Device Operation.
stepping 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 (all of the N-channel MOSFETs) are regulated
with fixed off-time PMW (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
or R
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 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.
While stepping is occurring, if the next output level of the
DACs is lower than the immediately preceeding output
level, then the decay mode (Fast, Slow, or Mixed) for the
active full bridge is set by the PFD input. If the next DAC
output level is higher than or equal to the preceeding level,
then the decay mode for that full bridge will be Slow decay.
This automatic current-decay selection improves microstep-
ping performance by reducing the distortion of the current
waveform due to back EMF of the motor.

in figures 2 through 5), and turns off all of the DMOS out-
puts. The HOME output goes low and all STEP inputs are
ignored until the ¯ R ¯ ¯ E ¯ ¯ S ¯ ¯ E ¯ ¯ T ¯ input is set to high.

Step Input
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 (see table 1).
Microstep Select
terminals MS1 and MS2 selects the microstepping format,
as shown in table 1. Any changes made to these inputs do not
take effect until the next rising edge of a step command signal
on the STEP input.
Direction Input
mines the direction of rotation of the motor. Any changes
made to this input does not take effect until the next rising
edge of a step command signal on the STEP input.
