Powered off Braking (POB)

When the motor is driven by external force, it acts as a generator and pumps back current to the supply voltage rail. This can potentially damage other circuits connected to the supply rail. The powered off braking (POB) feature is implemented to prevent the increase in the supply voltage. POB should only be used with H-bridge loads.

In low-power sleep mode or when the bridge is disabled (Hi-Z), if the supply voltage is more than VVMOV_POB and if the voltage of the output nodes rise above the supply voltage by more than VPOB_TH, the device turns on the two low-side MOSFETs. This allows the device to actively brake a motor connected to the outputs by shorting the back emf across the motor terminals.

For the SPI variant -

  • Powered off braking (POB) is enabled by default.

  • After power-up, the EN_POB bit in CONFIG3 register can be made 0b to disable this feature.

  • The EN_POB logic state is latched, so that in sleep mode the device behaves as per the EN_POB bit setting, even though the internal digital logic is reset.

    • The VDD supply must be present to latch the EN_POB state.

    • If VDD is cycled, the EN_POB state is reset, and POB is enabled again during the next power-up. If POB was disabled before VDD was cycled, user has to disable POB again after VDD goes above UVLO level.

    • VM cycling will not have any effect on the EN_POB state.

For the HW variant in full-bridge mode, POB can be enabled or disabled by the DIAG pin setting.

In sleep mode, in case of a short circuit to power supply fault present on the power stage, a simple overcurrent detector circuit with analog RC deglitch filter is provided to disable the low-side MOSFET if a high current event is detected while braking. This is needed since the normal overcurrent protection circuits are disabled during the device low-power sleep mode. The overcurrent comparator and RC deglitch filter values are fixed and cannot be adjusted. If this limit is reached seven times, POB_EN is automatically set low & the POB function is disabled. POB disable is latched until a full power cycle (VDD = 0V & VM = 0V) occurs.
