Motor driver ICs Reversible motor driver BA6286 / BA6286N The BA6286 and BA6286N are reversible-motor drivers with a maximum output current of 1.0A. Two logic inputs allow four output modes: forward, reverse, stop (idling), and brake. A built-in power saving circuit suppresses current consumption when the motor is in stop mode. Applications VCRs and audio equipment in general Features 1) Logic and power sections have separate ground pins; this allows the IC to drive speed-variable, reversible motors by connecting an electronic governor circuit. 2) Built-in power saving circuit suppresses the stop mode current dissipation. Absolute maximum ratings (Ta = 25C) Recommended operating conditions (Ta = 25C) 432 3) Output voltage can be set arbitrarily with the VREF pin. 4) Interfaces with TTL devices. 5) Built-in thermal shutdown circuit. Motor driver ICs BA6286 / BA6286N Block diagram Pin descriptions Input / output circuits 433 Motor driver ICs BA6286 / BA6286N Electrical characteristics (unless otherwise noted, Ta = 25C, VCC = 9V, VM = 9V, VREF = 9V) Measurement circuit 434 Motor driver ICs Circuit operation (1) Input section The four output modes are controlled by two logic inputs. Current flows from OUT1 to OUT2 when FIN is HIGH and RIN is LOW, and from OUT2 to OUT1 when RIN is HIGH and FIN is LOW (refer to the truth table). The input circuit can be operated by a logic circuit with a current capacity of 120 170µA. (2) Output section Current flows from OUT1 to OUT2 during forward rotation, and from OUT2 to OUT1 during reverse rotation. The output voltages VOH and VOL are given by : VOH [V]=VREF VCE (sat) (PNP) VBE (NPN) VOL [V]=VCE (sat) (NPN) BA6286 / BA6286N (3) Power saving circuit All circuits are turned off when the FIN and RIN input pins are both put to LOW level. This circuit saves power during standby mode by leaving the outputs OPEN. (4) Thermal shutdown circuit When the thermal shutdown circuit is activated at the chip temperature of about 175C (typical), the outputs are left OPEN. The temperature difference between the activation and deactivation settings is about 15C. When the thermal shutdown circuit is deactivated, the outputs revert to the status determined by input mode. Input / output truth table VCE and VBE are functions of the output current (see electrical characteristic curves). The output current can be set with the VREF pin. Application example 435 Motor driver ICs Operation notes (1) The quality of these products have been carefully checked; however, use of the products with applied voltages, operating temperatures, or other parameters that exceed the absolute maximum rating given may result in the damage of the IC and the product it is used in. If the IC is damaged, the short mode and open modes cannot be specified, so if the IC is to be used in applications where parameters may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, then be sure to incorporate fuses, or other physical safety measures. (2) GND potential The potential for pin 1 must be kept lower than the potentials of the other pins regardless of the circumstances. (3) Input pins Voltage should never be applied to the input pins when the VCC voltage is not applied to the IC. Similarly, when VCC is applied, the voltage on each input pin should be less than VCC and within the guaranteed range for the electrical characteristics. (4) Back-rush voltage Depending on the ambient conditions, environment, or motor characteristics, the back-rush voltage may fluctuate. Be sure to confirm that the back-rush voltage will not adversely affect the operation of the IC. (5) Large current line Large currents are carried by the motor power supply and motor ground for these ICs. Therefore, the layout of the pattern of the PC board and the constants of certain parameters for external components, such as the capacitor between the power supply and ground, may cause this large output current to flow back to the input pins, resulting in output oscillation or other malfunctions. To prevent this, make sure that the PC board layout and external circuit constants cause no problems with the characteristics of these ICs. (6) Power dissipation The power dissipation will fluctuate depending on the mounting conditions of the IC and the ambient environment. Make sure to carefully check the thermal design of the application where these ICs will be used. 436 BA6286 / BA6286N (7) Power consumption The power consumption by the IC varies widely with the power supply voltage and the output current. Give full consideration to the power dissipation rating and the thermal resistance data and transient thermal resistance data, to provide a thermal design so that none of the ratings for the IC are exceeded. (8) ASO Make sure that the output current and supply voltage do not exceed the ASO values. (9) Precautions for input mode switching To ensure reliability, it is recommended that the mode switching for the motor pass once through the open mode. (10) In-rush current There are no circuits built into these ICs that prevent inrush currents. Therefore, it is recommended to place a current limiting resistor or other physical countermeasure. (11) Factors regarding the thermal, power supply, and motor conditions If the potential of the output pin sways greatly and goes below the potential of ground, the operation of the IC may malfunction or be adversely affected. In such a case, place a diode between the output and ground, or other measure, to prevent this. (12) HIGH level output voltage setting pin Ensure that the voltage applied to VREF (pin 3) does not exceed the voltage on the motor power supply pin (pin 8) or the VCC pin. (13) The input pins (pins 2 and 10) have temperaturedependent characteristics. Take the temperature effect into consideration when using the IC. (14) To eliminate motor noise, connect a capacitor between OUT1 (pin 7) and GND and between OUT2 (pin 4) and GND. Alternatively, connect a capacitor between OUT1 and OUT2, and also a diode between OUT1 and GND and between OUT2 and GND (see Fig. 5).
