A5976GLPTR-T

Allegro MicroSystems LLC · Global Sourcing Parts · TSSOP-28-EP

A5976GLPTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems LLC, in a TSSOP-28-EP. 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 SENSE1 passive Current-sense resistor connection for bridge 1, where the DC SENSE voltage must not exceed 0.5 V.
2 FAULTn output Open-drain fault output that is pulled low when an overcurrent condition exists, latched until RESETn or a VBB power cycle.
3 DIR input Logic input whose state sets the direction of motor rotation.
4 OUT1A output Output A of DMOS full-bridge 1, driving the bipolar stepper motor winding.
5 PFD input Analog input selecting decay mode: above 0.6×VDD selects slow decay, below 0.21×VDD selects fast decay, and it should be decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
6 RC1 input Analog fixed off-time timing terminal for bridge 1, with off-time set by external RT and CT to ground (RT 12 kΩ to 100 kΩ, CT 470 pF to 1500 pF).
7 AGND power_in Analog ground, which must be connected externally together with PGND and the thermal pad.
8 REF input Gm reference voltage input that sets the current limit; VREF should not exceed 4 V except in full-step mode, where it can go up to VDD.
9 RC2 input Analog fixed off-time timing terminal for bridge 2, with off-time set by external RT and CT to ground (RT 12 kΩ to 100 kΩ, CT 470 pF to 1500 pF).
10 VDD power_in Logic supply voltage, operating range 3 to 5.5 V.
11 OUT2A output Output A of DMOS full-bridge 2, driving the bipolar stepper motor winding.
12 MS2 input Logic input that selects microstep resolution together with MS1 (L,L full step; L,H half step; H,L quarter step; H,H sixteenth step), latched on the STEP command.
13 MS1 input Logic input that selects microstep resolution together with MS2, with changes taking effect only at the next STEP command.
14 SENSE2 passive Current-sense resistor connection for bridge 2, where the DC SENSE voltage must not exceed 0.5 V.
15 VBB2 power_in Load supply for bridge 2, operating range 8 to 40 V.
16 DECAY input Logic input that, when high, forces slow decay on steps where DAC levels increase or stay equal and otherwise uses the PFD setting; when low, decay is always set by PFD.
17 RESETn input Active-low logic input that sets the translator to the home state and turns off all DMOS outputs, with STEP inputs ignored until it returns high.
18 OUT2B output Output B of DMOS full-bridge 2, driving the bipolar stepper motor winding.
19 STEP input Logic input where a low-to-high transition advances the motor one microstep, requiring a minimum high and low pulse width of 1 µs.
20 VREG power_out Internally generated regulator voltage for the sink-side DMOS gates, to be decoupled with a 0.22 µF capacitor to ground.
21 PGND power_in Power ground, which must be connected externally together with GND and the thermal pad.
22 VCP power_out Charge-pump reservoir capacitor terminal, requiring a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between VCP and VBB.
23 CP1 passive Charge-pump capacitor terminal, requiring a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between CP1 and CP2.
24 CP2 passive Charge-pump capacitor terminal, requiring a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor between CP1 and CP2.
25 OUT1B output Output B of DMOS full-bridge 1, driving the bipolar stepper motor winding.
26 ENABLEn input Active-low logic input that enables all DMOS outputs, with outputs disabled when logic-high.
27 SLEEPn input Active-low logic input for sleep mode, where a logic-high allows normal operation and 1 ms is required after wakeup before a STEP command.
28 VBB1 power_in Load supply for bridge 1, operating range 8 to 40 V.
29 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
