TEA3718
Stepper motor driver
Features
■ Half-step and full-step mode
■ Bipolar drive of stepper motor for maximum
motor performance
■ Built-in protection diodes
■ Wide range of current control 5 to 1500 mA
■ Wide voltage range 10 to 50 V
■ Designed for unstabilized motor supply voltage
■ Current levels can be selected insteps or
varied continuously
■ Thermal overload protection
■ Alarm output or pre-alarm output
Applications
The TEA3718 is a bipolar monolithic integrated
circuit intended to control and drive the current in
one winding of a bipolar stepper motor.
Description
The circuits consist of an LS-TTL compatible logic
input, a current sensor, a monostable and an
output stage with built-in protection diodes. Two
TEA3718 ICs and a few external components
form a complete control and drive unit for LS-TTL
or microprocessor-controlled stepper motor
systems.
