STSPIN820

STMicroelectronics · Stepper Motor Driver · QFN-24-EP(4x4)

STSPIN820 from STMicroelectronics, in a QFN-24-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 REF input Reference voltage for the PWM current control circuitry; operating range 0.1 to 1 V, absolute maximum −0.3 to 2 V.
2 GND power_in Device ground; one of two dedicated ground pins on the logic side of the package.
3 GND power_in Device ground; one of two dedicated ground pins on the logic side of the package.
4 SNSA input Full-bridge A current-regulator sense input; voltage here is compared to the internal PWM reference; operating range −1 to +1 V, absolute maximum ±2 V.
5 SENSEA1 power_out Bridge A power-stage sense output (A1 side); connects to external shunt resistor for phase-current sensing; rated 1.5 Arms continuous.
6 SENSEA2 power_out Bridge A power-stage sense output (A2 side); connects to external shunt resistor for phase-current sensing; rated 1.5 Arms continuous.
7 OUTA1 power_out Full-bridge A power output, side A1; motor coil A terminal; 7-45 V operating supply range, 1.5 Arms continuous, RDSon HS+LS = 1 Ω typical.
8 OUTA2 power_out Full-bridge A power output, side A2; motor coil A terminal; 7-45 V operating supply range, 1.5 Arms continuous, RDSon HS+LS = 1 Ω typical.
9 VS power_in Device supply voltage; both VS pins must be held at the same potential; operating range 7 to 45 V, absolute maximum −0.3 to 48 V.
10 VS power_in Device supply voltage; both VS pins must be held at the same potential; operating range 7 to 45 V, absolute maximum −0.3 to 48 V.
11 OUTB2 power_out Full-bridge B power output, side B2; motor coil B terminal; 7-45 V operating supply range, 1.5 Arms continuous.
12 OUTB1 power_out Full-bridge B power output, side B1; motor coil B terminal; 7-45 V operating supply range, 1.5 Arms continuous.
13 SENSEB2 power_out Bridge B power-stage sense output (B2 side); connects to external shunt resistor for phase-current sensing; rated 1.5 Arms continuous.
14 SENSEB1 power_out Bridge B power-stage sense output (B1 side); connects to external shunt resistor for phase-current sensing; rated 1.5 Arms continuous.
15 SNSB input Full-bridge B current-regulator sense input; voltage here is compared to the internal PWM reference; operating range −1 to +1 V, absolute maximum ±2 V.
16 {STBY}/{RESET} input Standby/reset input; forcing below VSTBYL (0.8 V max) disables the power stage, resets all control logic to power-up state, and reduces supply current to 45 µA max; normal operation requires >2 V; 60 kΩ internal pull-down.
17 {EN}/{FAULT} bidirectional Active-low power stage enable (logic input, 5 V compliant, 5 µA pull-down) with open-drain fault output; internal MOSFET pulls pin low on overcurrent, short-circuit, or thermal shutdown; VRELEASE = 0.6 V max, VOL = 0.3 V max at 4 mA; external REN/CEN programs re-enable delay.
18 DECAY input Decay mode selection; high (>2 V) selects slow-decay only (tOFF,SLOW = tOFF); low (<0.8 V) selects mixed decay (tOFF,SLOW = 5/8 × tOFF, tOFF,FAST = 3/8 × tOFF).
19 STCK input Step clock input; each rising edge advances or retards the microstepping sequencer by one step; maximum frequency 4 MHz, minimum high or low pulse width 20 ns.
20 DIR input Direction input; high increments the sequencer (forward), low decrements it (reverse); 20 ns setup time and 20 ns hold time required relative to STCK rising edge.
21 MODE1 input Step-mode selection bit 1; combined with MODE2 and MODE3 selects full-step through 1/256-step resolution per Table 7; 20 ns setup/hold time required before STCK rising edge.
22 MODE2 input Step-mode selection bit 2; combined with MODE1 and MODE3 selects full-step through 1/256-step resolution per Table 7; 20 ns setup/hold time required before STCK rising edge.
23 MODE3 input Step-mode selection bit 3; combined with MODE1 and MODE2 selects full-step through 1/256-step resolution per Table 7; 20 ns setup/hold time required before STCK rising edge.
24 TOFF input PWM OFF-time adjustment pin; external resistor ROFF from this pin to GND sets total tOFF; recommended range 5 kΩ to 180 kΩ yielding approximately 10 µs to 150 µs; ROFF = 10 kΩ gives tOFF = 13 µs typical.
