SLDS152 – JANUARY 2008

When a motor lock is detected, the TMP821 automatically shuts down its output current. When the motor lock is

removed, the TMP821 automatically restarts. Motor lock is detected when the Hall signal stops switching, as

shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2.

tON and tOFF are determined by the capacitor connected to LD:

tON = (CLD × (VLD_CLAMP – VLD_COMP) / ILD_CHARGE (seconds)

tOFF = (CLD × (VLD_CLAMP – VLD_COMP) / ILD_DISCHARGE (seconds)

Where:

CLD = capacitance of the external capacitor on LD

VLD_CLAMP = LD clamp voltage

VLD_COMP = LD comparator voltage

ILD_CHARGE = LD charge current

ILD_DISCHARGE = LD discharge current

NOTE:

After power is supplied to the device, the the lock detection pin (AL) may remain high

for a few hundred milliseconds (see Figure 3).
