TLE 4726
Application Hints
The TLE 4726 is intended to drive both phases of a stepper motor. Special care has
been taken to provide high efficiency, robustness and to minimize external components.
Power Supply
V
The TLE 4726 will work with supply voltages ranging from 5 V to 50 V at pin
. As the
S
circuit operates with chopper regulation of the current, interference generation problems
can arise in some applications. Therefore the power supply should be decoupled by a
0.22 F ceramic capacitor located near the package. Unstabilized supplies may even
afford higher capacities.
Current Sensing
R
The current in the windings of the stepper motor is sensed by the voltage drop across
1
R
and
. Depending on the selected current internal comparators will turn off the sink

transistor as soon as the voltage drop reaches certain thresholds (typical 0 V, 0.25 V,

0.5 V and 0.75 V); (

). These thresholds are neither affected by variations

nor by variations of

Due to chopper control fast current rises (up to 10 A/ s) will occur at the sensing

R
should be pure ohmic. The resistors should be wired to GND as directly as possible.

Capacitive loads such as long cables (with high wire to wire capacity) to the motor should
be avoided for the same reason.
Synchronizing Several Choppers
In some applications synchrone chopping of several stepper motor drivers may be
desireable to reduce acoustic interference. This can be done by forcing the oscillator of
the TLE 4726 by a pulse generator overdriving the oscillator loading currents
(approximately 100 A). In these applications low level should be between 0 V and 1 V
V
while high level should be between 2.6 V and
.

Optimizing Noise Immunity
Unused inputs should always be wired to proper voltage levels in order to obtain highest
possible noise immunity.
To prevent crossconduction of the output stages the TLE 4726 uses a special break
before make timing of the power transistors. This timing circuit can be triggered by short
glitches (some hundred nanoseconds) at the Phase inputs causing the output stage to
become high resistive during some microseconds. This will lead to a fast current decay
during that time. To achieve maximum current accuracy such glitches at the Phase
inputs should be avoided by proper control signals.
