MITSUBISHI <CONTROL / DRIVER IC>
M54640P
STEPPER MOTOR DRIVER
DESCRIPTION
The M54640P is a semiconductor IC to drive a stepper motor by
the bipolar method.
FEATURES
● Bipolar and constant-current drive
● Wide current control rage (20– 800mA)
● Wide supply voltage drive range (10 – 40V)
● Built in flywheel diodes
● Current level can be changed by steps or continuously.
● Built in a thermal shutdown circuit
APPLICATION
Printer, FDD, HDD, Fax
FUNCTION
The M54640P drives a stepper motor by the bipolar drive method to
change the current direction of a single coil and controls the current
direction with PHASE input pin. In order to obtain higher efficiency,
the constant current drive system to control the coil current is
introduced. The current value can be selected among four levels (0
to max.) by selecting the combination of three internal comparators
by logic input. It also can be continuously changed by controlling
the reference voltage. Conversion to voltage is conducted by the
current value sensing resistor (Rs) and the voltage is sensed with

each comparator, and then each comparator output triggers
monomulti and the current is cut for a certain time (tOFF) by utilizing
the inductance of the coil.
Also, diodes needed for choppering and a thermal shutdown circuit
as a countermeasure against overvoltage are built in this circuit.
