[Design Notes]
Above application example is designed for 5V operation with motor current of 350mA. It uses the following
components:
Hall Elements: HW101A (AKE)
1. Selection of C1 and D1:
C1 is used for a noise reduction purpose. A typical value is 0.1uF.
Optimize the value in actual operating conditions if necessary. D1 is a diode for protection against reverse voltage
supply. Silicon rectifier diode (WO3C, 10D1 and equivalent) is appropriate.
2. Lock Protection Function (Design of C2 value):
Lock Protection Function, consists of Motor Lock Detection and Auto Resume Function, is a safety feature to protect
a motor and a driver circuit from fatal destruction in case of motor halt.
Motor Lock Detection detects motor halt due to irregular load conditions and then cuts motor driving current f or
safety operation. A value of C2 determines Lock detection time (Ton) and Auto Resume Time (Toff).
Lock detection time (Ton) is given by:
[ ] TON
= C 2 VCL − VID

Auto Resume Time (Toff) is given by:
[ ] TOFF
= C 2 VCL − VID

In actual application, Lock detection time (Ton) is affected by the mechanical time constant of a motor. Therefore,
constant start up must be confirmed in actual evaluation taking operating variations (i.e.Temperature, Voltage change
and so on) in consideration.
