Points to Take into Consideration When Designing 
(1) For shutter control   Constant current setting (RFG, OUT1, OUT2) 
The constant current when flowing the current from OUT2 to OUT1 can be specified by a resistor connected 
between RFG and GND. The reference voltage is generated in the IC and it is approximately 0.21V. The voltage 
is controlled in such a way so that the voltage generated at the resistor used for current detection connected 
between RFG and GND would be equal to this voltage. 
The formula for calculating the output current is as given below. In addition, as a fundamental setting, it is 
designed so that the approx. 200mA would flow through the coil when RFG resistor is connected with 1
. 
(Current flows from OUT2 to OUT1)  
= 0.21V
÷
(Resistance between RFG and GND+0.05
) - (Drive current of output Tr) 
This 0.05
 is for a common impedance of the output Tr emitter which drives constant current in the RFG pin and 
the sensing wiring for the constant current control amplifier. 
Also, the drive current of output Tr is equal to 1/hfe (a 80th to 200th part approx.) of the coil current. 
The constant current flowed from OUT2 to OUT1 is more accurate than that flowed from OUT1 to OUT2. 
Therefore make sure to use this method for shutter closing drive. 
 (2) For shutter control   Open-loop constant current control setting (ILM, OUT1, OUT2)  
In order to prevent the high-current flowing when shutter opening, the output current control circuit is 
implemented for current flowing from OUT1 to OUT2. The constant current when flowing the current from 
OUT1 to OUT2 can be specified by a resistor connected between ILM and GND. 
The formula for calculating the output current is as given below. 
(Current flows from OUT1 to OUT2) = 1.36V

Due to open-loop control by which feedback signals are not sent, the accuracy of constant current is relatively 
inferior. It is used for shutter opening drive. 
(3) Phase compensation capacitor (FC) 
See and check the capacitor value for FC pin between 0.0015 to 0.033
μ
F. Choose a capacitance value which does 
not cause oscillation problems for output. In particular, when a coil with large inductance is used, it is necessary 
to choose a sufficiently large capacitance. 
(4) Constant voltage control   Oscillation-stopping capacitor (OUT4, OUT8) 
When controlling the constant voltages, it is necessary to place capacitors between the OUT pins to stop 
oscillation. See and check the capacitance value between 0.01
μ
F to 0.1
μ
F. Choose a capacitance value which 
does not cause oscillation problems for output. 
When driving at saturation, there is no need for such oscillation-stopping capacitors. 
(5) GND wiring and power line capacitors : (GND

Connect GND (2 places) near the IC, and place the capacitors as close as possible to each of the power pins.
