The timing of lock detection and automatic restart is determined by the external capacitor connected to the LD pin. The charge time of the external capacitor is given by : ton (Charge time)= toff (Discharge time)= C S (VLDCLVLDCP) ILDC C S (VLDCLVLDCP) ILDD The timing chart for a motor lock occasion is shown in Fig. 1. 720 (Typical value) where VLDCL is the LD-pin clamp voltage (2.45V), (1.05V), VLDCP is the LD-pin comparator voltage (2.64µA), ILDC is the LD-pin charge current (0.48µA), ILDD is the LD-pin discharge current C is the capacitance of the LD-pin external capacitor. For C=0.47µF, for example, the charge (output ON) and discharge (output OFF) times are 0.24s and 1.37s, respectively. Motor driver ICs BA6817F / BA6818FS Application example 721 Motor driver ICs Operation notes (1) Thermal shutdown circuit The IC has a built-in thermal shutdown circuit. The is a temperature difference of 25C (typical) between the temperatures at which the circuit is activated and deactivated. The circuit is activated at the temperature of about 175C (typical), so that both output transistors are turned OFF. Normal operation resumes when the circuit is deactivated. (2) Power dissipation Power consumed in the IC can be calculated from the following equation : PC=PC1)PC2)PC3 PC1 is power consumed by the circuit current. PC1=VCZ ICC PC2 is the output stage current consumption. PC2=VOL IO VOL is the LOW level output voltage of output pins 1 and 2, and IO is the sink current of pins 1 and 2. PC3 is power consumed by the AL and HO pins. (The HO-pin is only for BA6818FS) where PC3=VALL IAL)VHOL IHO / 2 VALL is the AL-pin LOW level voltage, IAL is the AL-pin sink current, VHOL is the HO-pin LOW level voltage, IHO is the HO-pin sink current. Make sure that your application does not exceed the allowable power dissipation of the IC. 722 BA6817F / BA6818FS (3) Hall amplifier input voltage The R1 and R2 resistances must be set so as to maintain the Hall amplifier input bias voltage within the range of 0V to (VCZ*2V) including the signal amplitude. The Hall device may be affected by power supply noise due to the PCB conductor pattern. If you have this problem, insert a capacitor C1 as shown in Fig. 5. If the conductor lines from the Hall device output terminals to the Hall inputs of the IC are particularly long, noise can be picked up and fed into the inputs. If you have this problem, insert a capacitor C2 as shown in Fig. 5. Note that the Hall inputs have no hysteresis in this IC. Hall current is given by : VCZ R1)R2)RH where RH is the Hall device impedance. Motor driver ICs BA6817F / BA6818FS External dimensions (Units: mm) 723
