3-phase motor driver
BA6870S
The BA6870S is a 3-phase, full-wave, pseudo-linear motor driver suited for VCR capstan motors. The IC has a torque
ripple cancellation circuit to reduce wow and flutter, and an output transistor saturation prevention circuit that provides
superb motor control over a wide range of current. The built-in motor power series regulator allows applications with low
power consumption.

Circuit operation
(1) Pseudo-linear output and torque ripple cancellation
The IC generates a trapezoidal (pseudo-linear) output
current, whose waveform phase is 30 degrees ahead of
that of the Hall input voltage (Fig. 1).
The trapezoidal waveform of output current would create
intermittence in the magnetic field generated by the
3-phase motor, and would result in an irregular rotation
of the motor. To prevent this, the output waveform is obtained by superimposing a triangular wave on the trapezoidal wave (Fig. 2). This process is called torque ripple
cancellation.
