BRAKING
As shown in figure 9, the braking circuit pulls the N-
Channel MOSFET gates high when BRAKE falls below a
1.4V threshold. After a power failure, CDLY is discharged
slowly through RDLY providing a delay for retract to occur
before the braking circuit is activated. The N-Channel
buffer (B1) tri-states when the BRAKE pin reaches 2.1V to
ensure that no charge from CBRK is lost through the pull-
down transistor in B1. To brake the motor with external
signals, first disable power by pulling pin 8 low, then pull
pin 26 below 1.4V using an open drain (or diode isolated)
output.
The bias current for the Braking circuits comes from
VCC2. When the N-Channel MOSFETs turn on, no
additional power is generated for VCC2 (motor back-EMF
rectified through out the MOSFET body diodes). After
VCC2 drops below 4V, Q2 turns off. Continued braking
relies on the CGS of the N-Channel MOSFETs to sustain
the MOSFET gate enhancement voltage.
