Functional Description
Device Operation. The A3983 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
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 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 (RS1 or 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 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.
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.
Microstep Select (MS1 and MS2). Selects the microstepping format, as shown in table 1. MS2 has a 100 k pulldown resistance. Any changes made to these inputs do not take
effect until the next STEP rising edge.
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.

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

Layout. The printed circuit board should use a heavy groundplane. For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the
A3983 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A3983 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.
