All the necessary connections to the board can be done through this connector alone. Terminal blocks are provided to facilitate the use of larger gauge wire and direct connection to the power supply and motor. For permanent installations, wires may be soldered directly into the eight holes above the SIP header. Four mounting holes are provided at the corners of the board Operation: The three inputs, IN1, IN2 and EN are used to control the operation of the H-bridge. IN1 and IN2 effectively control the direction of the motor. If both IN1 and IN2 are at the same logic level, the controller is in Braking mode. EN1 is typically switched on and off in a PWM fashion to control the average driving power to the motor in either direction. When in braking mode, it controls the average braking power of the motor. When the EN pin is held low (disabled), the motor coasts freely. Please see the truth table for more detail. 4 CV-HB 201 H-Bridge The "DIS" LED (Red LED) lights up when the controller is in disabled mode, such as when the EN pin is held low, or when any of the protection circuitry is active, such as over current, or under voltage. When using PWM on the EN pin, the LED will glow inversely proportional to the pulse width. At 100% pulse width, the LED is extinguished. At 0% pulse width, the LED is fully lit. Protection Modes: Over-current: When the instantaneous current is beyond the device limits, the output driver will be pulsed to effectively limit the current. This situation can arise when a motor with a very large startup current is first turned on at full power. As the motor spins up to speed, the current demand will decrease, and the current limiting action will cease. When current limiting is active, the DIS LED will be lit, its brightness proportional to the degree of current limiting applied. Under-voltage: Driving the H-Bridge using N-channel MOSFETs requires a gate voltage approximately 10 volts above the supply voltage. To accomplish this, the controller features an integrated charge pump to boost the gate voltage to the high-side MOSFETs. When the supply voltage to the controller is too low to sustain proper charge pump action, the controller will go into shutdown mode, disabling all motor outputs, and illuminating the DIS LED. When the voltage rises above the minimum level, the controller will be reenabled automatically. Over-temperature: During normal operation within the maximum limits of the controller, the controller should not go into over-temperature shut down. In the event that the internal die temperature reaches approximately 160 degrees C, the controller will automatically shut down to prevent damage. Fuse Activated: A 4-amp resettable fuse is integrated into the controller. If the fuse activates, simply remove power, allow a minute for the fuse to reset, check all wiring, and re-apply power. Reverse Polarity: An on-board diode prevents any damage should the board be inadvertently connected backwards to the power supply. 5 CV-HB 201 H-Bridge On-board 5 V regulator The 5 V output can be used to power a microcontroller, logic or other circuitry. For proper regulation, the voltage supplied to the H-Bridge must be at least 7 volts. At operating voltages below 7 volts, 5 volt regulation is not guaranteed. In general, it is not recommended to power noise-sensitive circuitry from this 5 V output. Since the regulator shares the same power supply as the motor, electrical noise from the motor will feed back into the power supply. When powering logic circuits and microcontrollers, be sure to install a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor at each logic chip's VDD and GND pins, as close to the chip as possible. Follow recommended grounding practices to reduce the possibility of interference. Design Considerations: Ensure that the wires carrying the load current are adequately sized. The controller should be located as close to the motor as possible. If the wires between the power source and the controller need to be greater than 1 foot long, then add a 1000 F capacitor rated for at least twice the supply voltage across the power input terminals of the controller. PWM controllers switch currents at high frequencies to vary the average power to the load. This switching can cause undesirable RF interference. To minimize such interference, it is recommended to twist the input V+ and Ground wire pair as well as the MOT+ and MOTwire pair. In addition, installation of a small capacitor from each of the two motor terminals to the metal case may reduce noise emission. Always turn off the power supply before making any changes to the wiring. Ensure that the controller has adequate air flow for proper cooling. If operating for extended periods of time in high temperature environments at maximum capacity, a cooling fan may be necessary. 6 CV-HB 201 H-Bridge 30-Day Limited Warranty: Subject to the provisions described below, CRITICAL VELOCITY ENTERPRISES, LLC ("Critical Velocity") warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for thirty (30) days from the date of purchase by the original consumer.
