Warning:
Power supply connection terminal [VM, VM1, VM2]
Make sure to short-circuit VM, VM1 and VM2.For controller supply voltage, the internal regulator voltage
of VREG5 (typ 5V) is used.
Make sure that supply voltage does not exceed the absolute MAX ratings under no circumstance.
Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation.
Caution is required for supply voltage because this IC performs switching.
The bypass capacitor of the power supply should be close to the IC as much as possible to stabilize
voltage. Also if you intend to use high current or back EMF is high, please augment enough capacitance.
GND terminal [GND, PGND1, PGND2, Exposed Die-Pad]
Since GND is the reference of the IC internal operation, make sure to connect to stable and the lowest
possible potential. Since high current flows into PGND, connect it to one-point GND.
The exposed die-pad is connected to the board frame of the IC. Therefore, do not connect it other than
GND. Independent layout is preferable. If such layout is not feasible, please connect it to signal GND. Or
if the area of GND and PGND is larger, you may connect the exposed die pad to the GND.
(The independent connection of exposed die pad to PGND is not recommended.)
Internal power supply regulator terminal [VREG5]
VREG5 is the power supply for logic (typ 5V).
When VM supply is powered and ST is ”H”, VREG5 operates.
Please connect capacitor for stabilize VREG5. The recommendation value is 0.1uF.
Since the voltage of VREG5 fluctuates, do not use it as reference voltage that requires accuracy.
Input terminal
The logic input pin incorporates pull-down resistor (100k).
When you set input pin to low voltage, please short it to GND because the input pin is vulnerable to noise.
The input is TTL level (H: 2V or higher, L: 0.8V or lower).
VREF pin is high impedance.
OUT terminal [OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B]
During chopping operation, the output voltage becomes equivalent to VM voltage, which can be the cause
of noise. Caution is required for the pattern layout of output pin.
The layout should be low impedance because driving current of motor flows into the output pin.
Output voltage may boost due to back EMF. Make sure that the voltage does not exceed the absolute
MAX ratings under no circumstance. Noncompliance can be the cause of IC destruction and degradation.
Current sense resistor connection terminal [RF1, RF2]
To perform constant current control, please connect resistor to RF pin.
To perform saturation drive (without constant current control), please connect RF pin to GND.
If RF pin is open, then short protector circuit operates. Therefore, please connect it to resistor or GND.
The motor current flows into RF – GND line. Therefore, please connect it to common GND line and low
impedance line.
NC terminal
NC pin is not connected to the IC.
If VM line and output line are wide enough in your layout, please use NC
