A4988
DMOS Microstepping Driver with Translator
And Overcurrent Protection
Description (continued)
Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided
to improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal
circuit protection includes: thermal shutdown with hysteresis,
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and crossover-current protection.
Special power-on sequencing is not required.
The A4988 is supplied in a surface mount QFN package (ES), 5 mm
× 5 mm, with a nominal overall package height of 0.90 mm and an
exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free
(suffix –T), with 100% matte tin plated leadframes.
