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 A4982 includes a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in or decay modes. The ET package meets customer requirements for no smoke no fire (NSNF) designs by adding no-connect pins between critical output, sense, and supply pins. So, in the case of a pin-to-adjacent-pin short, the device does not cause smoke or fire. Additionally, the device does not cause smoke or fire when any pin is shorted to ground or left open. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A4982. 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 A4982 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened. During stepping operation, the chopping control in the A4982 automatically selects the current decay mode, or. In decay mode, the device is set initially to a fast decay for a proportion of the fixed off-time, then to a slow decay for the remainder of the off-time. decay current control Continued on the next page Typical Application Diagram V DD 0.22 µf 0.1 µf 0.1 µf 0.22 µf 5 kω VREG VDD ROSC CP1 CP2 VCP VBB1 VBB2 100 µf Microcontroller or Controller Logic SLEEP STEP MS1 A4982 OUT1A OUT1B SENSE1 MS2 DIR ENABLE RESET VREF OUT2A OUT2B SENSE2 4982-DS Rev. 5

Functional Description Device Operation. The A4982 is a complete microstepping 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 resolution 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 PWM (pulse width modulated) control circuitry. At each step, the current for each full-bridge is set by the value of its external current-sense resistor (R S1 and R S2 ), a reference voltage (V REF ), 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 Figures 10 through 13), and the current regulator to 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 the MSx inputs, 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. 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. 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. Microstep Select (MS1 and MS2). The microstep resolution is set by the voltage on logic inputs MS1 and MS2, as shown in Table 1. MS1 has a 100 kω pull-down resistance, and MS2 has a 33.3 kω pull-down resistance. When changing the step mode the change does not take effect until the next STEP rising edge. If the step mode is changed without a translator reset, and absolute position must be maintained, it is important to change the step mode at a step position that is common to both step modes in order to avoid missing steps. When the device is powered down, or reset due to TSD or an overcurrent event the translator is set to the home position which is by default common to all step modes. Low Current Microstepping. Intended for applications where the minimum on-time prevents the output current from regulating to the programmed current level at low current steps. To prevent this, the device can be set to operate in decay mode on both rising and falling portions of the current waveform. This feature is implemented by shorting the ROSC pin to ground. In this state, the off-time is internally set to 30 µs. Reset Input ( R Ē S Ē T ). The R Ē S Ē T input sets the translator to a predefined Home state (shown in Figures 10 through 13), and turns off all of the FET outputs. All STEP inputs are ignored until the R Ē S Ē T input is set to high. 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. Direction Input (DIR). This determines the direction of rotation of the motor. 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, I TRIP. Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink FET outputs are enabled and current flows through the motor winding and the current sense resistor, R Sx. When the voltage across R Sx equals the DAC output voltage, the current sense comparator resets the PWM latch. The latch then turns off either the source FET (when in decay mode) or the sink and source FETs (when in decay mode). The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of R Sx and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance function is approximated by the maximum value of current limiting, I TripMAX (A), which is set by I TripMAX = V REF / ( 8 R S ) where R S is the resistance of the sense resistor (Ω) and V REF is the input voltage on the REF pin (V). 7

The DAC output reduces the V REF output to the current sense comparator in precise steps, such that I trip = (%I TripMAX / 100) I TripMAX (See Table 2 for %I TripMAX 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 circuitry uses a one-shot circuit to control the duration of time that the DMOS FETs remain off. The off-time, t OFF, is determined by the ROSC terminal. The ROSC terminal has three settings: ROSC tied to VDD off-time internally set to 30 µs, decay mode is automatic decay except when in full step where decay mode is set to decay ROSC tied directly to ground off-time internally set to 30 µs, current decay is set to decay for both increasing and decreasing currents. ROSC through a resistor to ground off-time is determined by the following formula, the decay mode is automatic decay for all step modes. t OFF R OSC 825 Where t OFF is in µs. 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, t BLANK (µs), is approximately t BLANK 1 µs Shorted-Load and Short-to-Ground Protection. If the motor leads are shorted together, or if one of the leads is shorted to ground, the driver will protect itself by sensing the overcurrent event and disabling the driver that is shorted, protecting the device from damage. In the case of a short-to-ground, the device will remain disabled (latched) until the S L Ē Ē P input goes high or VDD power is removed. A short-to-ground overcurrent event is shown in Figure 4. When the two outputs are shorted together, the current path is through the sense resistor. After the blanking time ( 1 µs) expires, the sense resistor voltage is exceeding its trip value, due to the overcurrent condition that exists. This causes the driver to go into a fixed off-time cycle. After the fixed off-time expires the driver turns on again and the process repeats. In this condition the driver is completely protected against overcurrent events, but the short is repetitive with a period equal to the fixed off-time of the driver. This condition is shown in Figure 5. If the driver is operating in decay mode, it is normal for the positive current to spike, due to the bridge going in the forward direction and then in the negative direction, as a result of the direction change implemented by the decay feature. This is shown in Figure 6. In both instances the overcurrent circuitry is protecting the driver and prevents damage to the device. 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 FET 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 FET gates. Capacitor values should be Class 2 dielectric ±15% maximum, or tolerance R, according to EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications. V REG (VREG). This internally-generated voltage is used to operate the sink-side FET outputs. The nominal output voltage of the VREG terminal is 7 V. The VREG pin must be decoupled with a 0.22 µf ceramic capacitor to ground. V REG is internally monitored. In the case of a fault condition, the FET outputs of the A4982 are disabled. Capacitor values should be Class 2 dielectric ±15% maximum, or tolerance R, according to EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications. Enable Input (Ē N Ā B L Ē ). This input turns on or off all of the FET 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 Ē N Ā B L Ē input state. Shutdown. In the event of a fault, overtemperature (excess T J ) or an undervoltage (on VCP), the FET outputs of the A4982 are disabled until the fault condition is removed. At power-on, the UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit disables the FET outputs and resets the translator to the Home state. 9

Sleep Mode ( S L Ē Ē P ). To minimize power consumption when the motor is not in use, this input disables much of the internal circuitry including the output FETs, current regulator, and charge pump. A logic low on the S L Ē Ē P pin puts the A4982 into Sleep mode. A logic high allows normal operation, as well as start-up (at which time the A4982 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 command. 5 A / div. Fault latched Decay Operation. The bridge operates in decay mode, at power-on and reset, and during normal running according to the ROSC configuration and the step sequence, as shown in Figures 10 through 13. During decay, when the trip point is reached, the A4982 initially goes into a fast decay mode for 31.25% of the off-time, t OFF. After that, it switches to decay mode for the remainder of t OFF. A timing diagram for this feature appears in Figure7. Typically, mixed decay is only necessary when the current in the winding is going from a higher value to a lower value as determined by the state of the translator. For most loads automatically-selected mixed decay is convenient because it minimizes ripple when the current is rising and prevents missed steps when the current is falling. For some applications where microstepping at very low speeds is necessary, the lack of back EMF in the winding causes the current to increase in the load quickly, resulting in missed steps. This is shown in Figure 2. By pulling the ROSC pin to ground, mixed decay is set to be active 100% of the time, for both rising and falling currents, and prevents missed steps as shown in Figure 3. If this is not an issue, it is recommended that automatically-selected mixed decay be used, because it will produce reduced ripple currents. Refer to the Fixed Off-Time section for details. Synchronous Rectification. When a PWM-off cycle is triggered by an internal fixed-off-time cycle, load current recirculates 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 FET R DS(ON). This reduces power dissipation significantly, and can eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes in many applications. Synchronous rectification turns off when the load current approaches zero (0 A), preventing reversal of the load current. t Figure 4: Short-to-Ground Event 5 A / div. 5 A / div.

Application Layout Layout. Typical application circuits and layouts are shown in Figures 8 (LP package) and 9 (ET package).the printed circuit board should use a heavy groundplane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the A4982 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4982 package is an exposed pad, which provides a path for enhanced thermal dissipation. The thermal pad should be soldered directly to an exposed surface on the PCB. Thermal vias are used to transfer heat to other layers of the PCB. In order to minimize the effects of ground bounce and offset issues, it is important to have a low impedance single-point ground, known as a star ground, located very close to the device. By making the connection between the pad and the ground plane directly under the A4982, that area becomes an ideal location for a star ground point. A low impedance ground will prevent ground bounce during high current operation and ensure that the supply voltage remains stable at the input terminal. The two input capacitors should be placed in parallel, and as close to the device supply pins as possible. The ceramic capacitor (CIN1) should be closer to the pins than the bulk capacitor (CIN2). This is necessary because the ceramic capacitor will be responsible for delivering the high frequency current components. The sense resistors, RSx, should have a very low impedance path to ground, because they must carry a large current while supporting very accurate voltage measurements by the current sense comparators. Long ground traces will cause additional voltage drops, adversely affecting the ability of the comparators to accurately measure the current in the windings. The SENSEx pins have very short traces to the RSx resistors and very thick, low impedance traces directly to the star ground underneath the device. If possible, there should be no other components on the sense circuits. PCB Thermal Vias A4982 Solder Trace (2 oz.) Signal (1 oz.) Ground (1 oz.) Thermal (2 oz.)
