It is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and eighth-step modes. Step modes are selectable by MSx logic inputs. It has an output drive capacity of up to 35 V and ±2 A. The A4984 includes a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in Slow or Mixed decay modes. The ET package meets customer requirements for no smoke no fire (NSNF) designs by adding no-connect pins between critical output, sense, and supply pins. So, in the case of a pin-to-adjacent-pin short, the device does not cause smoke or fire. Additionally, the device does not cause smoke or fire when any pin is shorted to ground or left open. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A4984. 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 A4984 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened. 24-contact QFN with exposed thermal pad 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.75 mm (ES package) During stepping operation, the chopping control in the A4984 automatically selects the current decay mode, Slow or Mixed. 32-contact QFN with exposed thermal pad 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.90 mm (ET package) Continued on the next page… 24-pin TSSOP with exposed thermal pad (LP Package) Typical Application Diagram VDD 0.1 µF VREG ROSC 0.22 µF 0.1 µF 0.22 µF CP1 CP2 VCP VDD VBB2 5 kΩ Microcontroller or Controller Logic SLEEP STEP VBB1 OUT1A A4984 OUT1B SENSE1 MS1 MS2 DIR OUT2A ENABLE OUT2B RESET VREF 4984-DS, Rev. 5 GND GND SENSE2 100 µF DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator And Overcurrent Protection A4984 Description (continued) In Mixed decay mode, the device is set initially to a fast decay for a proportion of the fixed off-time, then to a slow decay for the remainder of the off-time. Mixed decay current control results in reduced audible motor noise, increased step accuracy, and reduced power dissipation. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal circuit protection includes: thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and crossover-current protection. Special power-on sequencing is not required. The A4984 is supplied in three surface mount packages: two QFN packages, the 4 mm × 4 mm, 0.75 mm nominal overall height ES package, and the 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.90 mm ET package. The LP package is a 24-pin TSSOP. All three packages have exposed pads for enhanced thermal dissipation, and are lead (Pb) free (suffix –T), with 100% matte tin plated leadframes.
