BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR CONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LS7560/LS7561 are CMOS integrated circuits designed to
control three or four phase brushless DC motors in a closed or
open loop configuration. The IC consists of a decoder which
provides proper commutation sequencing, a frequency-topulse width converter and error amplifier for closed loop motor
speed control, a PWM comparator and sawtooth oscillator for
external driver power control and a 5.5V reference generator
for supplying power to motor sensors. Also included is Fault
detection and indication, overcurrent sensing, dynamic motor
braking, forward/reverse input, sensor spacing selections and
an enable input control. The overcurrent sense condition will
disable all output drivers when using the LS7560 and only the
bottom drivers when using the LS7561.
The IC operates from 10V to 18V and provides CMOS compatible outputs for interfacing with external power devices.
Operating below 10V will activate a Fault Indication Output
and disable all Output Drivers.
INPUT/OUTPUT DESCRIPTION: (See Figure 2)
SEQUENCE SELECT Input (Pin 1 )
A High on this input selects 60°/300° and a Low selects 120°/
240° electrical sensor separation. Use of a 300° or 240° motor
will cause opposite direction rotation as compared to a 60° or
120° motor.
F/R Input (Pin 27)
A High on this input selects Forward direction and a Low selects Reverse direction. The motor drive outputs are disabled
for 2 clock cycles at the onset of a direction change.

S1, S2, S3 Inputs (Pins 24, 25, 26)
Hall Sensor inputs which are decoded to determine the Motor
Commutation Sequence. An invalid input code disables all motor
outputs. Inputs have Schmitt Trigger buffers for noise immunity.
BRAKE Input (Pin 23)
With the BRAKE SELECT input Low, a High on the BRAKE input
forces the Top Drivers to an OFF condition and the Bottom Drivers
to a PWM ON condition. If the Motor is under Closed Loop control,
the Loop is automatically opened and the error amplifier output is
connected to the Error Amp (-) input. By controlling the voltage at
teh Error Amp (+) input, the PWM duty cycle is controlled during
braking. This manner of braking prevents the Bottom Motor Drivers
from drawing excessive current, a condition which can occur during
normal braking, when the Bottom Drivers are turned ON unconditionally. With the BRAKE SELECT input High, a High on the
BRAKE input unconditionally causes the Top Drivers to turn OFF
and the Bottom Drivers to turn ON. The BRAKE function has priority over all other functions.
BRAKE SELECT Input (Pin 22)
A Low on this input selects PWM control of braking and a High selects unconditional braking.
ENABLE Input (Pin 2)
When the ENABLE input is above VR/2, all Output Drivers are enabled and when it is below VR/2.2, all Output Drivers are disabled.
This input has a nominal hysteresis of .05V R, where VR is the internally generated Reference Voltage available on Pin 19. Because
the ENABLE input is level sensitive, it can easily be used to control
operation of the IC based on an Analog Fault Condition.
ERROR AMPLIFIER Inputs (Pins 6, 7 ) Output (Pin 8)
For closed loop control, the TACHOMETER Output is applied
through a resistor to the negative input of the Error Amplifier on
Pin 7. A speed control potentiometer is connected to the positive
input of the Error Amplifier on Pin 6. A parallel RC Network is connected between the Output of the Error Amplifier on Pin 8 and Pin
7. The Amplifier, configured this way, enables the variable pulse
width to be converted to a DC voltage which is used to control the
motor speed. The potentiometer is used to set the desired motor
speed. For open loop control, configure the Error Amplifier as a
voltage follower by connecting Pin 7 directly to Pin 8 and do not
connect the TACHOMETER Output signal to the Error Amplifier.
OSCILLATOR (Pin 9)
An external RC network is connected to this input to set the frequency of the Sawtooth Schmitt Trigger Oscillator. The Sawtooth
is applied to the PWM Comparator along with the output of the Error Amplifier. The output of the PWM Comparator is a Pulse
Width Modulated Signal which is used to vary the effective drive
to the motor and, hence, the motor speed.
OVERCURRENT SENSE (Pins 10, 11)
The input to Pin 10 comes from the high side of a fractional ohm
current sensing resistor. The voltage at this input is compared to
an internal 100mV Reference. When the voltage exceeds the
100mV Reference, an Overcurrent Condition exists and the Output Drivers are switched OFF until the end of the sawtooth oscillator ramp-up. When the sawtooth switches low, the Overcurrent Condition is sampled, and if it no longer exists, the Output
Drivers are switched ON again. Otherwise, the Output Drivers remain OFF until the end of the next sawtooth. The input to Pin 11
comes from the low side (Gnd) of the current sensing resistor and
connects to the low side of the internal 100mV Reference.
TOP DRIVER POLARITY SELECT Input (Pin 20)
A High on this input selects a High Polarity for the Top Output
Drivers Motor ON condition and a Low selects a Low Polarity.
OUTPUT DRIVERS (Pins 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
Each Driver Output provides a CMOS compatible signal for driving Buffers/Power Transistors. The Outputs are capable of sinking/sourcing 25mA with a 1.5V drop across the IC, at VDD = 12V.
PWM CONTROL Input (Pin 21)
A High on this input causes only the Bottom Drivers to be Pulse
Width Modulated. A Low on this input causes both Top and Bottom Drivers to have PWM.
TACHOMETER Output (Pin 5)
The output of the Frequency To Pulse Width Converter is tied to
this pin. The Converter uses the three SENSOR Inputs and external RC Network to generate a variable frequency output with a
fixed positive pulse width.
FAULT INDICATOR Output (Pin 3)
Open drain output to provide sinking current for driving an external device such as an LED to indicate a malfunction condition.
The output occurs under any of the following conditions:
1) Overcurrent Sense condition
2) ENABLE Input below VR/2.2
3) Invalid Sensor code
4) Chip power supply less than 9V
5) VR Output less than 4.1V
RC Input (Pin 4)
The external RC network connected to this input programs the
positive pulse width of the Frequency to Pulse Width Converter.
VR Output (Pin 19)
5.5V Reference Voltage Output that can supply 20mA of current
at VDD =12V for powering input Sensors.
VSS (Pin 18)
VSS is Supply Voltage negative terminal.
VDD (Pin 28)
VDD is Supply Voltage positive terminal.

