POWER WINDOW SYSTEM

General
When the start-key is turned on by operator, the FAN8903 will wait the command up or down of the window.

Upon the command up, the power stage composed of relays will be activated by basic function circuit which consists of input,
logic, timing and output circuit.

So the motor starts to rotate in the right direction to lift the window, while rotate in the counter direction with the command
down to down the window.

The OCP (over current protector) is made up to protect the motor in an abnormal condition of the system during the rotation of
motor according to the command up or down.

The OCP time technique is used to detect over current not sensitive to a start peak current or a current slightly lager than the
reference current.

The FAN8903 is based on the safety by consisting of the human body protection circuit with a simple switch attached to the
window frame for cost-effective method but hard to the european specification. It also is possible to use photo sensor to meet
the specification.

Moreover the FAN8903 has the car-key turn-off function and the mode selection function.

In the state of the start-key turned off, all the blocks in the FAN8903 are kept to be off because the power is not supplied into
UVLO&REFERENCE block.

When the start-key is turned on, the power is supplied into UVLO block to activate reference block in normal condition.

R6 Ct Q1

If the up/down switch is pushed less than a set time (Ts), TR (Q1) will be turned off and capacitor (Ct) is charged exponentially
until Vct equals to V5. At that time TR (Q1) is turned on and stops the operation.

But if longer than TS, capacitor (Ct) continues its charge until Vct equals to Vref3. Then Q1 is turned on and the auto function
terminates its operation.

The TS and Ta(auto time) were determinate by components (Rt & Ct), external divider and Vref3.
T S = 0.05 × ( Rt × Ct ) , where V5 = 0.25V
T a = 2.10 × ( Rt × Ct ) , where Vref3 = 4.4V

In the manual mode, the window goes up or down just while a switch is pushed. In the step mode and the auto mode, even after
releasing the switch, the window continues its movements except for pushing the switch again (the topple) or happening to the
stall condition.

Car-key Turn-off Function

The window can be operated for a certain period even in the state of the start-key to be off. If the start-key is turned off, the dis-
charge time for the voltage V1 to pin #15 will be determined by the following time constant.
τ = ( R1 + R2 )C1

User can get a time he wants as the discharge time for the voltage V1 by changing the capacity of the cap (C1) and the values
of the resistances (R1 or R2).

Therefore, the user can operate the window for a limited time (about 30sec) even if the start-key is turned off

Notes:
1. L : M1 or M2 = Ground, H : M1 or M2 = Open
2. NORMAL: The window is working as long as the up or down switch is pressed.
3. TOGGLE: When the window works by pressing the up or down switch, the window is stopped if the up or down switch is
pressed once more.
4. STEP & AUTO: If the up or down switch is pressed for a certain period (0.3 seconds), the window works for 0.3 seconds,
while 6 seconds if pressed for more than a certain period (0.3 seconds).

Over Current Protection

Simple Applications
The voltage (Vrs) proportional to the motor current is generated across the resistor (RS). If the Vrs exceeds the reference volt-
age (Vref), over current part-time integration carried out through R3, C2 and OP-amp.

When the amount of over current integration is lager than S2, the over current signal issued.

The cancel time (TC) between motor stall and motor switch-off is determined by following equations;
T C = ( C2 × dV ) ⁄ I C where , I C = ( Vrs – Vref ) ⁄ R3
dV = Vouth – 0.8

You can adjust both the value of the sensing resistor (RS) according to motor type and the cancel time by changing R3 and
C2. Additionally the over current detection of the FAN8903 is immune to any sudden peak current or a current slightly lager
than the reference current.

Temperature Compensation Applications

Generally speaking, the less ambient temperature, the more motor current. In the previous applications, there are some diffi-
culties to decide the reference current level.

In case of low ambient temperature, the difference between the operating motor current and the reference current is very small.
When the reference current level is high, the margin is large. But at a high ambient temperature, the difference between the
motor current and the stall current is small.

