A3981 Datasheet Automotive Programmable Stepper Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

TheA3981 is a flexible microstepping motor driver with built-in translator for easy operation.

It is a single-chip solution, designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter- and sixteenth-step modes, at up to 28 V and ±1.4 A.

The A3981 can be controlled by simple Step and Direction inputs, or through the SPI-compatible serial interface that also can be used to program many of the integrated
