[0022] <First Embodiment>

[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of a motor system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The illustrated motor system SYS1 includes a semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 , a motor 21 , a resistor 31 , and capacitors 32 and 33 .

[0024] Figure 2 1 is an external perspective view of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. The semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 is an electronic component formed by sealing a semiconductor integrated circuit chip in a housing (package) made of resin. A plurality of external terminals are provided to be exposed on the housing of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11, and the plurality of external terminals include Figure 1 The terminals VB, CPA, CPB, VREG, OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B, PGND and GND are shown. Figure 2 The number of external terminals of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 and the appearance of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 shown are merely examples.

[0025] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 includes a control circuit 1 , a pre-driver 2 , a driver 3 , and terminals VB, OUT1A, OUT1B, OUT2A, OUT2B, PGND, and GND.

[0026] The control circuit 1 includes a control logic circuit and an analog circuit, and controls the driver 3 through the pre-driver 2 .

[0027] The pre-driver 2 performs predetermined signal processing (level shift processing, waveform shaping processing, simultaneous on prohibition processing, etc.) on the up / down pre-driver drive signal of each phase supplied from the control circuit 1, thereby generating an up / down driver drive signal of each phase and outputting it to the driver 3.

[0028] The driver 3 generates a motor drive voltage for each phase based on the up / down driver drive signal for each phase supplied from the pre-driver 2, and outputs it to the motor 21. The motor 21 is a two-phase stepping motor. The motor 21 includes a rotor RT1 and stator coils L1 and L2 corresponding to the two phases, respectively. The driver 3 is connected to a first end of the stator coil L1 via a terminal OUT1A, to a second end of the stator coil L1 via a terminal OUT1B, to a first end of the stator coil L2 via a terminal OUT2A, and to a second end of the stator coil L2 via a terminal OUT2B.

[0029] A voltage Vb is applied from a voltage source B1 to a terminal VB. The pre-driver 2 and the driver 3 are configured to use the voltage Vb received from the terminal VB as a power supply voltage.

[0030] A ground potential is applied to the terminal PGND. The driver 3 is configured to use the ground potential received from the terminal PGND as a reference potential.

[0031] A ground potential is applied to the terminal GND. The ground potential applied to the terminal GND is used as a reference potential in each portion of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11.

[0032] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 further includes transistors Q1 to Q3 each of which is a P-channel MOSFET, resistors R1 and R2, an amplifier AMP1, a reference voltage source REF1, a charge and discharge control circuit 4, a switching control circuit 5, a monitoring circuit 6, and terminals CPA, CPB, and VREG.

[0033] The source of transistor Q1 is connected to terminal VB. The drain of transistor Q1 is connected to terminal CPA and the source of transistor Q2. The drain of transistor Q2 is connected to terminal CPB and the source of transistor Q3. The voltage Vreg at the drain of transistor Q3 is supplied to terminal VREG, a voltage divider circuit including resistors R1 and R2, and control circuit 1.

[0034] The charge and discharge control circuit 4 controls the transistor Q1 . The switching control circuit 5 controls the transistor Q2 . The monitoring circuit 6 monitors the voltage Vcpb of the terminal CPB and outputs the monitoring result to the charge and discharge control circuit 4 and the switching control circuit 5 .

[0035] The amplifier AMP1 controls the transistor Q3 according to the difference between the reference voltage Vref output from the reference voltage source REF1 and the voltage Vreg.

[0036] Outside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11, a first end of the resistor 31 is connected to the terminal CPA, a second end of the resistor 31 and a first end of the capacitor 32 are connected to the terminal CPB, a first end of the capacitor 33 is connected to the terminal VREG, and a second end of the capacitor 32 and a second end of the capacitor 33 are connected to the ground potential.

[0037] The charge pump circuit including transistors Q1 and Q2 , a resistor 31 , and a capacitor 32 is configured to output a voltage Vcpb obtained by stepping down Vb received from a terminal VB.

