Allegro MicroSystems A3955SB/A3955SLB Full-Bridge PWM Microstepping Motor Driver Datasheet
The document provides a comprehensive technical overview of the A3955SB (DIP) and A3955SLB (SOIC) devices, which are designed to drive one winding of a bipolar stepper motor in microstepping modes. These electrically identical chips feature internal PWM current control combined with a three-bit nonlinear digital-to-analog converter.