Moreover, the stall current at depends on a battery voltage. It is hard to decide what the optimal reference level is.

In the following figure, in the room temperature, the inverting voltage (V2) and the reference current are calculated as follows;
V2 = Vcom × R3 ⁄ ( Rntc + Rt + R3 )
Vcom = Vref – V2

The resistance of the NTC decreases according to rising of the ambient temperature. So the reference level, Vcom is changed
with the temperature change as shown in the following figure.

To ensure precision of the reference level, Rt can be adjusted.

Human Body Protection(HBP)

Using An End Switch

The human body protection is to be carried out when the over current protection signal is issued just while the window glass
is up going and the end switch is closed, in the auto mode. The controller stop the window glass, and then reverses the rotating
direction of motor to move down the window at the bottom.

There are some cases in the window glass to be locked; its upper limit, bottom, and obstacle like human body, neck, and hand
etc. The OCP function would work in any cases. So it is necessary for the controller to discriminate whether something is
squeezed between the window glass and the window frame or not.

The end switch is opened only when the window glass reaches almost its upper limit.

Leave the F/C pin open unless you want this function.

Using Photo Devices (No Touch Sensor)

In case of using an end switch, the HBP function works on the condition that the over current signal is issued.

So it could have some sensitivity problem. It is very hard to decide what the optimal reference current and cancel time are.

We have tested new principle and as a result, developed one light based HBP function. The below figure explain the principle
of the operation.

As sender and receiver are arranged together, it is possible for the receiver to detect the sent diode light.

 FAN8903(KA3903)

The position of the sensor must be set adequately upper part of the window. When the obstacle between the window glass and
the upper limit are inserted, the light sensor TR is turned off. The sensor have a two function;

- End position switch,

- Issuing the OCP signal.

Q2 is used to make the F/C pin low, and Q4 enables to turn-on Q6 to issue the OCP signal.

As soon as Q2 is turned on, V2 changes from the equation mentioned in 6.2 paragraph to the below equation.
V2 = Vcom × [ R10 // ( Rntc + Rt ) ] ⁄ [ R10 // ( Rntc + Rt ) + R5 ]

and OP-amp output become low level. Therefore the HBP logic stops the motor and reverses the direction of the motor.

You can adjust the delay time by changing the value of the resistor, R10. The added part works only when Q5 is on-state. In
other words, when the window glass is moving upward, the added part operates. Q3 is also turned on and holds the F/C pin low
level.

Output Stage
The output stage is a darlington TR with an integrated zener diode, and designed at a pulse current of a approx. 0.4A. The
zener diode limits the inductive switch-off voltage. The relay coil has a typical resistances of 200Ω, and the zener diode volt-
age is 18.6V.

With the circuitry of this type, the FAN8903 can sustain 24V for one minute (or continuously) and load dump
(70V, 0.2sec) condition without a damage.

FAN8903(KA3903)

Power Supply
For the reasons of interference protection and surge immunity, all circuit should be provided with a RC circuit for a current
limitation in the event of overvoltage and for buffering in the event of voltage dips at Vref.

Suggested dimensioning; Rin=180Ω, Cin=47µF, as shown in the typical applications.

There ia a 18.6V zener diode between VCC and GND.

Load Dump Protection

The load dump protection withstands up to 70V (refer to the typical application-I) with a decay time.

In this case, the power dissipation of the FAN8903 takes please at three parts; VCC, OUT1 and OUT2.

But in the typical application-II, the supply voltage of the relay is limited the internal zener diode voltage.

The power dissipation of the output stage is not on count. So the FAN8903 can withstand up to 100V load dump with τ=
200ms.

1. REVERSE BATTERY VOLTAGE PROTECTION

In case of the reverse battery, the FAN8903 is modeled with a diode. Due to the external impedance at pin #16, the FAN8903
is protected against reverse battery voltage for one minute (or continuously).
