Description
Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control
of bipolar microstepping stepper motors, the A3973 is capable
of continuous output currents to ±1 A and operating voltages
to 35 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control timing
circuitry can be programmed via a serial interface to operate
in slow, fast, and mixed current-decay modes.
The desired load-current level is set via the serial port with
two 6-bit linear DACs in conjunction with a reference voltage.
The six bits of control allow maximum flexibility in torque
control for a variety of step methods, from microstepping to
full-step drive. Load current is set in 1.56% increments of the
maximum value.
Synchronous rectification circuitry allows the load current to
flow through the low R
DS(on)
of the DMOS output driver during
the current decay. This feature eliminates the need for external
clamp diodes in most applications, saving cost and external
component count, while minimizing power dissipation.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, transient-suppression diodes, and crossover-current
protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required.
The B package is a 24-lead DIP with two copper batwing power
tabs. The LB is a 24-lead SOICW with four internally fused
leads for enhanced power dissipation. These power tabs and
pins are at ground potential and need no electrical isolation.
The A3973 B and LB packages are electrically identical.
Packages:
Package B, 24-pin DIP with
two batwing power tabs
Package LB, 24 pin SOICW
