Circuit description

5.1

Power stages and charge pump

The L6235 device integrates a 3-phase bridge, which consists of 6 Power MOSFETs

connected as shown in Figure 1: Block diagram on page 3. Each power MOS has an

RDS(ON) = 0.3 (typical value at 25 °C) with intrinsic fast freewheeling diode. Switching

patterns are generated by the PWM current controller and the hall effect sensor decoding

logic (see Section 6: PWM current control on page 13 and Section 8: Decoding logic on

page 18). Cross conduction protection is implemented by using a deadtime (tDT = 1 µs

typical value) set by internal timing circuit between the turn off and turn on of two Power

MOSFETs in one leg of a bridge.

Pins VSA and VSB MUST be connected together to the supply voltage (VS).

Using N-channel power MOS for the upper transistors in the bridge requires a gate drive

voltage above the power supply voltage. The bootstrapped supply (VBOOT) is obtained

through an internal oscillator and few external components to realize a charge pump circuit

as shown in Figure 5. The oscillator output (pin VCP) is a square wave at 600 KHz

(typically) with 10 V amplitude. Recommended values/part numbers for the charge pump

circuit are shown in Table 6.
