Recommended Substitutions:

DMOS Dual Full-Bridge PWM Motor Driver

A3965

The A3965 is a fairly unique device within Allegro’s portfolio, typically

fitting niche low-voltage, battery-driven stepper motor applications.

Our closest recommended alternatives are:

• For customers looking for a stepper motor driver for battery-driven

applications, we recommend the A3977, A3982, A3983, or A3984.

• The closest device functionally is the A3966, if supply current and a

low logic voltage (4.75 to 5.5 V) are not issues.
