A3985 Description
The A3985 is a flexible dual full-bridge gate driver suitable for driving a wide range of higher power industrial bipolar 2-phase stepper motors or 2-phase brushless dc motors. It can also be used to drive two individual torque motors or solenoid actuators. Motor power is provided by external N-channel power MOSFETs at supply voltages from 12 to 50.
