3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 Overview
The OM5193H is a combination of a voice coil motor and
a spindle motor driver with embedded servo controller
designed for use in disk drives. Configuration and control
registers are set via a 3-wire serial port running up to
30 MHz to interface commonly to a microcontroller or a
digital signal processor.
The device operates at 5 and 12 V power supplies and
integrates safety functions such as power stages
overvoltage protection, power and temperature monitor,
over-temperature shutdown and dynamic
brake-after-park.
The device is contained in a QFP80 package with 18 pins
connected to the leadframe thus providing low thermal
resistance.
3.2 Servo controller
The servo controller includes the following circuits:
• 3-wire serial interface
• Spindle commutation logic
• A 10-bit ADC with 7 inputs selected by an internal
multiplexer
• A 10-bit VCM DAC with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 V voltage
references
• Two low-offset stand-alone op-amps
• Analog multiplexer with 2 inputs.
