●Points to notice for terminal description
○PS／Power save terminal
PS can make circuit standby state and make motor output OPEN. Please be careful because there is a delay of 40μs(max.)
before it is returned from standby state to normal state and the motor output becomes ACTIVE.
PS State
L Standby state (RESET)
H ACTIVE
○PHA1,PHA2／Logic input terminal
These terminals decide output state.
PHAX OUTXA OUTXB
L L H
H H L
○I01,I02,I11,I12／Logic input terminal for DAC
These terminals decide internal DAC output voltage for current limit.
I0X I1X

L L 100
H L 67
L H 33
H H 0
(I0X,I1X)=(H,H) : motor output are open.
●Protection Circuits
○Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
This IC has a built-in thermal shutdown circuit for thermal protection. When the IC’s chip temperature rises above
175℃ (Typ.), the motor output becomes OPEN. Also, when the temperature returns to under 150℃ (Typ.), it
automatically returns to normal operation. However, even when TSD is in operation, if heat is continued to be added
externally, heat overdrive can lead to destruction.
○Over Current Protection (OCP)
This IC has a built in over current protection circuit as a provision against destruction when the motor outputs are
shorted each other or V
M
－motor output or motor output－GND is shorted. This circuit latches the motor output to
OPEN condition when the regulated threshold current flows for 4μs (Typ.). It returns with power reactivation or a reset
of the PS terminal. The over current protection circuit’s only aim is to prevent the destruction of the IC from irregular
situations such as motor output shorts, and is not meant to be used as protection or security for the set. Therefore, sets
should not be designed to take into account this circuit’s functions. After OCP operating, if irregular situations continue
and the return by power reactivation or a reset of the PS terminal is carried out repeatedly, then OCP operates
repeatedly and the IC may generate heat or otherwise deteriorate. When the L value of the wiring is great due to the
wiring being long, after the over current has flowed and the output terminal voltage jumps up and the absolute
maximum values may be exceeded and as a result, there is a possibility of destruction. Also, when current which is
over the output current rating and under the OCP detection current flows, the IC can heat up to over T
jmax
=150℃ and
can deteriorate, so current which exceeds the output rating should not be applied.
○Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO)
This IC has a built-in under voltage lock out function to prevent false operation such as IC output during power supply
under voltage. When the applied voltage to the V
M
terminal goes under 15V (Typ.), the motor output is set to OPEN.
This switching voltage has a 1V (Typ.) hysteresis to prevent false operation by noise etc. Please be aware that this
circuit does not operate during power save mode.
○Over Voltage Lock Out (OVLO)
This IC has a built-in over voltage lock out function to protect the IC output and the motor during power supply over
voltage. When the applied voltage to the VM terminal goes over 32V (Typ.), the motor output is set to OPEN. This
switching voltage has a 1V (Typ.) hysteresis and a 4μs (Typ.) mask time to prevent false operation by noise etc.
Although this over voltage locked out circuit is built-in, there is a possibility of destruction if the absolute maximum
value for power supply voltage is exceeded, therefore the absolute maximum value should not be exceeded. Please be
aware that this circuit does not operate during power save mode.
○False operation prevention function in no power supply (Ghost Supply Prevention)
If a logic control signal is input when there is no power supplied to this IC, there is a function which prevents the false
operation by voltage supplied via the electrostatic destruction prevention diode from the logic control input terminal to
the V
M
, to this IC or to another IC’s power supply. Therefore, there is no malfunction of the circuit even when voltage is
supplied to the logic control input terminal while there is no power supply.
