A3950SLPTR-T

Allegro MicroSystems LLC · Global Sourcing Parts · HTSSOP-16

A3950SLPTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems LLC, in a HTSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NFAULT output Fault output that is open drain and is driven active low by a motor fault, undervoltage condition, or TJ > 160°C, with VOL of 0.4 V maximum at 1.0 mA sink.
2 MODE input Logic input that toggles between fast decay mode (low) and slow decay mode (high), with VIH of 2.0 V minimum and VIL of 0.8 V maximum.
3 PHASE input Logic input for direction control, with VIH of 2.0 V minimum and VIL of 0.8 V maximum; logic input voltages must not exceed 7 V.
4 GND power_in Ground pin; the exposed thermal pad is connected to the GND pins and the copper ground plane under the pad makes a good star ground point.
5 SLEEP input Logic input where a logic low puts the device into Sleep mode and a logic high allows normal operation, with VIH of 2.7 V minimum and VIL of 0.8 V maximum.
6 ENABLE input Logic input for enable/chop control, with VIH of 2.0 V minimum and VIL of 0.8 V maximum; logic input voltages must not exceed 7 V.
7 OUTA output DMOS full-bridge output A, rated for an output current of 2.8 A maximum (6 A transient for under 500 ns) and VBB to OUTx of 36 V maximum.
8 SENSE passive Power return pin for current sensing, where the voltage on SENSE must not exceed ±500 mV.
9 VBB power_in Load supply voltage, specified for operation from 8 V to 36 V with an absolute maximum of 36 V.
10 OUTB output DMOS full-bridge output B, rated for an output current of 2.8 A maximum (6 A transient for under 500 ns) and OUTx to SENSE of 36 V maximum.
11 CP1 passive Charge pump capacitor terminal; a 0.1 µF ceramic monolithic capacitor is connected between CP1 and CP2.
12 CP2 passive Charge pump capacitor terminal; a 0.1 µF ceramic monolithic capacitor is connected between CP1 and CP2.
13 GND power_in Ground pin; the exposed thermal pad is connected to the GND pins and the copper ground plane under the pad makes a good star ground point.
14 VCP passive Reservoir capacitor terminal; a 0.1 µF ceramic monolithic capacitor is connected between VCP and VBB, and VCP undervoltage disables the outputs.
15 VREG passive Regulator decoupling terminal that should be decoupled with a 0.22 µF capacitor to ground, and VREG undervoltage disables the outputs.
16 NC unconnected No connection.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
