2. Protective Operation Alert Output (ALERT)
The ALERT pin behaves as an open-drain output and provides a high-impedance state on output being
pulled up by a resistor externally wired.
The output is Low when the TB6569FG performs a normal operation (in which state the operational mode is
selectable through the IN1 pin and IN2 pin among CW, CCW, Short Brake and Stop modes.).
In any other cases (in which state the thermal shutdown circuit (TSD), overcurrent shutdown circuit (ISD),
overvoltage shutdown circuit (VSD) and/or undervoltage lockout (UVLO) is activated), the output is High.
Driving both the IN1 pin and IN2 pin Low allows a release of the shutdown operations; the TB6569FG
resumes the normal operations.

6. Overcurrent Shutdown Circuit (ISD)
The TB6569FG incorporates overcurrent shutdown (ISD) circuits monitoring the current that flows through
each of all the four output power transistors.
The detection time threshold is programmable through the VISD pin with a pull-up resistor. If the
overcurrent flowing through any one of the ISD circuit flows beyond the detected time threshold, all the
outputs are turned off (Hi-Z).
The detection time threshold is controllable through the external resistor of the TISD pin.
Driving both the IN1 pin and IN2 pin Low allows a release of the shutdown operations; the TB6569FG
resumes the normal operation.

7. Direct PWM Control
The motor rotation speed is controllable by the PWM input sent through the PWM pin.
It is also possible to control the motor rotation speed by sending in the PWM signal through not the PWM
pin but the IN1 and IN2 pins.
When the motor drive is controlled by the PWM input, the TB6569FG repeats operating in Normal
Operation mode and Short Brake mode alternately.
For preventing the shoot-through current in the output circuit caused by the upper and lower power
transistors being turned on simultaneously, the dead time is internally generated at the time the upper and
lower power transistors switches between on and off.
This eliminates the need of inserting Off time externally; thus the PWM control with synchronous
rectification is enabled.
Note that inserting Off time externally is not required on operation mode changes between CW and CCW,
and CW (CCW) and Short Brake, again, because of the dead time generated internally.

9. PWM Constant-Current Control
The TB6569FG uses a peak current detection technique to keep the output current constant by applying
constant voltage through the VREF pin. When running in Discharge mode, the TB6569FG powers the motor
to operate in Short Brake mode.
(1)
PWM constant-current control programming
The peak current upon the constant-current operation is determined by applying voltage on the VREF
pin. The peak current value is calculated by the following equation:
IO = VREF/R × 1/10 [A]
The PWM current-constant frequency is also programmable by using the capacitor of the OSC pin. The
oscillation frequency is approximated by using the following equation:
fosc = 0.42/(Cosc [F] × 103) = [Hz] (typ.)
For preventing the overvoltage on connecting a detection resistor, the RSGND pin is driven High (the
outputs are turned off (Hi-Z)) when the applied voltage is over 0.4 V (typ.). The subsequent control of
the RSGND is the same as the ISD circuit. The ALERT pin is also driven High. However, when the IN1
and IN2 pins are pulled Low, the ALERT pin is pulled Low and the TB6569FG resumes the normal
operation.
It is recommended to use a detection resistor of over 0.1 Ω for the RSGND pin.

Operation on change of predetermined current value (when in Discharge mode)
The TB6569FG enters Discharge mode as VRSGND reaches the predetermined voltage (VREF/10) and
then transits to Charge mode after four internal clocks. However, if VRSGND > VREF/10 at the time,
the TB6569FG goes back to Discharge mode. If VRSGND > VREF/10 after another four internal clocks,
then the TB6569FG enters Charge mode and stays until VRSGND reaches VREF/10.

Due to the peak current detection technique, the average current value of the constant-current
operation shall be smaller than the predetermined value. Because this depends on characteristics of
used motor coils, precise identification of the used motor coils must be performed when determining
the current value.
When both the PWM constant-current control and the direct PWM control (applying the PWM input
on the PWM pin, or on the IN1 and IN2 pins), Short Brake mode is preferentially selected.

IC Usage Considerations
Notes on Handling of ICs
(1)
The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of ratings that must not be
exceeded, even for a moment. Do not exceed any of these ratings.
Exceeding the rating(s) may cause the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result
injury by explosion or combustion.
(2)
Use an appropriate power supply fuse to ensure that a large current does not continuously flow in case
of over current and/or IC failure. The IC will fully break down when used under conditions that exceed
its absolute maximum ratings, when the wiring is routed improperly or when an abnormal pulse noise
occurs from the wiring or load, causing a large current to continuously flow and the breakdown can
lead smoke or ignition. To minimize the effects of the flow of a large current in case of breakdown,
appropriate settings, such as fuse capacity, fusing time and insertion circuit location, are required.
(3)
If your design includes an inductive load such as a motor coil, incorporate a protection circuit into the
design to prevent device malfunction or breakdown caused by the current resulting from the inrush
current at power ON or the negative current resulting from the back electromotive force at power OFF.
IC breakdown may cause injury, smoke or ignition.
Use a stable power supply with ICs with built-in protection functions. If the power supply is unstable,
the protection function may not operate, causing IC breakdown. IC breakdown may cause injury,
smoke or ignition.
(4)
Do not insert devices in the wrong orientation or incorrectly.
Make sure that the positive and negative terminals of power supplies are connected properly.
Otherwise, the current or power consumption may exceed the absolute maximum rating, and
exceeding the rating(s) may cause the device breakdown, damage or deterioration, and may result
injury by explosion or combustion.
In addition, do not use any device that is applied the current with inserting in the wrong orientation or
incorrectly even just one time.

TB6569FG
Points to Remember on Handling of ICs
(1)
Over Current Protection Circuit
Over current protection circuits (referred to as current limiter circuits) do not necessarily protect ICs
under all circumstances. If the Over current protection circuits operate against the over current, clear
the over current status immediately.
Depending on the method of use and usage conditions, such as exceeding absolute maximum ratings
can cause the over current protection circuit to not operate properly or IC breakdown before operation.
In addition, depending on the method of use and usage conditions, if over current continues to flow for
a long time after operation, the IC may generate heat resulting in breakdown.
(2)
Thermal Shutdown Circuit
Thermal shutdown circuits do not necessarily protect ICs under all circumstances. If the thermal
shutdown circuits operate against the over temperature, clear the heat generation status immediately.
Depending on the method of use and usage conditions, such as exceeding absolute maximum ratings
can cause the thermal shutdown circuit to not operate properly or IC breakdown before operation.
(3)
Heat Radiation Design
In using an IC with large current flow such as power amp, regulator or driver, please design the device
so that heat is appropriately radiated, not to exceed the specified junction temperature (Tj) at any time
and condition. These ICs generate heat even during normal use. An inadequate IC heat radiation
design can lead to decrease in IC life, deterioration of IC characteristics or IC breakdown. In addition,
please design the device taking into considerate the effect of IC heat radiation with peripheral
components.
(4)
Back-EMF
When a motor rotates in the reverse direction, stops or slows down abruptly, a current flow
back to the motor’s power supply due to the effect of back-EMF. If the current sink capability
of the power supply is small, the device’s motor power supply and output pins might be
exposed to conditions beyond maximum ratings. To avoid this problem, take the effect of
back-EMF into consideration in system design.
