EVALUATION BOARD

TMC2160-EVAL Evaluation Kit

Document Revision V1.01 • 2019-MAR-19

The TMC2160-EVAL is designed for evaluating all features of the TMC2160. The evaluation board

is part of TRINAMICs user-friendly plug-in system for chip evaluation. Just connect the TMC2160-

EVAL with Landungsbruecke, the associated base board. Therefore, use the dedicated connector

board, called Eselsbruecke. Eselsbruecke oﬀers test points for every connector pin.
