealed by the overload detector or by thermal shutdown that latches off the relevant low-side. Active VCC pin voltage clamp protects the device against low energy spikes in all configurations for the motor.

CP pin provides the necessary gate drive for an external n-channel PowerMOS used for reverse polarity protection.

STEVAL-VNH5019A offers dedicated power stage and controls suitable for electric DC motor driving. This evaluation board comes pre-assembled with VNH5019A H-bridge belonging to the VNH Motor Driver series based on VIPower®proprietary technology. Typical applications are Windows Lift, Sliding Door, Seat regulation.

This Evaluation Board consists of a motherboard (STM8 Universal Board) and a daughterboard.

The motherboard, based on STM8 microcontroller, provides the logic section for monitoring and driving the VNH5019A assembled in the daughterboard.

With the aim to make simpler the board usage and settings, ST provides a dedicated and user-friendly software with a Graphic User Interface (GUI). This enables the user to set VNH5019A parameters (PWM, Motor direction…) and at the same time it shows real time device diagnostic information like current output evolution, battery voltage monitoring, board temperature and much more.
