Pinout Description
gram)
Pin 1, BOOTSTRAP 1 Input: Bootstrap capacitor pin for half
H-Bridge number 1. The recommended capacitor (10 nF) is
connected between pins 1 and 2.
Pin 2, OUTPUT 1: Half H-Bridge number 1 output.
Pin 3, DIRECTION Input: See Table 1. This input controls
the direction of current flow between OUTPUT 1 and OUT-
PUT 2 (pins 2 and 10) and, therefore, the direction of rotation
of a motor load.
Pin 4, BRAKE Input: See Table 1. This input is used to
brake a motor by effectively shorting its terminals. When
braking is desired, this input is taken to a logic high level and
it is also necessary to apply logic high to PWM input, pin 5.
The drivers that short the motor are determined by the logic
level at the DIRECTION input (Pin 3): with Pin 3 logic high,
both current sourcing output transistors are ON; with Pin 3
logic low, both current sinking output transistors are ON. All
output transistors can be turned OFF by applying a logic high
to Pin 4 and a logic low to PWM input Pin 5; in this case only
a small bias current (approximately −1.5 mA) exists at each
output pin.

Pin 5, PWM Input: See Table 1. How this input (and DIREC-
TION input, Pin 3) is used is determined by the format of the
PWM Signal.
Pin 6, V
Pin 7, POWER GROUND/SENSE Connection: This pin is
the ground return for the power DMOS transistors of the
H-Bridge. The current through the H-Bridge can be sensed
by adding a small, 0.1Ω, sense resistor from this pin to the
power supply ground.
Pin 8, SIGNAL GROUND: This is the ground return for the
internal logic circuitry used to control the PWM switching of
the H-Bridge.
Pin 9, THERMAL FLAG Output: This pin provides the
thermal warning flag output signal. Pin 9 becomes active-low
at 145˚C (junction temperature). However the chip will not
shut itself down until 170˚C is reached at the junction.
Pin 10, OUTPUT 2: Half H-Bridge number 2 output.
Pin 11, BOOTSTRAP 2 Input: Bootstrap capacitor pin for
half H-Bridge number 2. The recommended capacitor
(10 nF) is connected between pins 10 and 11.
Application Information
TYPES OF PWM SIGNALS
The LMD18201 readily interfaces with different forms of
PWM signals. Use of the part with two of the more popular
forms of PWM is described in the following paragraphs.
Simple, locked anti-phase PWM consists of a single, vari-
able duty-cycle signal in which is encoded both direction and
amplitude information (see Figure 2). A 50% duty-cycle
PWM signal represents zero drive, since the net value of
voltage (integrated over one period) delivered to the load is
zero. For the LMD18201, the PWM signal drives the direc-
tion input (pin 3) and the PWM input (pin 5) is tied to logic
high.
