7.4 Independent Half-bridge Operation

  • The DRV8952 can drive four half-bridge loads simultaneously.
  • For the DDW package, the MODE pin configures the typical output rise and fall times to 70 ns or 140 ns.
  • Rise and fall times are 140 ns for the PWP package.
  • The ENx pins enable or disable (Hi-Z) the outputs.
  • The INx pins control the state (high or low) of the outputs
    • The INx pins can accept static or pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals.
    • The INx and ENx inputs can be powered before VM is applied.
  • The truth table does not take into account the internal current regulation feature.
  • The device automatically handles the dead time generation when switching between the high-side and low-side MOSFET of a half-bridge.

The inputs can also be used for PWM control of, for example, the speed of a DC motor. When controlling a winding with PWM, when the drive current is interrupted, the inductive nature of the motor requires that the current must continue to flow. This is called recirculation current. To handle this recirculation current, the H-bridge can operate in two different states, fast decay or slow decay. In fast decay mode, the H-bridge is disabled and recirculation current flows through the body diodes; in slow decay, the motor winding is shorted.

To PWM using fast decay, the PWM signal is applied to the ENx pin; to use slow decay, the PWM signal is applied to the INx pin. The following table is an example of driving a DC motor using OUT1 and OUT2 as an H-bridge:
