DESCRIPTION
The A5976 is a complete microstepping motor driver with
built-in translator. It is designed to operate bipolar stepper
motors in full-, half-, quarter-, and sixteenth-step modes, with
output drive capability of 40 V and ±2.8 A. The A5976 includes
a fixed off-time current regulator that has the ability to operate in
slow-, fast-, or mixed-decay modes. This current-decay control
scheme results in reduced audible motor noise, increased step
accuracy, and reduced power dissipation.
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A5976. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives the
motor one step (two logic inputs determine if it is a full-, half-,
quarter-, or sixteenth-step). There are no phase sequence tables,
high-frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program.
The A5976 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a
complex microprocessor is unavailable or overburdened.
Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided
to improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal
circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis,
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and crossover-current
protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required.
The A5976 is supplied in a thin (<1.2 mm) 28-pin TSSOP
with an exposed thermal pad (suffix LP). The package is lead
(Pb) free (suffix -T), with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.

A5976
Microstepping DMOS Driver with Translator
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Device Operation
Internal PWM Current Control
The A5976 is a complete microstepping motor driver with builtin 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 current in each of the two
output full-bridges, all N-channel DMOS, is regulated with fixed
off-time pulse-width modulated (PWM) control circuitry. The
full-bridge current at each step is set by the value of an external
current-sense resistor (RS), a reference voltage (VREF), and the
output voltage of its DAC (which in turn is controlled by the
output of the translator).
Each full-bridge is controlled by a fixed off-time PWM currentcontrol circuit that limits the load current to an appropriate
level (ITRIP). Initially, a diagonal pair of source and sink DMOS
outputs are enabled, and current flows through the motor winding and the current-sense resistor, RS. When the voltage across
RS rises to the DAC output voltage, the current-sense comparator
resets the PWM latch, which turns off the source driver (in slowdecay mode) or the sink and source drivers (in fast- or mixeddecay mode).
At power-up, or reset, the translator sets the DACs and phase
current polarity to the initial home state (see figures for homestate conditions), and sets the current regulator for both phases to
mixed-decay mode. When a step command signal occurs on the
STEP input, the translator automatically sequences the DACs to
the next level (see Table 2 for the current level sequence and current polarity). The microstep resolution is set by inputs MS1 and
MS2 as shown in Table 1. If the new DAC output level is lower
than the previous level, the decay mode for that full-bridge will
be set by the PFD input (fast, slow, or mixed decay). If the new
DAC level is higher or equal to the previous level, then the decay
mode for that full-bridge will be slow decay. This automatic
current-decay selection will improve microstepping performance
by reducing the distortion of the current waveform due to the
motor BEMF.
The DECAY input determines how the decay mode is selected
when stepping the motor. If the DECAY input is high, when stepping, if the new output levels of the DACs are higher than or equal
to their previous levels, then the decay mode for that full-bridge is
set to slow. If the DECAY input is high and the new output levels
of the DACs are lower than their previous output levels, then the
decay mode for that full-bridge is set by the state of the PFD input
(see PFD input description). 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 DECAY input is low, then the decay mode is always set by
the state of the PFD input (see PFD input description). See Figure 6
on page 13 and Figure 7 on page 14 for decay mode detail.
The maximum level of current limiting is set by the selection of
RS and the voltage at the VREF input with a transconductance
function approximated by:
ITRIPmax = VREF / (8 × RS)
The DAC output reduces the VREF output to the current-sense
comparator in precise steps (see Table 2 for % ITRIPmax at each
step).
ITRIP = (% ITRIPmax / 100) × ITRIPmax
It is critical to ensure that the maximum rating on the SENSE
terminal is not exceeded (0.5 V). For full-step mode, VREF can be
applied up to the maximum rating of VDD, because the peak sense
value is 0.707 × VREF / 8. In all other modes, VREF should not
exceed 4 V.
Fixed Off-Time
The internal PWM current-control circuitry uses a one-shot to
control the time that the drivers remain off. The one-shot offtime, tOFF, is determined by the selection of an external resistor (RT) and capacitor (CT) connected between the RC timing
terminal and ground. The off-time, over a range of values of CT
= 470 pF to 1500 pF and RT = 12 kΩ to 100 kΩ is approximated
by:
tOFF = RT × CT

