Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control of dc
motors, the A3948SB and A3948SLB are capable of continuous output
currents to
±1.5
A and operating voltages to 50 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. Similar devices with outputs rated to
±2
A are available as the
A3958SB/SLB.
PHASE and ENABLE input terminals are provided for use in
controlling the speed and direction of a dc motor with externally
applied PWM-control signals. The ENABLE input can be
programmed via the serial port to PWM the bridge in fast or slow
current decay. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is
provided to reduce power dissipation during PWM operation.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, and crossover-current protection. Special power-up
sequencing is not required.
The A3948SB/SLB is supplied in a choice of two power
packages, a 24-pin plastic DIP with a copper batwing tab (package
suffix ‘B’), and a 24-lead plastic SOIC with a copper batwing tab
(package suffix ‘LB’). In both cases, the power tab is at ground
potential and needs no electrical isolation.
