A3977SLP Application Field and Working Principle

The A3977SLP is an integrated motor driver developed by Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., which is a multi-chip power integrated module designed to drive individual brush DC motors. This motor driver operates off of a single power supply and provides bidirectional control of one DC motor. The A3977SLP includes a full-bridge driver with embedded FETs, as well as a charge-pump circuit that provides high-efficiency power conversion from a single supply. The integrated circuit (IC) is also highly flexible, allowing for a wide range of applications.

Features and Benefits

The A3977SLP is designed to provide low power consumption, long range functionality and noise immunity in motor-control applications. The motor driver features many features to enhance performance:

• Wide range of motor voltages from 3.3V to 40V
• Low power operation using a single supply IC
• Built-in charge-pump for higher efficiency
• Independent half-bridge drivers for forward and reverse control
• Programmable current limit
• Thermal Shutdown for over-temperature protection
• Thermal Gradient Compensation to reduce thermal drift
• Flexible PWM and/or Direction/Enable mode operation

The A3977SLP motor driver is ideal for applications where precision motor control is required, such as robotics and automated equipment. It is also suitable for brushless DC motor control in applications such as ventilators, medical pumps and automatic power tools.

Working Principle

The A3977SLP motor driver provides bidirectional control of one DC motor. Two high current, full-bridge driver outputs are used to provide the full-on, full-off current to the motor. The logic inputs determine the direction of the motor and the frequency of the current. The logic control, direction, error signal and power connections all come together in a convenient sixteen-pin DIP package.

The A3977SLP includes a programmable current limit that can be set using the external resistor connected to the CURR_MON and GND pins. This is a useful feature for controlling the motor current, as it prevents damage to the integrated circuit by limiting the current flowing through the system. The CURR_MON and GND pins are used to measure the system current to ensure that the programmed current limit is not exceeded.

The integrated charge pump circuit uses the four control inputs (IN1, IN2, IN3 and IN4) to determine the direction of the motor and the frequency of the current. When IN1 is high, the current will flow through the motor in one direction, while when IN3 is high, the current will flow through the motor in the opposite direction. When IN4 is high, the charge pump will provide more current to the motor, and when IN2 is high, the charge pump will provide less current.

The A3977SLP includes a thermal shutdown circuit and a thermal gradient compensation circuit to prevent the device from overheating during operation. The thermal shutdown circuit will disable the device if the junction temperature exceeds the upper limit, and the thermal gradient compensation circuit will reduce thermal drift at higher temperatures.

Conclusion

The A3977SLP motor driver provides high performance, flexibility and low-power consumption in a convenient sixteen-pin DIP package. It is the perfect choice for motor-control applications requiring precise motor control, such as robotics and automated equipment. With its built-in charge-pump and programmable current limit, the A3977SLP is an ideal solution for controlling brush DC motors.