A5976
Microstepping DMOS Driver with Translator
RC Blanking
In addition to the fixed off-time of the PWM control circuit, the
CT component sets the comparator blanking time. This function blanks the output of the current-sense comparator when the
outputs are switched by the internal current-control circuitry. The
comparator output is blanked to prevent false overcurrent detection due to reverse-recovery currents of the clamp diodes, and/
or switching transients related to the capacitance of the load. The
blank time, tBLANK, can be approximated by:
tBLANK = 1400 × CT
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 state of
inputs MS1 and MS2 (see Table 1).
Microstep Select (MS1 and MS2)
Input terminals MS1 and MS2 select the microstepping format
per Table 1. Changes to these inputs do not take effect until the
STEP command.
Direction Input (DIR)
The state of the DIR input will determine the direction of rotation
of the motor.
DECAY Input
DECAY is a logic input that determines how the decay mode is
selected when stepping the motor. If the DECAY input is high
and a step is made such that new output levels of the DACs are
higher than or equal to their levels during the previous step, then
the decay mode for that full-bridge is set to slow. If the DECAY
input is high and a step is made such that new output levels of the
DACs are lower than their levels during the previous step, then
the decay mode for that full-bridge is determined by the PFD
input (see PFD input description). If the DECAY input is low,
then the decay mode is always determined by the PFD input (see
PFD input description).
is selected. If the voltage on the PFD input is less than 0.21 ×
VDD, then fast-decay is selected. Mixed-decay is selected when
the voltage on the PFD input is between these two levels. This
terminal should be decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
Mixed-Decay Operation
If the voltage on the PFD input is between 0.6 × VDD and 0.21
× VDD, the bridge will operate in mixed-decay mode for control steps when the output current decay is user-selectable (see
DECAY Input section). As the trip point is reached, the bridge
will go into fast-decay mode until the voltage on the RC terminal
decays to the voltage applied to the PFD terminal. The time the
bridge remains in fast decay is approximated by:
tFD = RT × CT × In (0.6 × VDD / VPFD)
After this fast-decay portion, tFD, the bridge will switch to slowdecay mode for the remainder of the fixed off-time period.
Reset Input (RESETn)
The RESETn input (active low) sets the translator to a predefined
home state (see figures for home state conditions) and turns off
all of the DMOS outputs. All STEP inputs are ignored until the
RESETn input goes high.
Fault Output (FAULTn)
The FAULTn terminal is an open-drain output which is pulled
low when an OCP condition exists. An OCP is latched until the
device is reset via the RESETn terminal or the voltage on VBB is
cycled.
Synchronous Rectification
When a PWM off-cycle is triggered by an internal current control, load current will recirculate according to the decay mode
selected by the control logic. The A5976 synchronous rectification feature will turn on the appropriate MOSFETs during the
current decay and effectively short out the body diodes with the
low RDS(ON) driver. This will reduce power dissipation significantly and eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes for
most applications. Reversal of the current in the motor winding
is prevented when using this mode by turning off synchronous
rectification if the current in the winding decays to zero.
Percent Fast-Decay Input (PFD)
Enable Input (ENABLEn)
Slow-, fast-, or mixed-decay is selected according to the voltage
level at the PFD input, for control steps when the output current
decay is user-selectable (see DECAY Input section). If the voltage at the PFD input is greater than 0.6 × VDD, then slow-decay
This active-low input enables all of the DMOS outputs. When
logic-high, the outputs are disabled. Inputs to the translator (STEP, DIR, MS1, MS2) are all active independent of the
ENABLEn input state.

A5976
Microstepping DMOS Driver with Translator
Sleep Mode (SLEEPn)
Shutdown
This active-low input is used to minimize power consumption
when the device is not in use. Sleep mode disables much of the
internal circuitry, including the output DMOS, regulator, and
charge pump. A logic-high allows normal operation and a rising
edge on this input resets the translator to the home position.
When coming out of sleep mode, 1 ms is required before issuing
a STEP command, to allow the charge pump to stabilize.
In the event of a fault (excessive junction temperature, or low
voltage on VCP or VREG), the outputs of the device are disabled until the fault condition is removed. At power-up, and in
the event of low VDD, the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit
disables the drivers and resets the translator to the home position.
Charge Pump (CP1 and CP2)
If any FET’s current exceeds IOCP for longer than the blank time,
all FETs are disabled and remain latched off until the device is
reset via the RESETn input or the voltage on VBB is cycled. The
FAULTn output is pulled low when an overcurrent condition
exists. RSENSE is not required for low-side OCP to function and
the OCP threshold is independent of the RSENSE value.
The charge pump is used to generate a gate supply greater than
VBB to drive the source-side DMOS gates. A 0.22 µF ceramic
capacitor is required between CP1 and CP2, and a 0.22 µF
ceramic capacitor is required between VCP and VBB. VCP is
internally monitored, and in the case of a fault condition, the
outputs of the device are disabled.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
VREG
This internally generated voltage is used to operate the sink-side
DMOS gates. The VREG terminal should be decoupled with
a 0.22 µF capacitor to ground. VREG is internally monitored,
and in the case of a fault condition, the outputs of the device are
disabled.

All pads a minimum of 0.20 mm from all adjacent pads; adjust as necessary
to meet application process requirements and PCB layout tolerances; when
mounting on a multilayer PCB, thermal vias at the exposed thermal pad land
can improve thermal dissipation (reference EIA/JEDEC Standard JESD51-5)
