Therefore, the current does not flow into power supply even if power supply (VM) is turned off while power is impressed to the input pin. (1) Chip enables function ST pin switches the IC between standby and operating mode. In standby mode, the IC is set to power-save mode and all the logic is reset. In addition, the internal regulator circuit and charge pump circuit do not operate during standby mode.

Based on the voltage input to the VREF pin and the resistance connected between RF and GND, the output current that is subject to the constant-current control is set using the calculation formula below: IOUT = (VREF/5) /RF resistance * The above setting is the output current at I01 (02) =High, I11 (12) =High. If VREF is open or the setting is out of the recommendation operating range, output current will increase and you cannot set constant current under normal condition. Hence, make sure that VREF is set in accordance with the specification. However, if current control is not performed (if the IC is used by saturation drive) make sure that the setting is as follows: VREF=5V or VREF=VREG5. Power dissipation of RF resistor is obtained as follows: Pd=Iout2×RF. Make sure to take allowable power dissipation into consideration when you select RF resistor. The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is given below. IOUT = (VREF/5) /RF resistance × (attenuation ratio) Example: When VREF=1.5V, I01 (02) =High, I11 (12) =Low and RF1 (2) resistance is 0.47Ω, the setting current is shown below. IOUT = (1.5V / 5) / 0.47Ω × 100% = 0.64A 8/23 LV8771VH Application Note (4) Chopping frequency setting FC Chopping frequency Low 31kHz High 62kHz The higher the chopping frequency is, the greater the output switching loss becomes. As a result, heat generation issue arises. The lower the chopping frequency is, the lesser the heat generation becomes. However, current ripple occurs. Since noise increases when switching of chopping takes place, you need to adjust frequency with the influence to the other devices into consideration. 10µs/div Motor Current 0.2A/div 32us 10µs/div VM=24V VREF=1.5V RF=0.47Ω 16us OUT1A 20V/div OUT1B 20V/div FC=”L” FC=”H” Figure 11. Chopping frequency waveform (5) Blanking period When performing PWM constant-current chopping control over the motor current, if the mode is switched from decay to charge, the recovery current of the parasitic diode may flow to the current sensing resistance, which causes noise to affect current sensing resistance pin. This may result in erroneous detection. To prevent such erroneous detection, a blanking period is created to prevent the reception of noise that occurs during mode switching. During this period, the mode is not switched from charge to decay even if the noise is carried to the current sensing resistance pin. The blanking time is fixed to approximately 1μs. 9/23 LV8771VH Application Note (6) Typical current waveform in each micro-step mode Full step (CW mode) Figure 12.

Current waveform of Quarter step 11/23 LV8771VH Application Note (7) Current control operation specification (Sine wave increasing direction) (Sine wave decreasing direction) Figure 16. Current control operation In each current mode, the operation sequence is as described below: • At the rise of chopping frequency, the CHARGE mode begins. (In the time defined as the “blanking time,” the CHARGE mode is forced regardless of the magnitude of the coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF).) • The coil current (ICOIL) and set current (IREF) are compared during this blanking time. Where ICOIL < IREF; The CHARGE mode up to ICOIL ≥ IREF, then followed by changeover to the SLOW DECAY mode, and finally by the FAST DECAY mode for approximately 1μs. Where ICOIL < IREF; The FAST DECAY mode begins. The coil current is attenuated in the FAST DECAY mode till one cycle of chopping is over. Above operations are repeated. Normally, the SLOW (+FAST) DECAY mode continues in the Triangle wave increasing direction, then entering the FAST DECAY mode till the current is attenuated to the set level and followed by the SLOW DECAY mode. 12/23 LV8771VH Application Note (8) Output transistor operation mode Charge increases current.

Switching operation This IC controls constant current by performing chopping to output transistor. As shown above, by repeating the process from 1 to 6, setting current is maintained. Chopping consists of 3 modes: Charge/ Slow decay/ Fast decay. In this IC, for switching mode (No.2, 4, 6), there are “off period” in upper and lower transistor to prevent crossover current between the transistors. This off period is set to be constant (≈ 0.375μs) which is controlled by the internal logic. The diagrams show parasitic diode generated due to structure of MOS transistor. When the transistor is off, output current is regenerated through this parasitic diode.

Motor current switches from Slow Decay mode to Fast Decay mode for last 1us of one chopping cycle. 14/23 LV8771VH Application Note Charge Pump Circuit When the ST pin is set high, the charge pump circuit operates and the VG pin voltage is boosted from the VM voltage to the VM + VREG5 voltage. Because the output is not turned on if VM+4V or more is not pressured, the voltage of the VG pin recommends the drive of the motor to put the time of tONG or more, and to begin. ST VG pin voltage VM+VREG5 VM+4V VM tONG Figure 20. VG pin voltage schematic view VG voltage is used to drive upper output FET and VREG5 voltage is used to drive lower output FET. Since VG voltage is equivalent to the addition of VM and VREG5 voltage, VG capacitor should allow higher voltage. The capacitor between CP1 and CP2 is used to boost charge pump. Since CP1 oscillates with 0V↔VREG5 and CP2 with VM↔VM+VREG5, make sure to allow enough capacitance between CP1 and CP2. Since the capacitance is variable depends on motor types and driving methods, please check with your application before you define constant to avoid ripple on VG voltage.

As the temperature falls by hysteresis, the output turned on again (automatic restoration). The thermal shutdown circuit does not guarantee the protection of the final product because it operates when the temperature exceed the junction temperature of Tjmax=150°C.

(2) Maximum value 80% or less for the current rating.

Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation. 9 Caution is required for supply voltage because this IC performs switching. 9 The bypass capacitor of the power supply should be close to the IC as much as possible to stabilize voltage. Also if you intend to use high current or back EMF is high, please augment enough capacitance. ●GND terminal [GND, PGND1, PGND2] 9 Since GND is the reference of the IC internal operation, make sure to connect to stable and the lowest possible potential. Since high current flows into PGND1, PGND2, connect it to one-point GND. ●Internal power supply regulator terminal [VREG5] 9 VREG5 is the power supply for logic (typ 5V). 9 When VM supply is powered and ST is ”H”, VREG5 operates. 9 Please connect capacitor for stabilize VREG5. The recommendation value is 0.1μF. 9 Since the voltage of VREG5 fluctuates, do not use it as reference voltage that requires accuracy. ●Input terminal 9 When you set input pin to low voltage, please short it to GND because the input pin is vulnerable to noise. 9 The input is TTL level (H: 2V or higher, L: 0.8V or lower). 9 VREF pin is high impedance. ●OUT terminal [OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B] 9 During chopping operation, the output voltage becomes equivalent to VM voltage, which can be the cause of noise. Caution is required for the pattern layout of output pin. 9 The layout should be low impedance because driving current of motor flows into the output pin. 9 Output voltage may boost due to back EMF. Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the absolute MAX ratings under no circumstance. Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation. ●Current sense resistor connection terminal [RF1, RF2] 9 To perform constant current control, please connect resistor to RF pin. 9 To perform saturation drive (without constant current control), please connect RF pin to GND. 9 If RF pin is open, then short protector circuit operates. Therefore, please connect it to resistor or GND. 9 The motor current flows into RF – GND line. Therefore, please connect it to common GND line and low impedance line. ●NC terminal 9 NC pin is not connected to the IC. 22/23 LV8771VH Application Note ON Semiconductor and the ON logo are registered trademarks of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (SCILLC).
