Description
The A3984 is a complete microstepping motor driver with
built-in translator for easy operation. It is designed to
operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and
sixteenth-step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to
35 V and ±2 A. The A3984 includes a fixed off-time current
regulator which has the ability to operate in Slow or Mixed
decay modes.
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A3984. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives
the motor one microstep. There are no phase sequence
tables, high frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to
program. The A3984 interface is an ideal fit for applications
where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is
overburdened.
The chopping control in the A3984 automatically selects
the current decay mode (Slow or Mixed). When a signal
occurs at the STEP input pin, the A3984 determines if
that step results in a higher or lower current in each of the
motor phases. If the change is to a higher current, then
the decay mode is set to Slow decay. If the change is to a
lower current, then the current decay is set to Mixed (set

initially to a fast decay for a period amounting to 31.25% of
the fixed off-time, then to a slow decay for the remainder of the
off-time). This current decay control scheme results in reduced
audible motor noise, increased step accuracy, and reduced power
dissipation.
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-on sequencing is not required.
The A3984 is supplied in a low-profile (1.2 mm maximum),
24-pin TSSOP with exposed thermal pad (package LP). It is lead
(Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.

Functional Description
Device Operation. The A3984 is a complete microstep-
ping motor driver with a built-in translator for easy operation
with minimal control lines. It is designed to operate bipolar
stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and sixteenth-step
modes. The currents in each of the two output full-bridges
and all of the N-channel DMOS FETs are regulated with
fixed off-time PMW (pulse width modulated) control cir-
cuitry. At each step, the current for each full-bridge is set by
the value of its external current-sense resistor (RS1 or RS2), a
reference voltage (VREF), and the output voltage of its DAC
(which in turn is controlled by the output of the translator).
At power-on or reset, the translator sets the DACs and the
phase current polarity to the initial Home state (shown in fig-
ures 2 through 5), and the current regulator to Mixed Decay
Mode for both phases. When a step command signal occurs
on the STEP input, the translator automatically sequences the
DACs to the next level and current polarity. (See table 2 for
the current-level sequence.) The microstep resolution is set
by the combined effect of inputs MS1 and MS2, as shown in
table 1.
When stepping, if the new output levels of the DACs are
lower than their previous output levels, then the decay mode
for the active full-bridge is set to Mixed. If the new output
levels of the DACs are higher than or equal to their previous
levels, then the decay mode for the active full-bridge is set
to Slow. This automatic current decay selection improves
microstepping performance by reducing the distortion of
the current waveform that results from the back EMF of the
motor.
RESET Input (RESET). The RESET input sets the
translator to a predefined Home state (shown in figures 2
through 5), and turns off all of the DMOS outputs. All STEP
inputs are ignored until the RESET input is set to high.
Step Input (STEP). A low-to-high transition on the STEP
input sequences the translator and advances the motor one
increment. The translator controls the input to the DACs and
the direction of current flow in each winding. The size of
the increment is determined by the combined state of inputs
MS1 and MS2.
Microstep Select (MS1 and MS2). Selects the micro-
stepping format, as shown in table 1. MS2 has a 50 kΩ pull-
down resistance. Any changes made to these inputs do not take
effect until the next STEP rising edge.
Direction Input (DIR). This determines the direction of
rotation of the motor. When low, the direction will be clock-
wise and when high, counterclockwise. Changes to this input
do not take effect until the next STEP rising edge.
Internal PWM Current Control. Each full-bridge is
controlled by a fixed off-time PWM current control circuit
that limits the load current to a desired value, ITRIP . Ini-
tially, a diagonal pair of source and sink DMOS outputs are
enabled and current flows through the motor winding and
the current sense resistor, RSx. When the voltage across RSx
equals the DAC output voltage, the current sense compara-
tor resets the PWM latch. The latch then turns off either the
source DMOS FETs (when in Slow Decay Mode) or the sink
and source DMOS FETs (when in Mixed Decay Mode).
The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selec-
tion of RSx and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transcon-
ductance function is approximated by the maximum value of
current limiting, ITripMAX (A), which is set by
ITripMAX = VREF / ( 8 RS )
where RS is the resistance of the sense resistor (Ω) and VREF
is the input voltage on the REF pin (V).
The DAC output reduces the VREF output to the current
sense comparator in precise steps, such that
Itrip = (%ITripMAX / 100) × ITripMAX
(See table 2 for %ITripMAX at each step.)
It is critical that the maximum rating (0.5 V) on the SENSE1
and SENSE2 pins is not exceeded.
Fixed Off-Time. The internal PWM current control cir-
cuitry uses a one-shot circuit to control the duration of time
that the DMOS FETs remain off. The one shot off-time, tOFF,
is determined by the selection of an external resistor con-
nected from the ROSC timing pin to ground. If the ROSC

