(Note)Hi-Z : all output transistors are off. Please note that this is the state of the connected diodes, which differs from that of the mechanical relay.
X : Don’t care

Mode (a) Stand-by Mode

Stand-by operates independently with the VREF pin voltage. In stand-by mode, all internal circuits are turned OFF,
including the output power transistors. Motor output goes to high impedance state. When the system is switched
to stand-by mode while the motor is running, the system enters an idling state because of the body diodes.
However, when the system switches to stand-by from any other mode (except the brake mode), the control logic
remains in the HIGH state for at least 50µs before shutting down all circuits.

Mode (b) Forward Mode

This operating mode is defined as the forward rotation of the motor when OUT1 pin is HIGH and OUT2 pin is
LOW. When the motor is connected between OUT1 and OUT2 pins, the current flows from OUT1 to OUT2. To
operate in this mode, connect the VREF pin to the VCC pin.

Mode (c) Reverse Mode

This operating mode is defined as the reverse rotation of the motor when OUT1 pin is low and OUT2 pin is high.
When the motor is connected between OUT1 and OUT2 pins, the current flows from OUT2 to OUT1. To operate
in this mode, connect the VREF pin to the VCC pin.

Mode (d) Brake Mode

This operating mode is used to quickly stop the motor (short circuit brake). It differs from the stand-by mode
because the internal control circuit is operating in the brake mode. Please switch to stand-by mode (rather than
the brake mode) to save power and reduce consumption.

Mode (e),(f) PWM Control Mode A

The rotational speed of the motor can be controlled by the duty cycle of the PWM signal fed to the FIN pin or the
RIN pin. In this mode, the high side output is fixed and the low side output is switching, corresponding to the input
signal. The state of the output toggles between "L" and "Hi-Z".
The frequency of the input PWM signal can be between 20kHz and 100kHz. The circuit may not operate properly
for PWM frequencies below 20kHz and above 100kHz. Note that control may not be attained by switching on duty
at frequencies lower than 20kHz, since the operation functions via the stand-by mode. To operate in this mode,
connect the VREF pin to the VCC pin. In addition, establish a current path for the recovery current from the motor,
by connecting a bypass capacitor (10µF or higher is recommended) between VCC and ground.

Mode (i),(j) VREF Control Mode

The built-in VREF duty cycle conversion circuit provides a duty cycle corresponding to the voltage of the VREF pin
and the VCC voltage. The function offers the same level of control as the high voltage output setting function in
previous models. The duty cycle is calculated by the following equation.

DUTY ≈ VREF [V ] / VCC [V ]

For example, if VCC voltage is 5V and VREF pin voltage is 3.75V, the duty cycle is about 75 percent. However,
please note that the duty cycle might be limited by the range of the VREF pin voltage (Refer to the recommended
operating conditions, shown on page 3). The PWM carrier frequency in this mode is 25kHz (nominal), and the
switching operation is the same as the PWM control modes. When operating in this mode, do not input a PWM
signal to the FIN and RIN pins. In addition, establish a current path for the recovery current from the motor, by
connecting a bypass capacitor (10µF or more is recommended) between VCC and ground.

(2) Cross-Conduction Protection Circuit

In the full bridge output stage, when the upper and lower transistors are turned ON at the same time during high
to low or low to high transition, an inrush current flows from the power supply to ground, resulting to a loss. This
circuit eliminates the inrush current by providing a dead time (about 400ns, nominal) during the transition.

(3) Output Protection Circuits

(a) Under Voltage Lock Out (UVLO) Circuit
To ensure the lowest power supply voltage necessary to operate the controller, and to prevent under voltage
malfunctions, a UVLO circuit has been built into this driver. When the power supply voltage falls to 2.3V (nominal),
or below, the controller forces all driver outputs to high impedance state. When the voltage rises to 2.5V (nominal),
or above, the UVLO circuit ends the lockout operation and returns the chip to its normal operation.

(b) Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Circuit

When the power supply voltage exceeds 7.3V (nominal), the controller forces all driver outputs to high impedance
state. The OVP circuit is released and its operation ends when the voltage drops back to 6.8V (nominal) or below.
This protection circuit does not work in the stand-by mode. Also, note that this circuit is supplementary, and thus if
it is asserted, the absolute maximum rating will have been exceeded. Therefore, do not continue to use the IC
after this circuit is activated, and do not operate the IC in an environment where activation of the circuit is
assumed.

(c) Thermal Shutdown (TSD) Circuit

The TSD circuit operates when the junction temperature of the driver exceeds the preset temperature (175°C
nominal). At this time, the controller forces all driver outputs to high impedance state. Since thermal hysteresis is
provided by the TSD circuit, the chip returns to its normal operation when the junction temperature falls below the
preset temperature (150°C nominal). Thus, it is a self-resetting circuit.
The TSD circuit is designed only to shut the IC off to prevent thermal runaway. It is not designed to protect the IC
or guarantee its operation in the presence of extreme heat. Do not continue to use the IC after the TSD circuit is
activated, and do not operate the IC in an environment where activation of the circuit is assumed.

(d) Over Current Protection (OCP) Circuit

To protect this driver IC from ground faults, power supply line faults and load short circuits, the OCP circuit
monitors the output current for the circuit’s monitoring time (10µs, nominal). When the protection circuit detects an
over current, the controller forces all driver outputs to high impedance state during the off time (290µs, nominal).
The IC returns to its normal operation after the time period has elapsed (self-returning type).

Operational Notes

1. Reverse Connection of Power Supply

Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when
connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power
supply pins.

2. Power Supply Lines

Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Separate the ground and supply lines of the
digital and analog blocks to prevent noise in the ground and supply lines of the digital block from affecting the analog
block. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and
aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic capacitors.

3. Ground Voltage
Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.

4. Ground Wiring Pattern

When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but
connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal
ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations
on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance.

5. Thermal Consideration
Should by any chance the power dissipation rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may result in
deterioration of the properties of the chip. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, increase the board size
and copper area to prevent exceeding the Pd rating.

6. Recommended Operating Conditions

These conditions represent a range within which the expected characteristics of the IC can be approximately
obtained. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter.

7. Inrush Current
When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush
current may flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC
has more than one power supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance,
power wiring, width of ground wiring, and routing of connections.

8. Operation Under Strong Electromagnetic Field

Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction.

9. Testing on Application Boards

When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may
subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply
should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection
process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during
transport and storage.

10. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors

Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in
damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin.
Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment)
and unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few.

11. Unused Input Pins

Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and
extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small
charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and
cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the
power supply or ground line.

12. Regarding the Input Pin of the IC

This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them
isolated. P-N junctions are formed at the intersection of the P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a
parasitic diode or transistor. For example (refer to figure below):
When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode.
When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor.
Parasitic diodes inevitably occur in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual
interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Therefore, conditions that cause these diodes to
operate, such as applying a voltage lower than the GND voltage to an input pin (and thus to the P substrate) should
be avoided.

13. Area of Safe Operation (ASO)

Operate the IC such that the output voltage, output current, and power dissipation are all within the Area of Safe
Operation (ASO).

14. Power supply lines2

Return current generated by the motor’s Back-EMF requires countermeasures, such as providing a return current
path by inserting capacitors across the power supply and GND (10µF, ceramic capacitor is recommended). In this
case, it is important to conclusively confirm that none of the negative effects sometimes seen with electrolytic
capacitors – including a capacitance drop at low temperatures - occurs. Also, the connected power supply must have
sufficient current absorbing capability. Otherwise, the regenerated current will increase voltage on the power supply
line, which may in turn cause problems with the product, including peripheral circuits exceeding the absolute
maximum rating. To help protect against damage or degradation, physical safety measures should be taken, such as
providing a voltage clamping diode across the power supply and GND.

15. Capacitor Between Output and Ground

If a large capacitor is connected between the output pin and ground pin, current from the charged capacitor can flow
into the output pin and may destroy the IC when the VCC or VIN pin is shorted to ground or pulled down to 0V. Use a
capacitor smaller than 10µF between output and ground.

16. Switching Noise

When the operation mode is in PWM control or VREF control, PWM switching noise may affect the control input pins
and cause IC malfunctions. In this case, insert a pull down resistor (10kΩ is recommended) between each control
input pin and ground.
