External components
The voltage across the sensing resistor is fed back to the comparator via a low-pass filter section, to prevent
erroneous switching due to switching transients. The recommended filter component values, 1 kohm and 820 pF,
are suitable for a wide range of motors and operational conditions.

from the motor, while increasing the frequency results in higher switching losses and possibly increased iron losses

Motor selection
The NJM3771 is designed for bipolar motors, i.e., motors that have only one winding per phase. A unipolar motor,
having windings with a center tap, can also be used, see figure 8.
scheme imposes certain restrictions on motor selection. Unstable chopping can occur if the chopping duty cycle
exceeds approximately 50%. To avoid this, it is necessary to choose a motor with a low winding resistance. Low
winding resistance means less inductance and will therefore enable higher stepping rates, however it also means
less torque capability. A compromise has to be made.

used together with the NJM3771 have voltage ratings of 5 to 12 V, while the supply voltage usually ranges from 24
to 40 V.
Since the low-pass filtering action introduces a small delay of the signal to the comparator, peak voltage across
The time constant of the low-pass filter may therefore be reduced to minimize the delay and optimize low-current