[0038] The linear power supply circuit including the transistor Q3 , the resistors R1 and R2 , the amplifier AMP1 , and the capacitor 33 is configured to output a voltage Vreg obtained by stepping down the voltage Vcpb.

[0039] Figure 3 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. Figure 3 , the voltages Vb, Vcpb and Vreg, the state of the transistor Q1 and the state of the transistor Q2 are depicted from top to bottom. Figure 3 The voltage values ​​depicted in are merely examples and are not limited thereto.

[0040] When the voltage Vcpb drops to a first threshold (eg, 6.8V), the charge and discharge control circuit 4 turns on the transistor Q1 , and when the voltage Vcpb rises to a second threshold (eg, 7V) greater than the first threshold, the charge and discharge control circuit 4 turns off the transistor Q1 .

[0041] When the transistor Q1 is turned on, the capacitor 32 is charged and the voltage Vcpb rises, and when the transistor Q1 is turned off, the capacitor 32 is discharged and the voltage Vcpb drops. Figure 3 In the timing diagram shown, since the transistor Q2 is turned off, the power supplied to the terminal VB is distributed and consumed inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 and the resistor 31. This reduces the power consumption inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11, and can suppress the heat generation inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. In this way, since the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 can suppress the heat generation inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11, the output current capability of the driver 3 can be improved.

[0042] Figure 4 1 is a timing chart for explaining another operation of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. Figure 4 , the voltage Vb, the voltage Vcpb, the voltage Vreg, the state of the transistor Q1, the state of the transistor Q2, and the current I_load flowing through the transistor Q1 are depicted from top to bottom. Figure 4 The voltage values ​​depicted in are merely examples and are not limited thereto.

[0043] exist Figure 4 , the transition is made in the order of period P1, period P2, and period P3. Periods P1 and P3 are periods in which the load is light and driven by the power output from the linear power supply circuit including the transistor Q3, the resistors R1 and R2, the amplifier AMP1, and the capacitor 33. Period P2 is a period in which the load is heavy and driven by the power output from the linear power supply circuit including the transistor Q3, the resistors R1 and R2, the amplifier AMP1, and the capacitor 33. For example, when a variable load is externally connected to the terminal VREG, the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 can be as follows Figure 4 Operate as shown.

[0044] The operation of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 during the period P1 is similar to Figure 3 The operations shown are the same.

[0045] During the period P2, even when the transistor Q1 is turned on, the voltage Vcpb continues to drop. When the voltage Vcpb drops to a third threshold value (e.g., 5.8V) that is less than the first threshold value, the switching control circuit 5 turns on the transistor Q2. Therefore, the terminals CPA and CPB are short-circuited to reduce the resistance value of the terminals CPA and CPB, so that the charging capacity of the charge pump circuit can be improved, and the voltage Vcpb is increased compared to the state in which the terminals CPA and CPB are not short-circuited.

[0046] When the voltage Vcpb rises to a fourth threshold value (e.g., 6V) greater than the third threshold value and less than the first threshold value, the switching control circuit 5 turns off the transistor Q2. Therefore, compared with the state in which the terminals CPA and CPB are short-circuited, the charging capability of the charge pump circuit is reduced, which reduces the voltage Vcpb during the period P2 but increases the voltage Vcpb during the period P3.

[0047] In other words, by providing a switching circuit (transistor Q2 in this embodiment) configured to switch between short-circuiting and non-shorting between terminals CPA and CPB, the charge pump circuit can handle a larger load. In the case where the charge pump circuit does not need to handle a larger load, the charge pump circuit may not include a switching circuit (transistor Q2 in this embodiment) configured to switch between short-circuiting and non-shorting between terminals CPA and CPB.

[0048] Figure 5 1 is a timing chart for explaining still another operation of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. Figure 5 , the voltage Vb, the voltage Vcpb, the voltage Vreg, the state of the transistor Q1, the state of the transistor Q2, and the current I_load flowing through the transistor Q1 are depicted from top to bottom. Figure 5 The voltage values ​​depicted in are merely examples and are not limited thereto.

