cation in the Functional Description section):
VREG.
0.22 μF capacitor to ground. This internally gener-
ated supply voltage is used to run the sink side DMOS
outputs. VREG is internally monitored and in the
case of a fault condition, the outputs of the device are
disabled.
Current Regulation.
by analog input to the REF terminal, or via the internal
2 V precision reference. The choice of reference volt-
age and selection of sense resistor set maximum trip
current, as follows:
Microstepping current levels are set according to the
following equations:
where DAC is the input code, 1 to 63 (Word 0, D1 to
D12), and Range is 4 or 8, as selected by Word 0, D18.
Programming a DAC input code to 0 disables the cor-
responding bridge, and results in minimum load current.

are disabled, the charge pump turned off, and the de-
vice consumes a lower supply current. The undervolt-
age monitor circuit remains active.
PWM signals to the control block. In mixed decay
mode, the fi rst portion of the off-time operates in fast
decay, until the fast decay time count is reached, fol-
lowed by slow decay for the remainder of the fi xed
off-time. If the fast decay time is set longer than the off-
time, the device effectively operates in fast decay mode.

input, typically 4 MHz. The A3992 can be confi gured
to select either the 4 MHz internal oscillator or, if
more precise accuracy is required, an external clock
can be connected to the OSC terminal. If an external
clock is used, 3 internal divider choices are selectable
via the serial port to allow fl exibility in choosing f
based on available system clocks. If the internal oscil-
lator option is used, the absolute accuracy is dependent
on process variation of resistance and capacitance.
A precision resistor can be connected from the OSC
terminal to V

If the internal oscillator is used without the external re-
sistor the OSC terminal should be connected to GND.
