TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

PWM GATE frequency. Thus, the rates are accelerated by a

factor of 16.

LOW-PASS FILTER, DAC, AND ANALOG DUTY

CYCLE REGULATOR COMPARATOR

The output voltage Vo of combiners CB1 and CB2 is

coupled to an input of a 300 Hz low-pass filter (Rf, Cf) to

remove high-frequency components of system noise at Vbat

and thus associated with voltages Vls, or Vrs. The output of

the low-pass filter is coupled to a unity-gain buffer FB that

provides a filter buffer FB output.

The 4 MSBs of the 8-bit counter causes the DAC to

generate a 4-bit 395 Hz voltage waveform having

16 descending 1.75 mV steps, ramping from Vref to [Vref -

28 mV], where Vref is the 2.0 V reference voltage.

An analog duty cycle comparator (Cdc) compares the DAC

output voltage waveform to the voltage at the FB output (Vfb).

When voltage Vfb is less then voltage [Vref - 28 mV],

comparator Cdc outputs a logic [1], for a 100% duty cycle.

When voltage Vfb is greater than Vref, comparator Cdc

outputs a logic [0] for a 0% duty cycle. When (Vref -

28 mV) < Vfb < Vref, comparator Cdc outputs a duty cycle

defined by the High / Low output voltage ratio for each period

(about 2.54 ms) of the DAC output voltage waveform.

BASIC SYSTEM VOLTAGE REGULATION

From a system voltage regulation viewpoint, the voltages

Vrem and Vl from the Remote or Local connections,

respectively, are scaled to the Remote Sense and Local

Sense inputs as voltages Vrs and Vls respectively and

transferred to the FB output as voltage Vfb. Voltage Vfb is

compared to the DAC output voltage waveform to generate

the ON and OFF time of the analog duty cycle waveform.

When voltage Vfb is less than Vref - 28 mV, the output of

comparator Cdc is in a high state. This high state propagates

through an AND3 GATE, an OR1 GATE, and an AND4 GATE

to activate switch S3, generating a fully ON or High GATE

drive voltage. When voltage Vfb is greater than Vref, the

output of comparator Cdc is in a low state. This low state

propagates through the AND3 GATE, the OR1 GATE, and

the AND4 GATE to activate switch S3 to generate a fully OFF

or low GATE drive voltage. Assuming voltage Vref is 2.0 V

and Vfb = Vrs, and the local or remote input resistive scale

factor is 7.45, the external MOSFET provides a fully ON field

current when the system voltage is less than 7.45

(Vref - 28 mV), or 14.6 V. The field current is also fully OFF

when the system voltage is greater than 7.45 (Vref), or

14.9 V. When voltage Vfb is less than any portion of the DAC

waveform voltage, comparator Cdc output is high to produce

an ON field current. When voltage Vfb is greater than any

portion of the DAC waveform voltage, comparator Cdc output

is low to produce an OFF field current. Thus the system

feedback will regulate the PWM duty cycle of the field current

from 0% to 100% over about a 210 mV system regulation

voltage range (dVreg). The system voltage is centered at

14.8 V, where a 50% duty cycle field current results for an

average system load current, and the duty cycle regulation

frequency is (fosc / 256), or 395 Hz. Since voltage Vref has a

negative TC, voltage Vset will also have a regulation voltage

temperature coefficient (TCVreg) of about -11 mV/ °C.

INPUT PHASE AND FREQUENCY SWITCH

RESPONSE

The phase voltage Vph results from the alternator's stator

AC output voltage being applied to the PHASE input pin.

A phase detection threshold voltage (VTph) is approximately

4.0 V due to the 1.25 V phase reference voltage for the phase

comparator (Cph) and the 3.22 voltage ratio associated with

the phase input resistor divider. The phase input resistance

(Rph) is typically 60 kΩ. A PHASE FILTER pin is coupled to

the input of Comparator Cph, providing for an external phase

filter capacitance when filtering of high frequency phase

noise is desired. A typical value of .003 µF to AGND provides

for an input phase 3.0 db roll-off frequency of about 10 kHz.

Comparator Cph also provides about 480 mV of hysteresis at

the PHASE input pin. Comparator Cph further provides a

phase signal binary output voltage having a phase frequency

of fph and is applied to digital frequency switches F1 and F2.

Switch F1 outputs a logic [1] when frequency fph is less then

phase detection frequency f1. Frequency f1 is equal to

frequency fmsb/8, or 49.3 Hz for a 101 kHz oscillator

frequency. Switch F2 outputs a logic [1] when the frequency

fph is greater then the low/high transition frequency f2.

Frequency f2 is equal to frequency 3fmsb /4, or 296 Hz for a

101 kHz oscillator frequency. These frequency switches are

used to define the Load Response Control region of

operation, an undervoltage at a high RPM fault condition, and

a low RPM fault condition due to a broken or loose belt.

LOAD RESPONSE CONTROL (LRC)

The LRC circuit consists of a digital duty cycle generator,

an analog/digital (A/D) duty cycle comparator and tracking

circuit, an up/down control switch, an up/down (U/D) counter,

a programmable divider (Np), and a multiplexer (MUX).

During normal operation, the LRC circuit becomes active and

generates digital duty cycle control of the GATE drive when

frequency fph is less than frequency f2 (f1 < fph < f2). The slow

LRC response becomes inactive and the analog duty cycle

controls the GATE drive when frequency fph is greater than

frequency f2 (f1 < fph < f2). During initial ignition and initial

engine start, the LRC response is in effect, independent of

frequency fph, until system voltage is regulating at voltage

Vset.

The digital duty cycle generator receives the 4 MSBs from

the 8-bit counter as input and generates 11 discrete digital

duty cycles on 11 output lines. The frequency of each duty

cycle waveform is about 395 Hz (fmsb), which results from the

MSB of the 8-bit division of the 101 kHz OSC clock

frequency. The minimum duty cycle on the first output line is

31.25% and the maximum duty cycle on the eleventh output

line is 93.75%. The duty cycle difference between each

incremental duty cycle is 6.25%. All 11 duty cycle generator

output lines are coupled as data inputs to the MUX.
