A3952S is a full-bridge PWM motor driver with bidirectional pulse-width modulated current control. It is capable of continuous output currents to ±2 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal fixed off-time PWM current-control circuitry can be used to regulate the maximum load current to a desired value. The peak load current limit is set by the user’s selection of an input reference voltage and external sensing resistor. The fixed OFF-time pulse duration is set by a user-selected external RC timing network. Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, transient suppression diodes, and crossover- current protection. Special power-up sequencing is not required. With the ENABLE input held low, the PHASE input controls load current polarity by selecting the appropriate source and sink driver pair. The MODE input determines whether the PWM current-control circuitry operates in a slow current-decay mode (only the selected sink driver switching) or in a fast current-decay mode (selected source and sink switching). A user-selectable blanking window prevents false triggering of the PWM current control circuitry. With the ENABLE input held high, all output drivers are disabled. A sleep mode is provided to reduce power consumption when inactive. When a logic low is applied to the BRAKE input, the braking function is enabled. This overrides ENABLE and PHASE to turn OFF both source drivers and turn ON both sink drivers.
