DESCRIPTION
The MSA240 is a surface mount constructed PWM amplifier
that provides a cost effective solution in many industrial applica-
tions. The MSA240 offers outstanding performance that rivals
many much more expensive hybrid components. The MSA240
is a complete PWM amplifier including an oscillator, comparator,
error amplifier, current limit comparators, 5V reference, a smart
controller and a full bridge output circuit. The switching frequency
is user programmable up to 50 kHz. The MSA240 is built on
a thermally conductive but electrically insulating substrate that
can be mounted to a heatsink.

TORQUE MOTOR CONTROL
With the addition of a few external components the MSA240
becomes a motor torque controller. In the MSA240 the source
terminal of each low side MOSFET driver is brought out for
current sensing via R
S
A and R
S
B. A1 is a differential amplifier
that amplifies the difference in currents of the two half bridges.
This signal is fed into the internal error amplifier that mixes the
current signal and the control signal. The result is an input
signal to the MSA240 that controls the torque on the motor.
