Hi,
I am using a board which contains two LM5106 (half-bridge gate driver), driving 4 MOSFET mounted in H-bridge configuration. I am driving a DC motor. The output of one branch is illustrated on the graph below:
As far as I understand, the branch turns "ON", and turns "OFF" 60 ms later, then the falling voltage slope is due to the induced voltage due to motor rotation. If I add some torque on the rotor, the falling slope gets more negative. If I add sufficient torque on the rotor, the "OFF" stage disappears and the bridge works well.
Why is the LM5106 driver is malfunctioning? I had a look at the datasheet, I know there is a undervoltage protection but the 12V rail, powering the driver as well as the bridge is perfectly stable. Why is the LM5106 working well when I add some torque on the rotor ?
Thank for any suggestions!
Best regards,
