Three-Phase Brushless Motor Driver
Overview
The LB11873 is a 3-phase brushless motor driver developed for driving the polygonal mirror motor used in plain-paper
copiers and similar products. This IC can implement the circuits required for polygonal mirror motor drive (speed
control and driver circuits) in a single chip.
The LB11873 implements low-noise/low-vibration PWM drive by changing the current at phase switching gradually to
reduce motor noise.
Functions
• Three-phase bipolar drive (quiet direct PWM)
• PLL speed control circuit
• Hall sensor FG support
• Dedicated external clock
• Brake mode switching circuit (free running and reverse braking)
• Phase lock detection output (with masking function)
• Built-in current limiter, constraint protection, undervoltage protection, thermal protection, and CLK line
disconnection protection circuits

LB11873 Overview
1. Speed control circuit
Since the LB11873 adopts PLL speed control, it provides precise, low-jitter, and stable motor operation. This PLL
circuit compares the falling edge of the CLK signal with the FG signal (edges on which the IN1 input changes from low
to high and FGS output rising edges) and controls motor operation based on the difference.
During control operation, the FG servo frequency is the same as the CLK signal frequency.
fFG (servo) = fCLK
2. Output drive circuit
This IC minimizes motor vibration and noise by changing the output current smoothly during phase switching. Since
the change (slope) imposed on the output current during phase switching uses the slope of the Hall sensor input
waveform, the changes in the output waveforms at phase switching will become too steep if the Hall sensor input
waveform slope is steep. This will reduce the noise and vibration reducing effect of this technique. Thus care is
required concerning the slope of the Hall sensor input waveform.
Low side output transistor PWM switching is used for motor speed control and the drive output is adjusted by changing
the duty. The diode between OUT and VM used for the regenerative current when the PWM is off is built into this IC.
Due to the parasitic diode between OUT and ground, if reverse control mode (torque braking) is selected for braking, an
external Schottky barrier diode must be used. Also, if there are problems when the output current is large (for example,
incorrect operation or waveform disruption during low side kickback) a Schottky barrier diode must be connected
between OUT and ground.
Note that if it is necessary to reduce IC thermal dissipation during constant-speed operation, it may be effective to insert
a Schottky barrier diode between OUT and VM. This effect occurs because the regenerative current during PWM
switching will be dissipated in the external diode instead of the IC's internal diode.
3. Current limiter circuit
The current limiter circuit limits the drive current to a current determined by the equation I = VRF/RF, where VRF =
0.5V (typical) and Rf is the current detection resistor. The limiting operation works by reducing other output on duty to
suppress the drive current.
The current limiter circuit detects the reverse recovery current due to PWM operation and, to assure that the current
limiting operation is not performed incorrectly, provides a delay of about 2µs before it operates. Since the changes in
the current levels at startup (the state where there is no counterelectromotive force from the motor) will be rapid if
either the motor coil resistance is low or if the inductance is low, there are cases where current limiter will operates at a
current level above that set due to this delay. In these cases, it will be necessary to take the amount of current increase
due to the delay into account when setting the current limit value.
No.A0081-11/14
LB11873
4. Power saving circuit
This IC goes into a power saving state in which current drain is reduced when set to the stop state. This power saving
state is implemented by cutting the bias current to most of the circuits in the IC. The 5V regulator output, however, is
still output when the IC is in the power saving state.
5. Reference clock
Care must be taken to assure that no noise due to chattering or other problems appears on the externally input clock
signal. While the input circuit is designed with hysteresis, noise must be rejected by, for example, inserting capacitors
in the clock line if noise problems occur.
The LB11873 provides a built-in clock disconnection protection circuit. At clock frequencies lower than the frequency
determined by the following equation, the LB11873 will not perform its normal control operation, but rather will
operate in an intermittent mode.
f (Hz) ≈ 1.02 ÷ CCSD
CCSD (µF) : the capacitor connected between the CSD pin and ground.
If a 0.033µF capacitor is used, the frequency will be about 31Hz.
If the IC is set to the start state with absolutely no clock signal provided, the motor will first start to turn somewhat and
then the drive will be turned off.
If motor rotation stops, a time in excess of the constraint protection operating time elapses, and then the clock signal is
applied again, drive operation will not be restarted. However, if the clock signal is reapplied before the constraint
protection circuit operates, drive operation will restart.
