A4989 Datasheet Dual Full-Bridge MOSFET Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

The A4989 is a dual full-bridge gate driver with integrated microstepping translator suitable for driving a wide range of higher power industrial bipolar two-phase stepper motors (typically 30 to 500 W).

Motor power is provided by external N-channel power MOSFETs at supply voltages from 12 to 50 V.

This device contains two sinusoidal DACs that generate the reference voltage for two separate fixed off-time PWM current controllers.
