Two-chip designs combining a microcontroller or DSP with a highly integrated driver IC simplify the design of a stepper-motor controller, while also enabling sophisticated control features that ...

This unipolar stepper motor driver circuit is used to drive a 12V unipolar stepper motor with a current rating of 1.25A. It uses PCA9537 IC, which is a 10-pin CMOS device that provides 4 bits of ...

For each application the right type of stepper motor and driving circuit has to be determined, of course, as they also have many reasons why you’d not want to use them, or just a particular type.

The world is digital today, and most information is represented in numbers. However, human nature is more “analog” and better represented in the old-fashioned way, using pointer gauges and bar graphs.

Designed for medical devices, scientific and optical instruments, embedded automation applications, and other small-footprint devices needing dual-axis motion control, this system is designed to work ...

The FTDI DLP-USB245M is a USB-to FIFO interface module that simplifies the control of multiple steppers by a PC. The USB's many advantages have led designers to come up with a wide range of ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has introduced the TB67S559FTG 50V/3.0A stepper motor driver IC that supports constant current control with built-in current detection. 50V/3.0A constant current stepper ...

Toshiba has launched an 4 x 4mm QFN24 stepper motor driver that can run from 4.5 to 33V and deliver up to 1.2A. Typical on-resistance of the output block is 1.2Ω. “It is well suited for ...

Rather than having the host Pi communicate directly with the stepper drivers, the 3+Pi features an onboard STM32F302CBT6 that handles the actual motor control. The Pi just needs to tell it what to ...
