LV8121V
Description of LV8121V
1. Motor Drive Output Circuit
The LV8121V provides a charge pump circuit and implements both upper side and lower side N-channel power FET
drive circuit. This IC employs the direct PWM drive technique. The motor speed is controlled by changing the output
duty according to an analog voltage input (CTL). The upper side N-channel power FET is switched so that the output
duty tracks the CTL voltage.
The PWM frequency is determined by the capacitor connected between the PWM pin and GND1.
When the PWM switching of the upper side N-channel power FET is off, the lower side N-channel power FET is
turned on (synchronous rectification). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the temperature increase of the lower side
N-channel power FET.
2. PWM Oscillator
The PWM frequency is set by the oscillation frequency of the PWM pin. When a capacitor C [F] is connected between
the PWM pin and GND1, the PWM frequency (fPWM) is calculated as follows.
fPWM = 1/(28900 × C)
When a 1800pF capacitor is connected, this frequency becomes about 19kHz.
By the variance of the IC, “28900” of the above formula has varied from 22400 to 36800.
If the PWM frequency is too high, since the switching power loss will be large, the IC temperature increase will be
excessive. The PWM frequency therefore should be normally kept below 50kHz, which is achieved with a capacitor C
of 1000pF or higher. The GND lead of the connected capacitor to the PWM pin should be connected as close as
possible to the GND1 pin.
3. Output Duty
The CTL voltage and the PWM oscillation waveform are compared to determine the output duty of the upper side
N-channel power FET.
If the LIM pin is not used (LIM=GND), the output duty becomes 0% when the CTL voltage is lower than about 1.3V
and 100% when it exceeds about 3.1V.
For the application that inputs a fixed voltage to the LIM pin, the LIM voltage and the PWM oscillation waveform are
compared to determine the minimum output duty. Accordingly, even if the CTL voltage is lower than the LIM voltage,
the output duty does not decrease below the minimum output duty.

CTL voltage
compared result

Upper side FET
(PWM)
OFF
ON
Lower side FET
(synchronous rectification)
OFF
If a minus voltage is applied to the CTL pin, this pin current must be limited within 2mA by inserting the resistor of
about 200Ω.
When the CTL pin is open, the output duty becomes 100%. Therefore, connect a pull-down resistor to prevent open.
If the output duty is fast reduced by dropping the CTL voltage quickly when the motor speed is changed from high to
low, since this IC employs the synchronous rectification, the lower side N-channel power FET can be the short brake
condition that turns on two phases. If the lower side N-channel power FET (synchronous rectification) is switched
from on to off while this condition, the motor current may flow on the power supply side, and the power supply
voltage may bounce. The bounce of the power supply voltage is different on the motor speed, the varied range of the
CTL voltage and the capacitance of the power supply line. Therefore, check sufficiently that the bounce of the power
supply voltage does not exceed the maximum rating when the CTL voltage is changed.

LV8121V
Continued from preceding page.
In case of limiting the bounce of the power supply voltage, the maximum voltage of
To VG
the VCC can be limited according to the following method. The maximum voltage of
160kΩ
5.1kΩ
the VG is limited by using Zener diode, NPN transistor and some resistors. Normally,
the relation between VG and VCC becomes “VG = VCC + 4.7V”. If VCC rises above
33kΩ
5.6V
“VG max - 4.7V” when VG is limited to VG max, this relation does not keep.
Zener
Because the sufficient gate voltage cannot be applied to the upper side N-channel
power FET when this relation does not keep, this IC includes the protective function
that turns off the upper side N-channel power FET.
Accordingly, if VCC rises above “VG max - 4.7V” when VG is limited to VG max, the upper side N-channel power
FET is turned off, and the VCC bounce caused by dropping the CTL voltage can be limited to
“VCC = VG max - 4.7V”. When the above reference circuit is used, VG is limited to about 36.7V, and VCC is limited
to about 32.0V. But this function does not guarantee that any VCC bounce can be limited. If VCC is steeply bounced
by dropping the CTL voltage, this function may not limit the VCC bounce.
4. Current Limiter Circuit
The current limiter circuit limits the output current peak to the value determined by “I = VRF/Rf” (VRF = 0.25V typ.,
Rf: current detection resistor). When the current limiter is operating, the upper side N-channel power FET is switched,
and the output current is suppressed by reducing the output duty.
5. Reference Oscillator
Connect a 56pF capacitor between CT and GND1, and a 11kΩ resistor between RT and CT. Then, the reference
oscillation frequency becomes about 2.1MHz. The reference oscillation frequency functions as a reference clock for
the internal logic circuit. The charge pump circuit boosts the voltage using a frequency that is 1/32 of the reference
oscillation frequency.
6. Start/Stop Switching Circuit
When the S/S pin is set to the low level, start/stop switching circuit is the start mode. Inversely, when the S/S pin is set
to the high level or open, start/stop switching circuit is the stop mode. This IC goes into a power saving state that
reduces the supply current at the stop mode. In the power saving state, the bias current is removed from most of the
circuits in the IC.
The operating circuits in the power saving state are limited to the start/stop switching circuit and the 5V constant
voltage output. The other circuits do not operate. Both upper side and lower side N-channel power FET are turned off
in the power saving state.
If a minus voltage is applied to the S/S pin, this pin current must be limited within 2mA by inserting the resistor of
about 200Ω.
7. Forward / Reverse Switching Circuit
The motor rotation direction can be switched by using the F/R pin. However, the following notes must be observed if
the F/R pin is switched while the motor is rotating.
• This IC is designed to avoid the through current when the direction is switched. However, the bounce of the VCC
voltage (due to the motor current that flows instantly on the power supply side) may be caused during the direction
switching. If this bounce is a problem, the capacitance inserted between VCC and GND must be increased.
• If the motor current after the direction switching exceeds the current limiter value, the upper side N-channel power
FET will be turned off, but the lower side N-channel power FET will be the short brake condition. On the short
brake condition, the current determined by the motor back EMF voltage and the coil resistance will flow. Because
the current limiter circuit of this IC cannot limit this current, applications must be designed so that this current does
not exceed the maximum rating (3.5A). When the motor speed is higher, the direction switching is dangerous.
If a minus voltage is applied to the F/R pin, this pin current must be limited within 2mA by inserting the resistor of
about 200Ω.

8. Hall Input Signal
The input amplitude of 100mVp-p or more (differential) is desirable in the Hall inputs. The closer the input
wave-form is to a square wave, the required input amplitude is lower. Inversely, the closer the input wave-form is to a
triangular wave, the higher input amplitude is required. Also, note that the input DC voltage must be set within the
common mode input voltage range.
For the Hall IC application, one side (either the + or – side) of the Hall inputs must be fixed at a voltage within the
common mode input voltage range that applies when the Hall-effect sensors are used, and the input voltage range for
the other side becomes 0V to VREG.
If noise on the Hall signals is a problem, that noise must be excluded by inserting capacitor between the Hall inputs as
close as possible to these pins.
When the Hall inputs for all three phases are in the same state, all the outputs (the both upper side and lower side
N-channel power FET) are turned off.
9. FG Output
The FG pin is the pulse output that has the same frequency as Hall input IN1 (one Hall-effect sensor FG output).
10. HB Pin
The HB pin is the 5V constant voltage output that combines the switch function. This pin is connected to the base of
external NPN transistor that supplies the bias of the Hall-effect sensors. If the HB output is turned off, this external
NPN transistor is too turned off, and the bias of the Hall-effect sensors is cut (Hall bias switch).
The HB output is turned off and is made pull-down by a 100kΩ internal resistor when the S/S pin is the stop mode.
Therefore, the bias of the Hall-effect sensors can be cut when the S/S pin is the stop mode.
In case the LIM pin is not used (LIM = GND), if the CTL voltage falls below 0.7V, the HB output is turned off, and
the bias of the Hall-effect sensors is cut.
In case the minimum output duty is determined by the LIM pin, even if the CTL voltage falls below 0.7V, the HB
output is not turned off.
If the HB pin is not used, keep open.
11. Constraint Protection Circuit
The constraint protection circuit operates to turn the motor drive (the upper side N-channel power FET) on or off
repeatedly in the motor constrained state. Therefore, the IC and the motor are protected. The drive on/off time can be
set by adjusting the oscillation frequency of the CSD pin with external capacitor. When a capacitor C [μF] is
connected between the CSD pin and GND1, the drive on/off time is calculated as follows.
TCSD1 (drive on time) = 8.21 × C
TCSD2 (drive off time) = TCSD1 × 15
When a 0.047μF capacitor is connected, this protection function will iterate an on/off period in which drive is on for
about 0.39sec and off for about 5.8sec.
By the variance of the IC, “8.21” of the above formula has varied from 5.41 to 11.01.
If the switching from L to H of the Hall input IN1 (the rising edge on the FG output) is not caused during the drive on
time, this protection function turns the motor drive off, and returns the motor drive on after the drive off time.
If the drive on time to be set is too short, this protection function operates at a normal motor start-up, and the motor
may not speed up since this protection function iterates an on/off period. Also, if the motor speed is too low, this
protection function operates when one cycle of the Hall input IN1 is longer than the drive on time. The drive on time
must be set to a sufficient time so that this protection function does not operate except the motor constrained state.
The oscillation waveform of the CSD pin is used for some circuits in addition to the constraint protection circuit.
Therefore, it is desirable to oscillate the CSD pin even if the constraint protection function is unnecessary.
The CSD pin combines the function as the initial reset pin. The time that the CSD voltage is charged to about 1.25V is
determined as the initial reset. At the initial reset, all the outputs (the both upper side and lower side N-channel power
FET) are turned off.
If the constraint protection function is not used, the oscillation of the CSD pin must be stopped by connecting a 220kΩ
resistor and a 0.01μF capacitor in parallel between the CSD pin and GND1. However, when the oscillation of the CSD
pin is stopped, note that some functions do not operate in the following cases.
• If the motor does not rotate at the motor start-up because the motor is constrained, the upper side N-channel power
FET may be switched by the current limiter. But, the synchronous rectification does not operate when the oscillation
of the CSD pin is stopped.Continued on next page.
• In case the LIM pin is not used (LIM = GND), even if the CTL voltage falls below 0.7V, the HB output is not turned
off when the oscillation of the CSD pin is stopped.

