External Parts
Standard external parts are shown in the following table.
Part Recommended Value Purpose Other
C1, C2, C3 2.2 µF Bootstrap capacitor (Note 1)
R1 0.62 ± 1% (1 W) Current detection (Note 2)
C4 1000 pF ± 5% PWM frequency setup (Note 3)
R2 27 k ± 5% PWM frequency setup (Note 3)
C5 10 µF Control power supply stability (Note 4)
C6 0.1 µF VREG power supply stability (Note 4)
R3 5.1 k FG pin pull-up resistor (Note 5)
Note 1: Although the required bootstrap capacitance value with the motor drive conditions, care must be taken to
keep the capacitor voltage greater than or equal to 4.8 V for 20 ms after the start-up and during drive. The
capacitor is biased by 6 V (typ.) and must be sufficiently derated for it.
Note 2: The following formula shows the detection current: IO = VR ÷ RIS (VR = 0.5 V typ.)
Do not exceed a detection current of 900 mA when using the IC.
Note 3: With the combination of Cos and RREF shown in the table, the PWM frequency is around 20 kHz. The IC
intrinsic error factor is around 10%.
The PWM frequency is broadly expressed by the following formula. (In this case, the stray capacitance of the
printed circuit board needs to be considered.)
f
PWM = 0.65 ÷ {Cos × (RREF + 4.25 k) } [Hz]
R
REF creates the reference current of the PWM triangular wave charge/discharge circuit. If RREF is set too
small it exceeds the current capacity of the IC internal circuits and the triangular wave distorts. Set RREF to
at least 9 k.
Note 4: When using the IC, some adjustment is required in accordance with the use environment. When mounting,
place as close to the base of the IC leads as possible to improve the noise elimination.
Note 5: The FG pin is open drain. When using the FG pin, connect it to, for example, the CPU power supply (5 V) via
a pull-up resistor. Note that when the FG pin is connected to a power supply with an voltage equal or higher
than the VCC, a protector circuit is triggered so that the current flows continuously. If not using the FG pin,
connect to the GND.
Note 6: If noise is detected on the Hall signal pin, add a CR filter.
(recommended 0.1 µF capacitor and 1 k resistor)
Handling precautions
(1) When switching the power supply to the circuit on/off, ensure that VS < VVSOFF (all IGBT outputs
off). At that time, either the VCC or the VBB can be turned on/off first. Note that if the power supply is
switched off as described above, the IC may be destroyed if the current regeneration route to the VBB
power supply is blocked when the VBB line is disconnected by a relay or similar while the motor is
still running.
(2) The IS pin connecting the current detection resistor is connected to a comparator in the IC and also
functions as a sensor pin for detecting overcurrent. As a result, overvoltage caused by a surge, for
example, may destroy the circuit. Accordingly, be careful of handling the IC or of surges in its
application environment.
(3) The triangular wave oscillator circuit, with externally connected COS and RREF, charges and
discharges minute amounts of current. Therefore, subjecting the IC to noise when mounting it on the
board may distort the triangular wave or cause malfunction. To avoid this, attach external
components to the base of the IC leads or isolate them from any tracks or wiring which carries large
current.
(4) The PWM of this IC is controlled by the ON/OFF state of the high-side IGBT.

Description of Protection Function
(1) Overcurrent
Overcurrent protection function in this IC detects voltage generated in the current detection
resistor connected to the IS pin. When this voltage exceeds VR = 0.5 V (typ.), the high-side IGBT
output, which is on, temporarily shuts down after a mask period (approx. 1 µs), preventing any
additional current from flowing to the IC. The next PWM ON signal releases the shutdown state.
(2) Undervoltage
When the VCC power supply falls to the IC internal setting (VCCUVD = 7.5 V typ.), all IGBT
outputs shut down regardless of the input. This protection function has hysteresis. When the
VCCUVR (= 8.0 V typ.) reaches 0.5 V higher than the shutdown voltage, the IC is automatically
restored and the IGBT is turned on again by the input.
(3) Overheating
When the temperature of this chip rises due to external causes or internal heat generation and the
internal setting TSD reaches 165°C, all IGBT outputs shut down regardless of the input. This
protection function has hysteresis (TSD = 10°C typ.). When the chip temperature falls to TSD
TSD, the chip is automatically restored and the IGBT is turned on again by the input.
Because the chip contains just one temperature detection location, when the chip heats up due to
the IGBT, for example, the differences in distance from the detection location in the IGBT (the source
of the heat) cause differences in the time taken for shutdown to occur.

Description of Bootstrap Capacitor Charging
The IC uses bootstrapping for the power supply for high-side drivers.
The bootstrap capacitor is charged by turning on the low-side IGBT of the same arm (approximately 1/5 of PWM
cycle) while the high-side IGBT controlled by PWM is off.
When the VS voltage exceeds 3.8 V (duty 55%), the low-side IGBT is continuously in the off state. This is because
when the PWM on-duty becomes larger, the arm is short-circuited while the low-side IGBT is on. Even in this state,
because PWM control is being performed on the high-side IGBT, the regenerative current of the diode flows to the
low-side FRD of the same arm, and bootstrap capacitor is charged. Note that when the on-duty is 100%, diode
regenerative current does not flow; thus, the bootstrap capacitor is not charged.
To determine the capacitance of the bootstrap capacitor, take the voltage drop at 100% duty into consideration.
(For example, to drive at 20 kHz, it takes approximately 10 µs per cycle to charge the capacitor.)
VS Range IGBT Operation
A Both high- and low-side off.
B Charging range. Low-side IGBT turns on at the phase when the high-side IGBT turns on in the timing
chart.
C No charging range. High-side at PWM; low-side continues on according to the timing chart.
Safe Operating Area
*: The above safe operating area is Tc = 95°C. If the temperature exceeds this, the safe operation area reduces.
*: The above safe operating area includes the overcurrent protection operation area. If the overcurrent protection
operation continues, depending on the heat discharge conditions, an overheating protection operation may result.
