DESCRIPTION
The TMC5160 is a high power stepper
motor controller and driver IC with serial
communication interfaces. It combines a
flexible ramp generator for automatic
target positioning with industries’ most
advanced stepper motor driver. Using
external transistors, highly dynamic, high
torque drives can be realized. Based on
TRINAMICs sophisticated spreadCycle and
stealthChop choppers, the driver ensures
absolutely noiseless operation combined
with maximum efficiency and best motor
torque. High integration, high energy
efficiency and a small form factor enable
miniaturized and scalable systems for
cost effective solutions. The complete
solution reduces learning curve to a
minimum while giving best performance
in class.
Universal high voltage controller/driver for two-phase bipolar stepper motor. stealthChopfor quiet
movement. External MOSFETs for up to 20A motor current per coil. With Step/Dir Interface and SPI.
