Therefore, the current turns to the power supply even if power supply (VM) is turned off with the voltage impressed to the input pin and there is not crowding. (1) Chip enables function This IC is switched between standby and operating mode by setting the ST pin. In standby mode, the IC is set to power-save mode and all logic is reset. In addition, the internal regulator circuit and charge pump circuit do not operate in standby mode. ST Mode Internal regulator Charge pump Low or Open Standby mode Standby Standby High Operating mode Operating Operating STM mode (1) STEP pin function STEP input advances electrical angle at every rising edge (advances step by step). Input Operating mode ST STEP Low * Standby mode High Excitation step proceeds High Excitation step is kept STEP input MIN pulse width (common in H/L): 500ns (MAX input frequency: 1MHz) However, constant current control is performed by PWM during chopping period, which is set by the capacitor connected between CHOP and GND. You need to perform chopping more than once per step. For this reason, for the actual STEP frequency, you need to take chopping frequency and chopping count into consideration. For example, if chopping frequency is 50kHz (20μs) and chopping is performed twice per step, the maximum STEP frequency is obtained as follows: f = 1/(20μs×2) = 25kHz.

Input timing chart 11/33 LV8772 Application Note (3) Position detection monitoring function The MONI position detection monitoring pin is of an open drain type. When the excitation position is in the initial position, the MONI output is placed in the ON state. (Refer to "Examples of current waveforms in each of the excitation modes.") (4) Setting constant-current control reference current This IC is designed to automatically exercise PWM constant-current chopping control for the motor current by setting the output current. 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 100% of each excitation mode. 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 voltage input to the VREF pin can be switched to four-step settings depending on the statuses of the two inputs, ATT1 and ATT2. This is effective for reducing power consumption when motor holding current is supplied.

Attenuation operation The formula used to calculate the output current when using the function for attenuating the VREF input voltage is given below. IOUT = (VREF/5) × (attenuation ratio) /RF resistance Example: At VREF of 1.0V, a reference voltage setting of 100% [(ATT1, ATT2) = (L, L)] and an RF resistance of 0.5Ω, the output current is set as shown below. IOUT = 1.0V/5 × 100%/0.22Ω = 0.91A If, in this state, (ATT1, ATT2) is set to (H, H), IOUT will be as follows: IOUT =0.91A × 50% = 455mA In this way, the output current is attenuated when the motor holding current is supplied so that power can be conserved. 12/33 LV8772 Application Note (5) Reset function RST Operating mode Low Normal operation High Reset state RST RESET STEP MONI 1ch output 0% 2ch output Initial state Figure 14. Reset operation When the RST pin is set to High, the excitation position of the output is forcibly set to the initial state, and the MONI output is placed in the ON state. When RST is then set to Low, the excitation position is advanced by the next STEP input.

FR operation The internal D/A converter proceeds by one bit at the rising edge of the input STEP pulse. In addition, CW and CCW mode are switched by setting the FR pin. In CW mode, the channel 2 current phase is delayed by 90° relative to the channel 1 current. In CCW mode, the channel 2 current phase is advanced by 90° relative to the channel 1 current. 13/33 LV8772 Application Note (7) Chopping frequency setting For constant-current control, this IC performs chopping operations at the frequency determined by the capacitor (Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND. The chopping frequency is set as shown below by the capacitor (Cchop) connected between the CHOP pin and GND. Fchop = Ichop/ (Cchop × Vtchop × 2) (Hz) Ichop: Capacitor charge/discharge current, typ 10μA Vtchop: Charge/discharge hysteresis voltage (Vtup-Vtdown), typ 0.5V For instance, when Cchop is 200pF, the chopping frequency will be as follows: Fchop = 10μA/ (180pF × 0.5V × 2) = 55 kHz 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. The frequency range should be between 40kHz and 125kHz. (8) Blanking period If, when exercising PWM constant-current chopping control over the motor current, the mode is switched from decay to charge, the recovery current of the parasitic diode may flow to the current sensing resistance, causing noise to be carried on the current sensing resistance pin, and this may result in erroneous detection. To prevent this erroneous detection, a blanking period is provided to prevent the noise occurring during mode switching from being received. During this period, the mode is not switched from charge to decay even if noise is carried on the current sensing resistance pin. The blanking time is fixed at approximately 1μs. 14/33 LV8772 Application Note (9) Output current vector locus (one step is normalized to 90 degrees) 100.0 θ0 θ1 θ8' (2-phase) θ2 θ3 θ4 θ5 θ6 Channel 1 phase current ratio (%) θ7 θ8 66.7 θ9 θ 10 θ 11 θ 12 33.3 θ 13 θ 14 θ 15 θ 16 0.0 0.0 33.3 66.7 100.0 Channel 2 current ratio (%) Figure 16.

Current control operation In each current mode, the operation sequence is as described below: • At 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 in this blanking time. When (ICOIL < IREF) state exists; 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. When (ICOIL < IREF) state does not exist; 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. 19/33 LV8772 Application Note (14) 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.

This function sets the output to the standby mode for both channels by detecting the short-circuiting in one of the channels.

If the voltage between D and S of Tr1 exceeds the reference voltage for 2μs, short status is detected. (right schematic) 1. Without going through RF resistor, current control does not operate and current will continue to increase in CHARGE mode. 2. If the voltage between D and S of Tr1 exceeds the reference voltage for 2μs, short status is detected. 1. Without L load, high current flows. 2. If RF voltage> setting voltage, then the mode switches to SLOW decay. 3. During load short stay in SLOW decay mode, current does not flow and over current state is not detected. Then the mode is switched to FAST decay according to chopping cycle. 4. Since FAST state is short (≈1μs), switches to CHARGE mode before short is detected. 5. If voltage between D and S exceeds the reference voltage continuously during blanking time at the start of CHARGE mode (Tr1), CHARGE state is fixed (even if RF voltage exceeds the setting voltage, the mode is not switched to SLOW decay). After 2us or so, short is detected. 22/33 LV8772 Application Note (2) Output short-circuit protection detect current (Reference value) Short protector operates when abnormal current flows into the output transistor.

Detect current vs temperature 23/33 LV8772 Application Note (3) Output short-circuit protection type The output short-circuit protection type of LV8772 is the latch type to turn off when the output current exceeds the detection current and the state is maintained. The output short-circuit protection circuit is activated in an event of short-circuit in the output pin. When the short-circuit state continues for a period of time set by the internal timer (approximately 4us), the output in which short-circuit was first detected are switched to the standby mode. And if the short-circuit state is still detected, all the outputs of the channel are switched to the standby mode, and the state is held. This state is released by setting ST to low. 4 Figure 26. Timing chart in latch type (4) Unusual condition warning output pins (EMO) This IC is provided with the EMO pin which notifies the CPU of an unusual condition if the protection circuit operates by detecting an unusual condition of the IC. This pin is of the open-drain output type and when an unusual condition is detected, the EMO output is placed in the ON (EMO = Low) state. Furthermore, the EMO pin is placed in the ON state when one of the following conditions occurs. 1. Shorting-to-power, shorting-to-ground, or shorting-to-load occurs at the output pin and the output short-circuit protection circuit is activated. 2. The IC junction temperature rises and the thermal protection circuit is activated. 24/33 LV8772 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 27. 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.

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, PGND] 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 PGND, 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. 32/33 LV8772 Application Note ON Semiconductor and the ON logo are registered trademarks of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC (SCILLC).