6. PWM frequency
The PWM frequency is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor (C) connected to the PWM pin.
fPWM ≈ 1/(43000 × C)
If a 680pF capacitor is used, the circuit will oscillate at about 34kHz. If the PWM frequency is too low the motor will
emit switching noise, and if it is too high the power loss in the output will increase. A frequency in the range 15kHz to
50kHz is desirable. This capacitor must be connected between this pin and the GND pin by lines that are as short as
possible to make this circuit immune to noise.
The capacitor ground side must be connected as close as possible to the IC control block ground (the GND1 pin), to
minimize the influence of the output.
7. Hall sensor input signals
The Hall sensor input signals must have an amplitude (differential) of over 50mVpp. If disruption of the output
waveforms occurs due to noise on these signals, capacitors must be connected between the Hall sensor inputs (between
the + and - sides).
8. FCS pin
The capacitor (about 0.1µF) connected to the FC pin is required for correction of the control loop frequency
characteristics.
9. Constraint protection circuit
The LB11873 includes a built-in constraint protection circuit to protect the IC and the motor if the motor is physically
constrained from turning.
If FG signal (one side edge of IN1) does not switch states for a period in excess of a certain fixed time in the start state,
the PWM drive side output is turned off.
The time is set by the capacitor connected to the CSD pin.
Set time (seconds) ≈ 30.5 × 0.98 × CCSD (μF)
If a 0.033µF capacitor is used, the protection operation time will be about 0.99 seconds.
The constraint protection state can be cleared by either switching to the stop state (and remaining for over 100μs) or
turning the power off and then on again. Note that the constraint protection circuit may not operate correctly if there is
noise on the FG signal when the motor is physically constrained.

10. Phase lock signal
(1) Phase lock range
Since this IC does not have a speed system counter, the speed error range in the phase locked state cannot be
determined by the IC characteristics alone. (This is because the range is affected by the acceleration with changes in the
FG frequency.) If it is necessary to stipulate this in conjunction with a motor, it will be necessary to measure the range
with the actual motor state. Since speed errors occur easily in states where the FG acceleration is large, it is thought that
the lock pull-in time at startup and the unlock time due to clock switching will be the cases where the speed error is the
largest.
(2) Phase lock signal mask function
It is possible to assure that the lock signal is output in stable states by masking the short-term low levels due to hunting
during lock pull-in. Note, however, that the lock signal output will be delayed by the amount of the mask time.
The mask time is set by the capacitor connected between the CLD pin and ground.
Mask time (s) ≈ 6.5 × 0.98 × CCSD (μF)
When a 0.033µF capacitor is used, the mask time will be about 210ms. If full masking is required, the mask time must
be set with an adequate margin.
11. Initial reset
To apply an initial reset to the logic circuit, the IC goes to the reset state until the CSD pin voltage changes from 0V to
about 0.63V. After the reset is cleared, drive will start. The reset time can be calculated quite closely with the following
equation.
Reset time (s) ≈ 0.13 × CCSD (μF)
A reset time of over 100µs is required.
12. Power supply stabilization
Since this IC is used in switching drive applications with large output currents, the power supply line is easily
disrupted.
Therefore it is necessary to connect an adequately large capacitor between the VCC pin and ground.
The capacitor ground side is connected to the GND2 pin, which is the power system ground, and must be connected as
close as possible to the pin.
If the capacitor (an electrolytic capacitor) cannot be connected close to the pin, a ceramic capacitor of about 0.1µF must
be connected close to the pin.
If reverse control mode (torque braking) is selected for braking, since there will be states where the current returns to
the power supply, the power supply line level will be especially subject to disruption. Since the power supply line is
most easily disrupted during lock pull-in at high speeds, designers must analyze this case carefully and select an
adequately large capacitor.
Since the power supply line is particularly susceptible to disruption if a diode is inserted in the power supply line to
prevent destruction of the IC by reverse connection, an even larger capacitor must be selected in this case.
13. VREG stabilization
Connect a capacitor with a value over 0.1µF to stabilize the VREG voltage, which is the IC's control circuit power
supply. This capacitor's ground side must be connected as close as possible to the IC's control block ground (the GND1
pin).
14. Error amplifier system components
The external components for the error amplifier block must be located as close as possible to the IC to minimize the
influence of noise. These components must also be located as far from the motor as possible.
15. FRAME pin
An electrolytic capacitor must be connected between the FRAME pin and GND2 with the capacitor's ground side is
connected to GND2.
