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 ...

The SLA7070MPRT series are unipolar two-phase stepper motor driver integrated circuits (ICs). This device uses a clock input method as a control signal input method, enabling full control of the ...

ST Micro's Markus Ekler explains the technology and derives thermal loss equations that can be used to support design decisions for stepper motor driver circuits. One constant trend in the automotive ...

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 would ...

In this EDN Magazine article, Phill Leyva and Bill Quach of Maxim Integrated Products describe a stepper motor-driver circuit based on Maxim's MAX 9715, a tiny, surface-mount, 2.8W Class D audio ...

The X20SM1436-1 module from B&R can be used to operate stepper motors with operating voltages of 18-60 VDC at rated currents up to 2.5 A. In addition, an integrated current reduction function ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

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 ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...
