LB11920 Function Description

1. Output drive circuit

This IC is of a direct PWM drive type that suffers less power loss at the output.

On the basis of the signal (“H” level for OFF and “L” level for ON) entered in the PWMIN pin, the lower output Tr

performs PWM switching, causing change in the motor drive power.

To control by means of the DC voltage, apply the voltage to the TOC pin (in this case, the PWMIN pin should be in

the “L” level input condition). The TOC pin voltage is compared with the oscillation voltage of PWM pin,

determining the duty. As the TOC pin voltage is lower, the output duty increases.

2. Hall input signal

For Hall input, entry of the signal whose amplitude is larger than the hysteresis width (50 mV max) is necessary.

Considering effects of noise and phase delay, entry of the amplitude of 120 mVp-p (at differential input) or more is

recommended.

When noise causes disturbance in the output waveform (at phase switching) or in the HP output (Hall signal three-

phase composite output), insert a capacitor, etc. as near as possible to the pin between inputs to prevent such effects.

The Hall input is used as a signal for judgment of the input of the motor lock protection circuit. Though it is designed

to ignore noise to a certain extent, due attention should be paid to check for incorrect operation of the protection

circuit.

Both upper and lower outputs are OFF when all three phases of Hall input signal are in the common-mode input

condition.

one side (+ or –) of input to the voltage within the common-mode input range with the Hall element used.

3. Current limiting circuit

current detector resistance)(that is, this circuit limits the peak current).

The control operation functions to reduce the on state duty of the output and thus reduce the current.

Switching during current limiting is made on the basis of the frequency oscillated with the PWM pin.

The PWM frequency is determined from the capacitance C (F) of capacitor connected to the PWM pin.

The PWM frequency of 15k to 25 kHz is recommended. As PWM oscillation is used also as a clock signal of the

internal logic circuit, its oscillation is necessary even in the application where current limiting is not needed.
