DESCRIPTION
The A3977 is a complete microstepping motor driver with
built-in translator. It is designed to operate bipolar stepper
motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and eighth-step modes, with
output drive capability of 35 V and ±2.5 A. The A3977 includes
a fixed off-time current regulator that has the ability to operate in
slow-, fast-, or mixed-decay modes. This current-decay control
scheme results in reduced audible motor noise, increased step
accuracy, and reduced power dissipation.
Package: 28-pin TSSOP (suffix LP) with
Exposed Thermal Pad
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A3977. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives the
motor one step (two logic inputs determine if it is a full-, half-,
quarter-, or eighth-step). There are no phase-sequence tables,
high-frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program.
The A3977 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a
complex microprocessor is unavailable or overburdened.
Internal synchronous-rectification control circuitry is provided
to improve power dissipation during PWM operation.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and crossover-
current protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required.
The A3977 is supplied in a thin (<1.2 mm) 28-pin TSSOP with
an exposed thermal pad (suffix LP). The A3977 is lead (Pb)
free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
