DMOS Microstepping DriverA4988with Translator and Overcurrent ProtectionDESCRIPTION (continued) Internal synchronous rectification control circuitry is provided to The A4988 is supplied in a surface-mount QFN package (ET), 5 mm improve power dissipation during PWM operation. Internal circuit × 5 mm, with a nominal overall package height of 0.90 mm and an protection includes: thermal shutdown with hysteresis, undervoltage exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free lockout (UVLO), and crossover-current protection. Special power-on (suffix –T), with 100% matte-tin-plated leadframes. sequencing is not required.
