Each channel of the NJM3771 consists of the following sections: an H-bridge output stage, capable of driving up
to 650 mA continuous motor current (or 500 mA, both channels driven), a logic section that controls the output
transistors, an S-R flip-flop, and two comparators. The oscillator is common to both channels.

decreases until the clock oscillator triggers the flip-flop, which turns on the output transistors again, and the cycle is

to minimize core losses and switching noise.
Constant current control is achieved by switching the current to the windings. This is done by sensing the (peak)
The current-decay rate during the turn-off portion of the switching cycle, can be selected fast or slow by the CD
In slow current-decay mode, only one of the lower transistors in the H-bridge (those closest to the negative
In fast current decay mode, both the upper and lower transistors are switched. During the off-time, the freewheel-
