(3) Current sensor Compares voltage converted from amperage by current sensing resistor to designated reference voltage level. When they are the same, comparator triggers Mono-stable, and shuts off output transistor during time frame tOFF. During this period, current level decreases to slightly below reference level. When period has passed, output transistor is reactivated. This series of operations is repeated. (4) Single-pulse generator Mono-stable is triggered at comparator output phase rise edge. Mono-stable output pulse width is determined by input to timing terminals RT and CT, as follows: tOFF = 0.69 × RT × CT If new trigger occurs during tOFF, it is ignored. (5) Analog control Stepless output current level variation is available by continuously changing voltage VR or feedback voltage to comparator.

(2) When IC total output current changes greatly, e.g. when output current flows intermittently due to thermal protection operation, supply voltage may fluctuate. Provide power supply and wiring such that even in such a case amperage will not exceed absolute maximum rating. (3) Excessive power voltage fluctuations may cause unstable IC operation. To regulate such fluctuations, connect capacitor between terminals VCC and GND as close to IC terminal as possible. (Refer to application example.) (4) Thermal protection function • Thermal protection characteristics may differ depending on wiring layout. Be sure to test IC on circuit board before use. After circuit board is replaced, test IC again. • Circuit boards on which this IC mounted are designed such that impedance between power supply and output terminal will be kept low; therefore, IC output terminal may be shortcircuited internally if excessive surge voltage is applied accidentally from outside. To prevent circuit board from burning in such a case, take safety measures such as installation of a fuse. (5) Flywheel diode This IC has built in flywheel diode to provide a return current route to motor. To prevent overheating and malfunction in operational areas where great current and voltage are applied, install a Schottky diode externally.
