(3) Blanking period
If, when exercising PWM constant-current chopping control over the motor current, the mode is switched
from decay to charge, the recovery current of the parasitic diode may flow to the current sensing resistance,
causing noise to be carried on the current sensing resistance pin, and this may result in erroneous
detection. To prevent this erroneous detection, a blanking period is provided to prevent the noise occurring
during mode switching from being received. During this period, the mode is not switched from charge to
decay even if noise is carried on the current sensing resistance pin.
This IC is the blanking time is fixed at approximately 2μs.
(4) 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 10μA
Vtchop: Charge/discharge hysteresis voltage (Vtup-Vtdown), typ 0.5V
For instance, when Cchop is 220pF, the chopping frequency will be as follows:
Fchop = 10μA/ (220pF × 0.5V × 2) = 45.4 kHz
The higher the chopping frequency is, the greater the output switching loss becomes. As a result, heat
generation issue arises. The lower the chopping frequency is, the lesser the heat generation becomes.
However, current ripple occurs. Since noise increases when switching of chopping takes place, you need to
adjust frequency with the influence to the other devices into consideration. The frequency range should be
between 40 kHz and 125 kHz.

LV8773 Application Note
(5) Setting constant-current control
When the current of the motor reaches up to a set current by setting the output current, this IC does the
short brake control by the automatic operation so that the current should not increase more than it.

Chopping cycle

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.
Make sure to avoid using LV8773 with setting VREF open or out of the recommendation operating range.
Such usage causes increased output current; therefore, you cannot set optimum constant current. If you do
not perform current control (i.e. using LV8773 without setting saturation drive or current limit), set the
voltages as follows: VREF=5V or VREF=VREG5
Since power dissipation of RF resistor is Pd=Iout2 x RF, make sure to take allowable power dissipation into
consideration.
The voltage input to the VREF pin can be switched to two-step settings depending on the statuses of the
ATT.
Attenuation function for VREF input voltage
ATT
Current setting reference voltage attenuation ratio
Low
100%
High
50%
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% (ATT = L) and an RF resistance of 0.3Ω,
the output current is set as shown below.
IOUT = 1.5V/5 × 100%/0.3Ω = 1.0A
If, in this state, ATT = H will be as follows:
IOUT = 1.0A × 50% = 500mA
In this way, the output current is attenuated when the motor holding current is supplied so that
power can be conserved.

Figure 15. Switching operation
This IC controls constant current by performing chopping to output transistor.
As shown above, by repeating the process from 1 to 3, setting current is maintained.
Chopping consists of 2 modes: Charge/ Slow decay. In this IC, for switching mode (No.2), there are “off
period” in upper and lower transistor to prevent crossover current between the transistors. This off period is
set to be constant (≈ 0.375μs) which is controlled by the internal logic. The diagrams show parasitic diode
generated due to structure of MOS transistor. When the transistor is off, output current is regenerated
through this parasitic diode.

You can perform H-Bridge direct PWM control to DC11, DC12, DC21, and DC22 by inputting PWM signal.
The maximum frequency of PWM signal is 200 kHz. However, dead zone is generated when On-Duty is
around 0%. Make sure to select optimum PWM frequency according to the target control range.

(9) 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 channels 1 and 2 operate
independently. (Even if the output of channel 1 has been short-circuited, channel 2 will operate normally.)
(9-1) Output short-circuit detection operation

ON.
2. If RF voltage> setting voltage, then the
mode switches to SLOW decay.

current control does not operate and
current will continue to increase in

2. If the voltage between D and S of Tr1
exceeds the reference voltage for 2μs,
short status is detected.
1. Without L load, high current flows.
2. If RF voltage> setting voltage, then the
mode switches to SLOW decay.
3. During load short stay in SLOW decay
mode, current does not flow and over
current state is not detected. Then the
mode is switched to FAST decay
according to chopping cycle.
4. Since FAST state is short (≈1μs),
switches to CHARGE mode before short
is detected.
5. If voltage between D and S exceeds
the reference voltage continuously
during blanking time at the start of
CHARGE mode (Tr1), CHARGE state is
fixed (even if RF voltage exceeds the
setting voltage, the mode is not
switched to SLOW decay). After 2us or
so, short is detected.

(9-4) 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-circuits protection circuit
to be activated.
When the short-circuited state continues for the period of time set using the internal timer (approximately
2μs), 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.

