DESCRIPTION

The TEA3717 is a bipolar monolithic integrated circuit intended to control and drive the current in one winding of a bipolar stepper motor. The circuit consists of an LS-TTL compatible logic input, a current sensor, a monostable and an output stage with builtin protection diodes. Two TEA3717 and a few external components form a complete control and drive unit for LS-TTL or microprocessor-controlled stepper motor systems.
