Application Note
Overview
The LB1848MC is a 2-channel low-voltage, low saturation voltage type bidirectional motor driver IC that is
optimal for use as 2-phase stepping motor driver in printers, floppy disk drives, cameras and other portable
equipments. The output circuits are of the bipolar type, with pnp transistors in the upper side and npn
transistors in the lower side, and they achieve low saturation output and low power characteristics despite
being provided in a miniature package.
The LB1848MC can directly control a motor from signals from a microcontroller. The LB1848M is optimal for
2-phase excitation drive for 2-phase stepping motors using 3-input logic (ENA, IN1, and IN2).
The LB1848MC has a built-in thermal shutdown circuit to protect itself from operating at exceedingly high
temperature even if the IC outputs are shorted. Additionally, the MFP-10S miniature package used supports
reduced-space mounting.
Function
 Optimal for 2 phase excitation drive for 2-phase stepping motor
 Low saturation voltage. VO(sat) = 0.55 V typical at IO = 400 mA
 Standby current: zero
 Thermal shutdown circuit
 Miniature package: MFP-10S (6.5 x 5.1 mm2)
 Through-current prevention circuit
 “Soft off” function that reduces power supply line noise when switching from drive to standby modes.
(Requires the use of one external capacitor.)
 No limitations on the magnitude relationship between the power supply voltage (VCC) and the input voltage
(VIN)
Typical Applications
 Blu-ray pickup lens
 CCTV
 POS printer
 Security camera
 DSC

Block Diagram
Note: When the “soft off” function is used, a capacitor must be connected to the SOF pin. If this function is not used, this pin must be left open with absolutely
no signals or lines connected.
Notes on Wiring and Lines
Since large currents flow in the VCC and ground lines, oscillations may occur on these lines. The following
points should be observed if such oscillations occur.
(1) Lower the line impedances by making them shorter and thicker.
(2) Attach capacitors close to the IC.
(3) If the controller (CPU) is mounted on a separate printed circuit board, insert series resistors (of about
10kohm) between the controller outputs and this IC.

Caution 1) Absolute maximum ratings represent the value which cannot be exceeded for any length of time.
Caution 2) Even when the device is used within the range of absolute maximum ratings, as a result of continuous usage
under high temperature, high current, high voltage, or drastic temperature change, the reliability of the IC may
be degraded. Please contact us for the further details.
Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating

SOF Pin (“Soft Off” Function) Operation
The soft off function reduces power supply line noise due to the kickback current generated when the
stepping motor drive mode is switched from drive to standby. The “soft off” function provided by this IC
operates when a capacitor (0.001 to 0.01 μF) is connected between the SOF pin and ground. (Leave the
SOF pin open to disable the soft off function.)
The waveforms for each pin are shown below.

Operation explanation

Overheating protection function (Thermal Shutdown circuit)
The device has a built-in overheating protection circuit that turns-off when the junction temperature (Tj)
exceeds 180C. Once the temperature decreases below 140C, the device is turned on again (automatic
restoration). The overheating protection circuit hysteresis is 40C.
The overheating protection circuit doesn't secure protection and the destruction prevention of the set
because it becomes operation by the area where ratings Tjmax = 150C of the junction temperature was
exceeded.
TSD = 180C (typ)
TSD = 40C (typ)
