The CS3717A controls and drives
one phase of a bipolar stepper motor
with chopper control of the phase
current. Current levels may be
selected in three steps by means of
two logic inputs which select one of
three current comparators. When
both of these inputs are high the
device is disabled. A separate logic
input controls the direction of cur-
rent flow. A monostable, pro-
grammed by an external RC net-
work, sets the current decay time.
The power section is a full H-bridge
driver with four internal clamp
diodes for current recirculation. An
external connection to the lower
emitters is available for the insertion
of a sensing resistor. Two CS3717A’s
and several external components
form a complete stepper motor drive
subsystem.
The recommended operating ambient
temperature range is from 0° to 70°C.
The CS3717A is supplied in a 16 lead
PDIP.
