NJM3774
DUAL STEPPER MOTOR DRIVER
s
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NJM3774 is a switch-mode (chopper), constant-
current driver with two channels: one for each winding of a
two-phase stepper motor. The NJM3774 is equipped with a
TTL level compatible Disable input to simplify half-stepping
operation. The circuit is well suited for microstepping
applications together with the matching dual DAC
NJU39610. In full/half stepping applications, the NJM3517
can be used as a phase generator (translator) to derive the
necessary signals for the NJM3774. The NJM3774 con-
tains a clock oscillator, which is common for both driver
channels, a set of comparators and flip-flops implementing
the switching control, and two output H-bridges. Voltage
supply requirements are +5 V for logic and +10 to +45 V for
the motor. Maximum output current is 1000mA per channel.
