A3984SLPTR-T

The A3984SLPTR-T is a DMOS complete microstepping Motor Driver with built-in translator for easy operation. It is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter- and sixteenth-step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to 35V and ±2A. The A3984 includes a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in slow or mixed decay modes. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A3984. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives the motor one microstep. There are no phase sequence tables, high frequency control lines or complex interfaces to program. The A3984 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened.
