4) Internal PWM current control
5) Low output saturation voltage
6) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
7) 3-bit nonlinear DAC

The AM6289 motor driver is designed to drive both windings of a bipolar stepper motor or to control bidirectionally
two DC motors. Both bridges are capable of sustaining 28V and include internal pulse-width modulation (PWM)
control of the output current to 1.5A. The outputs have been optimized for a low output saturation voltage drop (less
than 1.8V total source plus sink at 850mA).
For PWM current control, the maximum output current is determined by the user’s selection of a reference voltage
and sensing resistor. Three-bit nonlinear digital to analog converter allows the motor current to be controlled in full-,
half-, quarter-, 1/8th-step (micro stepping mode, see table2). A PHASE input to each bridge determines load current
direction.
The bridges include both ground clamp and fly-back diodes for protection against inductive transients. Internally
generated delays prevent cross-over currents when switching current direction. Special power-up sequencing is not
required. A thermal protection circuitry disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe operating limits.
The AM6289 is supplied in a 28-lead surface-mountable HSOP. Its batwing construction provides for maximum
package power dissipation in the smallest possible construction.
