Description
The A3981 is a flexible microstepping motor driver with built-in
translator for easy operation. It is a single-chip solution, designed
to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter- and
sixteenth-step modes, at up to 28 V and ±1.4 A. The A3981
can be controlled by simple Step and Direction inputs, or
through the SPI-compatible serial interface that also can be
used to program many of the integrated features and to read
diagnostic information.
The current regulator can be programmed to operate in fixed
off-time or fixed frequency PWM, with several decay modes
to reduce audible motor noise and increase step accuracy.
In addition the phase current tables can be programmed via
the serial interface to create unique microstep current
profiles to further improve motor performance for
specific applications.
The current in each phase of the motor is controlled through a
DMOS full bridge, using synchronous rectification to improve
power dissipation. Internal circuits and timers prevent cross-
conduction and shoot-through, when switching between high-
side and low-side drives.
The outputs are protected from short circuits, and features
for low load current and stalled rotor detection are included.
Chip-level protection includes: hot and cold thermal warnings,
overtemperature shutdown, and overvoltage and undervoltage
lockout.
The A3981 is supplied in a 28-pin TSSOP power package with
an exposed thermal pad (package type LP). This package is
lead (Pb) free with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
