Description
The A4982 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-, and sixteenth-step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to 35 V and 2 A. The A4982 includes a fixed off-time current regulator which has the ability to operate in Slow or Mixed decay modes. The ET package meets customer requirements for no smoke no fire (NSNF) designs by adding no-connect pins between critical output, sense, and supply pins. So, in the case of a pin-to-adjacent-pin short, the device does not cause smoke or fire. Additionally, the device does not cause smoke or fire when any pin is shorted to ground or left open. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A4982. 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 A4982 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened. During stepping operation, the chopping control in the A4982 automatically selects the current decay mode, Slow or Mixed. In Mixed decay mode, the device is set initially to a fast decay for a proportion of the fixed off-time, then to a slow decay for the remainder of the off-time. Mixed decay current control

Functional Description
Device Operation. The A4982 is a complete microstepping
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 resolution modes. The currents in each of the two output full-bridges and all of the N-channel DMOS FETs are regulated with fixed off-time 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 10 through 13), 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 the MSx inputs, 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.
Direction Input (DIR). This determines the direction of rotation of the motor. Changes to this input do not take effect until the next STEP rising edge.
trolled 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 Microstep Select (MS1 and MS2). The microstep resolution is set by the voltage on logic inputs MS1 and MS2, as shown turns off either the source FET (when in Slow decay mode) or the sink and source FETs (when in Mixed decay mode). in table 1. MS1 has a 100 k pull-down resistance, and MS2 has a 33.3 k pull-down resistance. When changing the step mode the The maximum value of current limiting is set by the selection of change does not take effect until the next STEP rising edge. RSx and the voltage at the VREF pin. The transconductance function is approximated by the maximum value of current limiting, If the step mode is changed without a translator reset, and absoITripMAX (A), which is set by lute position must be maintained, it is important to change the step mode at a step position that is common to both step modes in ITripMAX = VREF / ( 8 RS) order to avoid missing steps. When the device is powered down, or reset due to TSD or an overcurrent event the translator is set to where RS is the resistance of the sense resistor () and VREF is the home position which is by default common to all step modes. the input voltage on the REF pin (V).

(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 off-time, tOFF , is determined by the ROSC terminal. The ROSC terminal has three settings:
ROSC tied to VDD off-time internally set to 30 s, decay mode is automatic Mixed decay except when in full step where decay mode is set to Slow decay ROSC tied directly to ground off-time internally set to 30 s, current decay is set to Mixed decay for both increasing and decreasing currents, except in full step where decay mode is set to Slow decay. (See Low Current Microstepping section.) ROSC through a resistor to ground off-time is determined by the following formula , the decay mode is automatic Mixed decay for all step modes. tOFF ROSC 825 Where tOFF is in s.
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 F ceramic capacitor, should be connected between CP1 and CP2. In addition, a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor is required between VCP and VBB, to act as a reservoir for operating the high-side FET gates.
Capacitor values should be Class 2 dielectric 15% maximum, or tolerance R, according to EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications. operate the sink-side FET outputs. The nominal output voltage of the VREG terminal is 7 V. The VREG pin must be decoupled with a 0.22 F ceramic capacitor to ground. VREG is internally monitored. In the case of a fault condition, the FET outputs of the A4982 are disabled. Capacitor values should be Class 2 dielectric 15% maximum, or tolerance R, according to EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications. ). This input turns on or off all of the Enable Input ( E N A B L E FET outputs. When set to a logic high, the outputs are disabled.

Shutdown. In the event of a fault, overtemperature (excess TJ) or an undervoltage (on VCP), the FET outputs of the A4982 are disabled until the fault condition is removed. At power-on, the When the two outputs are shorted together, the current path is through the sense resistor. After the blanking time (1 s) expires, UVLO (undervoltage lockout) circuit disables the FET outputs the sense resistor voltage is exceeding its trip value, due to the and resets the translator to the Home state.

). To minimize power consumption Sleep Mode ( S L E E P 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 S L E E P pin puts the A4982 into Sleep mode. A logic high allows normal operation, as well as start-up (at which time the A4982 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.

Layout. Typical application circuits and layouts are shown in figures 8 (LP package) and 9 (ET package).The printed circuit board should use a heavy groundplane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the A4982 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A4982 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. In order to minimize the effects of ground bounce and offset issues, it is important to have a low impedance single-point ground, known as a star ground, located very close to the device. By making the connection between the pad and the ground plane directly under the A4982, 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 two input capacitors should be placed in parallel, and as close to the device supply pins as possible. The ceramic capacitor (CIN1) should be closer to the pins than the bulk capacitor (CIN2). This is necessary because the ceramic capacitor will be responsible for delivering the high frequency current components. The sense resistors, RSx , should have a very low impedance path to ground, because they must carry a large current while supporting very accurate voltage measurements by the current sense comparators. Long ground traces will cause additional voltage drops, adversely affecting the ability of the comparators to accurately measure the current in the windings. The SENSEx pins have very short traces to the RSx resistors and very thick, low impedance traces directly to the star ground underneath the device. If possible, there should be no other components on the sense circuits.
