Motor driver ICs Reversible motor driver BA6209 / BA6209N The BA6209 and BA6209N are reversible-motor drivers suitable for brush motors. Two logic inputs allow three output modes : forward, reverse, and braking. The motor revolving speed can be set arbitrarily by controlling the voltage applied to the motor with the control pin voltage VR. Applications VCRs and cassette tape recorders Features 1) Power transistors can handle a large current (1.6A maximally). 2) Brake is applied when stopping the motor. 3) Built-in function to absorb rush currents generated by reversing and braking. 4) Motor speed controlling pin. Block diagram 386 5) Small standby current. (VCC = 12V, IO = 5.5mA typically) 6) Stable operation during mode changes either from forward to reverse or vice versa. 7) Interface with CMOS devices.

(1) Forward / reverse control circuit When FIN is HIGH and RIN is LOW, current flows from OUT1 to OUT2. When FIN is LOW and RIN is HIGH, current flows from OUT2 to OUT1 (refer to the truth table). (2) Forced stop circuit By setting RIN and FIN both HIGH or both LOW, power supply to the motor is shut down and a brake is applied by absorbing the motor counter-electromotive force. Pin descriptions 390 (3) Rush current absorption circuit When a high voltage (caused by such as a motor reversal) is generated on OUT1 and OUT2, an internal comparator detects the high voltage and turns on an internal circuit that absorbs rush currents. (4) Drive circuit The forward direction of the motor connected between OUT1 and OUT2 corresponds to the current flow from OUT1 to OUT2, and the reverse direction corresponds to the current flow from OUT2 to OUT1. The output voltage (VOUT) applied to the motor is given by the equation : VOUT (V) = VZD VCE (sat.) = VZD 0.2 (IOUT = 100mA) where VZD is the zener voltage of the constant voltage diode (ZD) connected to pin 4. If Vref is left OPEN, the output voltage (VOUT) is given by the equation : VOUT (V) = VCC1 VCE (sat.) (PNP) 2VF VCE (sat.) = VCC1 1.8 (IOUT = 100mA) Motor driver ICs Operation notes (1) Resistor dividing IC power consumption To reduce power dissipated in the IC, a resistance (about 3X10Ω) must always be connected between VCC and the power supply pin of the driver circuit. If VCC2 is connected to VCC with no resistor, the IC can be damaged by overcurrent when operated at the voltage range close to the maximum operating voltage. (2) Control signal waveform The rise and fall times of signals applied to the control pins should be 5ms or less. Longer times can cause erratic operation of the internal logic circuits and may result in damage to the driver circuits. For example, if the supply voltage for the external control circuit comes up after the supply voltage of the IC, the rising edge of the control signal slowly follows the rise of the external supply voltage. This could result in erratic operation or damage to the IC due to excess currents. (3) IC ground voltage To provide separation between the circuit elements within the IC, the GND pin of the IC must always be held at a lower potential than the other pins. If the potential of the GND pin is allowed to rise above that of other pins (such as the control input pins), separation between the internal circuit elements could break down, resulting in erratic operation or internal damage. For example, a resistor may be connected between GND (pin 1) and the ground as shown in Fig. 19, when detecting and controlling the motor operating current. In this case, the potential of pin 1 would be above the ground potential by an amount equal to the voltage drop across the resistor. Therefore, dropping the input pin potential to the ground potential would have the effect of applying a negative voltage to the input pin. BA6209 / BA6209N This should be avoided by detecting the motor operating current in a way shown in Fig. 20. (4) Input pins Voltage should never be applied to the input pins when the VCC voltage is not applied to the IC. Similarly, when VCC is applied, the voltage on each input pin should be less than VCC and within the guaranteed range for the electrical characteristics. (5) Back-rush voltage Depending on the ambient conditions, environment, or motor characteristics, the back-rush voltage may fluctuate. Be sure to confirm that the back-rush voltage will not adversely affect the operation of the IC. (6) Large current line Large currents are carried by the motor power supply and motor ground for these ICs. Therefore, the layout of the pattern of the PC board and the constants of certain parameters for external components, such as the capacitor between the power supply and ground, may cause this large output current to flow back to the input pins, resulting in output oscillation or other malfunctions. To prevent this, make sure that the PC board layout and external circuit constants cause no problems with the characteristics of these ICs. (7) Power dissipation The power dissipation will fluctuate depending on the mounting conditions of the IC and the ambient environment. Make sure to carefully check the thermal design of the application where these ICs sill be used. (8) Power consumption The power consumption by the IC varies widely with the power supply voltage and the output current. Give full consideration to the power dissipation rating and the thermal resistance data and transient thermal resistance data, to provide a thermal design so that none of the ratings for the IC are exceeded. 391 Motor driver ICs (9) ASO Make sure that the output current and supply voltage do not exceed the ASO values. (10) Precautions for input mode switching To ensure reliability, it is recommended that the mode switching for the motor pass once through the open mode. (11) There are no circuits built into these ICs that prevent in-rush currents. Therefore, it is recommended to place a current limiting resistor or other physical countermeasure. (12) If the potential of the output pin sways greatly and goes below the potential of ground, the operation of the IC may malfunction or be adversely affected. In such a case, place a diode between the output and ground, or other measure, to prevent this. (13) The quality of these products have been carefully checked; however, use of the products with applied voltages, operating temperatures, or other parameters that exceed the absolute maximum rating given may result in the damage of the IC and the product it is used in. If the IC is damaged, the short mode and open modes cannot be specified, so if the IC is to be used in applications where parameters may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, then be sure to incorporate fuses, or other physical safety measures. 392 BA6209 / BA6209N Motor driver ICs BA6209 / BA6209N Application example External dimensions (Units: mm) 393
