A3955 Datasheet FULL-BRIDGE PWM MICROSTEPPING MOTOR DRIVER

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

The A3955 is designed to drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor in a microstepping mode.

The outputs are rated for continuous output currents to ±1.5 A and operating voltages to 50V.

Internal pulse width modulated (PWM) current control combined with an internal three-bit nonlinear digitalto-analog converter allows the motor current to be controlled in full-, half-, quarter-, or eighth-step (microstepping) modes.
