ATA6823
Introduction
The Atmel ATA6823 is designed specifically for automotive applications that require high-
power motors. It provides four high-current gate driver outputs capable of driving a wide
range of n-channel power MOSFETs in a full-bridge configuration. A fully integrated charge
pump with external capacitors provides the gate voltage for the high-side output stages.
The Atmel ATA6823 supports low-speed LIN-data communication up to 20kBaud in compli-
ance with LIN specification 2.0 using a built-in LIN transceiver. Protection features include
undervoltage/overvoltage detection and shutdown, overtemperature shutdown, and short
circuit detection of motor leads to battery voltage and to ground. Shoot-through protection
is guaranteed using a dead-time adjustment which can be set by hardware.
Features
Header pins X1 to connect to LIN bus as well as power supply output and EN2
wake-up (see Table 1-1 on page 5)
Microcontroller connector interface (See Table 1-2 on page 6)
4-mm banana plugs to connect power Supply BAT and GND
(see Figure 1-2 on page 3)
Included power DC motor on-board, turn direction indicated by LEDs
Vias M+ and M to connect optional DC motor
Optional connection of external motor h-bridge (See Figure 1-6 on page 7)
Push-button EN2 to wake-up Atmel ATA6823
Jumper VMODE to select VCC output voltage level
Jumper RWD to select different WD resistors
Shunt for DC motor current measurement

1. Application Board
The Atmel ATA6823 application board allows the running of a DC motor. The supply voltage is 8V to 18V, maximum power
of the DC motor is limited by the external H-bridge MOSFETs. No microcontroller is implemented on-board. It is possible to
control the motor either via an external microcontroller (with or without LIN bus), or directly (using the DIR and PWM pins).

Button Symbol Function
1 EN2 It is possible to wake up the ATA6823 either by LIN or by push button EN2
The application board offers the possibility of an external H-bridge connection (see Figure 1-6).
The external H-bridge can be supplied by the 4-mm banana plugs PBAT_MOTOR and PGND_MOTOR.
The gate driver and sense pins are available via header pin connector X3 (see Table 1-3 on page 6). To change between the
on-board H-bridge and the external H-bridge, jumpers JH2 to JL1 (see Table 1-4 on page 6) have to be changed to lower
position 1-2.
According to LIN specification 2.0, resistor R4 is not necessary when using the Atmel ATA6823 as slave. This is the default
at delivery.
To change the Atmel ATA6823 LIN from slave mode to master mode, complying with LIN specification 2.0, a 1k resistor
has to be inserted in place of R4, and reverse battery protection diode has to be inserted in place of D3.
2.2 Enable
After power-on, the Atmel ATA6823 is in run mode. A falling edge at pin EN1 switches the device to standby mode.
Switching Atmel ATA6823 back to run mode is possible either by switching LIN to GND or by switching EN2 to VBAT.
EN2 can be switched up to VBAT. EN1 uses 5V logic and would be destroyed by switching to the VBAT level.
Signal Description
DG1 Short circuit
DG2 Supply monitoring, charge pump
DG3 Overtemperature warning
3.1 Watchdog
The module generates a trigger signal of approximately fWD = 70Hz, which is required in case of the default watchdog
resistor RWD = R6 = 33k.
3.2 PWM
The module also provides the PWM signal with duty cycle from 0% to 100%, adjustable by speed potentiometer (see
Table 3-1). The PWM frequency of the example program is fPWM = 25kHz.
3.5 Diagnosis
If a short circuit is indicated by diagnosis pin DG1, the microcontroller will switch off the H-bridge immediately. Turning it on
again is locked. Push button Ramp1 controls the unlock function.
DG2 voltage diagnosis also causes the switching off of the gate driver. To release, use push button Ramp2.
Overtemperature DG3 warning is indicated in the display, the H-bridge stops.
The overtemperature signaling is not latched, after cooling down the signal disappears, the H-bridge starts running again.
