Description

The A4987 is a dual DMOS full-bridge stepper motor driver with parallel input communication and overcurrent protection. Each full-bridge output is rated up to 35 V and ±1 A. The A4987 includes fixed off-time pulse width modulation (PWM) current regulators, along with 2- bit nonlinear DACs (digital-to-analog converters) that allow stepper motors to be controlled in full, half, and quarter steps.
