A3972屬于集成電路（IC）的電機驅動器控制器。由Allegro MicroSystems制造生產(chǎn)的A3972電機驅動器，控制器產(chǎn)品屬于電機驅動器和控制器電源管理集成電路 (PMIC) 系列，可用于控制或操作從某電源施加到電機或相關機電執(zhí)行器的電源。所實現(xiàn)的具體功能和特性集根據(jù)預期負載和預期應用的特性有很大差異，范圍從用于有刷電機的簡單開環(huán)速度控制到基于步進電機的高級閉環(huán)運動控制。

DUAL DMOS FULL-BRIDGE MICROSTEPPING PWM MOTOR DRIVER

Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control of bipolar microstepping stepper motors, the A3972SB is capable of continuous output currents to ±1.5 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control timing circuitry can be programmed via a serial interface to operate in slow, fast, and mixed current-decay modes.

The desired load-current level is set via the serial port with two 6-bit linear DACs in conjunction with a reference voltage. The six bits of control allow maximum flexibility in torque control for a variety of step methods, from microstepping to full-step drive. Load current is set in 1.56 increments of the maximum value.
