The A3967SLB 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 capabil-
ity of 30 V and 鹵750 mA. The A3967SLB includes a fixed off-time
current regulator that has the ability to operate in slow, fast, or mixed
current-decay modes. This current-decay control scheme results in
reduced audible motor noise, increased step accuracy, and reduced
power dissipation.
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A3967SLB. By simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input the
motor will take one step (full, half, quarter, or eighth depending on two
logic inputs). There are no phase-sequence tables, high-frequency
control lines, or complex interfaces to program. The A3967SLB
interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex 碌P is unavail-
able or over-burdened.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hyster-
esis, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and crossover-current protection.
Special power-up sequencing is not required.
The A3967SLB is supplied in a 24-lead SOIC with copper batwing
tabs. The tabs are at ground potential and need no insulation. A lead-
free (100% matte tin leadframe) version is also available.
