5.0 A H-Bridge
The 34931 is a monolithic H-Bridge Power IC in a robust thermally enhanced
package. It is designed for any low voltage DC servo motor control application
within the current and voltage limits stated in this specification. This device is
powered by SMARTMOS technology.
The 34931 H-Bridge is able to control inductive loads with currents up to 5.0 A
peak. RMS current capability is subject to the degree of heatsinking provided to
the device package. Internal peak current limiting (regulation) is activated at load
currents above 6.5 A ±1.5 A. Output loads can be pulse-width modulated
(PWMed at frequencies up to 20 kHz. A load current feedback feature provides
a proportional (0.24% of the load current) current output suitable for monitoring
by a microcontroller’s A/D input. A status flag output reports undervoltage,
overcurrent, and overtemperature fault conditions.
Two independent inputs provide polarity control of two half-bridge totem-pole
outputs. The disable inputs are provided to force the H-Bridge outputs to tri-state
(high-impedance off-state).

Definition
When D1 is logic HIGH, both OUT1 and OUT2 are tri-stated. Schmitt trigger input
with ~ 80
μA
source so default condition = disabled.
The load current feedback output provides ground referenced 0.24% of the high-side
output current. (Tie to GND through a resistor if not used.)
When EN/D2 is logic HIGH the H-Bridge is operational. When EN/D2 is logic LOW,
the H-Bridge outputs are tri-stated and placed in Sleep mode. (logic input with
~ 80
μA
sink so default condition = Sleep mode.)
These pins must be connected together physically as close as possible and directly
soldered down to a wide, thick, low resistance supply plane on the PCB.
Source of HS1 and drain of LS1
High-current power ground pins must be connected together physically as close as
possible and directly soldered down to a wide, thick, low resistance ground plane on
the PCB.
Source of HS2 and drain of LS2
External reservoir capacitor connection for the internal charge pump; connected to
VPWR. Allowable values are 30 nF to 100 nF.
Note:
This capacitor is required for
the proper performance of the device.
Logic input control of OUT2;e.g., when IN2 is logic HIGH, OUT2 is set to VPWR, and
when IN2 is logic LOW, OUT2 is set to PGND. (Schmitt trigger Input with ~ 80
μA
source so default condition = OUT2 HIGH.)
