A3906 Datasheet Low Voltage Stepper and Single/Dual DC Motor Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) control of low voltage stepper motors, and single and dual DC motors, the A3906 is capable of output currents up to 1 A per channel and operating voltages from 2.5 to 9 V.

The A3906 has an internal fixed off-time PWM timer that sets a peak current based on the selection of a current sense resistor.

An overcurrent output flag is provided that notifies the user when the current in the motor winding reaches the peak current determined by the sense resistor.
