Description
Designed to provide the motor driver and power supply
requirements for printers and office automation equipment.
This integrated power IC incorporates two high current,
high performance, full bridge outputs, capable of 1.5 A at
50 V. Additionally two power supply rails are provided for
microprocessor or DSP supplies. A switching buck regulator
steps the supply down to a low voltage output that is adjustable
from 3.3 to 5 V. This voltage can be used to supply external 5 V
rails, it also feeds back into the part and supplies the integrated
linear regulator which is adjustable from 1 to 2.5 V.
The A3998 serial port provides flexible configuration for
the dual full bridge motor driver. Two full bridges can be
programmed to control one stepper motor or two DC motors.
Both bridges have integrated fixed off-time PWM control with
programmable decay mode selection.
The A3998 is supplied in a low profile, 32-contact QFN,
5 × 5 mm, 0.90 mm nominal height, with exposed thermal pad
(suffix ET). The package is lead (Pb) free with 100% matte-tin
leadframe plating.
