Designed for pulse-width modulated PWM current control of bipolar microstepping stepper motors, the A3973 is capable of continuous output currents to ±1 A and operating voltages to 35 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control timing circuitry can be programmed via a serial interface to operate in slow, fast, and mixed current-decay modes.

The desired load-current level is set via the serial port with two 6-bit linear DACs in conjunction with a reference voltage. The six bits of control allow maximum flexibility in torque control for a variety of step methods, from microstepping to full-step drive. Load current is set in increments of the maximum value.

Synchronous rectification circuitry allows the load current to flow through the low RDS on of the DMOS output driver during the current decay. This feature eliminates the need for external clamp diodes in most applications, saving cost and external component count, while minimizing power dissipation.

Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, transient-suppression diodes, and crossover-current protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required.

The B package is a 24-lead DIP with two copper batwing power tabs. The LB is a 24-lead SOICW with four internally fused leads for enhanced power dissipation. These power tabs and pins are at ground potential and need no electrical isolation. The A3973 B and LB packages are electrically identical.