12. Low-voltage Shutdown Protection Circuit
The IC includes a low-voltage shutdown protection circuit to protect against incorrect operation when the VCC power
supply is switched on or if the VCC voltage falls below the allowable operating range. When the VCC voltage falls
below the specified voltage (VSDL), this protection function operates, and all the outputs (the both upper side and
lower side N-channel power FET) are turned off. When the VCC voltage rises above the release voltage (VSDH), this
protection function is released.
13. Thermal Shutdown Protection Circuit
If the junction temperature rises to the specified temperature (TSD), this protection function operates, and the upper
side N-channel power FET is turned off. If the temperature decrease falls to more than the hysteresis width (ΔTSD),
this protection function is released.
14. Power Supply Stabilization
Because a large switching current flows in the VCC line, the line inductance and other factors can lead to VCC
voltage fluctuations. Sufficient capacitance should be provided between VCC and GND for stabilization. When long
wiring routes are used, choose a capacitor with even larger capacitance.
Ceramic capacitors of about 0.2μF must be connected between the VCC1 pin and the GND1 pin as close as possible to
these pins for excluding noise.
15. VREG Pin
The VREG pin is the power supply for the control circuits. Therefore, a capacitor of about 0.1μF must be connected
between the VREG pin and the GND1 pin as close as possible to these pins for stabilization.
16. VG Pin
When the S/S pin is the stop mode, the VG pin is the high-impedance condition in the IC. If the ambient temperature
of the capacitor inserted between VG and VCC2 becomes high when the VG pin is the high-impedance condition,
since the voltage charged in this capacitor may rise due to the temperature characteristic of the capacitor, the VG
voltage may rise. Therefore, prevent the VG voltage from rising by inserting the resistor of about 200kΩ between VG
and VCC2 or VG and GND1 so that the VG pin is not the high-impedance condition.
17. Notes on wiring of a Printed Circuit Board
Two pins are provided for each of pins (VCC2, RF, OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, GND2) where large current flows. Both of
these pins should be externally connected.
18. The Metal of the IC’s Backside
The metal of the IC’s backside is the Exposed Die-pad and is internally connected to GND1, GND2. For stabilization,
connect the Exposed Die-pad to GND1 externally. The IC’s generation of heat can be efficiently diffused to a printed
circuit board by soldering the Exposed Die-pad to the copper of the printed circuit board.
19. NC Pins
The NC pins are electrically open. These pins may be used for wiring routes.
