Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3676 TMC2660 Bipolar Stepper Motor Driver UART GPIO SPI

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3676):

The MIKROE-3676 TMC2660 is a highly integrated bipolar step motor power driver, with the UART interface, GPIO, SPI. Silent Step 3 Click is the complete integrated bipolar step motor driver solution, rich with many features that allow extremely smooth and silent operation of the connected motor while being able to provide up to 4A peak motor current and withstand up to 30V supply voltage. The specialized TMC2660 IC driver from Trinamic company far exceeds the capabilities of similar step motor drivers that are commonly used. Thereby, the Silent Step 3 Click board™ is basically the “intelligence and power” between the main MCU, as a motion controller, and the two-phase stepper motor. The device achieves outstanding performance with a wide range of various step motors, thanks to several technologies featured, such as stallGuard2™ - high precision sensorless motor load detection, spreadCycle™ - highly dynamic motor current control, microPlayer™ - microstep interpolation for increased smoothness with coarse step inputs, and many more. Type: Stepper. Applications: This Click board™ is a perfect solution for building various applications that require precise and reliable stepper motor control, such as the CNC, textile or sewing Machines, ATMs/Cash recyclers, pumps, valves, printers, scanners, medical devices, and many more. On-board modules: TMC2660, a highly integrated bipolar step motor power driver, with the UART interface, from the Trinamic company. Key Features: stallGuard2™, coolStep™, spreadCycle™, and microPlayer™ advanced technologies, full output protection and diagnostics, wide input voltage range and reasonably high currents, highly efficient output MOSFETs. Interface: GPIO, SPI. Click board size: L (57.15 x 25.4 mm). Input Voltage: 3.3V, 5V.
