CXA2534Q

4-Channel CD Motor Driver

Description
CXA2534Q is a 4-channel H-bridge motor driver IC 48 pin QFP (Plastic)
designed for portable CD systems. It has a built-in
DC to DC converter controller that allows voltage
step-up to typically 3.2 V; this voltage can be used
to power the system DSP, SSP and micro-controller.
In addition, it also provides a PWM regulated power
supply to the H-bridge output stage so as to ensure
high efficiency.

Features
• 4 channels of H-bridge drivers
• PWM regulated power supply for H-bridge output
stages
• Step-up DC to DC converter controller for system
power supply
• Start and off controls with soft start capability
• Reset pulse
• Short circuit protect
• Over-voltage protect
• Low battery voltage detection
• Rechargeable battery charger
• General purpose operational amplifier
• Thermal shut-down for battery charger and H-
bridge driver (170 °C/140 °C)
• Direct interface with wired remote controller
possible

Applications
Portable CD player

Structure
Bipolar silicon monolithic IC

Description of Operation

1. H-Bridge Driver
a) Gain Setting
The input resistances of the Sled, Focus and Track channels are 11 kΩ (typical); the input resistance of
the Spindle channel is 7.5 kΩ (typical). The gain can be adjusted by connecting a external resistor, R at
the input pin of the channel.

Channel Unit
Sled channel
55 kΩ
Focus channel GV = 20 log dB
11 kΩ + R R - External Resistor
Track channel

110 kΩ
Spindle channel GV = 20 log dB
7.5 kΩ + R

b) Mute
The Spindle channel operates normally when the SP MUTE (pin 13) is open or at LOW (below 0.8 V).
The output will be muted when the SP MUTE pin is at HIGH (above 2 V). This is a high impedance
mute as the spindle output voltage will be not pulled to LOW.

The Focus and Track channels share the same mute pin (pin 8). The channels are muted when the FT
MUTE pin (pin 8) is open or at LOW level (below 0.8 V). When the Focus and Track channels are
muted, the quiescent current at the VCC2 pin is also reduced by almost half. This is because the bias
are removed when the mute is on.

c) Thermal Shutdown
The H-bridge Driver has an internal thermal shutdown circuit. All the channels outputs will be muted
when the chip temperature exceeds 170 °C (typical) and restored when the chip temperature falls to 140
°C (typical).

d) VREF pin
When the VREF pin (pin 4) is below 1 V (typical), the H-bridge driver will be at standby mode and the
quiescent current is zero (typical).

e) Dead Band
Dead band = 2 × input Resistance (attached external resistor + internal resistor) × 0.5 µA

The dead band is depended on input resistance. Thus, the dead band varies with the gain settings.
The dead band is 7.5 mV for Spindle channel and 11 mV for Sled, Focus and Track channels.

f) PWM Driver For PVCC

To ensure the good power efficiency of the H-bridge driver, a Buck DC-to-DC converter may be used to
regulate the PVCC. The controller selects the peak voltage among the channels and used it to control
the duty cycle of the PWM. External components necessary are: PNP transistor, inductor coil, diode
and capacitors. The configuration of a Buck DC-to-DC converter is shown as follow:

g) Bypass Capacitor
To have prevent noise, a bypass capacitor (roughly 0.1 µF) is connected from PVCC pin to the GND pin
as close as possible.

2. DC-to-DC Converter
a) VCC1 Voltage Setting
The VCC1 voltage can be adjusted by varying the two external resistors, R1 and R2. The formula for
VCC1 Voltage setting is:

R1R3 R2R4

R1+R3 R2+R4
VCC1 = 1.23 (V)

where R1 - External Resistor

R2 - External Resistor

R4 - 21 kΩ

b) Short Circuit Protection

If the VCC1 falls below the designed voltage for a long time, it will be considered as a short circuit at the
VCC1. In this case, the IC will detect this prolong drop in VCC1 and turn off the IC.

When the VCC1 is below the designed voltage, the error amplifier will output an HIGH at its EO pin (pin
42). The High level at EO pin will cause the SPRT pin’s capacitor (pin 44) to charge up by a constant
current of 10 µA. Once the voltage is above 1.23 V (typical), the IC will turn off. The duration of the
short circuit can be varied by the SPRT pin’s capacitor.

c) Soft Start
During start-up of the IC, the duty cycle of the DC-to-DC converter is increased slowly to a maximum of
80 %. The VCC1 voltage will also increase slowly. This is known as soft start.

During the soft start, the duty cycle of the SW pin (pin 40) is dependent on the voltage at the DEAD pin
(pin 41). The DEAD pin is connected to a capacitor which is being charged up by an internal resistance
of 65 kΩ. Therefore, the time taken for the duty cycle to reach the maximum is

t = CSPRT × R (sec) where R = 65 kΩ

d) Power Off
To turn off the DC-to-DC Converter, a LOW level is applied to the OFF pin (pin 26). When the OFF pin
is low, the IC will not turn off the DC-to-DC converter immediately but will charge up the SPRT pin’s
capacitor with a constant current of 20 µA. Once the SPRT pin’s voltage is above 1.23 V, the IC will
then shut down. Therefore, the delay is given by the formula below:

1.23 V
t= × CSPRT (sec)
20 µA

e) Over-Voltage Protection
The IC will detect a over-voltage if the voltage at the BSEN pin is above 8.4 V (typical). When over-
voltage occurred, the IC will shut down after a time delay. The time delay is determined by the time
taken for the SPRT pin’s capacitor to charge above 1.23 V. The charging current for the SPRT pin
capacitor is constant and is 20 µA.

t= × CSPRT (sec)
20 µA

f) Reset Pulse
When the VCC1 voltage rises above 90 % of the designed value, the RESET pin (pin 25) will change
from LOW level to HIGH level. A hysteresis of 50 mV (typical) is implemented to prevent the ‘chattering’
of the output at RESET pin.

g) Empty Detection
The EMP pin (pin 24) is used to indicate low battery voltage. When the BSEN pin falls below a certain
threshold voltage, the EMP pin will change from HIGH to LOW level. There are two threshold voltages,
depending on the SEL pin (pin 37). In order to prevent ‘chattering’ of the output at the EMP pin, a
hysteresis of 50 mV (typical) is implemented.

3. Battery Charger

The Battery Charger is separated from the rest of the circuit. The ChgVCC pin (pin 36) is the power supply
pin to the charger circuit. The charging current is drawn in from the SEL pin (pin 37) and can be set by an
external resistor at ISET pin (pin 35). The charger has a built-in thermal shut down circuit. The shut down
temperature is set to 170 °C and 140 °C is the recovery temperature.

4. Wired Remote Interface

When the IC is at standby, it can be activated by pulling the START pin (pin 30) or the KEY IN pin (pin 31)
LOW. The START pin is controlled by the PLAY button on the main set and the KEY IN pin is controlled by
the PLAY button on the wired remote control panel.

The wired remote interface circuit is powered at REMO BATT pin (pin 32) which is connected to the BATT.
To ensure that the voltage at REMO BATT pin is not greater than VCC1, a resistor and zener diode (Vz=3.1
V) may be necessary.

The DC IN pin (pin 33) will detect a pulse through a series capacitor when a AC adapter is power on. This
pulse will activate the IC also.
