Description
The A4983 is a complete microstepping motor driver with
built-in translator for easy operation. It is designed to operate
bipolar stepper motors in full-, half-, quarter-, eighth-, and
sixteenth-step modes, with an output drive capacity of up to
35 V and ±2 A. The A4983 includes a fixed off-time current
regulator which has the ability to operate in Slow or Mixed
decay modes.
The translator is the key to the easy implementation of the
A4983. Simply inputting one pulse on the STEP input drives
the motor one microstep. There are no phase sequence tables,
high frequency control lines, or complex interfaces to program.
The A4983 interface is an ideal fit for applications where a
complex microprocessor is unavailable or is overburdened.
The chopping control in the A4983 automatically selects the
current decay mode (Slow or Mixed). When a signal occurs at
the STEP input pin, the A4983 determines if that step results
in a higher or lower current in each of the motor phases. If
the change is to a higher current, then the decay mode is set
to Slow decay. If the change is to a lower current, then the
current decay is set to Mixed (set initially to a fast decay for
a period amounting to 31.25% of the fixed off-time, then to a

The A4983 is supplied in a 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.90 nominal surface
mount QFN package with exposed thermal pad (suffix ET). The
package is lead (Pb) free (suffix –T), with 100% matte tin plated
leadframe.

control scheme results in reduced audible motor noise, increased
step accuracy, and reduced power dissipation.
Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to
improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal circuit
protection includes: thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage
