Application information
Application information
A typical application using the L6229 device is shown in Figure 23. Typical component
values for the application are shown in Table 9. A high quality ceramic capacitor (C2) in the
range of 100 nF to 200 nF should be placed between the power pins VSA and VSB and
ground near the L6229 device to improve the high frequency filtering on the power supply
and reduce high frequency transients generated by the switching. The capacitor (CEN)
connected from the EN input to ground sets the shutdown time when an overcurrent is
detected (see Section 10: Non-dissipative overcurrent detection and protection). The two
current sensing inputs (SENSEA and SENSEB) should be connected to the sensing resistor
RSENSE with a trace length as short as possible in the layout. The sense resistor should be
non-inductive resistor to minimize the di/dt transients across the resistor. To increase noise
immunity, unused logic pins are best connected to 5 V (high logic level) or GND (low logic
level) (see Table 5: Pin description on page 6). It is recommended to keep power ground
and signal ground separated on PCB.