FIGURE 3. The closed loop motor control operation is achieved
by applying the
Tachometer
Output at Pin 5 into the negative
terminal of the Error Amplifier
(Pin 7) through an R1-C1-R2 integrating network. The R1-C1
network is configured as a feedback circuit around the amplifier.
Since the Tachometer Output
has a fixed positive pulse width,
the average value of the pulse
train is directly proportional to
the motor speed. The desired
speed is selected by applying a
voltage at the positive input
(Pin 6) of the Error Amplifier.
The resultant output voltage of
the Error Amplifier is applied to
an internal Comparator along
with a ramp waveform generated by the RC Network at Pin
9. The PWM signal at the Comparator output is used to drive
outputs 1 thru 6 and complete
the closed loop. For this configuration, Pin 20, the Top Driver
Polarity Select must be tied to
Ground.

FOUR PHASE FULL WAVE MOTOR CONTROLLER
FIGURE 6. Four phase motor control requires only two Hall Sensor inputs spaced 90 electrical
degrees apart. S1 is connected to one sensor and S2 and S3 are tied together and connected to
the other sensor (Refer to Table 1). The BRAKE input (Pin 23) is used to control the Top Driver
Select (Pin 20) and the Top Motor Drivers. When the BRAKE input is applied, the Top Motor drivers are turned off and the Top Driver Polarity Select is forced low turning on the Outputs 1 and 3.
Since Outputs 4 and 6 are also turned on, the motor windings become shorted together.

NOTE 1: SEQUENCE Input (Pin 1) set at a Logic 1.
NOTE 2: This Table assumes theTOP DRIVER POLARITY SELECT (Pin 20) = Logic 1. For Pin 20 = Logic 0, invert the
polarity of the top drivers.
NOTE 3: For the LS7561, the OVERCURRENT SENSE = Logic 1 only forces the bottom drivers to a Logic 0. It has no
effect on the Top Driver Outputs which are determined by the other inputs as shown on the table.
