DUAL FULL-BRIDGE PWM

MOTOR DRIVER

The A3966SA and A3966SLB are designed to drive both windings of a

two-phase bipolar stepper motor. Each device includes two H-bridges
capable of continuous output currents of ±650 mA and operating voltages to
30 V. Motor winding current can be controlled by the internal fixed-fre-

quency, pulse-width modulated (PWM), current-control circuitry. The peak
load current limit is set by the user’s selection of a reference voltage and
current-sensing resistors. Except for package style and pinout, the two
devices are identical.

2

The fixed-frequency pulse duration is set by a user-selected external
RC timing network. 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.

To reduce on-chip power dissipation, the H-bridge power outputs have
been optimized for low saturation voltages. The sink drivers feature Allegro’s
patented Satlington™ output structure. The Satlington outputs combine the
low voltage drop of a saturated transistor and the high peak current capability
of a Darlington.

For each bridge, a PHASE input controls load-current polarity by
selecting the appropriate source and sink driver pair. For each bridge, an
ENABLE input, when held high, disables the output drivers. Special power­up sequencing is not required. Internal circuit protection includes thermal
shutdown with hysteresis, ground-clamp and flyback diodes, and crossover­current protection.

The A3966SA is supplied in a 16-pin dual in-line plastic package. The
A3966SLB is supplied in a 16-lead plastic SOIC with copper heat sink tabs.
The power tab is at ground potential and needs no electrical isolation.
