Product overview

1.1. Core feature

    ChipSourceTek-CST6130 is a brushed DC motor driver for small appliances, toys, electronic locks, advanced robots, digital products, and other small power tools and electromechanical equipment. It uses dual logic inputs to control the H-bridge driver, consisting of four n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect tubes (MOSFETs), capable of bidirectional control of the motor at peak currents up to 5.5A. Using the current attenuation mode, the motor speed can be controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM) of the input. When both inputs are set to low and held for a period of time, the motor driver will enter low-power sleep mode. In addition, it integrates UVLO (undervoltage lock) and internal shutdown for overheat protection, ensuring that internal shutdown can be achieved in the event of a failure.

1.2. Technical parameter

• Operating voltage range： 2.5V - 15V

• Average current drive capacity： 3.0A

• Peak current drive capability： 5.5A

• Low on-resistance： High side + low side（HS+LS=120mΩ）

• Control interface： PWM (Pulse width modulation) control interface

• Protective characteristic： VM undervoltage lock (UVLO), hot shutdown (TSD), automatic fault recovery

• Encapsulation form： e-SOP8

II、Product functions and features

2.1. Powerful driving function

    The ChipSourceTek-CST6130 has a single-channel H-bridge motor drive that can drive a DC motor or a stepper motor winding, as well as other loads. Its unique design makes it particularly good at driving brushed DC motors, providing stable current output and efficient motor control. At the same time, it also supports a variety of control methods, including forward, reverse, stop and brake functions, providing users with more choices and convenience.

2.2. Efficient current regulation

    The ChipSourceTek-CST6130 uses advanced current regulation technology to monitor the working state of the motor in real time and automatically adjust the current output as needed to ensure the stable operation of the motor. This function not only improves the working efficiency of the motor, but also prolongs the service life of the motor. The ChipSourceTek-CST6130 is able to handle both the high current demand at the moment of start-up and the steady current supply during normal operation.

2.3. Perfect protection mechanism

    To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the device, the ChipSourceTek-CST6130 integrates a number of protection features. These include UVLO (undervoltage locking) and overheat protection (TSD). When the power supply voltage is below the set value, the UVLO function will automatically shut down the driver to prevent the equipment from being damaged due to insufficient voltage; The overheat protection function can automatically cut off the circuit when the temperature is too high to avoid burning the equipment due to overheating. In addition, the drive features automatic failure recovery, which automatically returns to normal operation after a failure, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

2.4. Low power design

    Today, when energy saving and environmental protection become the theme of The Times, ChipSourceTek-CST6130 also follows the trend and adopts a low-power design. When the system does not need to drive the motor, the drive can enter a low-power sleep mode, which greatly reduces energy consumption. This not only helps to extend battery life, but also effectively reduces energy consumption, in line with the needs of modern society for green energy.

III、Application field

    ChipSourceTek-CST6130 is used in a wide variety of devices requiring precise control of motor speed and direction, including but not limited to:

• Small household appliances： Coffee maker, blender, vacuum cleaner, etc

• plaything： Remote control cars, robot toys, etc

• Electronic lock：Smart door locks, fingerprint safes, etc

• Advanced robot： Industrial robots, service robots, etc

• Digital product： Camera lens focus, printer, etc

• Other small power tools and mechanical and electrical equipment： Handheld electric screwdriver, portable electric drill, etc

IV、Usage method

4.1. Installation and connection

     Before using the ChipSourceTek-CST6130, make sure you have carefully read and understood all instructions in the product manual. First, install the driver correctly on the circuit board of the device, and connect the power and signal cables according to the pin definition. Then, according to the actual application scenario, set the appropriate working parameters, such as working voltage, maximum current, etc. Finally, the controller sends the corresponding instructions to control the motor start, stop, forward and reverse rotation and other actions.

4.2. Matters needing attention

•     Ensure that the supply voltage is within the specified range (2.5V-15V) to avoid damaging the drive.

•     Before connecting the load, be sure to check the correctness of the circuit to avoid short circuit or wrong connection.
      During use, pay attention to monitoring the temperature change of the motor to prevent overheating resulting in damage.
      If you need to change Settings or adjust parameters, turn off the power and wait until all indicators are off before performing operations.
