Figure 3.2 Standalone Stepper Operation
The standalone stepper application uses just three interface lines, to operate the stepper: STEP, DIR
and DIAG for feedback. Microstep resolution and standstill power down become pre-configured by
tying MS1, MS2 and PDN to VIO or GND. The motor current is determined by the choice of sense
resistors.
3.2.1 Configuration Pins
The TMC2300 provides three configuration pins. These pins allow quick configuration for standalone
operation.
PDN_UART: CONFIGURATION OF STANDSTILL POWER DOWN (STANDALONE STEPPER MODE)

Current Setting
GND
Enable automatic power down in standstill periods
VIO

UART interface
When using the UART interface, the power-down configuration pin is
automatically disabled. Program IHOLD as desired for standstill periods.
