Circuit operation
(1) Hall input output
The 3-phase Hall signal is amplified in the hall amplifiers
and sent to the matrix section, where the signal is further
amplified and combined. After the signal is converted to
a current in the amplitude control circuit, the current is
supplied to the output driver, which then provides a motor
drive current. The phases of the Hall input signal, output
voltage, and output current are shown in Fig. 5.
(2) Torque control pin
The RNF-pin current depends on the torque control input
voltage (EC) as shown in Fig. 6.
(3) Start / stop pin
The motor is in the run mode when the pin input voltage
is 3.5V or more, and in the idle mode (all output transistors are off) when the voltage is 1.5V or less.
(4) Power ground pin (RNF pin)
The RNF pin is the output stage ground pin. Connect a resistor (0.5Ω recommended) between this pin and the
ground to monitor the output current.
(5) Phase compensation pin (CNF pin)
Connect and adjust a capacitor between this pin and the
ground if the output tends to oscillate.

FOperation notes
(1) Start / stop
The I / O equivalent circuit of the start / stop pin is shown
in Fig. 7. The pin has a temperature dependence of
*7mV / _C, and the resistance can vary ±30%. Take the
temperature effect into consideration when designing
your application.
(2) Hall input
The Hall input equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 12. The
Hall devices can be connected in either series or parallel.
(3) Thermal shutdown circuit (TSD)
The circuit puts the coil outputs (A1, A2, and A3) to the
open state at the temperature of 175_C (typical). There
is a temperature difference of about 15_C between the
temperatures at which the circuit is activated and deactivated.
