DUAL FULL-BRIDGE PWM MOTOR DRIVER

A3964SLB
Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control of bipolar
stepper motors, the A3964SB and A3964SLB are capable of continuous
output currents to
±
800 mA and operating voltages to 30 V. Internal fixed
off-time PWM current-control circuitry can be used to regulate the maximum
load current to a desired value. An internal precision voltage reference is
provided to improve motor peak-current control accuracy. The peak load
current limit is set by the user’s selection of an external resistor divider and
current-sensing resistors.
The fixed off-time pulse duration is set by user-selected external RC
timing networks. The capacitor in the RC timing network also determines a
user-selectable blanking window that prevents false triggering of the PWM
current control circuitry during switching transitions. This eliminates the
need for two external RC filter networks on the current-sensing comparator
inputs.
For each bridge the PHASE input controls load current polarity by
selecting the appropriate source and sink driver pair. For each bridge the
ENABLE input, when held high, disables the output drivers. Special power-
up sequencing is not required. Internal circuit protection includes thermal
shutdown with hysteresis, transient-suppression diodes, and crossover-current
protection.
The A3964SB is supplied in a 24-pin plastic DIP with copper heat sink
tabs; A3964SLB is supplied in a 20-lead plastic SOIC with copper heat sink
tabs. The power tabs are at ground potential and need no electrical isolation.

* Output current rating may be limited by duty cycle,
ambient temperature, and heat sinking. Under any set
of conditions, do not exceed the specified current rating
or a junction temperature of 150
C.
Fault conditions that produce excessive junction
temperature will activate the device

s thermal shutdown
circuitry. These conditions can be tolerated but should
be avoided.
