Description
TCA 3727 is a bipolar, monolithic IC for driving bipolar stepper motors, DC motors and
other inductive loads that operate on constant current. The control logic and power
output stages for two bipolar windings are integrated on a single chip which permits
switched current control of motors with 0.75 A per phase at operating voltages up to
50 V.

The direction and value of current are programmed for each phase via separate control
inputs. A common oscillator generates the timing for the current control and turn-on with
phase offset of the two output stages. The two output stages in a full-bridge configuration
have integrated, fast free-wheeling diodes and are free of crossover current. The logic is
supplied either separately with 5 V or taken from the motor supply voltage by way of a
series resistor and an integrated Z-diode. The device can be driven directly by a
microprocessor with the possibility of all modes from full step through half step to mini
step.

Input Phase 1;
controls the current through phase winding 1. On
H-potential the phase current flows from Q11 to Q12, on L-potential in
the reverse direction.

Inhibit input;
the IC can be put on standby by low potential on this
pin. This reduces the current consumption substantially.
Input phase 2;
controls the current flow through phase winding 2. On
H-potential the phase current flows from Q21 to Q22, on L potential in
the reverse direction.
