Drop-in replacement for A4984 Proprietary Adaptive Percent Fast Decay option Low RDS(on) outputs Single supply Microstepping up to 32 microsteps per full step Full torque step modes Short-to-ground protection Shorted load protection Short-to-battery protection Fault output Low current Sleep mode, < 10 A No smoke no fire (NSNF) compliance (ET package) Thin profile QFN and TSSOP packages Thermal shutdown circuitry Synchronous rectification for low power dissipation Internal UVLO Crossover-current protection APPLICATIONS * Video Security Cameras * Printers * Scanners * Robotics * ATM * POS A5984 introduces a proprietary Adaptive Percent Fast Decay (APFD) algorithm to optimize the current waveform over a wide range of stepper speeds and stepper motor characteristics. APFD adjusts on-the-fly the amount of fast decay during a PWM cycle to keep current ripple at a low level over the various operating conditions. This adaptive feature improves performance of the system resulting in reduced audible motor noise, reduced vibration, and increased step accuracy. The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the A5984. 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 A5984 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened. 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.

It is designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, or thirty-secondth 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 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 the Phase Current Diagrams section), 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. Stepping Current Control The A5984 has two methods of current control. The first method of current control is called Adaptive Percent Fast Decay (APFD). APFD is selected by connecting pin ROSC to GND. Essentially, the IC determines the proper amount of fast decay on both rising and falling currents. By only adding fast decay when needed, the output current more accurately tracks the input command from the D-to-A converter and solves the basic problem of current discontinuity through zero when stepping at slow speeds (see Figure 4). This will result in a performance advantage for slow-speed high-resolution stepping such as with security camera applications. An additional benefit of APFD is reduced current ripple across the various operating conditions and motor characteristics. The other method of current control utilizes slow decay mode when current is rising and mixed decay mode (31.25%) when current is falling. This method is exactly the same as A4984 series of stepper motor drivers. This method may be desired for drop-in applications to A4984 series. The current waveform and motor performance should be identical to A4984. The mixed decay waveforms for this method are shown in Figure 2. This form of current control is selected by connecting pin ROSC to greater than 3 V or by connecting a resistor from ROSC to GND. The Resistor option is used to adjust the off-time as desired (see ROSC section). 100 Percent Torque Operation In full- and half-step modes, the device can be programmed so both phases are at 100% current levels for full step mode, and either 100% or 0% for half step mode. Microstep Select (MSx) The microstep resolution is set by the voltage on logic inputs MSx, as shown in Table 1. Each MSx pin has an internal 100 k pull-down resistance. When changing the step mode the change does not take effect until the next STEP rising edge. If the step mode is changed without a translator reset, and absolute position must be maintained, it is important to change the step mode at a step position that is common to both step modes in 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 the home position which is by default common to all step modes. Reset Input (RESET) SE T input sets the translator to a predefined Home state The RE (shown in Phase Current Diagrams section) and turns off all of the SE T input FET outputs. All STEP inputs are ignored until the RE is set to high.

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 the MSx inputs. 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 (s), is approximately Direction Input (DIR) This determines the direction of rotation of the motor. Setting to logic high and logic low set opposite rotational directions. Changes to this input do not take effect until the next STEP input rising edge. Refer to Phase Current diagrams (Figures 10 to 17). For DIR = LOW, currents change sequentially clockwise around the circle. For DIR = HIGH, counterclockwise.

It is critical that the maximum rating (0.5 V) on the SENSE1 and SENSE2 pins is not exceeded. or tolerance R, according to EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance) specifications. Enable Input (ENABLE) This input turns on or off all of the FET outputs. When set to a logic high, the outputs are disabled. When set to a logic low, the internal control enables the outputs as required. The translator inputs STEP, DIR, and MSx, as well as the internal sequencing N L E input state. logic, all remain active, independent of the E A B Sleep Mode (SLEEP) To minimize power consumption when the motor is not in use, SLEEP disables much of the internal circuitry including the Allegro MicroSystems 955 Perimeter Road Manchester, NH 03103-3353 U.S.A. www.allegromicro.com 12 A5984 DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator and Overcurrent Protection output FETs, current regulator, and charge pump. A logic low E E P pin puts the A5984 into Sleep mode. A logic high on the SL allows normal operation, as well as start-up (at which time the A5984 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. THERMAL OR UNDERVOLTAGE FAULT SHUTDOWN In the event of a fault, overtemperature (excess TJ) or an undervoltage (on VCP), the FET outputs of the A5984 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. Synchronous Rectification OVERCURRENT PROTECTION A current monitor will protect the IC from damage due to output shorts. If a short is detected, the IC will latch the fault and disable the outputs. The fault latch can only be cleared by coming out of Sleep mode or by cycling the power to VBB. During OCP events, Absolute Maximum Ratings may be exceeded for a short period of time before the device latches (see Figure 5). When a PWM-off cycle is 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 diodes with the low FET RDS(on). This reduces power dissipation significantly and can eliminate the need for external Schottky diodes in many applications. Synchronous rectification turns off when the load current approaches zero (0 A), preventing reversal of the load current. Protection Functions FAULT OUTPUT (nFAULT) An open drain fault output is provided to notify the user if the IC has been disabled due to an OCP event. If an OCP event is triggered the device will be disabled and the outputs will be latched off. The active low nFAULT output will be enabled. The latch can E E P or R E SE T low, or by bringing be reset by commanding SL VBB below its UVLO threshold. 5 A / div.

For optimum electrical and thermal performance, the A5984 must be soldered directly onto the board. On the underside of the A5984 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 (see Figure 6). 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 A5984, 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. A5984 The two input capacitors should be placed in parallel, and as close to the device supply pins as possible (see Figure 8). The ceramic capacitor (C7) should be closer to the pins than the bulk capacitor (C2). 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. Solder Trace (2 oz.) Signal (1 oz.) Ground (1 oz.) PCB Thermal (2 oz.)
