Product details
Overview
TLE4729GXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a bipolar 2-phase stepper motor driver IC with two integrated full-bridge outputs (0.7 A per phase), chopper-based current control, and dual error-flag outputs for open-load, short-circuit, and over-temperature detection. It operates from 5–16 V supply, supports microprocessor-controlled phase direction and current mode selection (Hold/Normal/Accelerate), and features inhibit mode with <50 µA quiescent current - used in automotive HVAC actuators, industrial valve positioners, and precision lab equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLE4729GXUMA1 datasheet, TLE4729GXUMA1 pinout, TLE4729GXUMA1 application, or TLE4729GXUMA1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its PG-DSO-24-16 package, inverse current programming vs. TLE4728G, oscillator frequency tuning via external 2.2 nF capacitor, and dual independent error signaling (Error 1 for open-load/short-to-VS; Error 2 for short-to-GND/over-temp).
Technical Context
The TLE4729GXUMA1 integrates two independent full-bridge output stages with fast integrated freewheeling diodes and crossover-current-free switching. Its internal oscillator (~25 kHz with 2.2 nF on OSC pin) drives chopper control for both phases with offset turn-on timing to reduce EMI and thermal stress.
Current magnitude per phase is set by four digital inputs (IX0/IX1 per phase) enabling four modes: no current (inhibit), hold (0.155 × Iset), normal (Iset = 450 mA at Rsense = 1 Ω), and accelerate (1.55 × Iset). Phase direction is controlled separately via PH1/PH2 inputs, allowing bidirectional microstepping-compatible operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | ±0.7 A per phase - supports bipolar stepper motors up to NEMA 11 size with constant-current chopping. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 5–16 V - compatible with 12 V automotive and industrial DC rails; absolute max 45 V for transient robustness. |
| Current Programming | Four digital inputs (IX0/IX1 ×2) - select hold/normal/accelerate/no-current modes with 0.155×/1×/1.55×/0× scaling of Iset. |
| Oscillator Frequency | ~25 kHz (typ.) with 2.2 nF to GND on OSC pin - sets chopper switching rate for optimal torque ripple and thermal performance. |
| Error Outputs | Two open-drain flags: Error 1 (open-load/short-to-VS), Error 2 (short-to-GND/over-temp) - enable fault isolation without external logic. |
| Quiescent Current | <50 µA in inhibit mode - enables low-power standby in battery-operated positioning systems. |
| Thermal Protection | Prealarm at 120 °C, shutdown at 140 °C, 20 K hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSO-24-16 (24-pin exposed-pad SOIC variant with 16 functional pins and 8 GND leads for thermal and EMI performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 23, 24 | Current Program Inputs (IX0/IX1 ×2) | Select per-phase current mode (no current/hold/normal/accelerate); logic thresholds: VIH = 1.7 V, VIL = 0.8 V. |
| 3, 22 | Phase Direction Inputs (PH1, PH2) | Control current polarity per winding; H = Q11→Q12 flow, L = reverse - enables full-step and half-step sequencing. |
| 4 | Oscillator Timing Input | Connect 2.2 nF capacitor to GND to set ~25 kHz chopper frequency; internal oscillator drives both bridges with phase offset. |
| 9, 12, 13, 16 | Full-Bridge Outputs (Q11/Q12/Q21/Q22) | Push-pull drivers with integrated freewheeling diodes; Vsat ≤ 0.5 V @ 0.7 A - minimizes conduction loss and heat generation. |
| 10, 15 | Current Sense Resistors (R1, R2) | Connect external sense resistors (typically 1 Ω) to set Iset = 450 mA; comparator threshold Vch = 410 mV (hold), Vca = 630 mV (accelerate). |
| 11 | Power Supply (VS+) | Motor supply input; requires local decoupling: ≥47 µF electrolytic + 100 nF ceramic, placed near pin 11 and GND pins. |
| 14, 21 | Error Flag Outputs (Error 2, Error 1) | Open-drain outputs pulled low on fault; Error 1 = open-load/short-to-VS, Error 2 = short-to-GND/over-temp - support sequential bridge reactivation for fault location. |
| 5–8, 17–20 | Ground (GND) | Eight dedicated GND pins internally connected to leadframe - ensure low-impedance return path and thermal dissipation via exposed pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverse current programming vs. TLE4728G | Enables drop-in replacement in legacy designs with updated firmware handling of IX0/IX1 logic states. |
| Dual independent error flags | Allows hardware-level fault classification (open-load vs. short-circuit) without MCU intervention or additional comparators. |
| Offset-phase turn-on of output stages | Reduces peak supply current and system-level EMI by staggering bridge switching edges within one oscillator period. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bipolar stepper motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE4728GXUMA1 | Identical pinout and function but standard (non-inverse) current programming logic; no inhibit mode. | Lacks automatic inhibit on all-IX-low; requires external logic for ultra-low-power standby. | Choose when migrating legacy TLE4728G designs without firmware updates for inverse logic handling. |
| DRV8811PWPR | 2.5 A per phase, SPI interface, integrated current sense amplifier; no dual error flags or AEC-Q100 qualification. | Supports higher torque motors and closed-loop current feedback but lacks automotive-grade fault classification. | Choose for non-automotive industrial systems requiring >0.7 A drive or digital current monitoring. |
Compared with TLE4729GXUMA1, TLE4728GXUMA1 simplifies firmware but sacrifices inhibit mode and fault isolation granularity, while DRV8811PWPR increases drive strength and interface flexibility at the cost of automotive compliance and discrete error signaling.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the OSC pin and how is it configured?
The OSC pin connects to an external 2.2 nF capacitor to ground to set the internal chopper oscillator frequency to approximately 25 kHz. This frequency determines the PWM switching rate for current regulation in both bridge outputs. The oscillator drives both phases with intentional timing offset to reduce peak supply current and electromagnetic interference.
How does the inhibit mode work and what triggers it?
Inhibit mode activates automatically when all four current-program inputs (IX0 and IX1 for both phases) are driven low. In this state, both bridges disable, motor current drops to zero, and total supply current falls below 50 µA. The mode is designed for ultra-low-power standby in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications like automotive HVAC modules between commands.
What distinguishes Error 1 and Error 2 outputs?
Error 1 goes low for open-load conditions, short-circuits to VS, or over-temperature events. Error 2 goes low for short-circuits to ground or over-temperature. Both are open-drain outputs. Their independence allows hardware-level fault classification - for example, a low Error 1 with high Error 2 indicates an open winding, while both low suggests over-temperature or simultaneous shorts.
Can TLE4729GXUMA1 drive unipolar stepper motors?
No - the TLE4729GXUMA1 is designed exclusively for bipolar stepper motors and other inductive loads requiring full-bridge (H-bridge) current reversal. Its architecture provides bidirectional current control per winding via PH1/PH2 inputs and complementary Q11/Q12 or Q21/Q22 outputs. Unipolar motors require center-tapped windings and single-ended drive, which this IC does not support.
