Monolithic Digital IC
LB1847
PWM Current Control Type
Stepping Motor Driver
Overview
The LB1847 is a driver IC for stepping motors with PWM current control bipolar drive (fixed OFF time). A special feature
of this IC is that VREF voltage is constant while the current can be set in 15 steps, allowing drive of motors ranging from
1-2 phase exciter types to 4W 1-2 phase exciter types. The current decay pattern can also be selected (SLOW DECAY,
FAST DECAY, MIX DECAY) to increase the decay of regenerative current at chopping OFF, thereby improving response
characteristics. This is especially useful for carriage and paper feed stepping motors in printers and similar applications
where high-precision control and low vibrations are required.
Features
• PWM current control (fixed OFF time)
• Load current digital selector (1-2, W1-2, 2W1-2, 4W1-2 phase exciter drive possible)
• Selectable current decay pattern (SLOW DECAY, FAST DECAY, MIX DECAY)
• Simultaneous ON prevention function (feed-through current prevention)
• Noise canceler
• Built-in thermal shutdown circuit
• Built-in logic low-voltage OFF circuit

Notes on Usage
1. External diodes
Because this IC uses upper-side transistor switching in SLOW DECAY mode and dual-side transistor switching in
FAST DECAY mode, it requires external diodes between the OUT pins and ground, for the regenerative current
during switching OFF. Use Schottky barrier diodes with low VF.
2. VREF pin
Because the VREF pin serves for input of the set current reference voltage, precautions against noise must be taken.
The input voltage range is 0 to 3.0V.
3. GND pin
The ground circuit for this IC must be designed so as to allow for high-current switching. Blocks where high current
flows must use low-impedance patterns and must be removed from small-signal lines. Especially the ground
connection for the sensing resistor RE at pin E, and the ground connection for the Schottky barrier diodes should be in
close proximity to the IC ground.
The capacitors between VCC and ground, and VBB and ground should be placed close to the VCC and VBB pins,
respectively.

5. Noise canceler
This IC has a noise canceling function to prevent malfunction due to noise spikes generated when switching ON. The
noise cancel time tn is determined by internal resistance of the CR pin and the constant of the externally connected CR
components. The constant also determines the switching OFF time.
Figure 1 shows the internal configuration at the CR pin, and Figure 2 the CR pin constant setting range.
Equation when logic voltage VCC = 5V
CR pin voltage E1 = VCC × R / (R1 + R2 + R) [V]
Noise cancel time tn ≈ (R1 + R2)× C × 1n {(E1 − 1.5) / (E1 − 4.0)} [s]
Switching OFF time toff ≈ –R × C × 1n (1.5 / E1) [s]
Internal resistance at CR pin : R1 = 1kΩ, R2 = 300Ω (typ.)
*The CR constant setting range in Figure 2 on page 15 is given for reference. It applies to a switching OFF time in the
range from 8 to 100µs. The switching time can also be made higher than 100 ms. However, a capacitor value of more
than several thousand pF will result in longer noise canceling time, which can cause the output current to become
higher than the set current. The longer switching OFF time results in higher output current ripple, causing a drop in
average current and rotation efficiency. When keeping the switching OFF time within 100 ms, it is recommended to
stay within the CR constant range shown in Figure 2.
