# H-Bridge breakout PCB for CP2119L or TMI8260SP
|
|
* For driving DC motors, coils and other inductive loads
|
|
* Bi-directional output
|
|
* Up to 18V, 5A
|
|
* Works with 1.8 - 5.0V logic
|
|
* Overcurrent protection
|
|
* Short circuit protection
|
|
* Overheat protection
|
|
* Integrated flyback diodes
|
|
* Pretty idiot-proof
|
|
|

|
# Basic operation
|
|
|
|
* Logic HIGH on the FORWARD pin makes the motor spin FORWARD (M+ becomes VIN, M- becomes GND)
|
|
* Logic HIGH on the REVERSE pin makes the motor spin REVERSE (M+ becomes GND, M- becomes VIN)
|
|
* Logic HIGH on BOTH pins makes the motor ACTIVELY BREAK (M+ becomes GND, M- becomes GND)
|
|
* Logic LOW on BOTH pins makes the motor FREESPIN (M+ floats, M- floats)
|
|
|
|
## "Analog" control
|
|
* The power of the motor can be precisely adjusted (0-100%) by applying a PWM SQUARE WAVE to the FORWARD/REVERSE pins
|
|
* Recommended PWM frequency: 100Hz - 5KHz
|
|
* "analogWrite()" on Arduino produces a suitable 490Hz square wave with 255 levels of control

# PCB assembly / component configurations
|
|
|
|
## For Voltage 3-18V and Current 0-5A (basic configuration)
|
|
|
|
* Populate the TMI8260 (duh!). Note where pin 1 (marked) goes!
|
|
* Populate '2x10uF' with included ceramic capacitors
|
|
* Populate '220uF' with included polymer aluminium capacitor. Note where the negative goes!
|
|
* Skip the additional flyback diodes
|
|
* This works with PWM frequencies up to 5KHz
|
|
|
|
## For PWM frequency > 5KHz
|
|
* If the expected current is low (<3A), you can probably just use the basic configuration
|
|
* Otherwise, add 4x flyback diodes on the PCB
|
|
* SS54 or SS34 diodes, in SOD-123L package
|
|
* They are difficult to solder, sorry!
|
|
|
|
## For Voltage<10V AND Current<2A:
|
|
If you don't need the high power of this chip, consider using the DRV8835 module instead. It is cheaper and comes pre-assembled.
|
|
|
|
## For ONE directional control:
|
|
If you don't need bi-directional control, consider just using a N-MOSFET and flyback diode instead. Cheaper, simpler.

# Built in protections
|
|
The TMI8260/CP2119 has protection features that allow it to protect **ITSELF**
|
|
* It cannot protect the connected motor/coil - make sure VIN is a voltage that the motor can handle!
|
|
* It cannot fully protect the power source - make sure it can handle the current the motor will take!
|
|
|
|
## Overcurrent / short-circuit protection
|
|
* If the connected motor / coil attempts to take more than > 9A, overcurrent protection kicks in
|
|
* The device will stop supplying power for approx 50 microseconds, and let the current drop
|
|
* After that, the device will automatically retry applying current
|
|
* This is very helpful when starting large motors from a standstill - the surge current will be effectively limited, and the motor will slowly spin up instead of taking infinity amperes.
|
|
* This does protect the power source by limiting the consumed current to approx 9A
|
|
* This feature relies on the inductance of the connected motor/coil. If the inductance is too low, the safety feature will not have time to react before the current becomes too high.
|
|
|
|
## Overtemperature protection
|
|
* If the TMI8260 gets too hot (>150C) during continuous operation, it will temporarily stop providing power to the load
|
|
* After cooling down, it will automatically return to normal operation
|
|
|
|
## Integrated flyback diodes
|
|
* Inductive loads tend to induct reverse voltages that may damage drive circuitry
|
|
* The TMI8260 has integrated flyback diodes (inside the chip) that can handle most use cases
|
|
* The PCB has space for additional external flyback diodes, for more extreme cases (see "Use cases")
