8. FG input signal

Normally, one of the Hall sensor signals is input as an FG signal. If noise on the FG input is a problem, insert either a

capacitor or a filter consisting of a capacitor and a resistor. Although it is possible to exclude noise from the FG signal

by inserting a capacitor between the FGFIL pin and ground, if this pin's waveform is smoothed excessively, the circuit

may not be able to operate normally. Therefore, if a capacitor is used here, its value must be held to under 2200pF. If

the position of the capacitor's ground lead is inappropriate, problems due to noise may become more likely to occur.

Select the position carefully.

9. Constraint protection circuit

This IC includes a built-in constraint protection circuit to protect the IC and the motor during motor constraint. In the

start state, when the LD output is high for a fixed period (the unlocked state), the lower side transistor turns off. The

time is set by the capacitor connected to the CSD pin.

Set time (seconds)

≈ 120 × C (µF)

If a 0.068

µF capacitor is used, the protection time will be about 8 seconds. The set time must have a value that provides

an adequate margin relative to the motor start time. The protection circuit does not operate during braking implemented

by switching the clock frequency. Either switch to the stop state or turn off the power and restart to clear the constraint

protection state.

Since the CSD pin also functions as the initial reset pulse generation pin, if connected to ground the logic circuits will

be reset and speed control operation will not be possible. Therefore, if constraint protection is not used, connect CSD to

ground through a resistor of about 220k

Ω and a capacitor of about 4700pF in parallel.

10. Phase lock signal

(1) Phase lock range

Since this IC does not have a counter in the speed control system, the speed error range in the phase locked state

cannot be determined solely by the IC's characteristics. (This is because of the influence of the acceleration of the

changes in the FG frequency.) If it is necessary to stipulate this for the motor, it will be necessary to measure this with

the actual motor. Since it is easier for speed errors to occur in the state where the FG acceleration is large, the largest

speed errors are thought to occur during lock pull-in at startup and when unlocked due to clock frequency switching.

(2) Phase lock signal mask function

When the LDSEL pin is set high or left open, transient lock signals (short low-level periods on the LD output) is

masked. This function masks short low-level periods due to hunting during pull-in and allows a stable lock signal to

be output. However, the lock signal is delayed by amount of masking time.

When the LDSEL pin is set low, transient unlock signals (short high-level periods on the LD output) is masked.

This function prevents short period high-level signals from being output.

The mask time is set with the capacitor connected between the CLD pin and ground.

Mask time (seconds)

≈ 0.9 × C (µF)

A mask time of about 90ms can be set by using a capacitor of about 0.1µF. If complete masking is required, the mask

time must be set large enough to provide ample margin. If masking is not required, leave the CLD pin open.

11. Power supply stabilization

Since this IC provides a large output current and adopts a switching drive technique, it can easily disrupt the power

supply line voltage. Therefore, capacitors with ample capacitance must be inserted between the VCC pins and ground.

If reverse control mode is selected during braking, the circuit will return current to the power supply. This means that

the power supply lines are even more susceptible to disruption. Since the power supply is most easily influenced during

lock pull-in at high motor speeds, this case requires particular care. Select capacitor values that are fully adequate for

this case.

If diodes are inserted in the power supply lines to prevent damage if the power supply is connected with reverse

polarity, the power supply voltage will be even more susceptible to disruption, and even larger capacitors must be used.

12. VREG stabilization

Insert a capacitor of at least 0.1

µF to stabilize VREG, which is the control circuit power supply. The capacitor ground

must be connected as close as possible to the IC control block ground (the GND1 pin).

13. Error amplifier circuit components

Locate the error amplifier components as close to the IC as possible to minimize the influence of noise on this circuit.

Locate this circuit as far from the motor as possible.
