DUAL FULL-BRIDGE
PWM MOTOR DRIVER
The UDN2917EB motor driver is designed to drive both windings
of a bipolar stepper motor or bidirectionally control two dc motors. Both
bridges are capable of sustaining 45 V and include internal pulse-width
modulation (PWM) control of the output current to 1.5 A.

For PWM current control, the maximum output current is determined
by the user’s selection of a reference voltage and sensing resistor. Two
logic-level inputs select output current limits of 0, 33%, 67%, or 100% of
the maximum level. A PHASE input to each bridge determines load
current direction. Active-low ENABLE inputs control the four drivers in
each bridge.

The bridges include both ground clamp and flyback diodes for
protection against inductive transients. Internally generated delays
prevent cross-over currents when switching current direction. Special
power-up sequencing is not required. Thermal protection circuitry
disables the outputs if the chip temperature exceeds safe operating limits.

The UDN2917EB is supplied in a 44-lead power PLCC for surface-
mount applications. Its batwing construction provides for maximum
package power dissipation in the smallest possible construction. The
UDN2917EB is provided for operation over an ambient temperature
range of -20°C to +85°C.
