Supplementary Explanation
Principle of Functioning
The AN6657 and the AN6657S are the electronic
governors which control the motor speed constantly by
making use of the fact that the counter electromotive force
generated in the motor winding is proportional to the motor
speed when the DC motor rotates. They have two motor drive
systems which correspond to the forward and reverse
rotations, respectively. The inter-pin voltage of the motor Em
is given by the following expression.
Em = Ea + Ra Ia
Ea : Motor reverse electromotive voltage
Ra : Motor internal resistor
Ia : Motor current
There are the following relationships between the motor
reverse electromotive voltage Ea and Motor speed, and motor
torque T and motor current Ia, respectively.
Ea = Ka · N
T = K

In the expression (1), the inter-pin voltage of the motor Em
includes the voltage Ra · Ia which changes depending on
motor current Ia. The counter electromotive voltage Ea is
taken out by configuring the bridge circuit and used as a motor
speed signal. In Fig. 1, the motor speed N (
∝
motor generated
voltage Ea) in the motor control state can be expressed by the
following formula.
