A3992 Overview
Designed for pulse width modulated (PWM) current control of bipolar microstepped stepper motors, the A3992 is capable of continuous output currents to ±1.5 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current control timing circuitry can be programmed via the serial interface to operate in slow, fast, or mixed decay modes. The desired load current level is set via the serial port with two six bit...
