Bipolar Stepper Motor Drivers
Allegro MicroSystems offers a full line of stepper motor driver and pre-driver ICs. These devices feature easy to use two wire step and
direction translator interfaces as well as industry standard parallel or serial control. Microstepping positioning is available with
resolutions from full step to 16
microsteps per step. Microstepping
results in increased step accuracy and
less resonance issues which results in
lower audible noise. Safety features
include thermal shutdown, undervoltage
lockout and over current protection.

Brush DC Motor Drivers
Brush DC motors are the most widely used drivers due to
their low cost and simple drive control options.
Typical brush DC motor drivers consist of a half bridge for
a single direction operation and an H-bridge configuration
for bidirectional control. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
control can be used to regulate motor speed, torque, or
position.
Available Features:
• Low standby current for energy efficiency
• Internal DMOS outputs or gate controllers to drive external MOSFETs
• Parallel interfaces with forward, reverse, coast, and brake modes
• Commercial grade and fully automotive qualified drivers
• Small footprint and reduced external components
• Strong protection and diagnostic features
Key Applications:
