MICROSTEPPING, UNIPOLAR PWM,
HIGH-CURRENT MOTOR CONTROLLER/DRIVER
The SLA7042M and SLA7044M are designed for high-efficiency
and high-performance microstepping operation of 2-phase, unipolar
stepper motors. Microstepping provides improved resolution without
limiting step rates, and provides much smoother low-speed motor
operation. An automated, innovative packaging technology combined
with power NMOS FETs and monolithic CMOS logic/control circuitry
advances power multi-chip modules (PMCMs™) toward the complete

ler/drivers operate independently. The 4-bit shift registers are serially
loaded with motor phase information and output current-ratio data (eight
levels). The combination of user-selectable current-sensing resistor,
linearly adjustable reference voltage, and digitally selected output
current ratio provides users with a broad, variable range of of full, half,
and microstepping motor control (IOUT ≈ [VREF/3 • RS] • Current Ratio).

and utilizes advanced NMOS FETs for the high-current, high-voltage
driver outputs. The avalanche-rated (≥100 V) FETs provide excellent
ON resistance, improved body diodes, and very-fast switching. The
multi-chip ratings and performance afford significant benefits and
advantages for stepper drives when compared to the higher dissipation
and slower switching speeds associated with bipolar transistors. Highly
