Data Sheet
SINGLE PHASE HALL EFFECT LATCH WITH LOCKED PROTECTION
General Description
The AH478 is a single coil Hall sensor with output
drivers designed for brush-less DC motor application.
This IC consists of one H-bridge driver for motor's coil
driving and has automatic lock shutdown and restart
function relatively. To avoid coil burning, rotor lock
shutdown detection circuit shut down the output driver
if the rotor is blocked and then the automatic recovery
circuit will try to restart the motor. This function
repeats while rotor is blocked. Until the blocking is
removed, the motor recovers running normally.
If a magnetic flux density is larger than threshold B
OP
,
the DO is turned to sink and DOB is turned to drive.
This output state is held until a magnetic flux density
reversal falls below B
RP,
causing DO to be turned to
drive and DOB turned to sink.
This IC is available in TO-95 package.
