Frequently asked questions
Are the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T functionally identical?
Yes. Both part numbers refer to the Allegro MicroSystems A3967 easy-to-use stepper motor driver with a built-in translator. The A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T share the same die, electrical specifications, and functional features. The difference is in the ordering suffix, which designates packaging and shipping format rather than device functionality.
What is the difference between the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T?
The suffix difference relates to packaging and shipment format. The A3967SLBTR is typically supplied in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly, while the A3967SLB-T is supplied in tube or bulk packaging. Both use the same 24-pin SOIC-W (wide-body) package and are electrically identical.
Can the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T be used interchangeably in a design?
Yes, provided the PCB assembly process supports the respective packaging format. Since both devices are electrically and functionally identical and use the same 24-pin SOIC-W package footprint, they can be interchanged in the same PCB land pattern. The choice between them is typically driven by manufacturing preferences for tape and reel versus tube feeding.
What is the output current rating of the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T?
Both devices are rated for a maximum output current of ±750 mA per channel, with a peak output current of ±800 mA. These ratings apply to both the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T, as they share identical electrical specifications.
What is the operating voltage range for the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T?
Both devices operate with a motor supply voltage (VBB) range of 4.75 V to 30 V. The logic supply voltage (VCC) range is 3.0 V to 5.5 V. These specifications are identical for the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T.
Do the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T support microstepping?
Yes. Both devices include a built-in translator that supports full-step, half-step, quarter-step, and eighth-step microstepping modes. The microstepping resolution is selected via the MS1 and MS2 logic inputs, and this functionality is identical across both part numbers.
What package type do the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T use?
Both devices are housed in a 24-pin SOIC-W (wide-body) package with a 0.300-inch body width. The package designation "SLB" in both part numbers confirms the same package type. Thermal and mechanical characteristics are identical between the two variants.
Are the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T RoHS compliant?
Allegro MicroSystems offers both the A3967SLBTR and A3967SLB-T in RoHS-compliant versions. The "TR" and "-T" suffixes indicate packaging format, not compliance status. Designers should verify the specific ordering code and date code against the manufacturer's latest product datasheet or RoHS declaration to confirm compliance for a given lot.
