A5979 Description
The A5979 is a plete 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 A5979 includes a fixed off-time current regulator that has the ability to operate in slow-, fast-, or mixed-decay modes.
