Power stages and charge pump
The L6228Q integrates two independent Power MOS Full Bridges. Each Power MOS has an
RDS(ON) = 0.73 Ω (typical value @ 25 °C), with intrinsic fast freewheeling diode. Switching
patterns are generated by the PWM Current Controller and the Phase Sequence Generator
(see below). Cross conduction protection is achieved using a dead time (tDT = 1 µs typical
value) between the switch off and switch on of two Power MOSFETs in one leg of a bridge.
Pins VSA and VSB must be connected together to the supply voltage VS. The device
operates with a supply voltage in the range from 8 V to 52 V. It has to be noticed that the
RDS(ON) increases of some percents when the supply voltage is in the range from 8 V to 12 V.
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 voltage VBOOT is obtained
through an internal Oscillator and few external components to realize a charge pump circuit
as shown in Figure 8. The oscillator output (VCP) is a square wave at 600 kHz (typical) with
10V amplitude. Recommended values/part numbers for the charge pump circuit are shown
in Table 6.