[0049] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present invention, the voltage Vb gradually decreases (decreases). When the voltage Vb decreases below the first threshold value (for example, 6.8V), the voltage Vcpb does not increase even when the transistor Q1 is turned on. When the voltage Vcpb decreases to a third threshold value (for example, 5.8V) less than the first threshold value, the switching control circuit 5 turns on the transistor Q2. Therefore, the terminals CPA and CPB are short-circuited to reduce the resistance value of the terminals CPA and CPB, so that the charging capacity of the charge pump circuit can be improved, and the decrease of the voltage Vcpb is suppressed compared with the state in which the terminals CPA and CPB are not short-circuited.

[0050] When the voltage Vb drops below the target output voltage (e.g., 5 V) of the linear power supply circuit including the transistor Q3, the resistors R1 and R2, the amplifier AMP1, and the capacitor 33, the output voltage Vreg of the linear power supply circuit including the transistor Q3, the resistors R1 and R2, the amplifier AMP1, and the capacitor 33 becomes lower than the target output voltage.

[0051] By providing a switching circuit (transistor Q2 in the present embodiment) configured to switch between short-circuiting and non-shorting between terminals CPA and CPB, it is possible to improve the resistance of voltage Vb to voltage drop.

[0052] Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the voltage Vb applied to the terminal VB and the power consumption of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. Figure 6 , the horizontal axis represents the voltage Vb applied to the terminal VB, and the vertical axis represents the power consumption.

[0053] Figure 6 The thin solid line W1 in indicates the power supplied to the terminal VB, that is, the power consumption of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 and the resistor 31 . Figure 6 The thick solid line W2 in φ indicates the power consumption of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 .

[0054] When transistor Q2 is turned on, Figure 6 The thin solid line W1 in Figure 6 The thick solid line W2 in the figure coincides.

[0055] When the transistor Q2 is turned off, the power consumption of the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 becomes smaller than the power supplied to the terminal VB, and Figure 6 The thin solid line W1 and Figure 6 The difference between the thick solid line W2 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is the power consumed by the resistor 31 .

[0056] <Second Embodiment>

[0057] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of a motor system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 The illustrated motor system SYS2 includes a semiconductor integrated circuit device 12 , a motor 21 , a resistor 31 , and capacitors 32 and 33 .

[0058] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 12 has a configuration in which a transistor Q4 which is a P-channel MOSFET, a switch SW1 controlled by a charge and discharge control circuit 4, and a current source CS1 are added to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11. The transistors Q1 and Q4 constitute a current mirror circuit. When the switch SW1 is turned on, the current mirror circuit constituted by the transistors Q1 and Q4 supplies a mirror current that mirrors the output current of the current source CS1 to the terminal CPA.

[0059] In this embodiment, transistor Q1 is used as a current source. That is, in this embodiment, the current source is connected to terminal CPA. Therefore, the change of the voltage of terminal CPA becomes less steep, thereby reducing the ripple of voltage Vreg. Figures 3 to 5 , the waveform of the voltage Vreg is simplified, and illustration of the ripple of the voltage Vreg is omitted.

[0060] Similar to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 , the semiconductor integrated circuit device 12 can suppress heat generation inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 12 .

Figure 8 The illustrated motor system SYS3 includes a semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 , a motor 21 , a resistor 31 , and capacitors 32 and 33 .

[0063] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 is different from the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 in that the pre-driver 2 is configured to use the voltage Vreg as a power supply voltage, but is similar to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 in other respects.

[0064] Similar to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 , the semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 can suppress heat generation inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 .

[0065] <Fourth Embodiment>

[0066] Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a schematic configuration of a motor system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 The illustrated motor system SYS4 includes a semiconductor integrated circuit device 14 , a motor 21 , a resistor 31 , capacitors 32 and 33 , and a driver 3 .

[0067] The semiconductor integrated circuit device 14 is different from the semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 in that the driver 3 is externally connected, but is similar to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 13 in other respects.

[0068] Similar to the semiconductor integrated circuit device 11 , the semiconductor integrated circuit device 14 can suppress heat generation inside the semiconductor integrated circuit device 14 .