(9-5) 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.
18/30
LV8773 Application Note
(9-6) 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.
Tcem ≈ Ccem × Vtcem/Icem [sec]
Vtcem: Comparator threshold voltage, typ 1V
Icem: CEM pin charge current, typ 10μA
Timer latch: Tcem
When you do not connect CEM capacitor (CEM=open) and short state continues for 2us, output turns OFF.
Standby mode is set if short state continues even after the output is turn ON again.

(9-7) Unusual condition warning output pins (EMO1, EMO2)
The LV8773 is provided with the EMO pin which notifies the CPU of an unusual condition if the protection
circuit operates by detecting 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.
The EMO1 pin and the EMO2 pin output unusual condition on 2ch side/ 1ch side respectively.
Furthermore, the EMO (EMO2) pin is 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.

(10) 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.
Begin the drive of the motor after the time of tONG or more because it doesn't turn on the output if the
voltage of the VG pin is not pressured to VM+4V or more.

VG Pin Voltage Schematic View
VG voltage is used to drive upper output FET and VREG5 voltage is used to drive lower output FET.
Since VGvoltage is equivalent to the addition of VM and VREG5 voltage, VG capacitor should allow higher
voltage.
The capacitor between CP1 and CP2 is used to boost charge pump. Since CP1 oscillates with 0V↔VREG5
and CP2 with VM↔VM + VREG5, make sure to allow enough capacitance between CP1 and CP2.
Since the capacitance is variable depends on motor types and driving methods, please check with your
application before you define constant to avoid ripple on VGvoltage.

exceeds 180°C and the abnormal state warning output is turned on. As the temperature falls by hysteresis,
the output turned on again (automatic restoration).
The thermal shutdown circuit does not guarantee the protection of the final product because it operates
when the temperature exceed the junction temperature of Tjmax=150°C.
TSD = 180°C (typ)
ΔTSD = 40°C (typ)

Application Circuit Example
• Stepping motor driver circuit
The formulae for setting the constants in the examples of the application circuits above are as follows:
Constant current (100%) setting
When VREF = 1.5V
IOUT = VREF/5/RF resistance
= 1.5V/5/0.3Ω = 1.0A
Chopping frequency setting
Fchop = Ichop/ (Cchop × Vtchop × 2)
= 10μA/ (220pF × 0.5V × 2) = 45.4 kHz
Timer latch time when the output is short-circuited
Tcem = Ccem × Vtcem/Icem
= 100pF × 1V/10μA = 10μs

LV8773 Application Note
Warning:
●Power supply connection terminal [VM, VM1, VM2]
9 Make sure to short-circuit VM, VM1 and VM2.For controller supply voltage, the internal regulator voltage
of VREG5 (typ 5V) is used.
9 Make sure that supply voltage does not exceed the absolute MAX ratings under no circumstance.
Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation.
9 Caution is required for supply voltage because this IC performs switching.
9 The bypass capacitor of the power supply should be close to the IC as much as possible to stabilize
voltage. Also if you intend to use high current or back EMF is high, please augment enough capacitance.
●GND terminal [GND, PGND]
9 Since GND is the reference of the IC internal operation, make sure to connect to stable and the lowest
possible potential. Since high current flows into PGND, connect it to one-point GND.
●Internal power supply regulator terminal [VREG5]
9 VREG5 is the power supply for logic (typ 5V).
9 When VM supply is powered and ST is”H”, VREG5 operates.
9 Please connect capacitor for stabilize VREG5. The recommendation value is 0.1uF.
9 Since the voltage of VREG5 fluctuates, do not use it as reference voltage that requires accuracy.
●Input terminal
9 The logic input pin incorporates pull-down resistor (100kΩ).
9 When you set input pin to low voltage, please short it to GND because the input pin is vulnerable to noise.
9 The input is TTL level (H: 2V or higher, L: 0.8V or lower).
9 VREF pin is high impedance.
●OUT terminal [OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B]
9 During chopping operation, the output voltage becomes equivalent to VM voltage, which can be the cause
of noise. Caution is required for the pattern layout of output pin.
9 The layout should be low impedance because driving current of motor flows into the output pin.
9 Output voltage may boost due to back EMF. Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the absolute
MAX ratings under no circumstance. Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation.
●Current sense resistor connection terminal [RF1, RF2]
9 To perform constant current control, please connect resistor to RF pin.
9 To perform saturation drive (without constant current control), please connect RF pin to GND.
9 If RF pin is open, then short protector circuit operates. Therefore, please connect it to resistor or GND.
9 The motor current flows into RF – GND line. Therefore, please connect it to common GND line and low
impedance line.
