A3965
DMOS Dual Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver
Not for New Design
These parts are in production but have been determined to be
NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that sale of
this device is currently restricted to existing customer applications.
The device should not be purchased for new design applications
because obsolescence in the near future is probable. Samples are no
longer available.
Date of status change: November 1, 2004
Recommended Substitutions:
The A3965 is a fairly unique device within Allegro’s portfolio, typically
fitting niche low-voltage, battery-driven stepper motor applications.
Our closest recommended alternatives are:
• For customers looking for a stepper motor driver for battery-driven
applications, we recommend the
A3977,
A3982, A3983, or A3984.
• The closest device functionally is the
A3966,
if supply current and a
low logic voltage (4.75 to 5.5 V) are not issues.
NOTE: For detailed information on purchasing options, contact your
local Allegro field applications engineer or sales representative.

PRELIMINARY DATASHEET - 12/4/2002
(Subject to change without notice)
DMOS DUAL FULL-BRIDGE
PWM MOTOR DRIVER
Designed for Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) current control of low
voltage stepper motors, the A3965S is capable of output currents to
±
500 mA
and operating voltages to 20 V.
The A3965 is particularly attractive for low power or battery
operated motors where minimal power consumption is desired. A SLEEP
mode disables all circuitry and typically draws less than 1µA supply current
from motor and logic supply. During operation the fixed frequency ON
pulses of each H-bridge are 180 degrees out of phase to minimize the peak
demand required of the motor supply allowing savings in size and cost of
external power supply components.
PHASE and ENABLE input terminals are provided for use in
controlling the speed and direction of a stepper motor with externally applied
PWM control signals.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, undervoltage monitoring of V
DD
and charge pump, and crossover
current protection. Special power up sequencing is not required.
The A3965 is supplied in a 24-lead plastic SOIC with a copper
batwing tab (suffix ‘LB’).
