Reference describing operation
(1) Stand-by function
When ST pin is at low levels, the IC enters stand-by mode, all logic is reset and output is turned OFF.
When ST pin is at high levels, the stand-by mode is released.
(2) STEP pin function
STEP input advances electrical angle at every nising edge (advances step by step).

(3) Excitation setting method
Set the excitation setting as shown in the following table by setting MD1 pin, MD2 pin and MD3 pin.

(Excitation) 1ch current 2ch current
Low Low Low Half 100% 0%
Low Low High 1/8 100% 0%
Low High Low 1/16 100% 0%
Low High High 1/32 100% 0%

High Low High 1/128 100% 0%
High High Low 1/10 100% 0%
High High High 1/20 100% 0%
The initial position is also the default state at start-up and excitation position at counter-reset in each Micro step
resolution.
(4) MO output pin
MO output pin serves as open-drain connection.
If MO pin will be in the state of an initial position, it is turned on, and it outputs a Low level.
Excitation position MO
Initial position Low
Other initial position OPEN
(5) Output current setting
Output current is set shown below by the VREF pin (applied voltage) and a resistance value between RF1(2) pin and
GND.
IOUT = ( VREF / 3 ) / RF1 (2) resistance
* The setting value above is a 100% output current in each excitation mode.
(Example) When VREF = 0.9V and RF1 (2) resistance is 0.1, the setting is shown below.
IOUT = ( 0.9V / 3 ) / 0.1 = 3A
LV8727
No.A1998-8/23
(6) Output enable function
When the OE pin is set Low, the output is forced OFF and goes to high impedance. However, the internal logic circuits
are operating, so the excitation position proceeds when the STP is input. Therefore, when OE pin is returned to High,
the output level conforms to the excitation position proceeded by the STEP input.
OE Operation mode
L Output: OFF
H Output: ON
(7) Reset function
When the RST pin is set Low, the output goes to initial mode and excitation position is fixed in the initial position for
STEP pin and FR pin input. MO pin outputs at low levels at the initial position. (Open drain connection)

(8) Forward / reverse switching function
FR Operating mode
Low Clockwise (CW)
High Counter-clockwise (CCW)
The internal D/A converter proceeds by a bit on the rising edge of the step signal input to the STEP pin. In addition,
CW and CCW mode are switched by FR pin setting.
In CW mode, the channel 2 current phase is delayed by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
In CCW mode, the channel 2 current phase is advanced by 90° relative to the channel 1 current.
(9) DECAY mode setting
Current DECAY method is selectable as shown below by applied voltage to the FDT pin.
FDT voltage DECAY method
3.5V to SLOW DECAY
1.1V to 3.1V or OPEN MIXED DECAY
To 0.8V FAST DECAY
(10) Chopping frequency setting function
Chopping frequency is set as shown below by a capacitor between OSC1 pin and GND.
Fcp = 1 / ( Cosc1 / 10 х 10-6 ) (Hz)
(Example) When Cosc1 = 180pF, the chopping frequency is shown below.
Fcp = 1 / ( 180 х 10-12 / 10 х 10-6 ) = 55.6(kHz)

SLOW DECAY current control operation
When FDT pin voltage is a voltage over 3.5V, the constant-current control is operated in SLOW DECAY mode.
( Sine-wave increasing direction )
( Sine-wave decreasing direction )
Each of current modes operates with the follow sequence.
The IC enters CHARGE mode at a rising edge of the chopping oscillation. ( A period of CHARGE mode (Blanking
Time) is forcibly present in approximately 1s, regardless of the current value of the coil current (ICOIL) and set
current (IREF)).
After the period of the blanking time, the IC operates in CHARGE mode until ICOIL IREF. After that, the mode
switches to the SLOW DECAY mode and the coil current is attenuated until the end of a chopping period.
At the constand-current in SLOW DECAY mode, following to the setting current from the coil current may take time
(or not follow) for the current delay attenuation.

MIXED DECAY current control operation
When FDT pin voltage is a voltage between 1.1V to 3.1V or OPEN, the constant-current control is operated in MIXED
DECAY mode.
(Sine-wave increasing direction)
(Sine-wave decreasing direction)
Each of current modes operates with the follow sequence.
The IC enters CHARGE mode at a rising edge of the chopping oscillation. ( A period of CHARGE mode (Blanking
Time) is forcibly present in approximately 1s, regardless of the current value of the coil current (ICOIL) and set
current (IREF)).
In a period of Blanking Time, the coil current (ICOIL) and the setting current (IREF) are compared.
If an ICOIL < IREF state exists during the charge period:
The IC operates in CHARGE mode until ICOIL IREF. After that, it switches to SLOW DECAY mode and
then switches to FAST DECAY mode in the last approximately 1s of the period.
If no ICOIL < IREF state exists during the charge period:
The IC switches to FAST DECAY mode and the coil current is attenuated with the FAST DECAY operation
until the end of a chopping period.
The above operation is repeated. Normally, in the sine wave increasing direction the IC operates in SLOW (+ FAST)
DECAY mode, and in the sine wave decresing direction the IC operates in FAST DECAY mode until the current is
attenuated and reaches the set value and the IC operates in SLOW (+ FAST) DECAY mode.

(13) Output short-circuit protection circuit
Built-in output short-circuit protection circuit makes output to enter in stand-by mode. This function prevents the IC
from damaging when the output shorts circuit by a voltage short or a ground short, etc. When output short state is
detected, short-circuit detection circuit state the operating and output is once turned OFF. Subsequently, the output is
turned ON again after the timer latch period ( typ. 256s ). If the output remains in the short-circuit state, turn OFF the
output, fix the output to the wait mode, and turn ON the EMO output.
When output is fixed in stand-by mode by output short protection circuit, output is released the latch by setting ST =
“L”.

(15) DOWN output pin
The DOWN output pin is an open-drain connection.
This pin is turned ON when no rising edge of STEP between the input signals while a period determined by a
capacitor between OSC2 and GND, and outputs at low levels.
The open-drain output in once turned ON, is turned OFF at the next rising edge of STEP.
Holding current switching time ( Tdown ) is set as shown below by a capacitor between OSC2 pin and GND.
Tdown = Cosc2 х 0.4 х 109 (s)
(Example) When Cosc2 = 1500pF, the STEP signal detection time is shown below.
Tdown = 1500pF х 0.4 х 109 = 0.6 (s)
By connecting circumference parts like the example of the following circuit diagram using a DOWN pin, that is a STEP
signal is not inputted more than detection time, it is a DOWN output's turning on in the state of holding turning on
electricity the position of a stepping motor, and setting current's falling because VREF input voltage's falls, and
stopping power consumption -- it can do.
(Example) When V1=5V, R1=27k, R2=4.7k, R3=1k, the VREF input voltage is shown below.
DOWN output OFF: VREF=V1×R2/(R1+R2)=0.741V
DOWN output ON: VREF=V1×(R2R3)/ (R1+(R2R3))=0.126V

HZIP25 Heat sink attachment
Heat sinks are used to lower the semiconductor device junction temperature by leading the head generated by the device to
the outer environment and dissipating that heat.
a. Unless otherwise specified, for power ICs with tabs and power ICs with attached heat sinks, solder must not be
applied to the heat sink or tabs.
b. Heat sink attachment
· Use flat-head screws to attach heat sinks.
· Use also washer to protect the package.
· Use tightening torques in the ranges 39-59Ncm(4-6kgcm) .
· If tapping screws are used, do not use screws with a diameter larger
than the holes in the semiconductor device itself.
· Do not make gap, dust, or other contaminants to get between the
semiconductor device and the tab or heat sink.
· Take care a position of via hole .
· Do not allow dirt, dust, or other contaminants to get between the
semiconductor device and the tab or heat sink.
· Verify that there are no press burrs or screw-hole burrs on the heat sink.
· Warping in heat sinks and printed circuit boards must be no more than
0.05 mm between screw holes, for either concave or convex warping.
· Twisting must be limited to under 0.05 mm.
· Heat sink and semiconductor device are mounted in parallel.
Take care of electric or compressed air drivers
· The speed of these torque wrenches should never exceed 700 rpm, and
should typically be about 400 rpm.
c. Silicone grease
· Spread the silicone grease evenly when mounting heat sinks.
· Recommends YG-6260 (Momentive Performance Materials Japan LLC)
d. Mount
· First mount the heat sink on the semiconductor device, and then mount that assembly on the printed circuit board.
· When attaching a heat sink after mounting a semiconductor device into the printed circuit board, when tightening
up a heat sink with the screw, the mechanical stress which is impossible to the semiconductor device and the pin
doesn't hang.
e. When mounting the semiconductor device to the heat sink using jigs, etc.,
· Take care not to allow the device to ride onto the jig or positioning dowel.
· Design the jig so that no unreasonable mechanical stress is not applied to the semiconductor device.
f. Heat sink screw holes
· Be sure that chamfering and shear drop of heat sinks must not be larger than the diameter of screw head used.
· When using nuts, do not make the heat sink hole diameters larger than the diameter of the head of the screws used.
A hole diameter about 15% larger than the diameter of the screw is desirable.
· When tap screws are used, be sure that the diameter of the holes in the heat sink are not too small. A diameter about
15% smaller than the diameter of the screw is desirable.
g. There is a method to mount the semiconductor device to the heat sink by using a spring band. But this method is not
recommended because of possible displacement due to fluctuation of the spring force with time or vibration.
