Device Operation.
motor driver with a built-in translator for easy operation
with minimal control lines. It is designed to operate bipolar
stepper motors in full- and half-step modes. The currents in
each of the two output full-bridges and all of the N-channel
DMOS FETs are regulated with fixed off-time PMW (pulse
width modulated) control circuitry. At each step, the current
for each full-bridge is set by the value of its external current-
sense resistor (R
the output voltage of its DAC (which in turn is controlled by
the output of the translator).
At power-on or reset, the translator sets the DACs and the
phase current polarity to the initial Home state (shown in
figures 2 and 3), and the current regulator to Mixed Decay
Mode for both phases. When a step command signal occurs
on the STEP input, the translator automatically sequences
the DACs to the next level and current polarity. (See table 2
for the current-level sequence.) The step resolution is set by
input MS1, as shown in table 1.
When stepping, if the new output levels of the DACs are
lower than their previous output levels, then the decay mode
for the active full-bridge is set to Mixed. If the new output
levels of the DACs are higher than or equal to their previous
levels, then the decay mode for the active full-bridge is set to
Slow. This automatic current decay selection improves step-
ping performance by reducing the distortion of the current
waveform that results from the back EMF of the motor.
