Designed for pulse-width modulated (PWM) current control of dc
motors, the A3958SB and A3958SLB are capable of continuous output
currents to ±2 A and operating voltages to 50 V. Internal fixed off-
time PWM current-control timing circuitry can be programmed via a
serial interface to operate in slow, fast, and mixed current-decay
modes.
PHASE and ENABLE input terminals are provided for use in
controlling the speed and direction of a dc motor with externally
applied PWM-control signals. The ENABLE input can be
programmed via the serial port to PWM the bridge in fast or slow
current decay. Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is
provided to reduce power dissipation during PWM operation.
Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with
hysteresis, and crossover-current protection. Special power-up
sequencing is not required.
The A3958SB/SLB is supplied in a choice of two power
packages, a 24-pin plastic DIP with a copper batwing tab (package
suffix ‘B’), and a 24-pin plastic SOIC with a copper batwing tab
(package suffix ‘LB’). In both cases, the power tab is at ground
potential and needs no electrical isolation. Each package type is
available in a lead-free version (100% matte tin leadframe).

Pb-based variants are being phased out of the product line. The variants cited in this
footnote are in production but have been determined to be LAST TIME BUY. This
classification indicates that sale of this device is currently restricted to existing
customer applications. The variants should not be purchased for new design
applications because obsolescence in the near future is probable. Samples are no
longer available. Status change: October 31, 2006. Deadline for receipt of LAST
TIME BUY orders: April 27, 2007. These variants include: A3958SB, A3958SLB and
A3958SLBTR.
