C = 470pF − VO = 5V BA6438S Motor driver ICs !Circuit operation (1) Pseudo-linear output and torque ripple cancellation The IC generates a trapezoidal (pseudo-linear) output current, whose waveform phase is 30 degrees ahead of that of the Hall input voltage (Fig. 1). . 30° Hall input Output current A brake is applied to the motor as described in the following.When the motor is running, pin 17 is given a negative potential with respect to the reference potential. If the pin 17 potential becomes positive, the IC detects the rise of pin 17 potential above the reference potential and activates the motor direction detecting circuit. The motor direction detecting circuit sends a signal to the motor direction setting circuit to reverse the motor direction. This causes a braking torque that depends on the pin 17 potential, so that the motor quickly reduces its speed. At the same time, the positive pin 17 potential is shifted to the reference potential, so that the motor stops smoothly. Fig. 1 The trapezoidal waveform of output current would create intermittence in the magnetic field generated by the 3phase motor, and would result in an irregular rotation of the motor. To prevent this, the output waveform is obtained by superimposing a triangular wave on the trapezoidal wave (Fig. 2). This process is called torque ripple cancellation. (3) Output current sensing and torque limitation Pin 2 is the ground pin for the output stage. To sense the output current, a resistor (0.5Ω recommended) is connected between pin 2 and the ground. The output current is sensed by applying the voltage developed across this resistor to pin 22 as a feedback. The output current can be limited by adjusting the voltage applied to pin 20. The current is limited when pin 20 reaches the same potential as pin 22. The output current (IMAX. ) under this condition is given by: IMAX.= V20P(TL−CSofs) R2P Fig. 2 (2) Torque control and reversal brake The output current can be controlled by adjusting the voltage applied to the torque control pins (pins 16 and 17). where R2P is the value of the resistor connected between pin 2 and the ground, V20P is the voltage applied to pin 20, and (TL–CSofs ) is the offset between the TL and CS pins. VM 24pin These pins are the inputs to a differential amplifier. A reference voltage between 2.3 ~ 3.0V (2.5V recommended) is applied to pin 16.

Operating the transistors in the linear characteristic range provides good control over a wide range of current and good torque characteristics even during overloading. 800mA HIGH level output voltage 0 Output current Output saturation voltage 1.5V HIGH level voltage LOW level output voltage Fig.5 High level output voltage vs. output current (reference curves) 0 LOW level voltage 1.3V Output saturation voltage ATC-pin voltage Output current 800mA Fig.6 Low level output voltage vs. output current (reference curves) (6) Switching regulator The BA6438S has a switching regulator output pin. The IC outputs a PWM signal by comparing the output of the internal oscillator with the HIGH level output voltage monitored. VM 24 + Driver (4) Motor direction control (pin 11) The motor mode is : Forward when the pin 11 voltage is less than 0.9V, Stop when the voltage is between 1.3 ~ 3.0V, Reverse when the voltage is above 3.5V. In the stop mode, high-and low-side output transistors are turned off, resulting in a high impedance state. HIGH level voltage monitor 13 REG Oscillator 15 OSC 14 VS Fig. 7 As shown in Fig. 7, the switch regulator circuit reduces the power consumed by the IC by reducing the collector-toemitter (C-E) voltage of the driver transistors. Nearly all the power dissipated by the IC is dissipated between the collectors and emitters of the output transistors. More power is consumed as the C-E voltage increases and as the output current increases. The output transistor C-E voltage is equal to the difference between the supply voltage and the voltage applied to the motor. Because the voltage across the motor decreases with decreasing drive current, the C-E voltage must increase if the supply voltage is fixed. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of the driver and to prevent the power rating of the IC being exceeded, the supply voltage must be varied in response to changes in the output current. The supply voltage is decreased at low current and increased at high current so that no excessive voltage is applied between the transistor collectors and emitters . (7) Output-to-ground short-circuit detection The motor output pins of the IC may be short-circuited to the ground by some fault conditions. A short-circuited output can destroy the output transistors because of excessive current, excessive voltage, or both. Even when a short-circuit condition does not completely destroy the device, it can still cause extreme overheating. To prevent this, the BA6438S contains a short-circuit detection circuit that turns off the motor drive current if the output-to-ground potential becomes abnormally low.

The typical shutdown temperatures are 175°C for TSD1 and 215°C for TSD 2. When the TSD1 is activated at an elevated chip temperature, the output pins (pins 1, 3, and 23) are set to the open state. TSD1 is functional against excessive power dissipation, output short-circuiting, and other irregularities in the output current, but does not work against overheating caused by high internal currents due to externally caused IC damage or pin-to-pin short-circuiting. When TSD2 is activated at a higher chip temperature, the high-and low-side output transistors are turned on, and the internal resistance between the motor power supply pin (pin 24) and the output ground pin (pin 2) drops to less than 3Ω. The motor power supply current (IM) is then given by VM[V] IM= RM+R2P+3[Ω] where IM is the motor supply current, VM is the motor supply voltage, RM is the motor power supply output resistance, R2P is the pin-2 resistance. In your application, make sure to connect between the motor power supply and pin 24 a circuit breaker that operates at currents less than IM .
