A3988 Overview
The A3988 is a quad DMOS full-bridge driver capable of driving up to two stepper motors or four DC motors. Each full-bridge output is rated up to 1.2 A and 36 V. The A3988 includes fixed off-time pulse width modulation (PWM) current regulators, along with 2- bit nonlinear DACs (digital-to-analog converters) that allow stepper motors to be controlled in full, half, and quarter steps, and DC motors in forward,...
