The A4983 is a complete microstepping motor driver with
built-in translator for easy operation. It is designed to operate
bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, eighth-, and
sixteenth-step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to
35 V and ±2 A. The A4983 includes a fixed off-time current
regulator which has the ability to operate in Slow or Mixed
decay modes.
Low RDS(ON) outputs
Automatic current decay mode detection/selection
Mixed and Slow current decay modes
Synchronous rectification for low power dissipation
Internal UVLO
Crossover-current protection
3.3 and 5 V compatible logic supply
Very thin profile QFN package
Thermal shutdown circuitry
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A4983. 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 A4983 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a
complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened.
The chopping control in the A4983 automatically selects the
current decay mode (Slow or Mixed). When a signal occurs at
the STEP input pin, the A4983 determines if that step results
in a higher or lower current in each of the motor phases. If
the change is to a higher current, then the decay mode is set
to Slow decay. If the change is to a lower current, then the
current decay is set to Mixed (set initially to a fast decay for
a period amounting to 31.25% of the fixed off-time, then to a

A4983
DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator
Functional Description
Device Operation. The A4983 is a complete microstepping Microstep Select (MS1, MS2, and MS3). Selects the
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-, eighth-, and sixteenth-step
modes. The currents in each of the two output full-bridges and
all of the N-channel DMOS FETs are regulated with fixed offtime 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 (RS1 and RS2), a reference voltage (VREF), 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 2
through 6), 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, MS2, and MS3, 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 Mixed. 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 Slow. 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.
If the logic circuits are pulled up to VDD, it is good practice to
use a high value pull-up resistor in order to limit current to the
logic inputs, should an overvoltage event occur. Logic inputs
include: MSx, SLEEP, DIR, ENABLE, RESET, and STEP.
RESET Input (RESET). The RESET input sets the translator to a predefined Home state (shown in figures 2 through
6), and turns off all of the FET outputs. All STEP inputs are
ignored until the RESET input is set to high.
Step 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,
MS2, and MS3.
microstepping format, as shown in table 1. MS2 and MS3 have a
100 kΩ pull-down resistance. Any changes made to these inputs
do not take effect until the next STEP rising edge.
If the MSx pins are pulled up to VDD, it is good practice to use a
high value pull-up resistor in order to limit current to these pins,
should an overvoltage event occur.
Direction Input (DIR). This determines the direction of
rotation of the motor. When low, the direction will be clockwise
and when high, counterclockwise. 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, ITRIP . Initially, a
diagonal pair of source and sink FET outputs are enabled and
current flows through the motor winding and the current sense
resistor, RSx. When the voltage across RSx equals the DAC output voltage, the current sense comparator resets the PWM latch.
The latch then turns off either the source FETs (when in Slow
Decay Mode) or the sink and source FETs (when in Mixed
Decay Mode).
The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection
of RSx and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance
function is approximated by the maximum value of current
limiting, ITripMAX (A), which is set by
ITripMAX = VREF / ( 8
 RS)
where RS is the resistance of the sense resistor (Ω) and VREF is
the input voltage on the REF pin (V).
The DAC output reduces the VREF output to the current sense
comparator in precise steps, such that
Itrip = (%ITripMAX / 100)
× ITripMAX
(See table 2 for %ITripMAX 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 one shot off-time, tOFF, is determined by the selection of an external resistor connected from the
ROSC timing pin to ground. If the ROSC pin is tied to an external
voltage > 3 V, then tOFF defaults to 30 μs. The ROSC pin can be
safely connected to the VDD pin for this purpose. The value of
tOFF (μs) is approximately
tOFF ≈ ROSC ⁄ 825
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, tBLANK (μs), is approximately
Shutdown. In the event of a fault, overtemperature (excess TJ)
or an undervoltage (on VCP), the FET outputs of the A4983 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.
Sleep Mode (SLEEP). 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 SLEEP pin puts the A4983 into Sleep
mode. A logic high allows normal operation, as well as start-up
(at which time the A4983 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
Step command.
If the SLEEP pin is pulled up to VDD, it is good practice to use
a high value pull-up resistor in order to limit current to the pin,
should an overvoltage event occur.
tBLANK ≈ 1 μs
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.

Mixed Decay Operation. The bridge can operate in Mixed
Decay mode, depending on the step sequence, as shown in figures
3 through 6. As the trip point is reached, the A4983 initially goes
into a fast decay mode for 31.25% of the off-time. tOFF. After that,
it switches to Slow Decay mode for the remainder of tOFF. A timing dagram for this feature appears on the next page.
Synchronous Rectification. When a PWM-off cycle is
to operate the sink-side FET outputs. The VREG pin must be
decoupled with a 0.22 μF ceramic capacitor to ground. VREG
is internally monitored. In the case of a fault condition, the FET
outputs of the A4983 are disabled.
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

Grounding In order to minimize the effects of ground bounce
and offset issues, it is important to have a low impedance singlepoint ground, known as a star ground, located very close to the
device. By making the connection between the exposed thermal
pad and the groundplane directly under the A4983, 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 recommended PCB layout shown
in the diagram below, illustrates how to create a star ground
under the device, to serve both as low impedance ground point
and thermal path.
VREG
Layout The printed circuit board should use a heavy groundplane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the
A4983 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4983 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. Thermal vias
should not have any thermal relief and should be connected to
internal layers, if available, to maximize the dissipation area.
