Allegro MicroSystems A3966 Dual Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver Datasheet
The A3966SA and A3966SLB are dual full-bridge PWM motor drivers designed to drive both windings of a two-phase bipolar stepper motor. Each device includes two H-bridges capable of continuous output currents of +650 mA and operating voltages up to 30 V. Motor winding current is controlled by internal fixed-frequency pulse-width modulated (PWM) current-control circuitry.
