NJM3771
DUAL STEPPER MOTOR DRIVER
■ GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NJM3771 is a stepper motor driver, which circuit is
especially developed for use in microstepping applications in
conjunction with the matching dual DAC (Digital-to-Analog
Converter) NJU39610.
The NJM3771 contains a clock oscillator, which is common
for both driver channels; a set of comparators and flip-flops
imple menting the switching control; and two H-bridges with
internal recirculation diodes. Voltage supply requirements are
+5 V for logic and +10 to +45 V for the motor. Maximum
output current is 650 mA per channel.

NJM3771
■ FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each channel of the NJM3771 consists of the following sections: an H-bridge output stage, capable of driving up
to 650 mA continuous motor current (or 500 mA, both channels driven), a logic section that controls the output
transistors, an S-R flip-flop, and two comparators. The oscillator is common to both channels.
Constant current control is achieved by switching the current to the windings. This is done by sensing the (peak)
voltage across a current-sensing resistor, RS, effectively connected in series with the motor winding, and feeding
that voltage back to a comparator. When the motor current reaches a threshold level, determined by the voltage at
the reference input, VR, the comparator resets the flip-flop, which turns off the output transistors. The current
decreases until the clock oscillator triggers the flip-flop, which turns on the output transistors again, and the cycle is
repeated.
The current-decay rate during the turn-off portion of the switching cycle, can be selected fast or slow by the CD
input.
In slow current-decay mode, only one of the lower transistors in the H-bridge (those closest to the negative
supply) is switched on and off, while one of the upper transistors is held constantly on. During turn-off, the current
recirculates through the upper transistor (which one depends on current direction) and the corresponding freewheeling diode connected to VMM, see figure 3.
In fast current decay mode, both the upper and lower transistors are switched. During the off-time, the freewheeling current is opposed by the supply voltage, causing a rapid discharge of energy in the winding.
Fast current decay may be required in half- and microstepping applications when rapid changes of motor current
are necessary. Slow current decay, however, gives less current ripple, and should always be selected, if possible,
to minimize core losses and switching noise.

■ APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Current control
The output current to the motor winding is mainly determined by the voltage at the reference input and the value of
the sensing resistor, RS.
Chopping frequency, winding inductance, and supply voltage will affect the current level, but to much less extent.
Fast current decay setting will produce somewhat lower (average) current than slow current decay. The peak
current through the sensing resistor (and motor winding) can be expressed as:
IM,peak = 0.18 • (VR / RS) [A]
i.e., with a recommended value of 1 ohm for the sensing resistor, RS, a 2.5 V reference voltage will produce an
output current of approximately 450 mA. To improve noise immunity on the VR input, the control range may be
increased to
5 volts if RS is correspondingly changed to 2 ohms.

External components
The voltage across the sensing resistor is fed back to the comparator via a low-pass filter section, to prevent
erroneous switching due to switching transients. The recommended filter component values, 1 kohm and 820 pF,
are suitable for a wide range of motors and operational conditions.
Since the low-pass filtering action introduces a small delay of the signal to the comparator, peak voltage across
the sensing resistor, and hence the peak motor current, will reach a slightly higher level than the threshold, VC, set
by the reference voltage
(VC = 450 mV @VR = 2.5 V).
The time constant of the low-pass filter may therefore be reduced to minimize the delay and optimize low-current
performance, especially if a low (12 V) supply voltage is used. Increasing the time constant may result in unstable
switching.
The frequency of the clock oscillator is set by the R-C combination at pin RC. The recommended values give a
nominal frequency of 26.5 kHz. A lower frequency will result in higher current ripple and may cause audible noise
from the motor, while increasing the frequency results in higher switching losses and possibly increased iron losses
in the motor.
The sensing resistor, RS, should be selected for maximum motor current. The relationship between peak motor
current, reference voltage and the value of RS is described under “Current control” above. Be sure not to exceed
the maximum output current which is 650 mA per channel (or 500 mA per channel, both channels fully on, see
“Recommended Operating Conditions”).
Motor selection
The NJM3771 is designed for bipolar motors, i.e., motors that have only one winding per phase. A unipolar motor,
having windings with a center tap, can also be used, see figure 8.
The chopping principle in the
NJM3771 is based on a constant frequency and a varying duty cycle. This
scheme imposes certain restrictions on motor selection. Unstable chopping can occur if the chopping duty cycle
exceeds approximately 50%. To avoid this, it is necessary to choose a motor with a low winding resistance. Low
winding resistance means less inductance and will therefore enable higher stepping rates, however it also means
less torque capability. A compromise has to be made.
Choose a motor with the lowest possible winding resistance that still gives the required torque and use as high
supply voltage as possible without exceeding the maximum recommended 40 V. Check that the chopping duty
cycle does not exceed 50% at maximum current.
Since the NJM3771 produces a regulated, constant output current it is not necessary to use a motor that is rated
at the same voltage as the actual supply voltage. Only rated current needs to be considered. Typical motors to be
used together with the NJM3771 have voltage ratings of 5 to 12 V, while the supply voltage usually ranges from 24
to 40 V.

General
Phase inputs
A logic HIGH on a Phase input gives positive current flowing out from MA into MB. A logic LOW gives a current in
the opposite direction.
Slow/fast current decay
A logic HIGH on the CD input gives slow current decay, a logic LOW gives fast current decay.
Heat sinking
Soldering the four center pins onto a free PCB copper area of 20 cm2 (approx. 1.8" x 1.8", copper foil thickness =
35 µm) permits the circuit to operate with a maximum of 320 mA output current, both channels driving, at ambient
temperatures up to +70°C. Consult figures 9 and 14 in order to determine the necessary copper area for heat
sinking if higher currents are required.
Thermal shutdown
The circuit is equipped with a thermal shutdown function that reduces the output current at chip temperatures
above +160°C.
