Product Specification

A3977 Microstepping DMOS Driver with Translator CHIP

Description                                                                                                            

The A3977 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 35 V and ±2.5 A. The A3977 includes a fixed off-time current regulator that has the ability to operate in slow-, fast-, or mixed-decay modes. This currentdecay 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 A3977. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives the motor one step (two logic inputs determine if it is a full-, half-, quarter-, or eighth-step). There are no phase-sequence tables, high-frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program. The A3977 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or overburdened.

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-up sequencing is not required. The A3977 is supplied in a thin (<1.2 mm) 28-pin TSSOP with an exposed thermal pad (suffix LP).

The A3977 is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating

Applications                                                                                                        

When a PWM off-cycle is triggered by an internal fixed off-time cycle, load current will recirculate according to the decay mode selected by the control logic. The A3977 synchronous rectification feature will turn on the appropriate MOSFETs during the current decay and effectively short out the body diodes with the low RDS(on) driver. This will reduce power dissipation significantly and eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes for most applications. The synchronous rectification can be set in either active mode or disabled mode. Active Mode When the SR input is logic low, active mode is enabled and synchronous rectification will occur. This mode prevents reversal of the load current by turning off synchronous rectification when a zero current level is detected. This prevents the motor winding from conducting in the reverse direction. Disabled Mode When the SR input is logic high, synchronous rectification is disabled. This mode is typically used when external diodes are required to transfer power dissipation from the A3977 package to the external diodes

Quality Assurance                                                                                              

1: Before the products are put into storage, we will preliminarily verify the external packaging,labels,

quantity, etc. of the products;

2: After the preliminary inspection, the products will enter the inspection waiting area,and thenwe will

use professional equipment for inspection Equipment such as X-RAY gold sample detection, silk

screen contrast detection with magnifying glass, and alcohol detection,The silk screen shall be

checked, and the qualified ones shall be printed and put into storage.

3: The product will be stored in a constant temperature and humidity environment, and aspecially

assigned person will check, confirm and record it every day.

4: Before the products are delivered from the warehouse, the first and second tests will be repeated

according to the customer's order to ensure that the outgoing products reviewthe customer's

requirements.
