GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4411 is architecturally similar to the ML4410 but with improved braking and brown-out recovery circuitry. Included in the ML4411 is the circuitry necessary for a Hard Disk Drive microcontroller driven control loop. The ML4411 controls motor current with either a constant off-time PWM or linear current control driven by the microcontroller. Braking and Power Fail are also included in the ML4411. The timing of the start-up sequencing is determined by the micro, allowing the system to be optimized for a wide range of motors and inertial loads. The ML4411 modulates the gates of external N-Channel power MOSFETs to regulate the motor current. The IC drives P-Channel MOSFETs directly. The ML4411A includes a comparator on the P3 output to prevent cross-conduction. FEATURES
