[Connection of power supply and GND] GND is connected to the power supply line of control circuit. *2. [Power supply stabilizer capacitor] The power supply stabilizer capacitor needs to be 4.7µA or higher. Connect VCC and GND as wide and short as possible. If the supply voltage increases due to the kickback of coil as a result of using reverse connection protector diode, make sure to connect Zener diode between the power supply and GND. LV8806QA uses synchronous rectification for high efficiency drive. Synchronous rectification is effective for heat reduction and higher efficiency. However, it may increase supply voltage under the following conditions: *When output duty is reduced rapidly. *PWM input frequency is low. If the supply voltage shall increase, make sure that it does not exceed the maximum ratings with the following measures: *Select an optimal capacitor between power supply and GND. *Insert a zener diode between power supply and GND. *3. [COMIN and FIL] COMIN and FIL are the filter capacitor connection pins. LV8806QA detects the position of rotor using BEMF signal generated during motor rotation. Based on the information, current-carrying timing of the output is determined. By inserting a filter capacitor of about 1000 to 10000pF (recommendation) between COMIN and FIL, start-up failure caused by noise is alleviated. However, if the capacitance is too high, timing of current-carrying for output may be delayed during high-speed rotation and efficiency may be degraded. Make sure that the filter capacitor is connected between COMIN and FIL as short as possible to avoid influence of noise. *4. [OSC] Capacitor connection pin for setting boot frequency. Make sure to connect a capacitor of 500pF to 2200pF (recommendation) between this pin and GND. The capacitor is required to determine boot frequency to start motor. How to define capacitance: The capacitance should allow the shortest boot time for the target rotation count and less variation. The higher the capacitance is, the more likely the variation occurs in boot time. On the other hand, the lower the capacitance is, the more likely an idling occurs. Since an optimum value for OSC pin constant varies depends on motor characteristics and boot current, make sure to confirm the constant when motor or circuit specification are changed. 8/20 LV8806QA Application Note *5. [RF] Current limit setting pin. When a pin voltage exceeds 0.265V, current limiter operates and the mode shifts to regeneration mode. The calculation formula is as follows. RF resistance value = 0.265V / desired current limit value *6. [Pin protection resistor] It is recommended that resistors higher than 1kΩ are connected serially to protect pins against misconnection such as GND open and reverse connection. *7. [Resistor for pseudo midpoint] Delta connector motor does not have midpoint. Therefore, we need to create a pseudo midpoint by external resistor. Please note that the amplitude of BEMF signal generated during motor rotation varies depends on motor types. Some motors require the external pseudo midpoint and others do not. *8. [FG, RD pull-up resistor] Since FG and RD are open-drain output, make sure to use pull-up resistors. It is recommended that the pull-up resistor is approximately 10kΩ. 9/20 LV8806QA Application Note 1. Operation overview LV8806 is a PWM three-phase sensorless motor driver. In the sensorless drive, the timing of motor commutation switch is determined by comparing the back EMF (BEMF) generated by the motor and the voltage of CON pin or Motor Neutral. After power activation, supplying a PWM signal to the PWMIN pin will enable output voltage to the motor coil. ・The FG signal is proportional to motor rotation and can be used for velocity control. ・RD Output is fixed high when motor is locked up and it is fixed low while motor is rotating. ・Speed of motor rotation is controlled by changing PWM signal frequency on the PWMIN pin.

PWM area UOUT 2V/div 1ms/div There are soft switching zones and PWM zones in UOUT signal. 11/20 LV8806QA Application Note 2. Sensor less control LV8806 is a sensorless motor driver which detects the back EMF (BEMF) signal during motor rotation to detect rotor position. According to the detected rotor position, a specified output transistor turns on or off, which enables motor rotation. When starting up a motor, it is impossible to detect the rotor position at very low RPM as the BEMF signal amplitude is too low. Therefore the motor starts by cycling the output with a fixed frequency determined by a capacitor between the OSC pin and GND in startup mode. After startup, a rotor position is detected by the back EMF signal and the controller will transition into a drive mode.

