Single-Ended Input Motor Driver
General Description
The LM4570 is a single supply motor driver for improved sen-
sory experience in mobile phones and other handheld de-
vices. The LM4570 is capable of driving up to 192mA while
operating from a 3V supply. Near rail-to-rail output swing un-
der load ensures sufficient voltage drive for most DC motors,
while the differential output drive allows the voltage polarity
across the motor to be reversed quickly. Reversing the volt-
age gives the LM4570 the ability to drive a motor both clock-
wise and counter clock-wise from a single supply.
The LM4570 features fast turn on time, and a wide input volt-
age range for precise speed control. A low power shutdown
mode minimizes power consumption.
Thermal and output short circuit protection prevents the de-
vice from being damaged during fault conditions.

Note 1: All voltages are measured with respect to the ground pin, unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions
which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters
where no limit is given; however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 3: The maximum power dissipation must be de-rated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJC, and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation is PDMAX = (TJMAX –TA)/ θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. For the LM4570, TJMAX = 150°
C and the typical θJA for the LLP package is 140°C/W.

Application Information
BRIDGE CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
The LM4570 uses a bridged architecture that drives a load
differentially. The BTL design offers several advantages over
a single-ended design. The device outputs, VO1 and VO2,
both source and sink current, which means that the polarity
of the voltage across the motor can be reversed quickly (Fig-
ure 2). A single-ended device would need to operate from split
supplies to achieve this behavior. The ability to reverse the
voltage polarity is necessary in applications where a negative
(reverse polarity) pulse is used to quickly stop the motor. If
the drive voltage is just removed from the motor (not reversed)
then the motor will continue to spin until the residual energy
stored in the windings has dissipated.
The output voltage of the LM4570 is determined by the dif-
ference between the input voltage and VREF1 , as well as the
differential gain of the device. The output voltage is given by
the following:
VO1–VO2 = AVD(VIN–VREF1)
For input voltages that are less than the reference voltage,
the differential output voltage is negative. For input voltages
that are greater than the reference voltage, the differential
output voltage is positive. For example, when operating from
a 5V supply (VREF1 = 2.5V) and with a differential gain of 6dB,
with a 1V input, the voltage measured across VO1 and VO2 is
-3V, with a 4V input, the differential output voltage is +3V.

GAIN SETTING
The resistors RIN and RF set the gain of the LM4570, given by:
VVD = 2 x (RF / RIN)
Where AVD is the differential gain. AVD differs from single-
ended gain by a factor of 2. This doubling is due to the
differential output architecture of the LM4570. Driving the load
differentially doubles the output voltage compared to a single-
ended output amplifier under the same conditions.
POWER DISSIPATION
The Power Dissipation vs. Supply Voltage graph in the Op-
erating Curves section shows the power dissipation of the
LM4570 with the input equal to the supply voltage, meaning
the outputs swing rail-to-rail. This configuration results in the
output devices of the LM4570 operating in the linear region,
essentially very small resistors determined by the RDS(ON) of
the output devices. Under these conditions, the power dissi-
pation is dominated by the I*R drop associated with the output
current across the RDS(ON) of the output transistors, thus the
power dissipation is very low (60mW for a 800mW output).
When the input voltage is not equal to GND or VDD, the power
dissipation of the LM4570 increases (Figure 3). Under these
conditions, the output devices operate in the saturation re-
gion, where the devices consume current in addition to the
current being steered to the load, increasing the power dissi-
pation. Power dissipation for typical motor driving applications
should not be an issue since the most of the time the device
outputs will be driven rail-to-rail.

EXPOSED-DAP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
The LM4570 is available in an 8-pin LLP package which fea-
tures an exposed DAP (die attach paddle). The exposed DAP
provides a direct thermal conduction path between the die
and the PCB, improving the thermal performance by reducing
the thermal resistance of the package. Connect the exposed
DAP to GND through a large pad beneath the device, and
multiple vias to a large unbroken GND plane. For best thermal
performance, connect the DAP pad to a GND plane on an
outside layer of the PCB. Connecting the DAP to a plane on
an inner layer will result in a higher thermal resistance. Ensure
efficient thermal conductivity by plugging and tenting the vias
with plating and solder mask, respectively.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
Good power supply bypassing is critical for proper operation.
Locate both the REF1 and VDD bypass capacitors as close to
the device as possible. Typical applications employ a regula-
tor with a 10µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitor and a ce-
ramic bypass capacitor which aid in supply stability. This does
not eliminate the need for bypass capacitors near the
LM4570. Place a 1µF ceramic capacitor as close to VDD as
possible. Place a 0.1µF capacitor as close to REF1 as pos-
sible. Smaller values of CREF1 may be chosen for decreased
turn on times.
SHUTDOWN FUNCTION
The LM4570 features a low power shutdown mode that dis-
ables the device and reduces quiescent current consumption
to 0.1µA. Driving /SD Low disables the amplifiers and bias
circuitry, and drives VREF1and the outputs to GND. Connect /
SD to VDD for normal operation.
