Full speed No.8336-5/15 LB8500M Supplementary Operational Descriptions The LB8500M accepts a duty pulse input and an FG signal from the driver IC, and generates the driver IC control voltage so that the FG period (motor speed) becomes proportional to the control voltage. Driver IC LB8500M FGIN CTL signal FG CTL Closed feedback loop EO VTH As shown in the figure below, the LB8500M generates a pulse signal from edges on the FG signal and then generates a pulse width waveform determined by the RC time constant in a one-shot multivibrator. The LB8500M then integrates that pulse waveform to create the output driver IC control voltage (a DC voltage). FG EDGE pulse Slope due to the RC time constant RC pin One-shot multivibrator TRC(s) = 0.85RC It is also possible to change the slope of the VCTL/speed relationship as shown in the speed control diagram in the previous section by changing the pulse width with the RC time constant. Note, however, that since pulses determined by this RC time constant are used, variation in the RC components will appear as speed control errors. No.8336-6/15 LB8500M Pin Setting Procedures (Provided for reference purposes) 1. RC pin The one-shot multivibrator pulse width can be calculated with the following equation. TRC(s) ≈ 0.85 × R × C..................................................... Equation 1 If the FG signal frequency at full motor speed is fFG (Hz) and the control duty desired for full speed is DUTY (for example: 50% → 0.5), the values of the resistor and capacitor connected to the RC pin can be determined from the following equation. R × C = DUTY/(3 × 0.85 × fFG) ..................................... Equation 2 Note that if "rpm" is the full motor speed, since one revolution will be two FG periods, the following equation gives the FG frequency, fFG (Hz). fFG(Hz) = 2rpm/60 ......................................................... Equation 3 For reference purposes, the following table lists the RC pin external component values determined from equations 2 and 3 when the control duty at full speed will be 80% for a variety of full motor speed values. Note that the capacitor value must be in the range 0.01µF to 0.015µF due to the RC pin discharge capacity of the IC. Full motor speed R×C R C 10000rpm 0.94 × 10-3 63kΩ 0.015μF 8000rpm 1.18 × 10-3 78kΩ 0.015μF 6000rpm 1.57 × 10-3 105kΩ 0.015μF 4000rpm 2.39 × 10-3 157kΩ 0.015μF 2000rpm 4.68 × 10-3 312kΩ 0.015μF The table below lists the RC pin external component values when the control duty for full motor speed is changed for a full motor speed of 10,000rpm. Duty at full speed R×C R C 80% (= 0.8) 0.94 × 10-3 94kΩ 0.01μF 60% (= 0.6) 0.71 × 10-3 71kΩ 0.01μF 40% (= 0.4) 0.47 × 10-3 47kΩ 0.01μF Also, note that the FG frequency can be determined from the following equation for various control duty input states. fFG = DUTY/(3 × 0.85 × RC).......................................... Equation 4 2. C Pin Since a capacitor that can smooth the pin voltage is connected to the C pin, if the CTL pin input signal frequency is f (Hz), then the capacitor must meet the following condition. (Here, R is the IC internal resistance of 180kΩ (typical).) 1/f = t < RC Note that the larger the capacitor, the longer the soft start time will be and its response to changes in the input signal will be slower. 6VREG A capacitor that can smooth the pin voltage is connected here. 1/f = t < CR CTL pin input inverted waveform (the frequency is the same) C pin 180kΩ CTL pin CTL circuit VREF circuit No.8336-7/15 LB8500M 3. LIM pin The LIM pin external component values can be derived as follows for the case where a motor whose maximum speed of 10,000rpm is to be achieved with an 80% duty, and a minimum speed of 3000rpm is to be set. Ra = minimum speed/full speed = 3000/10,000 = 0.3 Full-speed duty × Ra = 0.8 × 0.3 = 0.24 LIM pin voltage = 6 - (4 × 0.24) ≈ 5V From the above, the required LIM pin voltage is about 5V. To generate this 5V level by resistor dividing the 6 V regulator level, the resistor ratio will be 1:5, and the resistors connected to the LIM pin will have the following values.

However, since the LB11660FV PWM low-level voltage is lower than the LB8500M amplifier output low-level voltage, it must be resistor divided.
