Application Information
1. Mute Function
1) Mute Control Voltage Condition When using the mute function, the applied control voltage condition is as follows. MUTE ON Voltage MUTE OFF Voltage 2.5[V] Above OPEN or 0.5[V] Below Mute Function Operation Normal Operation
2) Separated Channel Mute Function These pins are used for individual channel mute operation. - When the mute pins (pin 37, 38 and 39) are OPEN or the voltage of the mute pins are below 0.5[V], the mute circuit is stopped and BTL output circuits operate normally. - When the mute pins (pin 37, 38 and 39) are above 2.5[V], the mute circuits are activated so that the BTL output circuits will be muted. - If the junction temperature rises above 175°C, then the thermal shutdown (TSD) circuit is activated and all the output circuits (4-CH BTL Drivers and 3-phase BLDC Driver) are muted.

- The voltage, Vbias, is the reference voltage given by the external bias voltage of pin 41. - The input signals, Vin, through the pins (pin 22, 23, 24 and 25) are amplified 10K/Rextern times and then fed to the level shift. - The level shift produces the current due to the difference between the input signal (Vin) and the arbitrary reference voltage (Vbias). The current produced as + ∆I and - ∆I are fed into the drive buffers. - The drive buffer operates the power TR of the output stage according to the state of the input signal(Vin). - The output stage is the BTL driver, and the motor (or actuator) is rotating in forward direction by operating TR Q1 and TR Q4. On the other hand, if TR Q2 and TR Q3 are operating, the motor (or actuator) is rotating in reverse direction. - When the input signal Vin, through the pin (pin 22, 23, 24 and 25) is below the Vbias, then the motor (actuator) is in forward direction.

- When the input signal Vin, through the pin (pin 22, 23, 24 and 25) is above the Vbias, then the motor (actuator) is in reverse direction. - If you want to change the gain, then modify the external resistor's value (Rextern)

- By amplifying the voltage difference between EC and ECR from the Servo IC, the torque sense AMP produces the input (VAMP) for the current sense AMP. - The current sense AMP produces the input for the Gain controller to allow the output current (IO) of the driver to be controlled by the input voltage (VAMP), where the output current (IO) is detected by the sense resistor (RNF) and is converted into VRNF. - In the end, the signals of the Servo IC control the velocity of the motor by controlling the output current (IO) of the driver. - When the junction temperature rises up to about 175°C, then the output drive circuit will be shut down. - The range of the torque control input voltage is as shown below.

- This function block operates the power saving function. - The power save circuit is activated by operating TR Q1. - When the SS (Start/Stop) pin 10 is high (VCC), the TR Q1 is turned on so that the bias circuit is enabled. On the other hand, when the SS (Start/Stop) pin 10 is Open or Low (GND), the TR Q1 is turned off so that the bias circuit is disabled. - The power save operation controlled by SS (pin 10) input conditions is as follows; Pin#10 HIGH OPEN/LOW FAN8727 START STOP

When the pick-up part moves from the inner to the outer spindle of the MD, the brake function of the reverse voltage is commonly employed to rate the rotational velocity of the spindle motor.However, if the spindle motor rotates rapidly, the brake function of the reverse voltage may produce too much heat at the drive IC. To remove these shortcomings and to enhance efficiency, the short brake function is added to FAN8727. When the short brake function is active, all upper Power transistors are turned off and the lower Power transistors turned on, so as to reduce the rotational velocity of the motor. The short brake operation controlled by SB (pin 12), and the inputs conditions are as follows. Pin#12 HIGH LOW SHORT BRAKE ON OFF

6. Thermal Shutdown (Tsd) Function
When the junction temperature rises up to about 175°C, then the output drive circuit is shut down, when the junction temperature falls off to about 160°C, the output drive circuit will be normally operated. It has the temperature hysteresis of about 15°C.

- The forward and reverse rotations of the MD are detected by the circuit, as shown in the above Table. - The rotational direction of the MD can be learned by the output waveforms of the hall sensor and/or the driver. Let the three hall sensors be H1, H2 and H3 respectively. If the hall sensors turn on in the order, H1 → H2 → H3, of the reverse rotation, the output waveforms of the hall sensors will be as shown below.

- The forward and reverse rotation of the motor are detected, as shown in the table below, by the circuit shown above. Consequently at reverse rotation, the D-F/F output Q becomes Low and cuts off the output current sense Amp, resulting in the stoppage of the Gain controller function. - When the MD is rotating in forward direction, EC>ECR is sometimes controlled to retard and/or stop the MD. As the controlling time of EC>ECR gets longer, MD slows down, stops, and then rotates in the reverse direction. To prevent the MD from rotating in the reverse direction, a reverse rotation resistant function is required. Its operational principles are discussed below.

The 3-phase hall signal is amplified in the hall amplifiers and sent to the matrix section, where the signal is further amplified and combined. After the signal is converted to a current in the amplitude control circuit, the current is supplied to the output driver, which then provides a motor drive current. The phases of the hall input signal, output voltage, and output current are shown below.
