MICROSTEPPING DRIVER
WITH TRANSLATOR
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 capability of 30 V and ±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 µP is unavailable or over-burdened.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, 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.

Device Operation. The A3967 is a complete
microstepping motor driver with built in translator for
easy operation with minimal control lines. It is designed
to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarterand eighth-step modes. The current in each of the two
output H-bridges is regulated with fixed off time pulsewidth modulated (PWM) control circuitry. The H-bridge
current at each step is set by the value of an external
current sense resistor (R
), a reference voltage (V
S
REF
), and
the DAC’s output voltage controlled by the output of the
translator.
At power up, or reset, the translator sets the DACs and
phase current polarity to initial home state (see figures for
home-state conditions), and sets the current regulator for
both phases to mixed-decay mode. When a step command
signal occurs on the STEP input the translator automatically sequences the DACs to the next level (see table 2 for
the current level sequence and current polarity). The
microstep resolution is set by inputs MS
and MS2 as
1
shown in table 1. If the new DAC output level is lower
than the previous level the decay mode for that H-bridge
will be set by the PFD input (fast, slow or mixed decay).
If the new DAC level is higher or equal to the previous
level then the decay mode for that H-bridge will be slow
decay. This automatic current-decay selection will
improve microstepping performance by reducing the
distortion of the current waveform due to the motor
BEMF.
Reset Input (RESET). The RESET input (active low)
sets the translator to a predefined home state (see figures
for home state conditions) and turns off all of the outputs.
STEP inputs are ignored until the RESET input goes high.
Step Input (STEP). A low-to-high transition on the
STEP input sequences the translator and advances the
motor one increment. The translator controls the input to
the DACs and the direction of current flow in each winding. The size of the increment is determined by the state
of inputs MS
and MS2 (see table 1).

table 1. Changes to these inputs do not take effect until
the STEP command (see figure).
Direction Input (DIR). The state of the DIRECTION
input will determine the direction of rotation of the motor.
Internal PWM Current Control. Each H-bridge is
controlled by a fixed off time PWM current-control circuit
that limits the load current to a desired value (I
TRIP
).
Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink outputs are
enabled and current flows through the motor winding and
. When the voltage across the current-sense resistor
R
S
equals the DAC output voltage, the current-sense comparator resets the PWM latch, which turns off the source
driver (slow-decay mode) or the sink and source drivers
(fast- or mixed-decay modes).
The maximum value of current limiting is set by the
selection of R
and the voltage at the V
S
input with a

transconductance function approximated by:
