NJM3776
DUAL CONTROLLER FOR HIGH-CURRENT STEPPER MOTOR
s
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NJM3776 is a switch-mode (chopper), constant-current
controller intended for controlling external transistors in a high
current stepper motor application. The NJM3776 has two channels,
one for each winding of a two-phase stepper motor. The NJM3776
is equipped with a Disable input to simplify half stepping operation.
The NJM3776 contains a clock oscillator, which is common for both
driver channels, a set of comparators and flip-flops implementing
the switching control, and two output sections each containing four
outputs, two source and two sink, intended to drive an external H-
bridge. Voltage supply requirements are +5 V for logic and +10 to
+45 V for the outputs.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each channel of the NJM3776 consists of the following sections:
• An output section with four output transistors, two sourcing and two sinking, intended to drive the four transistors
in an external H-bridge. Each transistor is capable of driving up to 200 mA continuous current.
• A logic section that controls the output transistors.
• An S-R flip-flop, and a comparator. The clock-oscillator is common to both channels.
Constant current control is achieved by switching the output current to the windings. This is done by sensing the
peak current through the winding via a current-sensing resistor R
S
, effectively connected in series with the motor
winding. As the current increases, a voltage develops across the sensing resistor, which is fed back to the com-
parator. At the predetermined level, defined by the voltage at the reference input V
R
, the comparator resets the flip-
flop, which turns off the sourcing output transistor in the circuit. Consequently the correspond-ing lower external
transistor, in the H-bridge, is turned off. The turn-off of one channel is independent of the other channel. The
current decreases until the clock oscillator triggers the flip-flops of both channels simultaneously, which turns on the
output transistors again, and the cycle is repeated.
To prevent erroneous switching due to switching transients at turn-on, the NJM3776 includes a digital filter. The
clock oscillator provides a blanking pulse which is used for digital filtering of the voltage transient across the
current sensing resistor during turn-on. Due to the high output drive capability, this transient might exceed the max.
allowed voltage on the C inputs and damage the circuit. A resistor is placed in the feedback loop in order to prevent
this transient from damaging the circuit.
The current paths during turn-on, turn-off and phase shift are shown in figure 3.
