Cautions
1) The data for the case with the back side mounted shows the values when 90% or more of the Exposed Die-Pad is wet.
2) For the set design, employ the derating design with sufficient margin.
Stresses to be derated include the voltage, current, junction temperature, power loss, and mechanical stresses such as
vibration, impact, and tension.
Accordingly, the design must ensure these stresses to be as low or small as possible.
The guideline for ordinary derating is shown below :
(1)Maximum value 80% or less for the voltage rating
(2)Maximum value 80% or less for the current rating
(3)Maximum value 80% or less for the temperature rating
3) After the set design, be sure to verify the design with the actual product.
Confirm the solder joint state and verify also the reliability of solder joint for the Exposed Die-Pad, etc.
Any void or deterioration, if observed in the solder joint of these parts, causes deteriorated thermal conduction,
possibly resulting in thermal destruction of IC.

Description of operation
1. Input Pin Function
Each input terminal has the function to prevent the flow of the current from an input to a power supply.
Therefore, Even if a power supply (VM) is turned off in the state that applied voltage to an input terminal, the electric
current does not flow into the power supply.
1-1) Chip enable function
This IC is switched between standby and operating mode by setting the ST pin. In standby mode, the IC is set to
power-save mode and all logic is reset. In addition, the internal regulator circuit and charge pump circuit do not
operate in standby mode.

1-2) Drive mode switching pin function
The IC drive mode is switched by setting the DM pin. In STM mode, stepper motor channel 1 can be controlled by the
CLK-IN input. In DCM mode, DC motor channel 2 or stepper motor channel 1 can be controlled by parallel input.
Stepper motor control using parallel input is Full-step or Half-step full torque.

This is the initial position of each excitation mode in the initial state after power-on and when the counter is reset.
2-3) Position detection monitoring function
The MONI position detection monitoring pin is of an open drain type.
When the excitation position is in the initial position, the MONI output is placed in the ON state.
(Refer to "2-12.Examples of current waveforms in each micro-step mode.")

LV8774Q
2-4) Setting constant-current control reference current
This IC is designed to automatically exercise PWM constant-current chopping control for the motor current by setting
the output current. Based on the voltage input to the VREF pin and the resistance connected between RF and GND,
the output current that is subject to the constant-current control is set using the calculation formula below :
IOUT = (VREF/5)/RF resistance
* The above setting is the output current at 100% of each excitation mode.
The voltage input to the VREF pin can be switched to four-step settings depending on the statuses of the two inputs,
ATT1 and ATT2. This is effective for reducing power consumption when motor holding current is supplied.

The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is
given below.
IOUT = (VREF/5) × (attenuation ratio)/RF resistance
Example : At VREF of 1.5V, a reference voltage setting of 100% [(ATT1, ATT2) = (L, L)] and an RF resistance of
0.3, the output current is set as shown below.
IOUT = 1.5V/5 × 100%/0.3 = 1.0A
If, in this state, (ATT1, ATT2) is set to (H, H), IOUT will be as follows :
IOUT = 1.0A × 20% = 200mA
In this way, the output current is attenuated when the motor holding current is supplied so that power can
be conserved.

2-6) Blanking period
During normal operation switching transient noise from the parasitic diode may flow to the current sensing resistance,
resulting in erroneous detection. To prevent this erroneous detection, a blanking period is provided to prevent the
noise from being received.
In the stepper motor driver mode (DM = Low or Open) of this IC, the blanking time is fixed at approximately 1s.
In the DC motor driver mode (DM = High), the blanking time can be switched to one of two levels using the
RST/BLK pin. (Refer to "Blanking time switching function.")

The internal D/A converter proceeds by one bit at the rising edge of the input STEP pulse.
In addition, CW and CCW mode are switched by setting the FR pin.
In CW mode, the channel 2 current phase is delayed by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
In CCW mode, the channel 2 current phase is advanced by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
2-10) Chopping frequency setting
For constant-current control, this IC performs chopping operations at the frequency determined by the capacitor
(Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND.
The chopping frequency is set as shown below by the capacitor (Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND.
Fchop = Ichop/ (Cchop × Vtchop × 2) (Hz)
Ichop : Capacitor charge/discharge current, typ 10A
Vtchop : Charge/discharge hysteresis voltage (Vtup-Vtdown), typ 0.5V
For instance, when Cchop is 200pF, the chopping frequency will be as follows :
Fchop = 10A/ (200pF × 0.5V × 2) = 50kHz

For current mode control, the operation sequence is as described below :
 At rise of chopping frequency, the CHARGE mode begins. (During blanking time the CHARGE mode is forced
regardless of the magnitude of the coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF).)
 The coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF) are compared in this blanking time.
When (ICOIL < IREF)
the winding is charged until ICOIL  IREF, then changed to the SLOW DECAY mode, and finally to the
FAST DECAY mode for approximately 1s.
When (ICOIL  IREF)
the FAST DECAY mode begins immediately. The coil current is attenuated in the FAST DECAY for one
cycle.
Above operations are repeated. Normally, the SLOW (+FAST) DECAY mode continues in the sine wave increasing
direction, then entering the FAST DECAY mode till the current is attenuated to the set level, followed by the SLOW
DECAY mode.