pin is tied to an external voltage > 3 V, then tOFF defaults to 30 μs.
The ROSC pin can be safely connected to the VDD pin for this
purpose. The value of tOFF (μs) is approximately
tOFF = ROSC ⁄ 825
Blanking. This function blanks the output of the current sense
comparators when the outputs are switched by the internal current
control circuitry. The comparator outputs are blanked to prevent
false overcurrent detection due to reverse recovery currents of the
clamp diodes, and switching transients related to the capacitance of
the load. The blank time, tBLANK (μs), is approximately
tBLANK ≈ 1 μs
Charge Pump (CP1 and CP2). The charge pump is used to
generate a gate supply greater than that of VBB for driving the
source-side DMOS gates. A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor, should be
connected between CP1 and CP2. In addition, a 0.1 μF ceramic
capacitor is required between VCP and VBB, to act as a reservoir
for operating the high-side DMOS gates.
VREG (VREG). This internally-generated voltage is used to
operate the sink-side DMOS outputs. The VREG pin must be
decoupled with a 0.22 μF capacitor to ground. VREG is internally
monitored. In the case of a fault condition, the DMOS outputs of
the A3984 are disabled.
Enable Input (ENABLE). This input turns on or off all of the
DMOS outputs. When set to a logic high, the outputs are disabled.
When set to a logic low, the internal control enables the outputs as
required. The translator inputs STEP, DIR, MS1, and MS2, as well
as the internal sequencing logic, all remain active, independent of
the ENABLE input state.
Shutdown. In the event of a fault, overtemperature (excess TJ)
or an undervoltage (on VCP), the DMOS outputs of the A3984
are disabled until the fault condition is removed. At power-on, the
UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit disables the DMOS outputs
and resets the translator to the Home state.
Sleep Mode (SLEEP). To minimize power consumption when
the motor is not in use, this input disables much of the internal
circuitry including the output DMOS FETs, current regulator,
and charge pump. A logic low on the SLEEP pin puts the A3984
into Sleep mode. A logic high allows normal operation, as well as
start-up (at which time the A3984 drives the motor to the Home
microstep position). When emerging from Sleep mode, in order to
allow the charge pump to stabilize, provide a delay of 1 ms before
issuing a Step command.
Mixed Decay Operation. The bridge can operate in Mixed
Decay mode, depending on the step sequence, as shown in figures
3 thru 5. As the trip point is reached, the A3984 initially goes into
a fast decay mode for 31.25% of the off-time. tOFF. After that, it
switches to Slow Decay mode for the remainder of tOFF.
Synchronous Rectification. When a PWM-off cycle is
triggered by an internal fixed–off-time cycle, load current recir-
culates according to the decay mode selected by the control logic.
This synchronous rectification feature turns on the appropriate
FETs during current decay, and effectively shorts out the body
diodes with the low DMOS RDSON. This reduces power dissipa-
tion significantly, and can eliminate the need for external Schottky
diodes in many applications. Turning off synchronous rectification
prevents the reversal of the load current when a zero-current level is
detected.
