APPLICATION EXAMPLES: HIGH VOLTAGE – MULTIPURPOSE USE
The TMC2160 scores with advanced motor commutation algorithms, combined with powerful external
MOSFET driver stages, and high quality current regulation. It offers a versatility that covers a wide spectrum
of applications from battery powered, high efficiency systems up to embedded applications with 20A motor
current per coil. Based on TRINAMICs unique features stallGuard2, coolStep, dcStep, spreadCycle, and
stealthChop, the TMC2160 optimizes drive performance. It trades off velocity vs. motor torque, optimizes
energy efficiency, smoothness of the drive, and noiselessness. The small form factor of the TMC2160 keeps
costs down and allows for miniaturized layouts. Extensive support at the chip, board, and software levels
enables rapid design cycles and fast time-to-market with competitive products. High energy efficiency and
reliability deliver cost savings in related systems such as power supplies and cooling. For smaller designs,
the compatible, integrated TMC2130 driver provides 1.4A of motor current.

In this application, the CPU initializes the
TMC2160 motor driver via SPI interface and
controls motor movement by sending step
and direction signals. A real time software
realizes motion control.
The CPU initializes the TMC4361 motion
controller and the TMC2160. Thereafter, it
sends target positions to the TMC4361.
Now, the TMC4361 takes control over the
TMC2160. Combining the TMC4361 and the
TMC2160 offers diverse possibilities for
demanding applications including servo
drive features.
The TMC2160-EVAL is part of TRINAMICs
universal evaluation board system which
provides a convenient handling of the
hardware as well as a user-friendly
software tool for evaluation. The
TMC2160 evaluation board system
consists of three parts:
LANDUNGSBRÜCKE (base board),
ESELSBRÜCKE (connector board including
several test points), and TMC2160-EVAL.
