DESCRIPTION
Step modes are selectable by MSx logic inputs. The A5985 introduces a proprietary Adaptive Percent Fast Decay (APFD) algorithm to optimize the current waveform over a wide range of stepper speeds and stepper motor characteristics.APFD adjusts on-the-fly the amount of fast decay during a PWM cycle to keep current ripple at a low level over the various operating conditions.
