Allegro MicroSystems A3968SA/A3968SLB Dual Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver Datasheet
The A3968SA and A3968SLB are dual full-bridge PWM motor drivers designed to bidirectionally control two DC motors. 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.
