Allegro MicroSystems A3985 Digitally Programmable Dual Full-Bridge MOSFET Driver Datasheet
The A3985 is a flexible dual full-bridge gate driver suitable for driving a wide range of higher power industrial bipolar 2-phase stepper motors or 2-phase brushless DC motors. It features a serial interface for full digital control, allowing programming of off-time, blank-time, dead-time, mixed decay ratios, and synchronous rectification. Motor power is provided by external N-channel power MOSFETs at supply voltages from 12 to 50 V.
The device includes internal circuit protection such as thermal shutdown with hysteresis and undervoltage lockout. It is supplied in a 38-pin TSSOP package (suffix LD) with 100% matte tin leadframe plating. The component is designed for applications requiring precise current control and efficient operation.