The limit current is set as calculated on the basis of the voltage input to the VREF pin and the resistance between the
RF pin and GND using the formula given below.
Ilimit = (VREF/5) /RF resistance
The voltage applied to the VREF pin can be switched to any of the four setting levels depending on the statuses of the
two inputs, ATT1 and ATT2.

The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is
given below.
Ilimit = (VREF/5) × (attenuation ratio) /RF resistance
Example : At VREF of 1.5V, a reference voltage setting of 100% [(ATT1, ATT2) = (L, L)] and an RF resistance of
0.3, the output current is set as shown below.
Ilimit = 1.5V/5 × 100%/0.3 = 1.0A
If, in this state, (ATT1, ATT2) has been set to (H, H), Ilimit will be as follows :
Ilimit = 1.0A × 20% = 200mA

4. Output short-circuit protection function
This IC incorporates an output short-circuit protection circuit that, when the output has been shorted by an event such
as shorting to power or shorting to ground, sets the output to the standby mode and turns on the warning output in
order to prevent the IC from being damaged. In the stepper motor driver (STM) mode (DM = Low), this function sets
the output to the standby mode for both channels by detecting the short-circuiting in one of the channels. In the DC
motor driver mode (DM = High), channels 1 and 2 operate independently. (Even if the output of channel 1 has been
short-circuited, channel 2 will operate normally.)
4-1) Output short-circuit protection mode switching function
Output short-circuit protection mode of IC can be switched by the setting of EMM pin.
EMM
State
Low or Open
Latch method
High
Auto reset method
4-2) Latch type
In the latch mode, when the output current exceeds the detection current level, the output is turned OFF, and this state
is held.
The detection of the output short-circuited state by the IC causes the output short-circuit protection circuit to be
activated.
When the short-circuited state continues for the period of time set using the internal timer (approximately 2s), the
output in which the short-circuiting has been detected is first set to OFF. After this, the output is set to ON again as
soon as the timer latch time (Tcem) described later has been exceeded, and if the short-circuited state is still detected,
all the outputs of the channel concerned are switched to the standby mode, and this state is held.
This state is released by setting ST to low.
www.onsemi.com
22
LV8774Q
4-3) Auto reset type
In the automatic reset mode, when the output current exceeds the detection current level, the output waveform
changes to the switching waveform.
As with the latch system, when the output short-circuited state is detected, the short-circuit protection circuit is
activated. When the operation of the short-circuit detection circuit exceeds the timer latch time (Tcem) described later,
the output is changed over to the standby mode and is reset to the ON mode again in 2ms (typ). In this event, if the
over current mode still continues, the switching mode described above is repeated until the over current mode is
canceled.
4-4) Unusual condition warning output pins (EMO, MONI)
The LV8774 is provided with the EMO pin which notifies the CPU if the protection circuit detects an unusual
condition of the IC. This pin is of the open-drain output type and when an unusual condition is detected, the EMO
output is placed in the ON (EMO = Low) state.
In the DC motor driver mode (DM = High), the MONI pin also functions as a warning output pin.
The functions of the EMO pin and MONI pin change function as shown below depending on the state of the DM pin.
When the DM is low (STM mode) :
EMO : Unusual condition warning output pin
MONI : Excitation initial position detection monitoring
When the DM is high (DCM) mode) :
EMO : Channel 1 warning output pin
MONI : Channel 2 warning output pin
The EMO (MONI) pin is also placed in the ON state when one of the following conditions occurs.
1. Shorting-to-power, shorting-to-ground, or shorting-to-load occurs at the output pin and the output short-circuit
protection circuit is activated.
2. The IC junction temperature rises and the thermal protection circuit is activated.

4-5) Timer latch time (Tcem)
The time taken for the output to be set to OFF when the output has been short-circuited can be set using capacitor
Ccem, connected between the CEM pin and GND. The value of capacitor Ccem is determined by the formula given
below.
Timer latch : Tcem
5.
Tcem  Ccem  Vtcem/Icem [sec]
Vtcem : Comparator threshold voltage, typ 1V
Icem : CEM pin charge current, typ 10A
Thermal shutdown function
The thermal shutdown circuit is included, and the output is turned off when junction temperature Tj exceeds 180°C
and the abnormal state warning output is turned on at the same time.
When the temperature falls below the hysteresis level, output is driven again (automatic restoration)
The thermal shutdown circuit doesn’t guarantee protection of the set and the destruction prevention of IC, as it
operates at a temperature that is higher than the rating (Tjmax=150°C) of the junction temperature
TTSD = 180°C (typ)
ΔTSD = 40°C (typ)

6. Charge Pump Circuit
When the ST pin is set High, the charge pump circuit operates and the VG pin voltage is boosted from the VM voltage
to the VM + VREG5 voltage.
If the VG pin voltage is not boosted to VM+4V or more, the output pin cannot be turned on. Therefore it is
recommended that the drive of motor is started after the time has passed tONG or more.
