L9942 Datasheet Integrated stepper motor driver

Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics

General Description

The L9942 is an integrated stepper motor driver for bipolar stepper motors with microstepping and programmable current profile look-up-table to allow a flexible adaptation of the stepper motor characteristics and intended operating conditions.

It is possible to use different current profiles depending on target criteria: audible noise, vibrations, rotation speed or torque.

The decay mode used in PWM-current control circuit can be programmed to slow-, fast-, mixed-and autodecay.
