4-channel BTL driver for CD players
BA6897S / BA6897FP
The BA6897S and BA6897FP are a 4-channel BTL driver for CD player motors and actuators. It has an internal 5V
regulator and standard operational amplifier, and is suited to a wide range of applications.

Circuit operation
(1) Driver
Inputs to the IC are the focus tracking error signal from
the servo preamplifier and the control signal from the motor.
(2) Regulator
This is a typical series regulator that generates a reference voltage internally. A PNP low saturation transistor
must be connected.
(3) Amplifier
General 4558 type.

BA6897S/BA6897FP
The input signals, which normally center on 2.5V, are V / I
converted by the preamplifier, generating a current corresponding to the input voltage. This current is passed
through a resistor and into the internal reference voltage
component, the preamplifier output being a signal centering on the internal reference voltage. Two systems
(positive phase and negative phase) are created during
V / I conversion, generating BTL output via the driver buffer.

Operation notes
(1) The BA6897S and BA6897FP have an internal
thermal shutdown circuit. Output current is muted when
the chip temperature exceeds 175C (typically).
(2) If the mute pin voltage is opened or lowered below
0.5V, the output current will be muted. The mute pin
should be pulled up above 2.0V during normal use.
(3) The bias pin is muted when lowered below 1.4V
(typically). Make sure it stays above 1.6V during normal
use.
(4) Muting occurs during thermal shutdown, mute-on
operations or a drop in the bias pin voltage or supply volt-

age. In each case, only the drivers are muted. During
muting, the output pins remain at the internal bias voltage, roughly (VCC–VF) / 2.
(5) Be sure to connect the IC to a 0.1µF bypass capacitor to the power supply, at the base of the IC.
(6) The radiating fin is connected to the packages internal GND, but should also be connected to an external
ground.
(7) The capacitor between regulator output (pin 6) and
GND also serves to prevent oscillation of the IC, so select
one with good temperature characteristics.
