Based LMD18245 bipolar stepper motor control circuit diagram

Description: An innovative current detection method eliminates the power loss associated with the sense resistor in series with the motor. A 4-digit analog converter (DAC) facilitates digital control of the motor current path, simplifying the implementation of full, half, and micro-stepping motor drivers. The LMD18245 application circuit serves as a bipolar chopper drive stepper motor power stage. A 20 kΩ resistor and a 2.2 nF capacitor are connected between the RC, setting an off-time of approximately 48 microseconds. The 20 kΩ resistor is also connected to the output and ground, establishing a threshold of about 200 milliamperes per volt gain in the chopper current sense (CS). The LMD18245 can control DC brush motors and bipolar stepper motors, allowing the design of circuits suitable for various motor control applications. The LMD18245 utilizes a fixed off-time chopper technique, with all DMOS H-bridge power stages capable of delivering up to 3 A of continuous output current (6 A peak) at supply voltages up to 55 V. The DMOS power switch features low RDS(ON) resistance, and its internal body diode eliminates the need for a discrete diode clamp in a bipolar power stage. The innovative current detection method further reduces power loss in the system, while the 4-digit DAC enhances the digital control of motor current paths, facilitating various drive types, such as full step and half step, with control signals typically provided by a digital processor controller.

The LMD18245 integrated circuit is designed to efficiently manage motor control applications by utilizing advanced techniques to minimize power loss and optimize performance. The implementation of a fixed off-time chopper strategy allows for precise control of the motor current, ensuring that the motor operates within its specified parameters. The choice of a 20 kΩ resistor in conjunction with a 2.2 nF capacitor is critical for establishing the timing characteristics of the chopper operation, directly influencing the off-time duration and, consequently, the motor's performance.

The capability of the LMD18245 to support both DC brush motors and bipolar stepper motors broadens its application range, making it suitable for various automation and robotics projects. The integration of a DMOS H-bridge power stage not only enhances the output current capacity but also improves thermal management, as the low RDS(ON) reduces power dissipation during operation.

Furthermore, the internal body diode of the DMOS structure simplifies the design by removing the need for additional discrete components, which can complicate the circuit layout and increase the overall size of the motor driver. The digital control aspect, facilitated by the 4-digit DAC, allows for seamless integration with microcontrollers or digital signal processors, enabling sophisticated control algorithms that can adapt to different operational modes such as full step, half step, and micro-stepping.
