4.2 Stepping Examples
The MTS2916A control modes are full-step, half-step,
modified half-step and microstepping control of the
motor, as shown in Figure 4-2.

4.3 PCB Design Guidelines
Unused inputs should be connected to fixed voltage
levels in order to get the highest noise immunity. Typi-
cal PCB layout guidelines for power applications
should be followed. These include separate power
ground planes, supply decoupling capacitors close to
the IC, short connections and use of maximized copper
areas to improve thermal dissipation.