(Refer to “Start up pin setting”) 12/20 LV8806QA Application Note 3. Startup pin setup In order to adjust startup characteristics of the motor, it is necessary to set OSC pin (OSC-GND capacitor) and COMIN pin FIL pin (COMIN-FIL capacitor) with optimal capacitances. The best capacitance depends on motor type and condition (power supply, coil current, number of rotation). Hence be sure to make an adjustment for each motor type. 3.1 OSC-GND capacitance setup (Recommendation value 470pF - 2200pF) Startup frequency is defined by OSC capacitance. The formula for obtaining OSC frequency is as follows. Fosc = Toscc = Toscd = 1 Toscc+Toscd (Vosch-Voscl)×Cosc Ioscc (Vosch-Voscl)×Cosc Ioscd OSC pin frequency:Fosc OSC capacitor charge time:Toscc OSC capacitor discharge time:Toscd OSC capacitance:Cosc OSC pin high-level voltage:Vosch=1.1V(TYP) OSC pin low-level voltage:Voscl=0.6V(TYP) OSC pin charge current:Ioscc OSC pin discharge current:Ioscd I In general a low capacitance tends to be used if the motor runs at a high speed and a higher capacitance is used if the motor runs at lower speeds. Use a lower capacitance when: ・Startup is slow and fails. ・Startup time varies widely.

The optimum OSC constant depends on the motor characteristics and startup current, so be sure to recheck them when either motor or circuit specifications are changed. (* Refer to “3 Beat lock”) 3.2 COMIN-FIL capacitance setup (Recommendation value: 1000pF ~ 10nF) Compare the back EMF signal from motor and the voltage of CON pin (motor neutral) to detect the rotor position. The timing of motor commutation is determined by the detected rotor position. Insert a filter capacitor between the COMIN pin and FIL pin to prevent startup failure caused by noise. ●When a capacitance is high and: ・The commutation time is slow during motor rotation. Driving efficiency falls. 1ms/div The width of this zone fluctuates. UOUT [V] Repeat The waveform of motor current is distorted. IOUT [A] Fig. normal waveform Fig. waveform when FIL-COMIN capacitance is too large. ◎If such behavior is witnessed, use a lower capacitor. ●When a capacitance is low and: ・Beat lock* occurs. ◎If such behavior is witnessed, use a higher capacitor. A capacitor is selected by checking the intended motor type. Run the motor to see whether there is any issue with startup. (* Refer to 3.3 Beat lock on next page.) 14/20 LV8806QA Application Note 3.3 Beat lock Beat lock may occur when a motor is stopped abruptly during motor operation or OSC capacitor is too low. Output waveform under the influence of beat lock is as shown below. 2ms/div 500us/div FG 5V/div FG 5V/div IOUT 0.5A/div UOUT 5V/div IOUT 0.5A/div UOUT 5V/div Beat lock Motor stop Fig. The beat lock caused by a motor quick stop Fig. The beat lock weave form. {Behavior} ・There is intense switching sound from transistor and then the motor stops. ・Waveform of OUT pin and FG pin shows the influence of noise. ・Motor cannot restart automatically after motor rotation stops. Countermeasures: 1) False detection of the internal comparator is prevented by adjusting a capacitor between COMIN and FIL. Basically, the number of false detections by the internal comparator decreases with a higher capacitor between COMIN and FIL. However, care must be taken since excessively high capacitance will give rise to deterioration in efficiency and delays in the output power-on timing when the motor is intended to run at high speed. 2) Increase the OSC capacitance. By doing so, OSC frequency decreases, which prevents false detection by the internal comparator due to delay in the output power-on timing. Consequently, beat lock is prevented. If motor type is changed, test the motor startup behavior again. 15/20 LV8806QA Application Note 4. input signal condition of PWM pin LV8806 is a direct PWM signal input system for speed control. Recommendation Condition High-level input voltage : 5 [V] Low-level input voltage : 0 [V] PWM frequency range : 20k-50k [Hz] *Caution: The minimum pulse width of PWM signal is 0.2u [sec](= duty of 1% at 50k [Hz]) 5. Other protection circuits 5.1 Current limier Current limiter is configured by adjusting the resistance between RF and GND. When the pin voltage exceeds 0.265V, the current is limited, and regeneration mode is set. In the application circuit, the current limit setting voltage is 0.265V; therefore the current limit operates at 1A. The calculation formula is given below. (RF resistance) = 0.265V / (target current limit value) Current limit driving OUT 5V/div FG 5V/div IOUT 0.2A/div Red-circled IOUT is the current limited area. 5.2 Thermal protection circuit LV8806 integrates thermal protection circuit.
