SLA7024M, SLA7026M, SMA7029M


The SLA7024M, SLA7026M, and SMA7029M are designed for high-efficiency and high-performance operation of 2-phase, unipolar stepper motors. An automated, innovative packaging technology combined with power FETs and monolithic logic/control circuitry advances power multi-chip modules (PMCMs) toward the complete integration of motion control. Highly automated manufacturing techniques provide low-cost and exceptionally reliable PMCMs suitable for controlling and directly driving a broad range of 2-phase, unipolar stepper motors. The three stepper motor multi-chip modules differ primarily in output current ratings (1.5 A or 3.0 A) and package style. All three PMCMs are rated for an absolute maximum limit of 46 V and utilize advanced NMOS FETs for the high-current, high-voltage driver outputs. The avalanche-rated (100 V) FETs provide excellent ON resistance, improved body diodes, and very-fast switching. The multi-chip ratings and performance afford significant benefits and advantages for stepper drives when compared to the higher dissipation and slower switching speeds associated with bipolar transistors. Normally, heat sinks are not required for the SLA7024M or SMA7029M. The SLA7026M, in demanding, higher-current systems designs, necessitates suitable heat transfer methods for reliable operation. Complete applications information is given on the following pages. PWM current is regulated by appropriately choosing current-sensing resistors, a voltage reference, a voltage divider, and RC timing networks. The RC components limit the OFF interval and control current decay. Inputs are compatible with 5 V logic and microprocessors.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
REGULATING THE PWM OUTPUT CURRENT The output current (and motor coil current) waveform is illustrated in Figure 1. Setting the PWM current trip point requires various external components: Vb = Reference supply (typically 5 V) R1, R2 = Voltage-divider resistors in the reference supply circuit RS = Current sensing resistor(s) NOTE: The maximum allowable VREF input voltage is 2.0 V. The voltage-divider must be selected accordingly. Normal PWM (Full-Current/Running) Mode IOUT is set to meet the specified running current for the motor (Figure 2) and is determined by: IOUT VREF RS R2 R1 + R2 Vb RS

Consult motor manufacturer for recommended safe holding current and motor winding temperature limits in standstill or detent mode. The MOSFET outputs create ringing noise with PWM, but the RC filter precludes malfunctions. The comparator operation is affected by R5 and C3 and, thus, current overshoot is influenced by component values. Empirical adjustment to fine-tune the current limit is likely.

POWER DISSIPATION CALCULATIONS Excepting high-current applications utilizing the SLA7026M above approximately 2.0 A at +65C (with 2-phase operation), the need for heat sinks is rare. The basic constituents of conduction losses (internal power dissipation) include: (a) FET output power dissipation (IOUT2 rDS(on) or IOUT VDS(ON)), (b) FET body diode power dissipation (VSD IOUT), and (c) control circuit power dissipation (VCC ICC ). Device conduction losses are calculated based on the operating mode (wave drive, half-step, or 2-phase). Assuming a 50% output duty cycle: Wave Drive = 0.5 (IOUT2 rDS(on)) + 0.5 (VSD IOUT) + (VCC 15 mA) Half-Step = 0.75 (IOUT2 rDS(on)) + 0.75 (VSD IOUT) + (VCC 15 mA) 2-Phase = (IOUT 2 rDS(on)) + (VSD IOUT ) + (VCC 15 mA)

PACKAGE RATINGS/DERATING FACTORS Thermal ratings/deratings for the multi-chip module packages vary slightly. Normally, the SLA7024M and SMA7029M do not need heat sinking when operated within maximum specified output current (1.0 A with 2-phase drive) unless the design ambient temperature also exceeds +60C. Thermal calculations must also consider the temperature effects on the output FET ON resistance. The applicable thermal ratings for the PMCM packages are: SLA7024M and SLA7026M 18-Lead Power-Tab SIP RJA = 28C/W (no heat sink) or 4.5 W at +25C and a derating factor of -36 mW/C for operation above +25C. RJC = 5C/W. SMA7029M 15-Lead SIP RJA = 31C/W (no heat sink) or 4.0 W at +25C and a derating factor of -32 mW/C for operation above +25C. RJC = 6C/W.

TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON FET rDS(on) Analyzing safe, reliable operation includes a concern for the relationship of NMOS ON resistance to junction temperature. Device package power calculations must include the increase in ON resistance (producing higher output ON voltages) caused by higher operating junction temperatures. Figure 8 provides a normalized ON resistance curve, and all thermal calculations should consider increases from the given +25C limits, which may be caused by internal heating during normal operation.
