The Green A4988 driver Stepper Motor Driver- Normal Quality is a complete micro-stepping motor driver with a built-in converter, easy to operate. It operates from 8V to 35V and can deliver up to approximately 1A per phase without a heat sink or forced air flow (it is rated for 2A per coil with sufficient additional cooling).

A4988 driver Stepper Motor Driverincludes a fixed off-time current regulator, the regulator can be in slow or mixed decay mode. The converter is the key to the easy implementation of the A4988.

There are no phase sequence tables, high-frequency control interface programming, etc. The application of the A4988 interface is very suitable for a complex microprocessor that is not available or overloaded. In the stepping operation, the chopping control in the A4988 automatically selects the current decay mode (slow or mixed). The mix decay current control scheme can reduce the audible motor noise, increase step accuracy, and reduce power consumption.

Provide internal synchronous rectification control circuitry, in order to improve the pulse width modulation (PWM) power consumption during operation.

Internal circuit protection includes thermal shutdown with hysteresis, under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and crossover current protection. Dont need special power-up sequencing. A4988 uses a surface mount QFN package (ES), the size is 5 mm 5 mm, nominal overall package height is 0.90 mm, with an exposed thermal pad to enhance the heat dissipation function.

Attention! The connection and disconnection of the motor, while the driver is turned on, can damage the system.

Note:Thedifference between product A4988 driver Stepper Motor Driver- Standard Quality and A4988 driver Stepper Motor Driver- Good Quality is, The good quality A4988 has more number of PCB layersand it features the connecting pins which are of gold plated as compared to other.
