LMD18200 -motion control applications

General Description
The LMD18200 is a 3A H-Bridge designed for motion control applications. The device is built using a multi-technology process which combines bipolar and CMOS control circuitry with DMOS power devices on the same monolithic structure. Ideal for driving DC and stepper motors; the LMD18200 accommodates peak output currents up to 6A. An innovative circuit which facilitates low-loss sensing of the output current has been implemented.

LMD18200是美国国家半导体公司推出的专用于直流电动机驱动的H桥组件，同一芯片上集成有CMOS控制电路和DMOS功率器件。此种芯片瞬间驱动电流可达6A，正常工作电流可达3A，具有很强的驱动能力，无“shot-through”电流，而且此种芯片内部还具有过流保护的测量电路，只需要在 LMD18200的8脚输出端测出电压和给定的电压比较即可保护电路过流，从而实现电路的过流保护功能。由LMD18200组成的电机驱动电路如图5所示。LMD18200的5脚为PWM 波输入端，通过改变PWM的占空比就可调节电机的速度，改变3脚的高低电平即可控制电机的正反转。此电路和以上几种驱动电路比较具有明显的优点，驱动功率大，稳定性好，实现方便，安全可靠。
