Overview

The A4980 is a flexible microstepping motor driver with built-in translator for easy operation. It is a single-chip solution, designed to operate bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter- and sixteenth-step modes, at up to 28 V and ±1.4 A.

  • Peak motor current up to ±1.4 A, 28 V
  • Low RDS(on) outputs, 0.5 Ω source and sink, typical
  • Automatic current decay mode detection/selection
  • Mixed, Fast, and Slow current decay modes
  • Synchronous rectification for low-power dissipation
  • Internal OVLO, UVLO, and Thermal Shutdown circuitry
  • Crossover-current protection
  • Short-circuit, and open-load diagnostics
  • Hot and cold thermal warning
  • Stall detect features
